Sorrowful News!

I am going to have to close the doors to Fiero Fantasy Concepts for the time being. My previous partner, Caesar was not able to manage his money which was costing me way too much. So if and when I find another partner, I may re-launch Fiero Fantasy Concepts.

In the mean time, I need to get re-organized...I have ton's on parts and a decent amount of cars...too much stuff if I am not going to do Fiero Fantasy Concepts at the moment.

Going to keep the following Fieros:

1. BluDrm 86 GT Sunroof - Pegasus Edition 3800-SC / 5-Speed, black with blue stitching G1 dash, Zimmer door panels
2. Barbie 88 GT Sunroof - Pegasus Edition DOHC / 5 Speed, black with hot pink stitching G1 dash, G1 Door Panels
3. 88 GT T-Top - Ferrari 328 GTS Replica Body 3.4 Turbo / 5 Speed, two-tone dark tan/black G1 dash, G1 door panels
4. 88 GT Testarossa hardtop body - 3800-SC Automatic with paddle shifters, G1 dash, G1 door panels

Fieros for sale (pictures to follow shortly):

1. 87 GT Black/silver exterior, tan interior, 2.8 V6 / 5-speed....very clean interior.
2. 88 GT 2.8 V6 / 5-Speed EVM_Rob 308 / MERA body mounted and primed.
3. 88 GT T-Top 2.8 V6 / 5-Speed

I will be doing the following.

1. Finish punch list on BluDrm....still have minor tweaks that need to be completed...also new flywheel & Clutch thanks to the install boys at the Cartoys in Hurst, TX while installing the push button start system, then thought it would be fun to go take it for a joy ride.

2. Upgrades on Barbie

3. Upgrades on 88 GT T-Top - Ferrari 328 GTS

Sorry about you side business! Just curious, do you plan on continuing to R&D parts? Things like the GT quarter windows and such. Do you plan on continuing making and selling your roofs?

Yes, but there is going to be a delay while I regroup. I need to get all my stuff back to my property this week 1st.

I'm not usually a fan of any of kits, but that 328 is gorgeous!

Sorry to hear about FFC

Well Dominic dropped off the 328 this morning, unfortunately he got here a little too late for me to make the NTFC meeting his morning

Sorry TxOpie, I took a wrong turn at Albuquerque, lol. Enjoy my friend!!!

Pm sent

Starting to pickup the pieces and get things moving forward. I am only going to be finishing up my 3 Fieros and then I am going stop playing and start driving again.

I have Stephen Poe over changing the Flywheel & Clutch (SPEC3+)...car toys thought that they earned a free pass to go joy riding in BluDrm after they installed the push button start system....burnt out the clutch completely.

Then I am bringing BluDrm to another shop to get all the little things corrected.

Well need to flip out the SPEC3+ clutch...the parts place sent me the one for the 5-speed Isuzu instead of the 5-Speed Getrag

UPDATE:

Just got off the phone with SPEC and they are shipping me the correct SPEC3+ clutch (SC883F) for 3800-SC and 5-Speed Getrag.

UPDATE:

Clutch shipped from SPEC via UPS. So I decided with the cradle down for the 1st time in a few years it was a great time to get in there and clean it up.
I have been able to get a few areas of the engine bay and cradle cleaned up.
Wow I am SO glad I had it powder coated...it is cleaning up so easily and looks perfect again.
I am now give the transmission a good cleaning.

I imagine my SPEC3+ clutch will show up Monday or Tuesday.

So hopefully it will line up with Stephen's schedule and we can button this up.
I am ready to get her down to the new shop and let them attempt to get things right that last shop didn't quite hit the mark!

You have a great shop right there. Don't you have everything needed to GIT ER DONE?

And Y isn't your daughter going to drive one of those Fiero's?

NOSRAC,

It all comes down to time and I just don't have it to spend on it.

In regards to my daughter...she has told me since she was 9 years old that she wanted a Miata....really...do you think I was going to give her anything else!

Here is a picture of my baby with her man (Andrew Montague...As in the House of Montague in Romeo and Juliet). Not bad as son in laws go!

Cute Couple, She must get her looks from her mother...Ahhh hahaha
I don't blame u aspoiling her as I have a 1 year old Daughter and she already gets almost everything she wants.
So you going to have your daughter and Son in law living with you now?
If so give him your around the house chores so you will have more time to spend in the Fiero Cave.

Thanks! and most definitely she gets her looks from her mother and her grandmother...all 3 look very similar...almost scary how similar.

They are only going to be staying with us for a few weeks while they are getting settled here in DFW.

OK...the correct SPEC3+ clutch is here and Mr. Poe should be here later today to finish up.

Picked up a few other parts:

For my 328 / ReMera with T-Tops:


Also picked up FIERO TUBULAR ARM COILOVER 14 BRAKES SWAY BARS for BluDrm:

Stephen Poe was out last night and installed the new SPEC3+ clutch & flywheel.
Got as far as getting the engine back in and everything reconnected.
Now we just have to add coolant, bleed the clutch and put the deck lid back on.

Austin also showed up last night and picked-up the red 88 T-Top from Ohio...he is going to finish it's restore and put a series 3 3800-SC in her.

Update from Rob Amida....he is still waiting on my Butterscotch material to do my two tone dash

Just picked up 4 GM NOS Pontiac Fiero Splash guards or mud flaps for BluDrm:


I live off a dirt road and since this is my daily...i actually will be driving it frequently and will help.

For $5.00

BluDrm is headed to the shop tonight to have her alignment & brakes bleed.

Then onto the Body/interior shop!

My ignorance...no room in a Fiero's engine bay to fit this pump on the 3.4 Live and learn....I guess I will have to utilize another option.

Negotiating on obtaining the following option...hopefully it works out:



If not, will have to look at WCF electric steering setup:

I received a few things in the mail yesterday: Tom's Radio with aux input, 3 sets of GM "Fiero" mud flaps (live off dirt road), and the new P Seals & the top glass seals for T-Tops

Installed Tom's Radio into Barbie last night. It looks really good. Need to swap out Barbie's speakers next...they are a little shot!
