i would give my right nut for a clean fiero, i see them from time to time for sale but they have had the shit kicked out of them

...and the clean ones that do show up are usually going for asinine prices. I'm lucky I found mine when I did--granted it needed plenty of work, mechanically.

what i loved about the fiero, its a parts bin car, cross between a chevette and celebrity!

Chevette/Acadia= T-body
Celebrity= A body, and so closely related to X-body their manuals are the same

Toys? Ain't got any anymore. Traded in my Cobalt SS/SC a week or so ago for a brutally boring 2012 Chevy Cruze 1LT. I still have a brutally boring 96 Chevy Beretta.
I traded this:


For this:


The Beretta... in pretty good shape, but an orphan car.


i do love ATV's though...
2002 Yamaha Warrior 350

2004 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4

At one point, I had an 84 Capri RS 5.0L
Fun car, but a foolkiller. I sold it after only a couple of months:
Pretty rare car now. This is the car in 1992.

My dad had an 89 Mustang GT convertible he bought new.
Prom night May 1990... yes that's me. shut up.

sam i know the chevette was a T body, the fiero got its front end, the rear end of the fiero was the front end of a A body, the joke was a fiero was a celebrity running in reverse.

sam as for the mustang... wow, vanilla ice would be proud


as for me, since last summer is the first time i have not owned a J body or had one in the family

The daily-ish driver (I don't drive it in the winter any more): '99 New Beetle TDI. 645,000 km, pretty much everything mechanical including the clutch is original. (Did have to replace a driveaxle at 520,000 km)




VW-Eibach sport kit lowering springs, 17" alloys, leather interior swap from an '04 Beetle, muffler delete, euro rear fog light, HID retrofit and a Momo Corse steering wheel.

The summer toy: A 1969 Beetle, with a sunroof.




I first "met" this car about 11 years ago, never saw it again and then ended up with it last summer out of some very random occurrences. I drive it every day I can from the time the roads are clear till it snows. This winter she's getting a 2.5" drop all around, Riviera alloys, EMPI header exhaust, and a bit of front end love (new fenders, new trunk lid, new bumper.)


The retirement car: A 1952 VW Beetle deluxe "Zwitter". From the first shipment of VWs to Canada. Currently collecting pieces to make it complete, which has been a pretty enjoyable experience. Found the correct 25 horsepower engine last month (locally, too!). This car, although beat up, is remarkably solid.





The winter car:

It's a Jetta. It's an appliance.



Current project: A '71 Super Beetle, dubbed "The Angry Beetle".







Currently working on this one... nice, un-rusted california shell. Upgrading the suspension and brakes to stuff from a Porsche 924 (It's bolt on!), building a 2275 cc monster engine with Megasquirt EFI, deleting all the chrome, installing a Kamei front air dam, colour keying the bumpers/headlight trim/etc, interior will be mostly Porsche 924, gauge trio is from a Porsche 914. Either running ATS 5 spoke alloys or Porsche 15" Fuchs alloys.


My Italian sports car: 1965 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet


It was a good price. I haven't really touched it yet. Looking for a windshield.

Pininfarina body, Maserati built 1500 OHC engine. It's pretty.


Another Beetle: 1966 VW 1300



My uncle bought it new. This is original condition. The engine is having issues and I swear I'll get to it next year.


I also have a bunch of other Beetles, a VW Golf rally car build, a Porsche 924 and some other crap I'm sure.

My endless project 1991 Dodge Spirit. The body was much nicer when I bought it, but the mechanicals were much worse. It was a mostly finished project car that some guy had fucked up tremendously. Blown turbo, head gasket, cracked head, and fuel lines that seriously want to catch on fire, with the fuel rail cut and spliced together with vac line. Fucking vac line. Everything that can break has. Now those things have been replaced, as well as many others. It's still finding occasional things to break. This week's caper was fuel pump wiring. Named Zombie Tim Curry for this tendency to break down every 500 miles or so, and for the sexual moaning sound the steering wheel makes when you turn. All in all, it's a speedy little overpowered shit box that handles like a go kart, with the suspension and squeakiness of a radio flyer wagon.




In it's natural habitat


17hp worth the stickers.

And then AS SEEN ON TV:

Needs more antennae.

My first turbo dodge was identical. I still have the window sticker around here for it. They actually only made about 300 of those turbo 5spd spirits.

my "toy"


whatthefuckamidoing.jpg

Currently restoring my toy. Took it down to frame, sandblasted, body work, and new paint. 230 flathead is machined and ready to go back together. New everything essentially.

Before I took it apart:



Now:






And what I work on on the weekends:

1944 M5A1 Stuart Tank







Among other WW2 vehicles...

The tanks are neat, but limited in drivability I would suggest! Winner to date:



The view from one of my present toys:



Chasing that R35 I did indeed see 8500 rpm too... Out with friends last Wednesday:



Neko.

i just noticed... your speedo is mph, but your coolant temp gage is in Celsius.
