well its finally time to get this stuff together, ive had all the parts (thanks to dan and fierobuzz)

so im going to list what i need to do, just for fun

-im going to be putting in a new(well newer) engine (4-tec), that hopefully runs (got it a few years ago from dan)

-new tranny is going in, cause mine was on the brink (got that from fierobuzz)

-an area nose that i bought off ebay when i first got the car about 6 years ago and never had the time to put on

-a gt trunk and wing (that i still owe fierobuzz at least a pepsi for, lol)

-a new cd player (as the one in it went into my 240sx that i sold)

-fix the headliner(this is probably going to be the most annoying thing)

-new 4x10 speakers up front (probably kicker ks410's)

-new rims, probably 16" or 17" and new tires.. as the ones i have are bald. (if anyone is selling some nice ones, or knows of someone let me know)

- a paint job (red or blue havnt decided, but ill be doing it in my garage, so it will be cheap)

and whatever else needs fixing


and after all that ill finnally be driving my fiero that has sat for the last 3-4 years

next step after all this is done, and before paint is to go out to the field where my other fiero is stashed and see if the sunroof leaks, and if not ill be swapping that too

I just replaced the weatherstrip on my sunroof and that didn't solve my leak problem (it now doesn't sit right).   Sad

I'll be looking to swap my sunroof (which I don't really need...it isn't as though I drive around with it out) for a regular roof.
