Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: 2ML67 on February 04, 2004, 03:42:05 pm Hey someone should warn that guy Fiero's and fire do not mix nor do as proven by one of our members whom I will not name that grinders and Fiero's also do not mix.
Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: FieroBUZZ on February 04, 2004, 05:59:56 pm So I read the topic. When are you going to start taking it apart? Surely you don't think unbolting a couple of things qualifies. ;D ;D ;D ;D
You'd be surprised how fast a fat man can move, when a bunch of smoke comes out of the back of one of these things. BTW, thanks for the pic.....took about 10 minutes to load the page. ::) Get a frickin graphics program, LOL!!!!!

??? Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: FieroBUZZ on February 05, 2004, 06:31:58 am Jay, you may want to talk to these guys. They keep getting rusty cars too.
The lad with the beard is Dan's buddy who is becoming somewhat of a Fiero rust repair expert. They're making way for Brian's 3800 s/c motor. Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: GoFast85 on February 05, 2004, 07:35:01 am John is beefing up the frame in anticipation of a bit of driver induced torque.
Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: 2ML67 on February 05, 2004, 07:58:58 am Yes he is getting quite good at Fiero rust repairing and if Brian was to drive more respectably like myself there would not be any need for the frame reinforcing. But as not everyone has the same respect for the law and his fellow drivers then frame reinforcing is just maybe a good idea after all.
Gary are you going to be home saturday I might try and make it to the meeting and visit while I'm there. Plus there is a guy in my class from your area who wants a ride up for the day. Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: GoFast85 on February 05, 2004, 09:28:07 am Dan - You have room for 4 brand new Z rated tires to put on the YellowJacket?
Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: 2ML67 on February 05, 2004, 03:09:14 pm Sure no problem after all it is a MINI VAN lots of room. After all that is what the married guys are driving now a days isn't it. Just ask Eric.
Would reccomend waiting till John's done with the grinding and cutting before I instal them though. He should be done by next weekend then I'll bring her back down here to start the transplant that leads to a much heavier foot and much higher speeding ticket capability. Got him to modify the repair where battery used to be to allow stronger mounting of ignition module at that point.

Three and a half thousand dollars? You could buy another one for that! Kevin Title: Re:The '88 under the knife (warning large pic) Post by: dguy on February 09, 2004, 09:26:19 am ::) ::) ::)
