If anyone sees anything out there! Let me know!

Thanks; Rob

I'm restoring an 85GT.

the frame has been completly cleaned, sanded and repainted. No rust (at all). 2.8L from an 86GT mated to a 5spd Isuzu.

interior was striped, cleaned, repainted, new wiering. Will soon have new brakes, clutch less than a year old.

all power options, no a/c

exterior is black but need paint.

completly new exaust from cat back.

Bah.. not sure what else.. car will be finished by the end of april.

$2500 Firm.

Cheers!
Eric

hmmm Any Chance I can see it before I commit? umm Im not sure when I would be able too... Got any Pictures? This sounds like an EXCELLENT deal..

You are welcome to even take it for a spin. :)

Just let us finish it first. :P

Rob --- come talk to me about my 85 Se 4 sp.
My '88 is on the way

Bump there Rob

Thanx, I posted this on the GTA forum too! hopefully someone out there is willing to part... What kinda shape is your 85se in?

Eric how many km on the motor? certified, e-tested?

Engine only has 100K/km

Will certify but with stock brakes. And e-test needs cat converter. But it can be done.

Cheers!
Eric

I maybe interested in it.


BTW is it a notch back Eric?

yes it is, 85GT.


cheers!
Eric

So it will need a new Cat and some sort of break work to pass cert/emmissions?

Thanks;

Yep. I can install the Cat for you. And the brakes can be put back to stock. (it has grand am rear brakes right now, but no e-brake )

Cheers!
Eric

Cool, is the price the same with Cat installed and breaks returned? How much extra with the Rear Break setup? or would you want to include it?

Get me a cat-converter of your choice and i will put it in.

Brakes I can put back to stock for you,

if you want both, you will neeed to buy the grand am brakes from me. :)

Cheers!
Eric

what size of Exhaust tubing/ Cat would I need to get you, and when do you need it by?

later;

Didn't get a reply from you yet. You still interested in a purchase?

Sorry, i thought I PM'd you(I dont have Long distance phone in my rez).. but maybe it didnt go through or something.. Anychance I can see the car before i try to decide.. Whats the Milage/frame/general condition of the car? and how much would you be asking?

Thanks;Rob

If you didn't have such a hatred of auto's I would sell you my 86 SE.

Im not Anti-Auto... What kind of shape is this car in? In fact.. Future plans may demand an Auto Trans anyways, Message me and we can talk about it.

Later; Rob

Rob I don't think you want to spend that kind of money right now. I was talking about my 86 SE with the 1998 3800SC and 4T65E set up. Kinda stuck on the idea of doing up an 88 now for my self that is.

Ah, I see.. yes that would be more then I could afford! haha unless you wanted to give it away real cheap... as in 3 thousand cheap!!! (worth a try right...)

2 pages of thread and still looking? Hey its summer, you got to get out and get one.   :D ;)

I know! actualy Im going to look at one in belleville this afternoon when I get back.. My girlfriend saw it Says its yellow.. thats all I know at this moment in time.. Shes not exactly literite when It comes to identifying Models and such.

 ;) Sounds like you have "the itch"
Dan -- you are not spray painting Fiero's yellow in Bellville, now are you? You always was a trend setter.

Went and saw it today.. Its an '86 BASE coupe.. cept it has a wing... which would make it a 5 speed Isuzu with the 2.5l, no price yet, looks like minimal rust.. but the interior doesnt look good!

Later;

Do your self a large favour look with good light up in behind plastic wheel well inserts for hidden rust. Also push on insulation in engine compartment with hand if it sounds crackly its rotted same with trunk carpet. Lots of places for rust to hide on these cars. I am not trying to insult your knowledge of these cars, if you would like I can go with you to look it over between the two of us everything should be found.  

Yea, I know all the places that rust likes to hide in these cars! Ive got one on stands out in my garage thats going to be a parts car cause its so damaged in the trunk/frame rails that I just dont have the desire to fix. but the rear body is all off!

Im not planning on buying this car now, but I will go back and have a good look at all the places and find out price and milage just in case someone else is interested.

Later; Rob

Sorry Rob, due to the business taking off faster than anticipated, I need to sell the car ASAP UNFINISHED. ie: restored frame with GT package, no engine and no interior.

I need the space in my garage for customers cars.

Asking $500 for the frame. (alot of cash invested in the urathane paint for the frame)

Cheers!
Eric

Thats fine, If I had the money Id buy the car as is.. but right now, I dont have the money/time to finish up a project car! hope you find a buyer!

Later; Rob

Rob; I heard from a little bird that there is a (red I think) fiero for sale along Hwy 2 just west of Bayside on the way to Trenton; not sure which side but whoever it is has two I think.
(only one for sale)
just a lead maybe
good luck

PS; you have a parts car in your garage?  Is the rad mount any good?  BoyZ is looking for one.  If you have one he may be interested and I could bring it back with me in a wk or so.
LMK!!

Whats the Rad mount look like? Im pretty sure it may be rusty!

hi Rob
it would be the horizontal piece below the rad; prob a bit hard to see unless the rad is out.  Sort of folded sheet steel, like almost everything else.
as long as it is solid he may be interested.

okay, well I will pull the Rad on Friday and Have a look at it! Cant hurt right?

Later; Rob

thanks Rob; it would be for Karl, if it is any good.
I will be down SAT; have to come down for a funeral service; just down and back same day but if you PM me with your phone number I can prob swing by and pick it up (assuming it is in decent shape!!) so lmk what shape it is in (is it worth it?) and talk to Karl (BoyZ) about what $$ you want etc and PM me your phone number for Sat afternoon contact - where will you be then?
I can prob pick it up about 5-ish...... a guess.
Thx
GP

I will be at work, but if its any good I will take it there with me, I work at Subway..I will give you directions if needed!

Later; Rob

ok Rob
did you get hold of BoyZ I hope?  In case he has managed to find another somewhere......
The subway is across the Bay Bridge I think?
Will keep in touch till Friday on this; but check in with Karl; I will tell him to do the same with you.
thx
