Ottawa Fiero Club Forum

Finally got rid of the Fiero...........   >:D  traded for this lovely Booick !

Okay, it has a few warts
*Passenger door handle broken
*driver door hard to open (I'll break that handle later today)
*driver seat broken off mounts
*some rust damage/leaking around windshield
*Some parts dirty and/or worn badly (okay I haven't really found a clean spot yet)
*brakes stuck on a bit (the smell cancels out the old McDonald's wrappers)
*underside kinda rusted out from the cradle to the rear suspension.
Some dents, scratches, rusty spots, and the grill met a trailer hitch and got friendly.

That's just the initial walk around results.   O0

  Nice car, I used to have one of those, digital dash, power everything a lot less rust. I might have the Haynes book for it somewhere, will let you know.  Kevin

This one isn't digital.  I think it may be well past Haynes' help.   :-\

BTW, the trailing arms or whatever they're called for the rear suspension seem to be held up with baling wire.   :o

Also seems to have a little oil leak underneath, either the tranny or the engine.

The rear seats are really cool.  I think they'd be great for  a rat rod.  They have individual backs and bottoms clipped onto the car,  with a small console in between.  A tiny flap on the console flips down for a pass thru to the trunk.  The guy said it was just the right size for a fishing rod and his goalie stick.   ;)

Okay, okay!  What it does have is a S1 3800 reman with 110k on it.  The alloy wheels are 16" and have 2 good tires and 2 so-so tires.  They are destined for the dustbuster van

The dash is kind of neat.  I like the tiny long row of instruments, but the bottom half will need to be modded for something as it now has a large radio slot, and several banks of useless climate controls and a/c vents.  Useless in that the Fiero has only window defrost and bottom blowing heater as I have sealed all the mid vents in the ducting system.  It looks like a good fit but we'll see.

Damage:
good engine and tranny
4 Alloys with a couple of good tires,
dash and instruments
rear seats
neat steering wheel, but it's discoloured
lots of bits like brackets, nuts and bolts.
It has a 2 way electric sunroof, but it's too long for the Fiero. 
whatever scrap value.......probably send it off free with future considerations in scrap yard hunting trips,

$300, delivered to my yard.  I think it's a decent buy.

What'd you do, appropriate Mallory's car?  ;)

That air filter can looks familiar....
