Newbie - Intro
« on: September 16, 2021, 11:17:35 am »
Hello all ye mighty Fiero Lords and awesome Pontiac Heads!

Good Morning, Sirs!

I'm AJ, from South Duluth/Lawrenceville (I-85) area. I recently became the proud owner when I took the bold move to rescue a harrowed, badly beaten up, mistreated 87 FIERO (2.5 L, no sunroof). I bought it and brought it home a few weeks ago (pics to follow this weekend). It runs, but barely.  Needs a lot of work inside and out, and on the engine too! There are a lot of undiagnosed errors, mis-wiries, missing parts and quick fixes that need to be looked into, the sooner the better.

Growing up, I knew it was a super cool car, ahead of its time and I always wanted one that has its own identity. A classmate got one when he moved to college in IL, and everytime I used to see his car, I fell deeper in love! I am new to auto repairs but am willing to put in the time and learn from the Resident Maestros and Passionate Owners this forum come to be known for! I know I have a long way to go but I'd like to hang out more and more in here, meet everyone and gradually learn the ins and outs of upkeep, maintenance and restoration :).

I love volunteeting my time and services for projects and activities, so if I can be of any help, I'd love to sign up and assist the forum/forum members with anything!

ps: Thank you @Fierofool

- Thank you everyone and hope to meet you all soon!,
AJ.

Welcome, AJ.  I'm a native Duluthian.  West Liddell Road where the Bridgewater Condominiums are located.  Also a FieroHead since 1993. 
There are three kinds of men:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Thank you, and welcome aboard as well!!!
 
Looks like you have a Harley? ;) That's not bad!

ps: did they finish your onboarding/induction program? The males need to shave our chests, start working on a mohawk, get the club tattoo on their forehead, take a blood oath and pledge our firstborns. If you're a female, you just do the Riverdance tapdance routine and you're automatically in. :D  :D ;D ;) ;)

Wow! Great to hear!
I'm near the Walmart/Buford Highway/Berkeley Lake.

So Tiny Duluth has TWO fieros now? :) 8) 8) We should enter them in the Fall Festival this weekend, Sir!

Welcome to our parlor!
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.
