The Market / 87 GT Donor Car
« on: November 12, 2009, 12:04:37 am »
Well, I have to sell her. I'd prefer to get her gone in one piece (or what's remaining of the main body), but I am open to parting out the car. It's a Gold 87 GT.

The vehicle is totaled. The front end has taken a blow on the right from hitting a large embankment, and the same accident bent the spaceframe. On the otherhand, what is inside the car is intact. Even the inside of the front has remained safe, including the right headlight and its motor and gears (the left headlight motor gear is stripped, however.)

The V6 engine and automatic transmission have 111,900 miles on them. Tires have between 70-80% tread left (could all use some air - I have an air compressor to pump them up), and the interior of the car has only ever suffered the wear of time and not heavy damage (faded in the floorboard, small driver seat tear. Interior is brown). It features the Power Windows and Power Mirrors, and a Sony radio has been installed along with new refrigerant A/C (Needs charged, might need to address a possible leak before charging). Dashboard is free of cracks.

On the outside, I'd say the only panels that haven't suffered something would be the right rear quarter panel, driver side door panel, and, thankfully, the fastback clip. All parts for the rear clip of the car are in excellent condition. Basically, it's a prime candidate for a donor, but will not itself make it back on the road. It IS operable, but with the front end panels removed, wheels disalligned, and a nearly shattered windshield, it'll need a tow.

If anyone is curious, I am no longer pursuing the purchase of a Fiero. I've decided to leave the treasures to the enthusiasts. My time in the car was more than respectable, and I've no regrets (besides hitting a wall of dirt and totaling my car at only 20 mph) in the 2500 miles I put on it. However, I am a teenager, prone to making more mistakes. A car like the Fiero is little more than a deathtrap for the inexperienced driver. I sure do wish I could have had the car long enough for RFTH this year. What you guys have here is something special. Anyway, I believe a Fiero owner interested in reconstructing a GT model will find this car especially useful.

My price is best offer. I need the car out of my garage, so taking the entire thing is preferable to pulling parts. I'll have pictures of the car when I can get them. Some of you have read my thread about my wreck, others may have not, but it gave some initial insight into the condition of the vehicle. As soon as I have a camera that can take the pictures I need they'll be here.

General Fiero Discussion / W'rectum?

I danged near... well you know.

It was raining last night and some fool had his hi-beams on in the opposite lane... I was blinded, I missed a turn and hit a mailbox along with some cinderblocks doing about 25 mph.

I went to the Fiero Club meeting back in July, and I was pleased with the reception I got and I felt very encouraged to join. However, the car began acting up many a time between then and now (drive belt, tensioner, battery, cooling fan, headlights, muffler aaaand oil pan) and I spent my time working on it instead. And just went I got her into pristine running condition this last week, tragedy struck.

On the passenger side, the door panel and possibly some mechanics underneath operating the auto windows are damaged. The frame on the door may also be misaligned. The front end of the car is torn to bits. The radiator seems to have taken minor damage, but the condition of everything else under the hood is yet to be determined. The hood itself is also damaged, unable to be lifted, and the roof panel, windshield, and of course the front bumper and the passenger side panel that goes over the tire well are all pattywhacked. A lot of plastic to be replaced. However, the back of the car is completely unharmed, aside from the damage from a cinderblock wedged into the air scoop panel on the driver side (and the corresponding GT trim running along the panel and the door) that also ties in with the rest of the replacements I need.

Basically I took a lot of body damage, but if all looks well under the hood and the frame is unharmed, the car will live on.

February 28th is my birthday. As a present to myself I intend to work and pour my paychecks into my savings account and, depending on how much I have by then, either get the car completely repaired and add a few accessories here and there (scoops, custom hood, paint job, rims, speaker system) or go all out and get a body kit for it.

It's a gold '87 GT. I'll post up some pictures of it (both pre-crash and post-crash) when I can. I'd love to hear some recommendations on accessories of kits (A Ferrari kit would be great. 5 grand by February will be a tough mark, though. I got 600 $676 now. :P)

P.S. if anyone, by chance, has considered selling a cheap donor car, let me know.
