Could you tell where the fire started?  Frurl? Electrickity? Or was it a voodoo hex put upon us by the jealous Beemer club?

I couldn't.  Everything in the bay was pretty much equally consumed.  Battery was melted, air intake and evap canister melted, distributor cap melted, MAP and egr solenoid melted.  Trans dipstick and the shield it passes through had minimal damage.  It may have started toward the front, like from leaves on the manifold or the rebreather tube out of the valve cover.

I didn't forget. I just mentioned the major components. All that other "melty stuff" is pretty much "a given".
Nickel-and-dime you to death.

True.  I'm hoping that, going into the future, the posts on this forum will help others, and may encourage more people to join the club.  Since I don't have any local Fiero people, sometimes I find it difficult to even know what I don't know.  Online, it's often difficult to get answers.

Sad as this is, I'd really like to see more pictures of the engine bay.  Maybe the cradle isn't damaged.

Too bad about the spoiler gaskets, but that's a reasonable price.

Based upon what I've seen, I'd really be surprised if the cradle is damaged. I can't imagine anything flammable that would be situated anywhere near the cradle.
The typical Fiero "engine fire" scenario occurred when the (4 cylinder) rods flew out the front of the block, and all the vital fluids leaked out all over the catalytic converter. But this is a V6, that was running until it was parked.
Unless a fuel line ruptured, and sprayed gas all over something very hot (like the exhaust system) I'm thinking that the fire was up higher in the compartment. Maybe an electrical short, to the positive battery cable. Or leaves on the manifold, as was mentioned.
Just thinking out loud, really...  Anybody's guess.

I should buy this...
Anyone want to pick it up & bring it to me for a reasonable fee? Would $100 cover it?

Paul, if you buy it, I'll bring it to you.  Johnny Palmer is the owner of the shop.  I talked to the woman in the office and she's the one who gave me the price for the club or a member of the club.  770.207.9570

I've got the "extension ramps" for the dolly, if you need them. Ron dropped them off here, yesterday.

I have some short ones that will work.  They wanted to pick it up with a forklift to put it on the dolly.  No keys to get it out of park.  Fortunately I have a set of keys.

How do they not have keys, and you do?

They bought it at an insurance auction.  I always keep a set of keys on any car transferred if not paid in full.  Our agreement with Barry was that he had to keep it for 2 years.  He was only about a month shy.

Just an observation.
