Thread purged of losers' nonsense... Really Shaun, grow up and get a life. There are much better things to do than to hound Archie. Go outside and enjoy the weather. I'll keep banning you every time you show up. I still got lots of bans left in my hammer. Archie, send me a PM if he posts in here again, I'll clean it up and ban him again no problem.

Thank You.

I'd like to apologize to the Forum for the Fiero Trolls. It's unfortunate that people who hate must go out of their way to ruin a thread that was a simple, fun build thread until they showed up.

Back in Feb. 1999 I posted a message on one of the Fiero mailing lists that I was looking to hire some help in my shop.

This Shaun applied for that job & was turned down.

He's been stalking me ever since. He's 30 years old & has wasted the last 9 years of his life with his obsession.

So, I do apologize.

Now back to the build.

Archie

Right now, we're just waiting for the paint job being completed.

Then the reassembly begins.

I saw this thread and I knew Archie had to be involved!

For the record, Archie helped me a do a V8 Fiero about 8 years ago. The parts were top quality and the support was outstanding. The only thing I regret is not keeping the car longer, as I got tired of chewing up TH-125c's!

The other panels are getting a little detailing so they are not back on the car yet. Still a bit of work to do, yet...

Everytime I turn around I'm being run off to get new fasteners, bolts, nuts, brake line clips & the like. It seems like Rob & Kris don't want to put anything together without refurbing or replacing everything.

We've also put the engine back in so that we can finish with the metal shields. Once we get everything figured out in the engine compartment, we'll remove the engine assembly one last time so that the metal shields can painted & finished.

There's so much to do that we've been pretty much bouncing around on putting things together, not letting any one thing hold us up.

Here's some pics.
