Wow I haven't been on here in awhile either mainly because I've been busy with the gf,school and other projects.Anyway as some of you may or may not know the gold cars 2.8 blew a headgasket and destroyed the bearings in it but the block is fine and we think the crank is fine also.I also have a thread on PFF which is located here: http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/081791.html The 4spd out of the gold car went into my 86 SC so I have one running and driving right now . The 3.4 which was planned to go into the gold car will be installed into my black 86 GT. As for the gold car it has no motor/trans in it, the 2.8 is on the stand and will be getting rebuilt, I'm also buying a rebuilt 4spd from John in Asheboro. The gold car will be going back to stock but I intend to make improvements it will be getting pretty much all poly bushings,brake lines will be getting replaced,pretty much new suspension,new hoses,new paint,already got the wheels I want (the GT lace wheels) so one thing is done. I will try to post pics soon and update on here and PFF also.
lets see if I can upload some pics

Got alot accomplished today with the car today removed front bumper,hood,headlight assemblies,removed radiator,and there's probably some things i'm forgetting but the whole front end is almost pulled apart.Tomorrow we'll see about the rest of the front suspension.I also cleaned my building to make room for more Fiero goodies lol. I'll try to get pics soon!
(Moderators note: The engine went into the shop to be rebuilt around 11/22/10. By 12/14/10 he had the front clip back on and the rear suspension back together. Front was not done yet. Suspension was back together and car was sitting on it's wheels on 12/17/10)
