The Home Coming
It was sitting under a weeping willow tree for a few years.
The story was the fuel pump went out and it was parked . I Did not have much confidence it will ever run but looked like a good project for the winter and days off and did I mention it was FREE!
Just promised the guy I would rebuild it and not just junk it

Fiero's x 2
Just thinking today , How many people actually have two Fiero's sitting in their driveways .
The grey one is 84' 2M4 it was my first attempt but this is its good side. A tree fell on the drivers side front and took out the doghouse and bent the frame . Inside was trashed too Its was a total loss so it got junked . So that explains the name of this project Take 2

Well here's the Little Red Dragon
Washed it don't look bad sitting in the garage .
The wheels are off of the donor 2M4. The name is from the movie Old School but this is no Trans Am
so lets call it the Little Red Dragon
My goal first is to just get it running and on the road for now and work on it as I go .
I do want to completely restore it but my funding is limited by the CEO of the money ( The Wife)

Look it has roller blades
Ok but it is on rollers .
Got this idea from the Nascar shops .
It lets me turn it around in the garage with no help.
They were 8 bucks a piece on sale at Harbor Frieght . 1000 LBS rated
I know this is not what they are for but they work great.

Close Up Of The Rollers
They were on sale from Harbor Frieght for 7.99 each not uncommon I have seen them on sale several times. They do make a heavy duty version that 10 bucks or so more but for this little car their no need
I did add 2x4's on each end later . It helped the wheel stay on the platform without moving when a made a sharper turn or sideways motion. I also added a 1x8 board into the center . I was worried that the stock platform would spread out with the wheel in the middle . Don't know if it was needed just had some laying around so what the hell , It can't hurt
I will try get a new pic up soon .

The Inspection Begins
Did you ever see a microphone stand used this way ?
Funny looking but it actually works great Starting
some of the engine inspection
Very dirty and covered in oil below the valve covers.
Their was a common issue with leaking valve covers in the 4 cyl and later V6 Models Did not help with the engine fire thing for sure
