End of the road for my 2M4 :(

Hello all

I have an 86 2M4 240KM all original from one elderly owner before me.
What I unfortunately failed to consider was that the elderly owner lived in
Ontario for many years and my lil Fiero has an advanced case of rust and I
don't think it's all that safe to drive anymore, not to mention beyond my
skills to repair
It is an all original survivor though and before I send it off to the scrapper
I thought I'd offer it up to the general membership as a donor car for
parts or to try to restore, it has an iron duke that refuses to die, a 5spd
Isuzu that shifts very nicely, and all original interior bits etc.
I don't have room to part it out so you'd have to take the whole thing (it is
driveable) but like I say I'd rather see it go to help other Fieros keep going
than just be crushed.
I'm thinking $200 is a fair price, about what I'd get from one of those cash
for cars guys so PM me or shoot me an email at whansen70@gmail.com if
you're interested.
Although I've lost my lil friend I guess Im still a cousin as my wife decided
(with no help from me) that a good family car would be a 2000 Grand Prix
GTP - it's a BC car with no accidents and NO rust!

** Forgot to mention I have the Haynes and Factory service books I'll
throw in as well

I would love the interior.. But I don't have a place for the car but willing
to go in on the cost

Dang it, I would've been interested in the cables (specifically the select cable). Mine snapped on the '84 that I swapped over to an Isuzu 5-speed.

 

Ugh - well, that rules my place out as a 'strip club'.  I probably won't have room here for another month at best.

Only other thing I could think of, would be to have a 'team' show up here, and we do a FAST strip and haul-away in the driveway (we did this once about 7 or 8 years ago).  Time lapse video to prove it!

I'd have to pre-arrange the guy to haul the hulk away, it'd have to be a clear day out (just not into working in the rain!) - and probably need to have the starts in alignment with something-or-another.

If nothing - it could make an awesome 'tech day' type thing for anyone wanting to see a car get stripped.  There's a few of us who've done it so many times that there's very little mystery as to how certain portions come apart (unlike that time 7-8 years ago!!!!).

I have also re-uploaded the photo clips from that day to here, http://captfiero.com/stripping/  can you guys belive this was back in 2002 nearly 10 years ago.  WOW how time flies.

if i can find the time i will join in just for the fun of it

Is this thing still movable/licensed/insured/etc?

If not - we have to factor in $75-100 getting it hauled over here. And considering the few parts that may get pulled.... ummmm....

We "should" be getting into a drying/warming trend anytime soon now.  Long range forecast is saying 15/16C for the weekend (after we get flooded again for the week!).  So - next couple weeks could be a good to go thing.

Hi, don't know how far along this has gotten but I could come out with the tools that i have and help . If the Capt would allow me the tires and rims, mine are crap.  I also need any interior bits(if grey) and I'd take the calipers, discs, stuff for my 2.5 and I'd donate 150$ and up.

Is it possible  possible to take the windscreen off?

Can I suggest that the people that show up and help remove parts take what they want and whatever is left will be listed for sale.

The reason I'm mentioning it is that we could use the same tail lights depending on the condition.

Not to put Ken on the spot or anything.....:)
