Ok I have been sitting on an 85SE in my driveway so long my butts getting tired.

   The car is about 80% stripped. However their are still a few things that people could use.

Basically I took all the good stuff to try and resurrect my 85GT. I grabbed the body panels, doors, engine/trans. Most of the interior is gone.

Exterior wise, the black roof panel is there. I might save that before it gets crushed, but if someone else needs it, its free.

Most of the front suspension is there. I removed the rack to save it. However springs, control arms, ball joints and such are all still there.

The driver seat is there, the floor carpets are there, the seat belts are there, there are a ton of GM weather pack plugs and light harnesses around the car. The semi busted tilt steering columb is there, and is very tight. It will need a new lock and cover installed.
The best part about it is, ITS FREE.

With a fleet of Fiero's now being used as daily drivers in our house and extended Family I had to save the most common parts so they can be put into stock for fixing our cars.   

The car is leaving no later than this Sunday. So if you want to browse the parts, bring wire snips and tools. Its a free for all before it goes to the crusher.


On a P.S. Note Lisa has found a storage location for Fiero Parts. Its not cheap, but at least its pretty spacious. $1000 per year, however its big enough to store enough parts that we could dismantle 3 parts cars and still have room left over. Its got an upstairs and downstairs to the unit which is kinda nice.

We plan to store body panels, wheels, Tires, Boxes of Sorted switches, sorted engine electronics and harnesses.

The offer will be open to people that want a place to put "long term" storage on things. IE an engine or 2, winter rims and tires. Prices will be set depending on how much you want to store.

Marcel: Front rotors are already donated to the club grand am thread. The sway bar I was going to keep, but if you come and take the rest of the stuff, you can have the sway bar. (The rest being, upper and lower control arms, springs, cross member and related parts) Minus the rack as previously stated I need it for my 85GT.

Car-2-Lo the engine and Trans is on the cradle at this point. However if you want it and are prepared to help move it around, its yours.

   I would prefer at as quick, as possible, however because it is already pulled it is not in risk of being tossed.

The rest of the parts DO need to go before this weekend. So people will need to be here by Saturday.

Yep it is still there. The antenna is gone, however the wire and base are still there.

You can have it, however you must pick it up before the end of this weekend.

I DO NOT SHIP!!!!!

My address is 16908 104th Ave. Surrey B.C. V4N 4N2

Call my cell before you come 604-807-2623 call or text. I am in and out of my place a lot so always call or text first.

As I said, the car is being hauled away for scrape after this weekend, so you must come and get it.

Canadian Tire sells replacement antennas that look exact the same as the Fiero stock one, and they are only asking like 10 bucks. So if you want stock, that is your best bet.

Not really
But it is an 85 so it has the speakers in the headrest. Get it recovered or use it as a good excuse to by Mr. Mikes. The seat is free so come and haul it away.

   Thank You to everybody that helped with this venture. It was sad to see a nice car get stripped but she is now gone.


This is what it started as. It had a blown clutch or transaxle. Were really not sure. But being an 85SE regardless of the fact it had an 85GT body on it. There was just enough value in it to justify saving it. The parts from this car are being used to save about a dozen other Fiero's that might have ended up being scrapped. As well as helped many members do some crazy mods. Like the rear clip is the basis for Clynts wide body and lots of people are doing things with parts from this car. The motor is being saved for when either Lisa or I blow up our 2.8's.   Before anyone asks, yes the NOS switch's, lines and wiring were all saved as the car DID have nitrous on it. Solenoids were stolen when the car was stolen though. :( however I already have replacements on my shelf.















And this is what was left over when it was all said and done.

Always a sad day to see one of your own leave the nest. Just remember she went out as a trooper sacrificing herself for the betterment of others. 

Did you ever use the nos in the car? How did the 2.8 handle it?
I wanna go fast.

The previous owner did use the Nitrous in the car I have ran Nitrous on my 85GT. Its a great power adder, and really wakes a V6 up. If you are smart enough to put on a reasonable shot and leave it, then it is great. Make sure you have RPM Window switches in place that won't let the nitrous turn on until at least 2000rpms and will shut it off at 5000rpms. Then make sure that you shift at least 500rpms above the turn off point.

    I ran several bottles of nitrous through my 2.9 (bored out 2.8) It wasn't till I took it out to the highway, downshifted to 3rd gear and punched then grabbed 4th gear and punched with the nitrous running Wide Open. I pulled clean past 6000rpms in a 4spd. However I ran the nitrous for such an extended period of time I melted a piston.   

Thats when I decided to toss the V6 and drop in a V8. (well actually I did run one more 2.8 for a short time, then put the V8 in. However I did not use the nitrous on the next V6) Its kinda like a drug, you want more and more and more, until you end up damaging something.
