I'm in the middle of stripping down my Fiero and plan to have it gone in the next few days. It is an '87 2.5L 5spd - Ran very good. I do not plan to remove the engine or transmission. If anyone wants to tackle pulling them out they are more then welcome to have either. The frame is also available if anyone needs it (or parts of it). I just need to know asap should anyone want anything. |

Curious - if the engine, trans and frame are good.... why are you killing it off? |

Basically it was a project that I just lost interest in over the years. In its uncompleted state it is worth more in parts then it is together. I posted a few months back ( http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2067 - Here - pictures of how it was then ) when i was agonizing over what to do with it. |

Ahhh yes, I recall the thread now (since I posted in it!). So what's left? I take it the interior is no longer there. Is it a running chassis? |

Not exactly. I'm basically stripping it right down to nothing (other then the motor/tranny - as I really dont have the ability to remove them). Its more or less gutted right now. Im still taking parts off right now. Will be another day or so untill I'm done. Posting some of them up for sale as I go http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2307 - HERE . I would really like to see as much of it go to use as possible. So if I cant get the transmission or engine out to sell, then someone who wants it can have it free if they remove it. |

Just about time for the car to go. I know there is not much left, but still some good things someone might need. I have decided not to bother removing much more off of the car (still removing dog bone, few odds and ends for fastback) So most of what is seen in the pictures here is available for free if someone wants to come remove it.       |

It's an ending of an era for me. I have not been Fieroless for 15 years now. I have had an 84,85,86 and this 87 (all 2.5). This 87 was my favorite. It ran so quite and smooth, plus never gave any problems. Sad to see it go. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l87/Caladin/Misc/IMG_1279.jpg">   |
