New Project 86 Notchback

So I got a call a few weeks ago from a person with a Fiero they needed to let go of.  Car is in overall great shape.  It has Nearly Brand New Touring Tires on 15" Lace Wheels, a freshly rebuilt 5spd Trans Axle. New Clutch, and loads of new parts.  A decent Stereo, very clean interior, dual exhaust clean title. Only one issue with the car, well 2 actually. It needs a water pump.  He was in the process of doing the pump and injured his back and can no longer finish the car.  He has several other cars on the car including a really neat 1930 Hup Mobile (sp), an 86 Corvette with Collector plates and gasp a fleet of Prius's. So the Fiero had to go.  I had originally, said I was not interested, until he sent me the photos and I realized the car was too nice to send to the crusher.  It had a LeBra on the front, which I removed to inspect the nose.  Hence the odd line on the side of the nose. 

I am going to fix up the Water Pump, un stick the brakes on it and do whatever needs to be done parts/labour wise to make it a nice clean commuter car for someone then sell it.  I'll use the funds to then buy a new motor for my 4.9 Fiero and get it back on the road properly.

It even had a new Exhaust put on it shortly before it was parked due to the bad water pump.

From all external items the car appears to be an 86 2M6, a nice looking V6 car, until you pop the hood and see the Mighty Duke peering back at you.  Someone took the time to remove the valve cover and paint it red but everything else appears to be stock Duke.
