Welcome aboard!

To post pictures, just take the link to the image and surround it with [img]and[/img].... If you click on the Img link over the box you're typing in, you can just paste where it puts the cursor.

WELCOME to the obsession.
There are those among us that say " If there are no pictures, it didn't happen.

Hello and welcome to the forum, Fiero world & beginning of your insanity :mrgreen: These cars can get addictive.

My first fiero was an 84 2.5L 4spd, fun car to drive. I've since bought & sold a few more and playing with two 87's right now. I go out in Whitby to work on mine, might see you around. Heading there tomorrow.

Sorry but our forum doesn't have photo hosting capabilities, third party is needed to post pictures up and then link them to the forum. Most sites have simple instruction how to do this. Just remember size takes up space on your photo hosting account and on the forum (uploading to view) Most sites will let you set it up to resize photos if they are really large size.

You got the Fiero for a good price, but did you have anyone there to show you where to look on these car? The body may not rust, but the chassis underneath it will.

Please tell more about your Fiero. 8-)

Thanks guys :)

I did the math (loosely)

Just under 350k Fiero's produced in the 5 year span..

5 years, give or take accidents, junk yard'd, would leaves us with roughly... 200,000 (or less) Fiero's on the road today, worldwide!

a RARE gem indeed.

I believe I now understand the fundamentals of the image hosting.

x-thumpr-x, If I am not mistaken, I usually drive around townline, and given your Fiero in the signature that matches the Fiero I see parked(not anymore) just at end of Olive up the hill... That must be you? :mrgreen:

Not me, I used to live around Harmony & HWY 2 at one point in time, but thats before I owned a Fiero. I've been living in Scarborough the past 14 years now, but out frequently in the shwa, for family, firends & fieros. :mrgreen:

I have pictures on my cellular device which I will add, of the engine, interior.

There is one picture I will post if you, or other comrades would like to take a look at. its underneath the air box and seems rusted out a metal tube, to me anyway it doesn't seem to affect the the Fiero in any way/

Oh man, I did the exact same thing with the 4 speed on mine. I bought the car then followed the previous owner to the local MTO office to get the temp plates...kept putting the damn thing in third instead of first and of course there were hills to negotiate. Him and my ride were both laughing their butts off.

Welcome to the forum and have fun.

Rusted out metal tube by the air box sounds like leftovers from the recall. If that's the case, it's of no consequence, it was cheaper for GM to leave it there.

Another warm welcome! From me anyway. LOL. It's great to hear all the stories of how one obtained their desire to own one of these cool little sports cars from the 80's. Keep us posted, with pictures. Everyone likes pictures!
