I paid $5000.00 for it, but it needed to have the engine rebuilt. The motor is out and disassembled and going to the machine shop today.

Just when pat thought he was safe.
I remember you saying that a GTO was in the future. Stock rebuild? I know it will be a show stopper someday.

This one came a lot cheaper then the GTO. Besides it'll be faster then the GTO in the quarter.
 The wife help me decide, get the Syclone now, because when we buy a new house, you're not getting anything else.  Looks like I'll have to go back to Iraq to get a GTO or Zr1.

This truck won't be a show truck at all. I purchased the truck to replace the GTI I use to autocross. I figure some suspension work and tires, it should be quite competitive in its class.

I did a some cleaning on the Sy today. Washed, clay barred, and applied a coat of wax. Also I moved the battery from under the front right fender, relocated it to the bed of the truck. Its still a 30-30 truck, 30 feet or 30 mph and it looks good.
Engine won't be ready until later this week, maybe it'll be road worthy by the end of the month.

Pat I didn't want to polish my hooptee, but I had to. You saw the first pics in the thread, I had to see what was under all that gunk and spider webs. I had to sit in it and make engine noises and turbo sounds.
It still didn't help, can't wait for the motor to be finished.

I think I need to show Korey the washing and waxing methods, so he can make money to get the Fiero running.
