Well - here goes nothing. I'm gonna be honest, I bought this 1985 Pontiac Fiero with about 83,431 miles on it for $675.00. It wasn't my first choice in Fieros, but it was close, and priced right. Especially since the motor and transmission are coming out of the car in favor of newer components.

In case you're wondering what a Fiero looks like, well, here it is the day I bought it:

Not bad for an '85. No rust, good condition, I drove it home that day. It's got a 2.5 liter, 95 horsepower 4-cylinder motor with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The motor in question is still in the car, and here it is:

It's got a few issues. The transmission's shot. Previous owner didn't take very good care of it. There's no headliner. When I got it, the speedometer was shot, but that has since been replaced. The radio head unit doesn't work, but when I hooked up the speaker units to my laptop via a wire converter thing, the audio came out crystal clear, and even better than my previous car. It's got speakers in the headrests, which are nice. The car has one step up on my old Monte Carlo. The air conditioning works. But, the manual mirror joystick is somewhat broken, as you can see here:

The cigarette lighter doesn't work, and the car hasn't been smoked in from what I can tell. (I did auto detailing for two years prior to owning this car.) I have to reconnect it eventually and figure out how to mount it back to the center console.

But other than that, the car's in great condition as you can see here:

And I'll tell you what, for right now, my favorite part about the car is the Pegasus. The hood emblem, shown here:

For right now, it's not much. Plans have changed dramatically. Got the car working as a daily for a while. Had to rebuild the transmission. Previous owner even managed to stretch the damn chain. Don't... ask. Anyway - I've got a bunch of parts, and what I'm modifying it to shall remain somewhat secretive 'til its done.

Thanks. Things have changed a bit, but it's working out slowly. Gotta update my second page yet with the new details, and hopefully updated pictures.
