The previous owner of my house already ran a gas line from the house to the garage so I just picked this up off craigslist a while back for around $80 and it works good. Older than shit but in an hour it will go from 30 to 55. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/garage/heater-1.jpg

My dad passed away 3 years ago. It wasn't a quick process either. He had Parkinsons and slowly deteriorated for 10 years. That was the hardest part. Then one day he stood up out of his chair at home and either had a stroke or whatever but passed out, smacked his forehead on the hardwood floor, had bleeding on the brain/stroke Wasn't sure if the fall caused it or it happened before. He recovered but was really never able to speak, have any emotion, anything. We all just slowly saw him die. By the end of the 9 months of him being in either hospitals, assisted living, I had emotion but I already prepared myself and knew it was going to come sooner or later. It's life, it sucks, and eventually you move on.

Yep. Worked perfectly fine.

Welp. It's been sitting since the last time I posted here. The trans is now stuck in 3rd gear while in Drive or D3. If I put it in 2nd gear I can have 2nd but it won't see 1st or 4th gear. Been through everything. About to burn the piece of shit and trash it. This is beyond frustrating. There are no codes being thrown and I've verified every piece of wiring I can. I just don't know at this point. I need someone who's good with wiring and/or this trans to help me get it done. I've ohmed the trans harness for the shift solenoid and I get a solid 22 ohms. The issue is that the 1-2 shift solenoid is stuck open? I can take the pin out of the PCM and ground it and can hear the solenoid click inside the trans. I just dropped the pan and replaced the fluid/filter and it's still the same. The trans has about 1k on the rebuild and replaced all the solenoids too. Blah!

Jump into the Gorilla exhibit at the Columbus Zoo and take a selfie with it?

I bet one of the trans cooler lines failed. That's what happened on my Regal.

Should just need the plug extension for MAP to work. Is he just swapping the motor or both motor and trans? I'm not sure if the gearing is right or not between the two. I don't much experience with 04+ 3800's.. I'd check out grandprixforums.net .

I thought the Saviors were Negans group? Maybe you're thinking of the Hilltop peeps?

heh. I found my thread from 2006. Mind you this was when smart phones weren't around (or they were but we didn't have any). http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30319&highlight=plymouth

Yes. Several. Stay away from Plymouth Rock cabins. turrrrrible.

So if you're girlfriend Hillary wins the presidency you're moving out of the country? :gabe::dumb:

Somehow this is who I thought of when that happened. http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq6/Yngwiedoughnuts/strangestcharacters-sloth-goonies-590x350.jpg

I just got mine back in Aprilish when I got tags for the Fiero. Only sent me one. I called the DMV and they said personalized collector tags only get one. Maybe someone else has the plate/name on theirs?

Personalized collector plates...:dumb:

Well it's in and it actually runs!

Trade for a 87 Fiero that doesn't run?

My son works at the Sears at Polaris if you wanted to try them.

Is the paint actually that bad or do you think a high end detail might fix it? Might be cheaper to pay $500 in a massive overhaul/paint correction/detail than to have it re-painted. I had my bumper and hood repainted on my Regal a few years back. This past year and last year I noticed a LOTT more paint chips on the hood than the previous 10 years the stock paint had. I'm assuming the paint Clifford used is a softer? paint and more prone to chipping.

for everyone who said Trump won the debate last night... http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/27/politics/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-debate-poll/index.html

Got the header vband flange welded on and wrapped the rest of the headers. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160924_165659_zpsrw271zhy.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160924_165709_zpspatrwiwk.jpg Got the tank dropped and replaced the pump with a Walbro 255. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160924_165406_zpsx2omfryl.jpg It is odd being able to sit on a creeper in the middle of where your engine goes. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160925_120739_zpsmphbr08b.jpg I'm hoping to have the subframe dropped in and possibly having it started on Saturday or Sunday. We'll see about that one.

Eric Grimes did the porting on my heads/sc/Lower intake manifold. He did a lot of work for LT1Rick on here. He's down off by Groveport Rd.

Well being sick the last week and a half sucked the life out of me. Haven't done much. Wrapped the headers, sorta fixed the cross over and now I need to have someone weld a vband flange onto it. Also loomed up some of the harness. Got the correct axle for the passenger side. Surprisingly enough a manual fiero axle from the drivers side works perfect in the trans on the passenger side. Also cut out the trunk for the headers/muffler. The one main thing left to do is drop the fuel tank and change the fuel pump. I should have enough energy to do that on Saturday. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160919_190406_zpsofymx9n6.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160921_175135_zps34kjxjnz.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160921_175157_zpsv3pjrgdl.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160921_175349_zpsuzs25v5e.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160921_175408_zpsdsnxqxfm.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160921_192415_zpspsaedayv.jpg http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk314/buck531/Fiero/20160921_192428_zpskm82qnfz.jpg
