TurboNova Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Sorry for delay. This car has not been out of garage for a long time so no one has probably seen it the only time it has been out is for test runs down the street to tune but should make it out this weekend if weather is nice here are some pics from photobucket http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/Picture016.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/Picture015.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/Picture023.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/Picture025.jpg these pics are about a month old so there are some changes. but you can get the just.

TurboNova Posted May 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 THANKS. I have owned it for 6yrs now I am second owner. Before I gutted it for the v8 buid up I had a pretty trick 3.1 in it and about 3 years ago it stopped being a daily driver so I could afford some serious down time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan900 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Nice car. I helped a friend put heads on the v6 that comes in those. I can only imagine how hard a v8 is to work on in that. I hope to see it out sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Harris92 Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Very nice I bet that car pulls very well, bigger displacement, and low weight is the win. Nice car man, oh and welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 thanks for all the compliments. mark I only know of one other v8 fiero within 100 miles of here I am glad to hear someone else had one. and yes wheels suck they are small and of course the tires create no traction that is the next thing on list is some wheels and stickys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
