Subject: May 15th Fiero Dismantle Day, Fiberglassing Nose work with Car2Lo, several V8's and a 3800S/C Choptop Fiero on Display 8am at my place, address is below. Ok May 15th at 8am all the fun begins. @ 16908 104th Ave Surrey, BC Wayne will be driving his 86 4cyl 5spd here to my house for its final resting place. We will be dismantling the car right down to the last nut and bolt, every trim, every suspension part, engine, you name it will be removed. Air tools will be here, a Plasma cutter thanks to Dr.Fiero will be here. (HANDS OFF FOR HIS USE ONLY, is his major request) I'll have an open garage to let people use tools. However PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR TOOLS SEPARATE, I can't be losing tools by accident every time we do a tech session. Car2Lo will be here on Saturday at 9am during the stripping Party, and will be doing many final touches to the nose on my 857GT V8 Cadero Fiero. Now I think we really need to publicize this event as a HUGE deal. Even invite the Washington and the Island guys. We are Stripping a Fiero from start to finish now if you don't think that is reason enough look at this bonus features. John aka Car2Lo will be doing the final touches to the body work and Fiberglassing of my Project 857 Fiero GT V8, Now heck even if you don't want to get your hands dirty, there will be some great things to see, People can see not only a 4.9 V8 Fiero 5spd, and Chevrolet V8 5spd and hopefully a 3800S/C V6 5spd Choptop Fiero all in the same place, my gawd what else could you ask for.... This will be one HUGE DAY. Address is 16908 104ave Surrey B.C. V4N 4N2 cell 604-807-2623 email capt@captfiero.com if you don't get a response email myphone@captfiero.com and I should get back to you in 24hrs. Work will start at 8am and work till dusk. We may even order in a Pizza or 4 depending on how many people show up. I suspect this is going to be a huge event. We can also add in some tech time, if people so choose to bring their cars to do some work and want to pick the brains of some of the more knowledgeable members. This is going to be a FULL DAY EVENT. |

Just some suggestions and comments....
There's a few of us in attendance that have stripped several of these cars (countless?), and know them really well. There's almost no reason that anything need get broken during removal. If you're not sure how something comes off, or in what order - PLEASE ASK one of us! Sometimes just taking 2 min's extra time to take something off can save headaches later. If you have a 19L pail (usual round bucket thing), bring one along! I'd like to see all the fasteners, clips, etc coming off getting saved (I've got a fairly well sorted collection - hence why people have asked for "X" bolt before and I can hand you one!), and also not ending up on Daves driveway, ready to puncture a tire (big point!). Remember your spare battery & charger if you've got power tools to speed things along. Assuming the weather dept isn't wrong as usual... Saturday is shaping up to be a great day in the high teens, low 20's. From past experiences - bring a hat, and some water! We've had many a brain boiled lobster walk away from these events. ![]() |

There isn't much left to be honest. Other than the hood, rocker panels and door skins, all other body panels are available. Rear glass, stripped motor, trunk carpet, computer, most wiring are available. Not sure about the rack and pinion. I'm sure I've missed something. So if there is anyone needing an item just ask. Also, the individuals who have these items may be persuaded to sell them, if the need is great. And yes.....remember Dave's spring.....remember Dave's spring......remember Dave's spring DG

ARGH! Just looked at the forecast - Friday will be awesome - But in typical lower mainland fashion, it's supposed to cloud over and get chilly for the weekend.
Still no mention of rain though, so that's good. |

Well, it's almost 9:00 now. If it's not there, it's probably not going to be. I was sure that was the plan though.
Rob and I are going to be at your house close to 8:30 getting set up anyhow. Rob can make a phone call when we get to your house if the car isn't there yet. I'm loading up the truck with tools soon so I'm ready to go in the morning. See everyone there! DG |

Looks like the earliest people won't be here until 8:30 so
no rush for 8am. My cell is 604-807-2623 and the house line is 604-584-7717 give me a call when you leave your place and a let me know a rough ETA. Lisa and I did a mad dash tidy on the garage and moved several cars around tonight. If for some odd reason you can't get me on either of the above numbers Lisa's cell is 604-897-1465 See ya in the morning. |

WOW!!! What a great day! Thanks to all for letting us hang out and lend a
hand where needed. My little gearhead Emily is already asking when we get to fix cars again lol. It was a little sad to see my lil friend decommissioned but Im very glad the parts will go to help keep others on the road. I'm hoping to have Fiero the Second soon and hope you-all can put up with me & my GTP until then :) |

Well guys and gals, it was one hell of a fun day, I think
everyone has got sun stroke and exhausted from the day. I'll try to get at least a few pics posted tonight, I had a blast taking the car for a buzz around with no roof, no windshield, no doors, no hood, no fenders, no rear deck lid, no dash, no speedo, car was pretty light after all that stuff was removed. I know a few people got vids and I can't wait to see them. |

I am uploading about 1000 files now, 376 assorted pics. You can sort through the good ones and post them up. I figure you can find at least a few that are good enough to re-post the full size image. (p.s, you can click any pic in the bluely gallery to see the larger version. They are all 1280x1024

There SEEMS to be a large disparity between views on #1 and #2.
On the chance you missed the "Go To #2" link at the end, you can go there direct from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8icC3g_hG8 And if you didn't - please go back and click the "Like" button! |
