Apr 22 - Oil filter part came in!

But when I try to spin it on, it hits my oil pan!

It's always something.  :-|

Apr 21 - spotted an MP4

Had to go check it out.  Yeah, that's me, near the end.

Apr 20 - Shimmed bearing mount

I got the bearing mount for the intermediate shaft shimmed to where it is no longer in a bind.  I can turn the shaft by hand pretty smoothly now.  I did 2 washers up top and one washer down low to get the angle just right.  I'll trial fit it again before final torque for assembly once the transmission comes off once more and goes back on for the starter relocation.

Here's a couple of pics of the shaft and its mount.

I'll tidy up the plug wires one day.  When it gets closer to time for when it will matter.  :-)

Apr 19 - Front end welded up

I got my welding buddy over here to weld up the front end after market suspension pieces.  It was meant to be a bolt on application, but I figure no one is going to be swapping out this suspension once it's in anyway.  :-)

I will be posting up pics of that once the steering rack mounts are welded in.

I also handed off the bracket that mounts my bearing carrier for the intermediate shaft.  Its holes needed some horizontal space from their original vertical slots.  That same guy took it to work and hooked me up.  I now have that on the car but will be pulling it off for my starter mounting.  So next pics will show that bearing mount shimmed up and the steering bits took care of.

Apr 17 - tired of the rain

Hadn't gotten much of anything done since it has been cool and rainy all week.  Plus the regular income job raised its head back up again.

I did screw around with the mirror pods and took the flashing out from in between the spars on it.  tried to mount my intermediate shaft and it doesn't fit.  I've got an email out to Archie to see what's up with that.

Apr 13 - shaft is back

I went by the shop yesterday and picked up my intermediate shaft.  I had them pull the 3900 V6 mount off of the shaft/bearing assembly and move it over to the one for my V8.  I don't have my press here and could do other work while that was done.  Who am I kidding, I had to do taxes still.  :-)

Still awaiting the oil filter relocation part that was sent wrong initially.  Once that is here, a lot of updates will be coming quickly again.

Apr 9 - Motor, Trans mounts are welded in

For everyone who builds one of these or swaps a V8 and 6sp into their Fiero knows how big a milestone this one is.  So without a lot of detail, here it is, all 3 are in.

I also got the intermediate shaft over to a shop to move my bearing from the original G6 mount to the one for my LT1.  Will pick that up tomorrow.
