Penitrating oil and heat are going to be your best friends on an old car. Good video.

[@MichaelAllenNightmareChild]

Excellent. Now please come to West TN and get my '87 going. Sitting in my barn since 2008 😔

[@policenineplayz1724]

dont tempt me i think my mom would flip if i got a third fiero

[@overlordisgoogle8431]

Good improvements!

[@TheRjberner46]

With E brake; just pull up and it will engage. Then put the handle down. To disengage pull up and push the button in then let down.

[@michaelmeanswell]

Correct.

[@FieroKyle]

Looks like you’re doing a lot of great work!

[@scottcampbell1768]

You’re making great progress! I just picked up an 88GT that needs some love so I’ll be following closely to see what you do.

[@sa58saved46]

cant wait too see more videos thanks for the upload!

The ground attached to the battery tray goes to the negative battery cable. Just dealt with that on my car recently.

Awesome Job!

Try changing your tach filter, that might fix the tachometer.

[@JuryRigGarage]

I checked for the tach filter in the stock location and mine is missing. I don’t even see the 2 wires it connects to

[@Geoffwhite18]

Your ebrake looks like it works. You only push the button to release the parking brake. Just pull it up to set it and let it fall back down.

[@JuryRigGarage]

I had it wrong in the video but it doesn’t work. No “click” when I pull it up and it doesn’t actually hold the brake

[@rusty81588]

Wow! Huge shout out for the link at DFKitCar ! They are only about an hour from me. I'll definitely be hitting them up 😁

Your replacement non-OEM slave cylinder line makes two 360 degree loops. I suspect there's a ton of air in there that's going to be nearly impossible to bleed out. Get a OEM line. It should just go right up to it without any loops to trap air.

looks like 2.8 im guessing there fast little motors not sure wy they didnt keep them around my buddy had think it was like a early 90s z24 cavalier 5 speed stick other friend had 1990 sse Bonneville 3.8 and another friend had think it was 1982 impala square body 350 cop car we line up at a red light on 3 lane one way and the 2.8 cavalier smoked the bonniville and impala cop car lol

I think the car was a 4 cylinder swapped to a v6, and GT body panels. Is the cooling blower motor or the mounts for it on the passenger side trunk. check on the passenger side trunk. I think your cables could need an adjustment. Once you get it to shift good change the trans fluild with some good gm syncro mesh.

[@jeremyvalkenburg5853]

That would have been a lot of work. The guage cluster is for a V6. Shame that the factory premium stereo was removed. You can see the slide switch for the subwoofer on the dome light panel. The subwoofer is located under the dash on the passenger side,

Where’s the other guy? Tristan?

[@JuryRigGarage]

He was out of town when I filmed this

[@diln85]
