Iron Duke 2.5 Engine Assembly Part 2 - Gen Z Garage - Ep 21

[@MichaelKelly-eg6jo]

AJ, glad to see you're back at work on the Fiero. I can't wait to see the finished product. Sadly, the time has come to say goodbye to my own beloved '84. It's a black SE with low miles. You can see it on Hemmings. So far, no serious offers. I'd be great to show it to you if you and your dad ever travel to Ohio. Good luck.

Nice to see that you're still working on the Fiero.

I always look forward to these videos; they're informative and easy to follow.

Heck yeah! Keep up the hard work. My daughter is 4 and just now old enough to really start to understand what I teach her in the workshop. 👍🏼

[@andrea-rx7pi]

Can’t wait to see you driving it !!

lil safety tip. direct the spring compressor so the spring is not aiming at your safety squints. I had a spring rocket out of one 50ft away from me across the shop. other than that solid work kid

This girl is GOOD VERY GOOD and smart.. If she can rebuild an engine she is capable of anything technical.

Send this video in to Motortrend TV and ask if they would like to feature her on a series of young car enthusiasts. Most of the gearheads we see on that channel are fat old guys. The channel could use a change.

this thing is gonna run 9s easy

[@Todd82TA]

Hahah, yeah... in the 0-60. She loves the car and wants to keep it stock, but said that once she gets her real driver's license and finishes this car, she wants to work on a Fiero that has a bit more horsepower. So I promised her we'd build out a stripped race-only Fiero. Basically, we'd get an 87-88 Coupe, drop in a 4-Speed, and a V6, try to keep it within a specific class, and then gut the car minus the dash and door panels. We'll take something that's fairly weathered, and then she can use it at SCCA events.

Ford grey???

[@Todd82TA]

Originally she wanted hot pink, and I told her no. So she opted for Ford Gray as it seemed mostly stock, but still allowed you to "see" the engine detail when you actually looked at it. She didn't want black because then the engine basically becomes a "void" to which you can't really see anything. With the gray, the motor is still visible, and the upside is you can actually see some leaks if any start occurring.

Working on a historical piece of crap like this is not bragworthy. A Porsche 924 would have been more legit.
