Wrecked my T/A and still trade 4 a fiero?
The title says it all............Havent posted in about 20 days or so cuz a stint in the county hotel.......dont ask, I got caught.....so I wrecked my TA .....Not that bad, just body work on the front fender that I already did, and if the rattle can spraypaint matched better you wouldnt even know that I ran it off the road (it was raining and I was having some fun P-sliding on a country road, dammit can U say DITCH!!!!!) but spare me the lectures, and just give me an honest.....the guy that towed me is willing to trade straight up even an 87 Fiero (black) 5spd 4 banger (tech 4?).....Deal or no deal? my car WILL NOT PASS VA INSPECTION due to rotted suspention and steering, as well as a recently cracked windshield...the fiero has a brand new inspecttion and I here that V8 swaps make those things BEAST!!!
What would you do?????? I can pick up another Fbody for less than a grand....... but Ive got a 5spd and those seem pretty rare...... I AM SO TORN HHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!

Is it a Fiero GT? If so, do it, and pick up a thirdgen project... Sounds like yours needs a TON of work.

The 5spd in the Fiero is a piece of crap. The 2.5 is the standard Iron Duke, same as an S10 or early Camaro. The later 2.5s run a bit better, but they're still anything but performance cars. Any Trans Am is three times the car as a 4cyl Fiero. Depending on how trashed your T/A may be, it might be a fair trade, but that's up to you.
The kit to put a V8 in a Fiero will cost more then both of the cars combined. The result is a riot when it's done properly, but it's not exactly easy to do easily.
