Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I worked really hard on this video and I'm pretty proud. Please enjoy it. Also hey I started a Patreon a while back but haven't really said anything about it. Since I upload so sporatically, I have it set to every upload instead of a monthly thing, also only for my bigger videos (not short ones like my saturday projects). Please don't feel oblogated to support my projects/channel, but know that it would be truly appreciated. Okay thank you I love you bye www.patreon.com/ronaldfinger

('85 2M4 and '86 GT) I love seeing your work and dedication go into this car. The Fiero is definitely unique. The only people who really cared about them, were those who owned one. Great job and great video! Also, if your G/F is that excited for your 30+ year old car project coming to life............. then she's a keeper.

At the moment, it'll start rumble the neighbors and die. Gas squirting out of the fuel pump! Hopefully that's it! Like you, I've replaced some, did my best to salvage other stuff and put some go fast goodies on it when I could, after permission from the wifey!

I'm 46 and this brings me back to 89.., same red 84' car. I didn't even realize at the time how lucky I was at 16 to own a nice, simple, fun 5 year old car. Moved up to an 86 black GT after that. Wish I had either one now. I'm living vicariously through these videos and am proud of what he's doing with this one also..

Ronald, I have binge-watched this over the past two days and I must tell you how enjoyable it is. I have a 1988 Formula that for the past few weeks was not running. Turned out the distributor was bad. I too have had issues with the heat/vent/defrost being stuck where ever it wants to stay, but you have given me hope on pulling the dash to make it work. looking forward to the last chapters on the enjoyable journey. Thanks.

Still one of my absolute favourite projects on KZbin!! I love how you’re not an expert mechanic, you’re just one of us, giving it a go, doing what you can, making old junk work again. Your voiceover is what makes this series though, really looking forward to seeing what else you have done to the car. My mini project started out the same as you, quick recommission to get it back on the road turned into full mechanical overhaul very quickly. Good luck with the car, hope we get to see it soon.

I just wanted to send this note of encouragement. The reason I love your videos is because I can relate to you. I feel like you don’t have any special advantages. You just roll up your sleeves and figure it out. You don’t even have a work table. Most of the time your just working on the ground! Then again, there is something special about you. You have an instinct about how stuff works. Would like to hear more in future videos about how you know so much about cars.
