Part 7 1987 Fiero GT Project Sat for 15 years

[@rcbimmerc4340]

Thanks for saving an American iconic car. Have a soft spot in my heart for the Fiero.

[@ESharp79]

I LOL'd when you kept calling it a PVC valve and not PCV. Just messin" loving the series!

[@Canadian_Icecube]

I am a closet 80’s cars fan but what brings me to your channel is not just the fiero but the production value of what you put out. Videos are really nicely made (calm music in the background, fast motion when needed, nice transition between scenes, nice introductions/conclusions, etc.). Others you tubers could learn from this. It shows you are in media industry (at least, I think you are). Sure it is homemade but excellent given you don’t have a crew behind you (except your wife or friend once in a while). And one more thing: your delivery is exceptional. Your voice is smoothing, explanations are clear- it is just so relaxing watching and listening to you - with the music in the background. You remind me, in your voice calmness, of corvetteben. Anyhow, love the work, love the person, and love the quality. I’ll keep watching for sure. Can’t wait until the Fiero is painted. And the good thing with old cars is that there is always content as there is always something to fix! Congrats.

Sooo many memories of my gold 1986 SE 2M6. A cheap upgrade that made my engine bay pop was replacing the spark plug wires with a color other than black; I chose yellow and it really complemented the red. Love your videos of the restoration and looking forward to seeing how paint turns out.

[@vadimfuks463]

I wish I did record my restoration . I dun so much and Lorne. Was lucky with my interior. You oil pressure looks good, I had sam problem. Lots of frustration , step back, think and fix.

[@cubbysrig]

I really enjoy watching someone restore/revive a long forgotten car. The V-6 Fiero was the most desirable option, however, a V-8 is definitely the way to go in today’s Cars-n-Coffee circles. With the availability of kits and factory engine/transmission options, along with some dashboard/interior swaps, you can create a very personal Fiero that would give you years of enjoyment. It’s easy to tell that the Fiero you have is dear to your heart, most likely reminiscent of one from your youth. But when you find yourself wanting more from that car, remember that you’re not alone, and that others before you have paved the way to what you crave. Type in V-8 Fiero, here on KZbin (Welditrick), and you’ll see what you’re missing. Keep up the good work, you’re doing just fine!

[@jeffr0]

I know it’s more work but removing that intake manifold looks like the solution. I used to have a Chevy van. I learned pretty quick that you spend most of your time taking off stuff to get to what you are working on.

[@fiero880]

If I could have removed the dog bone bracket that bolts to the block, that was the main issue. The intake didn't get in the way too much.

[@donaldshorrock5844]

Your doing a great job it’s good to see another fiero being saved.

[@harleyguyinmilw]

nice video, glad to see someone giving a Fiero some love

[@rottenkid389]

This is looking real good. Nice job. Looking forward to seeing it painted

[@VidTubeWatch]

You have done such a great job. I have always loved Fieros. I can't wait to see it after paint. Happy Driving!

[@fiero880]

Thank you!!

[@terrancecox4921]

Hey man. I love seeing your videos and I literally sit at my desk and at home and wait for the next videos. I can’t wait to see a new video

[@TheTexasCoder]

Nicely done! Looking forward to future videos!

[@fiero880]

Thank you!!

[@nate_d376]

Better you than me, working on that thing.... I had an Identical 87 with the 5 speed getrag, I never wanted to work on it, I even had a really hard time finding an independent shop that would work on it lol....

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

Nate D. They really aren’t that hard to work on. I’ve restored mine and i enjoyed working on it.

[@nate_d376]

@@onixfieroandscalemodelworks oh sure, It can be done. I just like my knuckles in one peice, lol. I have large hands, and find it hard to get in tight spaces. Had a fiat x19, same problem, really tight engine bay. But, if it saves money and you like it, go for it. They are really fun to drive, and I loved the exhaust note, even from a GM v6!

[@fiero880]

Lol!!! its been awhile since I have done this much work. Sometime with gloves and sometime not. I had to do the repairs myself for $$$ reasons. I would have already spent thousands just on labor work. Heck I already done that with all the parts I have bought.

[@Leemars123]

I didn't watch the whole video. But i did click the like button

[@robertwenzell9510]

Can't wait for part 8

[@formula73]

Dude...lol...PCV...Positive Crankcase Ventilation. PVC is polyvinyl chloride. Anyway, you’re doing great. You’re making me obsess over Fieros.

[@casst346]

smart work..great videos.

[@fiero880]

Thanks

[@BUDSBEAU]

I absolutely love this car. I always have, well once they changed the back half. how much money do you have in this car now including purchase and shipping costs ?

[@alphabreeze1123]

Never complain about a 45-min video. I love watching your Fiero project and would hate to see a 5 or 10 minute video of you working on your Fiero. I love the crisp Video and looking forward seeing your car completed. The ONLY complaint I have is, in your next video could you please remove the soft background music? If you must have music, maybe just have it play during the FWD speed up moments like when your washing the valve cover then have it off when your working and talking. Even though it's low it is still annoying. Thanks for the great Fiero Repair videos!

[@mr.2cents.846]

Most peioke don't know that the Fiero is magical to drive.

[@nate_d376]

Yeah, it's like riding a unicorn....

[@aldricracette4813]

You are right I had a 1986 gt awesome little car

[@FieroKyle]

Looks good!

[@fiero880]

Thank you!!

[@davidbD21]

Next time you have the battery out, take the Napa stickers off. Looks cleaner.

[@steveb611]

Great videos. Car brings back memories. What impact do you use for taking bolts off of your vehicle

[@hasbeengood]

Hey man, I enjoy your series. I suggest you get torque specs. Gaskets tend to leak when not properly torqued.

[@charlesb944]

Bravo, je m'abonne !

[@donttestme9546]

Ooh a penny!

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

How is the valve cover on the other side? I’ve done this job many times and it really is easier just to remove the intake.

[@fiero880]

From what I can tell it isn't leaking yet. The original plan is after paint I would have a local pontiac restoration shop replace the main seal and while the engine was out take care of the valve cover gaskets as well. But the rear cover was leaking pretty bad so I tried taking that chance without doing the intake.

[@johng5284]

Holy shoot that was stressful watching you remove that valve cover! Is it easier to remove the intake manifold or not to? I'm enjoying watching you work and looking forward to seeing it painted!

[@fiero880]

I agree!!! Thank you!!!

[@marcgelfand2037]

Keep up with more videos! I own a 87 gt with 19k on it, no leaks yet. But I would do the intake removal, once I learned how. Are you going to upgrade the brakes?

[@fiero880]

Thanks, Marc

[@Chronno81]

Jealous AF being a life long Pontiac fan! Dont recall if you stated what color you are having it painted? Going to assume the original gold / tan? Friends brother had the standard model in that color when I was a kid & it Popped!!!

[@kristdaa4612]

It looks to me like with your pain issues is that you're putting your coats on toothache because you're in a hurry to get it done. Don't get so close and just put light coats on at a time

[@goatmaster3387]

Loving the videos, but its better to just sand the entire valve cover off and paint it.

[@kurstyrobertson3309]

Hopefully from using that die grinder on the head and all the debris going into the vale train don’t mess your engine up. Should be using a gasket scraper

[@fiero880]

debris going into the valve train ?? lol You did see the area when I took the cover off right ? !!! I think it was cleaner after I used the die grinder.

[@onixfieroandscalemodelworks]

That paint won’t last. Model paint isn’t designed for high heat use. You would’ve been better off using paint stripper and high heat engine paint. I’m really enjoying watching your videos

[@alphabreeze1123]

onixfiero, why don't you do anymore Fiero videos yourself? change oil, Maintenance?, ect... I use to watch your work all the time.

[@fiero880]

I don't know. That is some really tough paint I used. time will tell but Thank you !!!

[@Dave7160]

Hi Fiero880 I have a question what colour is your seats in your fiero and the material?

[@fiero880]

Those are seat covers from Russ rwupholstery.com

[@villyrivera6856]

I think you should have just taken off the intake... The pry bar cracked me up …..

[@blevins6584mopar]

What’s you wife’s opinion of the Fiero ? Your doing a good maybe get some editing software 😆

I'm not fan of the Pontiac Fiero, but nice work.

[@vadimfuks463]

We're you but red motor bushings ?

[@fiero880]

I bought them off of eBay.

[@casst346]

the paint done?

[@fiero880]

I am working on Part 8 as we speak. Not sure how long or short I am going to make it. But I will give you hint, I found the painter passed out behind my Fiero. I am not lying!!!

[@casst346]

wow! not a good sign..

[@michaelhawkins5530]

Found a nice video on another Fiero owner who restored his to showroom condition. There were some cool dealer installed side scoops available back then. Obviously tough to find now, but you may want to look for them. Next, the crosslace wheels on your car had the option of being painted black or with the optional gold center. Since your car is about to be repainted gold, I'm thinking that the rim centers could be painted to match. It would be a cool, period correct look. See what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laSWo2yLirRgiq8

[@fiero880]

I have seen his video several times. He was extremely lucky. His Fiero was preserved in original condition not restored.

[@billykittner7128]

Pontiac dealer had mine off in 2001, no way would I pull them just for shiny paint :)

[@fiero880]

Obviously I took it off to replace the gasket due to the really bad oil leak it was causing. And why not make the cover look better while I was in there. Because I plan on never ever taking it off again.

[@aldricracette4813]

Generous motors always make stuff to fix real hard thats why he mechanics get paid the big bucks to fix anything

[@tonyf8358]

Your painting things is not gonna work if you dont seal it with a clear coat.

[@DavidWischnewski]

It's a 33 year old vehicle with no history as to how it is maintained. You seem to be more focused on how it looks than long term results.

[@fiero880]

You should watch part 1 up to part 7. all the mechanical stuff was done first. Cosmetic stuff is last. History of the car is explained in part 1 as well.

[@DavidWischnewski]

The 2.8 has a weak lower end. I would check the main and crankshaft bearings.

[@pole_barn_builder]

Still no Bayliner?? Pass....

[@fiero880]

Booooooo!!! I agree I do miss the Bayliner. In time we will get back to boats.

[@pole_barn_builder]

@@fiero880 there is still hope!!! Lol. Giving you a hard time man!

[@jonsixxx6569]

Next time tape the silver off and get red spray paint

[@jonsixxx6569]

Should of just took off the intake
