The Journey Ends | 1985 Fiero 2M4 Revival - Part 15

[@RonaldFinger]

Thank you, everyone. Thank you for following along with me and also for being patient. With the physical car being done almost two months ago, this video should've been out much, much sooner than this. Part of the reason it took so long to make was honestly because I was so overwhelmed from worrying that the video wouldn't be perfect. With the intention that this is indeed going to be the last video, no more ever on the Fiero, I wanted to perfectly wrap this in a bow, but I was so afraid that whatever I did wouldn't be the perfect way to end it. Eventually, I found a story I was happy with, and made the video into something I'm proud of. I'll be honest, it is not some huge, cross-country, ride-off-into-the-sunset extravaganza. While I know some people might have wanted that, it is not what would be true to me. This is something straight from my heart. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for being part of this journey with me.

It's been awesome not just seeing the journey of the car, but of your girlfriend's hair growing over time with her few appearances in the videos

[@FuzzyDiceProjects]

You absolute madman, you did it! You are right to be proud. That car is probably better than when it rolled off of the factory floor 36 years ago. No, scratch that, it's much better. It's yours. There isn't a single part of this build that wasn't impressive, but all the little things and the huge amount of effort and care that went into the detail work really shows in the finished car. But you covered that really well, and I want to thank you for all of the effort that you put into making this series. Turning a wrench is only a small fraction of the work behind each episode and you deserve praise for every minute of effort in front of the camera, behind the camera, at the computer, and creating your own community around your passion. That's what you have that everyone here wants to share with you, on this and future projects - passion. You aren't afraid to share the impact all of this has had on your life, what has gotten you through it, and your strong emotional connection with both the car and those who have helped you on it along the way. That moment you reinstalled the gauge cluster and the way you talk about Elise says it all. You're a person worth following. This chapter is over but know that you have many thousands of us eagerly awaiting the next one. But, for now, give yourself a pat on the back and enjoy this. Enjoy the car. Nothing ever ends, not really, but it seems like the right decision to put down the camera and drive. Your project was to restore the car and film the process, and you did it. You absolutely did.

I told my wife I just finished watching a 3 year series about a guy restoring a Fiero. However, it felt like saying a permanent goodbye to an old friend.

[@TractorPrepper]

Hey there Ronald, I hope this doesn't get buried too bad. But I just want to say your videos inspired me to finally work on my Fiero GT (again) thats been in my family since 1993. It was my moms car 6 years before I was born and I remember growing up riding around in it and distinctly how much I loved the car. And then a divorce happened and it sat for 15 years before I really started gaining interest in cars. I started work on "reviving" the Fiero around 2016 in our garage with little to no tools I can't believe I got done what I did. (My mother said if I could fix it I could have it). But unfortunately after driving it around it started overheating and developed a rod knock. So heartbroken I just let it sit not thinking I'd ever get around to it. But then some amount of years later I happened upon your first video of the series and I kind of gained interest in my Fiero again. Finally after seeing your videos of you painting yours and putting it together I finally drug mine out of the woods and started tearing into it. As of me posting this comment I have a new rebuilt 2.8 V6 in it and am starting my bodywork. Thank you for the inspiration to get mine back on the road.

You made me feel like a part of your group and I was right there with you helping out. Sorry about the hole in the headliner, BTW. You and your significant other look wonderful together. Enjoy each other, enjoy the car, enjoy life. You have given a whole lot of people the courage to take on a project, such as yours has been. At 61 I've had my share, maybe more than I should have, of cars to restore and watching you made me feel like the torch has been passed. I must admit, you taking apart the radio was my favorite segment. Even I had never attempted such a repair and I thought I had done it all. Good luck I look forward to your next project.

[@Captain-Max]

My Fiero story: At 19 yrs of age, I was stationed on Guam and had the joy to own Hondas 1st sports car, an S600. At 21, i was fortunate enough to buy my 1st new car. A 1971 Mustang fast back. A lifetime of cars and trucks brought me to 1995 when I bought my 1st Fiero. I had admired them when they first came out. In 1996, I bought my 2nd Fiero, a 1987 model with only 17,000 miles in perfect condition. It was a fantastic, fun to drive car. Now, at age 73, in an effort to once again enjoy driving for the sake of driving, I just purchased a 2023 Mazda Miata. You're correct. You have only finished the beginning. You have many years to enjoy sports cars. I was a heavy equipment mechanic, self-taught. What you have learned can be the start of a very good career. Well done!!

[@leifhietala8074]

In Italian, "Fiero" means "proud." You should be proud.

The hole in the headliner, the solvent pop, the runs, the chips... they are more than defects, they are stories and hunting for them will make seeing this car all the more fun for your fans.

Ronnie, I want to thank you. You have inspired me, and gave me a craving I had to fill. After watching, I believe, part 2 when it came out, I decided I needed a Fiero. When part 5 or 6 came out, I had found one that an older gentleman had sitting on his drive way for sale. I paid $1600 for the car, an 85’ Fiero GT. Every time I watched your videos on yours, I learn how to do something new on mine. All of my work is a very slow process due to low income, but I absolutely love it. The work is 3/4 of the fun, and knowing one day mine will be exactly how I want it is a great feeling. Just as you did. Thank you, Ronnie. For all of your hard work, both on your car, and your videos. P.S. Just because the Fiero is complete, doesn’t mean I’m going to stop watching. I’m looking forward to your upcoming projects, as you have a great personality, and make great quality videos. I’m here for as long as you are.

I'm proud to have been one of the very few who started watching you on the very first video. I remember the day I found your first video and I found it because I was trying to find inspiration to start working on my wife's VW bug. The story of her bug is a long one but I'll make it simple. She got the VW bug it's her first car when she was in high school and she fell in love with it. She drove it all through college and tell it finally had major motor issues and died on her so she bought another car that was more reliable so she can become an active adult and such. She kept the car in her garage for many years and after her and I started dating I realized how bad she wanted it fixed. After we had dated for years and we're engaged to be married I literally stole her car and took it down to my shop. I rebuilt the motor the transaxle replaced wiring put new brake lines upgraded to disc brakes new gas tank new filler hoses and a bunch of small stuff. The only thing I didn't do on the car was the body work because I felt like it was her fingerprint having small little dents and dings because when she showed me the car she was able to tell me where each one came from. On our wedding day I brought her the car and it was a pretty special moment. So I would like to say thank you because you did inspire me to take a step forward and doing something that has been a signature on my life.. Totally not crying over here I hope you do more videos because I've enjoyed watching them. Thanks buddy and have a great one. Enjoy the fiero and enjoy the new memories.

This is so satisfying to see man. I've been watching since *almost* the beginning of this series and this video is such a good payoff for everything that you've been through with this car. Excellent work. Can't wait to see all the other projects you have coming.

[@anthonypalesi8496]

I never thought you'd be following this build as well

[@Eytaris]

oh, hi Bob, wasn't expecting to see you there! :D

[@photondebuger45]

Oh hi bob

[@yourboyhunter142]

I never knew you watched him, hi bob

[@KobenjiSan]

I did not expect to see your name here 😂

[@TheMetroPhotographer]

I literally shed a tear during this video. You better put a ring on your woman's finger! She's a winner 🏆!

[@t10god]

This is ridiculous. It is not an exaggeration to say that you handled, refurbished, or replaced virtually every... single... component... that assembles this vehicle. There must be over two thousand parts. You pulled it to pieces. And you put it back together. I am floored, I can't even comprehend the amount of patience.

Ronald really fingered our how to bring us arguably the best car content on KZbin. He took a channel about his engineering and 3D printing, and turned it into a series that had us waiting on pins and needles. I thank you for the hours of enjoyment, the perfectly places swear words and the life lessons. I couldn’t ask for more.

[@dylanduropan4799]

This has been my all time favorite restoration series on KZbin of all time. It felt as if I was there in person watching this beauty getting restored, I felt the frustration and sense of achievement this man had on this car, and he portrayed it well. I hope there will be more future restorations🙏

[@TheMadMathius]

This wasn't just a car restoration project. This was an amazing, epic journey. Thank you for letting us tag along. It was a lot of fun!

[@blairwilliams136]

He has so much heart .

[@alanmuniz9702]

Ya know, I've watched this entire series when I was in my sophomore year of high school and now watching the end of this build with only a couple of weeks left that I leave for bootcamp, I feel complete.

Don’t let the Fiero know that she’s not the love of your life

[@connorwalls.]

the fact that ive stuck with this project since maybe a month after part 1 was released is amazing... It's finally over and man was it satisfying

[@michelledarkling6690]

Dear Ronald, I was 36 years old when I first started watching your Fiero series, after a life of being a car enthusiast and doing light work on my own cars. I used to hold the flashlight for my dad when he worked on the family cars when I was a kid in the 80s. I've always wanted to work on cars. Your videos are what drove me to finally enroll in an automotive repair class at a local community college. My dad always made sure both of his daughters could do more than just iron, cook, and change diapers. I've loved this series from start to finish! And since the 80s is my favorite period in automotive design, it made me teary a few times. You don't know me, but you've given me a lot! Thank you!

[@antnybcapalini2378]

I'm half way through the video and through the tears of joy and sadness that it is over, I spot a "Z" in the garage and the excitement of hope fills my heart. It isn't what you do that makes us love you and your videos, it is how you do them, how you do things as if no one is watching, yet include us in every detail as if we are right there with you. Thank you for that.

[@danhale4926]

Mr. finger, this has been nothing short of a master class in craftsmanship, patients and determination. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@mastertonyman]

It's not fare that a young man like you can make a 54 year old man like me cry... and I was holding it until you bolted the dashboard back from fixing the odometer. That was a very personal moment and I thank you for sharing it with us. I feel very happy for your accomplishment, thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[@yaballa85]

So a v6 swap a few yrs down the road would really be mind blowing to watch that series

[@OutaTimeFPV]

Every time I see a Fiero, I will think of this project. This series has grown with me and it’s been quite the journey.

[@Jknudsen0523]

I could spend all day watching you restore old cars. It’s your narration, editing and choice of vehicle that I find so interesting.

[@PaintSociety]

Awesome build. So thankful you were able to use the videos from my channel to help produce a great finish in your garage !

[@TheMatthewklos]

You have helped me so much!

[@collinvoeller3980]

hey there! Maybe one day you'll see this comment out of the several thousand... BUT i Just finished a complete binge of this series! I need to say, apart from your serious skill and knack for all things mechanical, you are a masterful storyteller. It takes vulnerability and authenticity to share such a deep and impactful story and you are so so good at it. Incredible series. Thank YOU for sharing.

[@smokemonkey2596]

Man i watched this whole series when i was 8th grade it feels so weird knowing that I've watched this series for the past 3 years of my life and seeing one of my most favorate series to watch coming to an end makes me feel sad that there wasn't more of this. Eitherway thank you Ronald Finger

[@megaglowz8540]

That's not vanity, that's pride. And well warranted. Awesome job man.

[@e343balla]

Maybe the next one wont take 3 years But if it does, we'll be here for you

[@markonmotoring]

In so many ways this car reminds me of a Delorean. Both cars had revolutionary ideas of construction with DMC having stainless steel panels on a glass fibre structure. The Fiero having a steel construction with composite body panels. Both perhaps didn't live up to the hype I'm practice but that doesn't matter because they show innovation. Both cars could only have come from the 1980s. There really is no sense in me trying to buy and restore a Fiero as I dint have your engineering prowess, or a garage/barn to work in and parts availability will be an even bigger issue here in the UK. A fiat X1/9 or MR2 would probably make more sense and possibly drive better but not sum up the greatest decade ever as much. I still remember seing one for the first time at an American car dealer back in the 90s and have never foregoten that. You have done a fantastic job and should be very proud of what has been achieved.

[@gospodinmacak]

We didn't say our goodbyes tho, we said our see you later's.. Ronnie, you are such an inspirational and genuine person, I feel like every single time you sit in that car, that car speaks, speaks words of thanks. Thank You for taking us on this wild journey with you. :)

[@jozsefizsak]

It's impossible to exaggerate how much I've enjoyed your eloquence, wit and wisdom in all of these videos. You're a wonderful example of a civilized human being and a splendid role model demonstrating what a happy and meaningful life looks like. Your contribution to the greater good is already assured. Trust me, I'm old and I know how these things work! ;)

[@macdaddyjill]

I am one of those who clicked your recommended KZbin algorithim video in 2019. I'm so glad I did. Hard to believe its been 2 years. Great job and I cannot wait to see your next projects :)

[@user-lz6ly3vp8z]

I just found this series and watched them all. Great job and what determination! True inspiration. Hope to see more projects.
