3 Year Timelapse - Fiero Restoration | Abandoned for 20 Years

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2024
- Restoring this 1985 Pontiac Fiero was a wild and crazy journey. This was my first time ever undertaking a project car. I did a lot of things not in the best order and made lots of mistakes, but after three years I persevered! I fully refurbished the fuel system, drivetrain, suspension, interior, bodywork, and most importantly: the pop-up headlights.

This is a REAL restoration. You didn’t just throw all new parts in it, you restored from what it seemed like 99% of the original parts. Love it brother love it 🙏🏼
Especially the end credits, doesn’t matter how hard you try, you’ll always break something 😅
So true I wasn't expecting that kinda restoration!!
Same
Parts for these can be hard to find/get or cost a lot of $$ so yeah, I would definitely be re-using all that I could 😂
I thought the same thing. Very resourceful. Great job!
You can absolutely tell that this was a project of love. Even after it's complete, to go back through every video made over the last three years just to put together what essentially is a 42 minute highlights reel really puts into perspective that this was a passion project. One that we are all upset to see end, but one that ended complete. Thank you for a hell of a series, Ronald.
Here's to the next project!
Couldn't have said it better myself
Exactly my sentiment
Is it really a "highlight reel"? I loved the series but this one looks like all the videos just played at 5x speed.
@@DavidPlass He cut out nearly all the face videos, dialogue, etc. Making it essentially a highlights video, highlighting the car not the man behind it.
@@DavidPlass Though the curse filled rants at the end were a nice personal touch haha.
The fact that you rebuilt almost every component instead of throwing parts and money at it, makes this one of the best restorations on you tube. By a long shot. Nicely done!
By far the best restoration I've seen over all these years on TH-cam. What impressed me was that you knew everything, from mechanics and bodywork, to the electronics of the cassette player.
And unlike the other restoration channels, you restore parts as much as possible, rather than just swapping like everyone else (who does what's easy rather than what's right).
It was worth every minute.
C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S !
Exactly my thoughts. How did this dude learn all of those different skills. I see so many restorations where the body gets fixed & nothing else because that's all that guy knows, so he sells it to a drive train & suspension guy, who them sells it to an interior guy who finishes it. Not necessarily in that order, but you get the idea. They can only do their part. No shame in that, but that's ebay is amazing about this resto.
This is the most complete restoration that I personally have ever seen. Pure genius! Even restored the radio/cassette… omg! That guy is extremely talented.
Even restored all stickers...not sure how does one simply get all the knowledge to do it
WoW…. So great to see younger generation bringing back to life a part of my generations past. Excellent Job Guys….
I was 17 and went to the Pontiac dealer shop where we bought all of my families cars from through the years. My parents went out of town with their friends and I needed an oil change on my Fire Chicken (Trans-am)and I always waited there while they did it. So this day I’m walking around the dealership looking at the new Fire Chickens (Trans-am)and this Salesperson recognized me from my family’s prior purchases and approaches me. Asking if I’m ready to trade in for a new one. I hadn’t thought about the adult things behind purchasing a new car, I was 17, lol… I told him my parents were outta town and he told me “No Problem” and that he knew my parents and I could simply pick one and drive it home and when my parents got back in town he’d contact them to gather the info. I told him to show me what he’s got, lmao… I had my heart set on a 1988 GTA, the 1987’s didn’t not have T-Tops and they only came in automatic transmissions… Well, my buddy got one for his Birthday and it was beautiful, had T-tops, 5-speed, and a digital dash… It made my 1987 look prehistoric…. Mine seemed faster cause I’d whoop him every-time… I always thought it was the driver and he just couldn’t grasp the stick shift/clutch gig… Nope… The automatics had a 5.7liter 350 and all the 1988’s with 5-speeds and T-tops were a 305 engine… This is why my buddy couldn’t keep up with me…
As I walked on the lot I saw this yellow car… it was a Formula Fiero with sunroof, 5-speed, and a 6 cylinder engine… I drove it home and loved it… I knew that my Mom was gonna flip her shit when she found out what I’d done… So I knew I had to put some miles on it so they couldn’t take it back, lmao… So that day, on a Saturday, I drove up the east coast all along the beach putting 500 miles on it that day… I kept it for several years and all I ever did to it was oil changes, brakes once, and a couple sets of tires, no shit… it ran perfect and was never a problem…. It was an Awesome car….
🏆💯👊🏼💙
I was looking to buy one back in 85, but due to the sales guys on the lot not taking me seriously, I went with a Mazda Rx-7 GSL Still, a part of me wishes for the Fiero
@@armsdirectory the RX-7 was a very nice ride…
That's a great memory to share thanks.
@@armsdirectory An RX-7 is still respectable.
@@nyuuchan356 yeah, totally glad I got the RX instead because I would have trashed the Fiero and would have made me sad today!
As a former owner of a 86' Fiero (bought in the summer of 90') I actually went looking for a Fiat X19 but when I found the Fiero and drove it I bought it on the spot. I drove it daily for many years until it was no longer safe to drive. I parted it out and recall pretty much breaking even on it. Mr. Finger, I hope she gives you many years of safe use, enjoyment & pride.
Watching this Vid. brought back some awesome memories ~ Thank You, Sir.
I'm 53 and I love the feelings created by the 80's-sounding soundtrack! This could have easily been 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2.' 😊 Thanks again for the good vibes!!!
Your tellin me, had i just been patient for 3 years I could have seen this thing all at once?? what a time to be alive!
Extremely jealous of those who discovered this now and get to watch 3 yrs in 42 minutes
i mean we got to see the good and bad, not just an a timelapse so i mean
to me it's worth it
However, this is the version with all the jokes removed.
😂
The 3 year journey was completely worth it. Every episode.
Man... I feel like I was sitting in Iraq watching Part 1 just last week.... crazy what all has changed in that time!!
Hands down the most meticulous revival on TH-cam, well done sir!!
A surprise to be sure...but a welcome one! Glad one of my other favorite TH-camrs has enjoyed this series as much as I have.
And I was just thinking how I'd like to see this guy team up with you and Mook or with Derek.
Dude the fuckin post credits XD
@@JunkyardDigs My favorite part lol
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore?
By far the best restoration i have seen in my life. You guys are the most talented people i have seen in the car restoration space. Appreciate you dedication and patience to the details. 3 years holding onto something and getting in done loss for words 🙏🏻🎉
I totally second naming this the best restoration, ever. This was truly turning a diamond in the rough into a diamond. If anything, you gilded the lily.
Thank you for the bloopers at the end. I was inspired to try doing this myself. I had people in place who were going to help me since I was an over the road truck driver at the time. I bought the car that I was going to restore, but then everyone bailed on me, leaving me with a car I no longer could restore. Unfortunately, I ended up selling it to a junk yard. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Thoroughly enjoyed watching you throughout the process. Thanks for sharing
This is what you call a full restoration, dude even fixed the radio....! Great work
I thought for sure he would just get a new radio, nope. Insane level of detail.
The paint though
Thought the same...
Yeah it was a good restoration .. However I would have opted for a new stereo with modern amenities myself . And just kept the old stereo in the trunk .. so it could always be switched back to original equipment . But the restoration is awesome .. I'd like to restore a car one day ..
Dude, you did an amazing job on the restoration. It's incredible that you even fixed pieces that most of us would have just bought replacements for!
Honestly he prolly had to…can you even get (most) parts for Fieros now??
@@kflo1219 yes. They made a shit ton of them. Thats why they are the go to car, along with older vw bugs and beetles, as the base for most kit cars.
Mom: "get that filthy junk off the kitchen table , right now!"
The fact that you did almost everything your self is amazing, congratulations on the achievement and learning to paint , repairing everything!!! Just truly inspiring 👌✅
Even restored the radio and tapedeck. Unbelievable. Blooper reel was gold
I'm not crying, there's just some sandblasting media in my eyes 😭
owo
:3
I didn't cry I swear I only got gasoline into my eyes
The last 30 seconds is PRICELESS!!!
That's what she said.
@@robertg262 🤣🤣🤣
Full of patient n fuck..haha..
Sounds like me working on shit in the garage
What a fantastic job !!! It’s always great to see the younger generation doing a complete restoration like this ! Enjoy the fruit of your labor !
I haven’t seen this car in about a year and I’ve been watching it being restored since I was thirteen and I’m 17 it’s been a real journey 🎉
look, I've never seen a guy so young with a lot of wisdom to do everything, hydraulics, electrics, engines, brakes, upholstery, bodywork, he did everything you can imagine, and admirable persistence, congratulations on his whim won my LIKE!!!
Greed. I was sort of surprised he just didn't build a second one along side of the original, for the heck of it. lol Great job.
O cara e bom

ชชชช
Electronics too. I mean, he restored the bloody cassette tape player!
The #1 thing installed in this project was the genuine love for the vehicle. 🙌🏻❤
I love this car more than anything in the world, I would give anything to have it. Knowing how much you did to completely restore it to brand new condition. No words.
I bought 1 as a project back when i was like 18 but never did much with it sold it. Wish i had done the work good job! Really glad people like you still exist.
Simply amazing!! At some point the video just stops being about the car. It's about you! I admire your will, the dedication, the brains for improvisation, the freaking patience, the enormous variety of knowledge and skills and the mastery that is shown here.... The car turned out fantastic and I hope you enjoy it. But mate, we need more people with your qualities and skills. Wishing you all the best!
I. With you brother these 2 guys took there time and .are sure it was perfect 👌 100% and I admire that !!
I was going to make a Comment.however after reading yours you said it all for me and perhaps thousands of others who may have watched this video Thanks
To Skark for G comment
I wanted to write a meaningful comment but maybe "THANKS" it's just all I need to say, What a journey this has been. Cheers from Italy.
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore?
This brings back memories of my first car. Dad bought it for me on my 15th B-day. A 1968 1/2 Road Runner. Looked like it was literally painted with a broom this baby blue nasty color, interior looked like someone let a bobcat loose in it for a week, the old 383 burned more oil than gas... He paid... $250.00 for it in 1985. Yeah, it was that bad...
I had saved about $4,000 working on farms, growing my own cucumbers for the pickle factory etc and he told me "Son, you have a cousin who lives not far with a body shop and all the tools you'll need to make it look new again, all you gotta do is learn and I can't think of any better way." I spent every day I could over there, even slept in the garage a few times. My cousin would show me what and how to do it, and I did it. Both rear quarters were I shit you not were constructed from chicken wire and paper-mache. I cut the sheet metal from some old school lockers, formed them and welded them in place. I did it all inside and out, piece by piece and 90% of it by myself in that year. After final paint it looked incredible! Last piece to the puzzle was the tired engine. I started to rebuild it when fortune via a local junkyard I frequented called and told me to come look at something... It was a 1969 Charger T/A with a 426 Hemi rear ended by an 18 wheeler and totaled. I bought that Hemi and the 4 speed manual trans for $1200.00, did freshen up and 2 weeks later it was purring in my Road Runner.
There is no single feeling I can describe greater than seeing what your 2 hands are capable of after so much time and effort to make something that most see as junk into the envy of all your peers. Good work here, thanks for sharing.
How tf does someone this young know how to do all this?!?!
Can't wait to see what's next. The capability you have in that barn is outrageous. You can paint in a "booth", powdercoat, electrolysis rust removal, sand blasting, there's a lift, and a sweet little donkey to help when you accidentally knock a body panel off the sawhorses. Love it!
Not to mention all of the very real skills he picked up while doing all of these things. I picked up a decent set of mechanics skills while working on my own beaters as a young man. Buying the parts and tools was always cheaper than paying someone to do it for me. And I never got anywhere near the wide range of tasks that Ronald did during this restoration.
Some of the fairly expensive tools were donated or possibly loaned. I've asked but don't recall seeing any answer as to whether he had to return any of them.
But if he did have to return some, now that he is a TH-cam millionaire I guess he can replace them if he really needs esoteric capabilities such as electrolytic rust removal in the future. Or I guess he could just follow some of the TH-cam videos on how to do that with a tank of chemicals and a spare car battery. :-D
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore?
Knowing as much as I know about cars, seeing this made me realize just how much I don’t know about cars. Bravo, gents. Masterclass in restoration.
What did the restoration cost$$$$$
@@jpverkaik
Dude!!! The last part brought it all together. Now, I know you’re just a regular human
absolute stellar job guys ... was a joy to watch, brought back memories of my own 2M4.. you should all be very proud.. again, most excellent job by the whole team.
Proud to say I followed the whole build since the beginning. Excited to see what you do next :D
X2 💪
About a year in for me, first time I ever used "Notify" on TH-cam. I wanted to know when there were new videos.
Me too!
.. Same.
@@leefranklin3054 OMG same for me too! His channel was the first one I started using notifications on
Amazing work Ronald - Glad to see all your hard work paid off!!
Thank you for helping him! :)
Hi
the ending was best part. shows the true experience of a master refiner and reverse engineer. GREAT WORK!
Its nice to see a group of young men bonding around the rebuild of a car that was new when I was bonding with my friends around a 1957 Plymouth Fury rebuild
That was a great way to spend 40 minutes on a Sunday. Ridiculously amazing job sir, you have my eternal respect for this.
Coolest restoration ever. I watched from start to finish. Haven’t seen this car since a kid. Keep ‘em coming
X2
wow
Best 42 minutes of restoration. Thumbs up 100
Thank you for repairing a classic car from damaged to good because I am a fan of classic cars😊
I've been having a real rough few weeks and I stumbled across this video while trying to unwind. I want you to know that everything about this genuinely made my day. The time, effort and love that you and the people around you put into this project makes me think there is a bright future still out there. Thank you!
dude my last few weeks have been absolutely terrible I'm happy to see I'm not alone
I hope things start looking up for you brother. As this video shows even the most neglected and damaged things can be brought back to life with some hard work and care.
Dan I hope your doing better. This kid gives us all Hope for the future.
If the stuff ever hits the fan their are guys like this out there 😄👍❤️🙏
This is one of the top 10 best videos I've ever watched on YT with great music too.
What an absolute brilliant job on your restoration! Excellent craftsmanship restoring most of the original parts. The Fiero looks better than new!
th-cam.com/channels/S8E28vpdU7gP5B5B0eNujw.html
Just amazing.
For someone like me who can't even put a shelf straight, watching what you did is incerdebile.
Wow I’m totally impressed. First of all, you have mad skills to be able to fix everything. Second, totally appreciate that you truly restored, and not replaced, everything!
This is how to do a RESTO and you had the 80's themed music to add Flava, Great Job my man!
Sherry sherry lady..haha..
This video deserveds to be watch and like... It took him 3 years of rebuilding and fixing this car... I'm 45 years old and I can't even build a bike.. but this guy is rebuilding and fixing cars 👏👏👏👏 I'll definitely ..for sure gonnna follow this video.. keep it coming.. 👍👍👍
This is by far the best restoration video of a car down to the nuts and bolts I have ever seen!!! Mind blowing restoration work, brother. Absolutely MIND BLOWING! Beautiful job!!
3years in a 40 minute video this is the best restoration video I’ve seen thus far
I was like, "This guy's serious about this restoration."
Then he fixed the old busted-ass tape-deck stereo.
some dedication right there
I’ve seen some amazing things on TH-cam but I have to say this video is right up there in with the most unbelievable things I’ve ever seen. The amount of talent, dedication, and passion it took to do what you did is mind boggling.
Wow man! Awesome job. This was my favorite car back when I was in high school. I still love it and love seeing one on the road. I admire your perseverance amid many obstacles (as shown on the encore of your video). Congrats man, even if 2 years late.
That was an amazing restoration. I’ve always loved the Pontiac Fiero. You did a brilliant job!! Enjoy the ride!! And I loved the outtakes. Made me feel a little less intimidated by your ability..
Absolutely loved the restoration and attention to detail. The Fiero was my dream car back in the 1980s. It came out the year I graduated so it was special to me. I finally ended up with a 1984 white base model in 1992. After a couple years I moved on, but bought a 1984 SE in red out of a salvage yard in 2003. This one got a full tilt resto-mod with upgraded tires, wheels, brakes and interior. I did not have the time or skill set to do what they did to the one in this video, so I ended up spending about $20k having it restored. Loved it until another Fiero enthusiast in our car club persuaded me to sell it to him. Beautiful work you did in restoring this classic piece of automotive history and a huge salute from a lifelong Fiero fan.
Getting ready to start a 1984 se and I just can't wait to start ordering new part's for it next week!! I'll keep everyone updated on it..
My Dad worked in the Fiero plant he put on two motor mounts/dogbones , spare tire & compartment it sat in, me & my brother got a lil hands on experience which was FUN , we also went on a few tours, this video brings back so many memories I always wanted too work in a autoplant and love working on autos even now.
You should watch this series, it features a Ferrari Fiero.
It was a lot of fun with the Fiero running.

Dude, you’re a genius. You are so gifted ! You can do anything that’s crazy ! Even the filming, the editing and the songs choices is great. This might be one of the most interesting and entertaining videos I’ve ever seen on TH-cam . Congratulations
Absolutely amazing what this young man did, couldn’t keep my eyes of the total restoration process! Way to go, loved the car when it first came out, still a beauty.
I felt the agony of those bloopers in my soul 😂 That's me anytime i work on my cars it seems! But seriously man wow, what a complete job you did here. And go Coogs!! Good stuff brotha.
Ronnie, you have footage of yourself rebuilding the calipers on the kitchen counter. If your mom sees this you could be in trouble. Praying for you.
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore?
And the steering column on the dinning table! Ronnie, your mom is going to beat you with a wooden clothes hanger! Run boy, RUN!!
"everyone knows when you lock the keys in the truck of a fiero the lock cylinder disappears and takes body molding with it" - a brilliant attempt by ronald to cover his flaws
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore? ?
Excellent, professional job! It is so refreshing to see young adults with so much talent take on a basket case, stick with the project till it is done and turn out a beautiful car. Kudos 🙂
Great work! My mother worked for HiLex in Battle Creek, mi and made many parts for the original Fiero. We were able to attend the unveiling and she signed all the parts she made. I’ll always have a soft sit for them.
this has probably been one of the best car restorations ever made on youtube, I would love if you had it professionally detailed and had it put on display. What a beautiful car.
Did u see it😍
looking forward to whatever is next!
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore?
The level of knowledge and skills and engineering are of the highest tier. This was amazing to watch. Much love and respect. Thanks for sharing this. It’s rare to see this intricate level of craftsmanship in full display. You reworked and overhauled everything. Even fabricated a lot. It’s insane 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
My man, you're G. I really appreciate the reel at the end showing your frustrations along the way. You kept grinding and it paid off. This was awesome to watch.
The end there makes me feel more human...🤣🤣🤣 Just WOW guys!!! Awesome job done here!!!
Именно этот автомобиль мне всегда нравился больше всех других американских авто. Всегда мечтал о нём, но о чем я еще мог мечтать в 19 лет в 1985 году)). Проделана огромная работа по восстановлению этой чудесной модели. Ребята мастера высокого уровня! Всегда приятно когда что то красивое, но забытое и заброшенное возвращается к жизни и радует глаз своим великолепием.
Огромное спасибо за это творчество и за прекрасный ролик!
Сохраню его себе на память. Шикарное авто!
Здоровья Вам и новых интересных проектов!!!
И кот Леопольд наверное рад, что его машину починили :-))
The car looks better then when it came out of the factory. What a way of keeping it original while improving it all the way. Best restoration I’ve ever seen. 🙏🏾❤️
I can't tell you how lucky I am to find this rebuild - that was so awesome. -I owned a 2M4 in my youth - you guys are soooo talented, as mechanics, fabricators, and car builders - sky is the limit with your talents...I notified mine with a Holley FI & headers, lowered coils w/ Bilsteins, front swaybar. loved waving you rebuild the Iron Duke, interior and all the body work.
Those final cut scenes are priceless! Shows the real meat of the struggle.
When the hood fell off the saw horses I lost it.
This is so impressive man. You literally touched every part of that car. If i could give it more "likes" i would have.
Well Done!
Wow, I just saw the summary of such an impressive trip, even though the title says restore, for me it is the resurrection of a Fiero and not die trying.
I can only think of words of praise for you and for all those who collaborated with such a company.
As we say for my land, I take my hat off.
Please go ahead, and remember, God grants victory to constancy and perseverance.
Receive you and your team a cordial and warm greeting from Venezuela.
Bravo Zulu.
I've never (personally) liked the Fiero body style... but the level of research and hard work and attention to detail in your labor of love makes this one of the most beautiful autobiles I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
I'm sure the next chapter, or book, will be as fun to follow as this has been. Following.......
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore?
My question is how come these guys can do all the work all by themselves at those ages? That's what we should appreciate!
Well, I agree with your comment. But, They don't look like they're 15 either. They're just what we call a "Dying Breed". Not many men these days have THAT much knowledge, Including myself. I mean, I can do a lot of work by myself, But I have nowhere NEAR the knowledge these men have!
@@pronerider5626 Ronald is in his mid 20's and he has just been around cars for a long time and he's picked up a lot.
@@PeterGriffin-kb2hf Yep, That's what I figured! I'm self taught, I have enough to get me by. But NO way am I this skilled.
I agree wonderful job for their age. I train young people in the collision industry and it’s hard to find young people who have interest in cars!
Somehow this video just popped up in my feed. This has made me so nostalgic. My first car was a gold 1986 Fiero. I had so much fun driving that thing around...thanks for bringing back some good memories!
Hands down the best and most meticulous restoration I have ever seen. I now want one of these! Hot car!
Love the ending of the video. Really shows the true frustration that comes with doing something like this!🤘
I was just about to click next..read this comment and waited for gold lol did not disappoint. Props for the dedication
Crazy to think I was 13 when you started this revival. I'm now married, 3 children and have been the general manager for my local dealership for 7 years.
We q
deep respect mate.. this is insane! good you never gave up. I admire your passion and dedication 💪
All that in three years?
You should put down the fredramine puffery
too funny
3 children in 3 years at 16 years old?
I am so impressed. I've done this more than a few times. Twice on motorcycles and twice on cars. Ut is a great workout for those with adhd and ocd.
Such great work! Thank you, it is always great to see the joy something like this can bring you.
Also though please be aware of the great impact you have made on so may people’s lives and be proud.
Watching you cuss at the end was pure gold...
...and all this time I thought you were Bob Ross-esque with this revival...
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore? ?
in these kast three years, i have lost my father, my belief in my country, my belief in myself, yet you just keep on doing what you like and keep it going until you accomplish it. i respect you... ypu are a person to be recognized.
The best part of the video are the outtakes, showing it will never go 100% to plan and there will always be setbacks. Very nice job! Took me back to growing up in the 1980's!
Dreaming of this kind of restoration! Really amazing and satisfying. Now I have the reason to buy an old car and restore it. Thanks for this wonderful video and keep it up guys. Godbless us all.
The bits at the end is what automotive restoration/work is really like. Phenomenal work. Can't beat that 80's coolness.
The video should be titled “satisfaction “
Each step completed .. so, you know
Another amazing thing is the girl!
She stayed
Great video!
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore? ?
An amazing restoration! I watched the whole series as it posted and this compilation a year ago. Just watched it for the 2nd time and am still amazed how much work and skill you put into this. You literally touched and restored every inch of this car. I had an 85 2M4 and an 86 GT back in the day and loved driving and working on both of them. Ah, memories! Thinking of getting a derelict Fiero one of these days, striping the skin and interior to the bone and making a rat-rod to run in the sand dunes here in Michigan.
У меня чуть глаза не вытекли. 😭 Зачем так быстро?! Пришлось ставить на -0.5.
Очень здорово! Качественная огромная работа проделана! Супер!!! 👍👍👍
All that heartache at the end. LOVED this series and car. Ronnie Finger is an absolute legend.
hi, i'm new to this business, can you see how i restore? ?
Ronald, this brought real joy to me to see. I got an '87 2M4 high milage survivor a year ago that I've been daily driving. You brought a car most don't consider worth saving back to factory fresh condition. That's something to be proud of, and I've bookmarked your Playlist as a cheat sheet for my own repairs and restoration efforts. Cheers!
I hope that your own repairs go well on your own car. Meanwhile, have you heard about the person that used a Pontiac Fiero chassis and rebuilt his car into a practically perfect copy of a Lamborghini Miura?
@@paxhumana2015 Not the Miura specifically, but I know a lot of Fieros became kit cars of some description. It sounds like the Miura was a custom job
@@thoralexander9387 My friend did a Porsche 911 conversion on his 88 v6 back in the late 90's. They are so simple to disassemble near anyone can do it if they have access to the basic tools. Looked similar enough to a real 911 that he could fool casuals but any real car nut spots it right away. Still was a hoot to drive.
Amazing Build Guys from Start to Finish Great Job....
My first car was the 6 cylinder version, but was still an '85. Man you made it brand new! What a show. Great job.
The montage of swearing at the end is probably the best things I’ve seen in the videos. Everything else is amazing, but that made my garage potty mouth, feel more normal. 😂
The 80s Music Went Perfectly with this Video!
Spectacular Jobs !👍🤝
Just blown away by the way you did this, truly inspiring. Just imagine what you will be able to accomplish with the correct workshop and tools. Wow just wow. 👍👍👍
I think the fact that he legit pulled this off from ground up means he has all the correct tools and shop 😂
A serious labor of love. Glad I stumbled onto this. Well done!
I remember watching this long ago but missed it getting finished. You know how good of a job you did on this car. I'm amazed at your mad skills to truly restore a car. I couldn't believe how little you replaced. I wish you lived closer so I could learn from you. My dad knows a lot about cars and he has taught me a lot but to see your work....you are truly a master artist to do this.
This was my dream car when I was 16. How cool to see one brought back to the 80s. I'm so glad you showed the bloopers. If I had tried this, that's all there would be and the car would still look like it did in the woods. Terrific job!
Nice name..... The first sounds Greek, the last Oriental. 👺
Absolutely WOW! You guys are awesome. This Fiero looks as though it came off the showroom floor. Amazing job!!!!
Impressive restoration. A total nut & bolt restoration in the truest sense of the word. You are intimately familiar with every single part of this car. Congratulations on a job well done! The Fiero looks beautiful!
