Born too late to explore earth, born too early to explore space, born just in time to binge the 1985 Fiero 2M4 Revival series

For added safety when using wire to hold the spring compressed you could have braided together 2 or more strands. This is _much_ stronger than a single strand and will increase the margin for safety.

Young man... I want to thank you for sharing all of this with us here on YT. When I was your age I was building hot rods out of whatever I could get my hands on. I started with a 1965 Chevy Truck that I took the 283cid out of and half way rebuilt- heads mainly. I put it in a 1977 Buick Skylark, which is about the same as a Nova. That was car #1. Next I built an Oldsmobile and transplanted that same 283 from a wrecked Buick into the Olds. Of course, I did a complete rebuild of the engine the second time around. Then, my third task was a 1986 Buick Regal with all the power options and plush seats. I built an LT-1 350 and put in it. I didn't fix the rear end gears for hot rodding but I could do 73MPH in first gear with an automatic trans. Now, with old age and disability, I can only live through the experiences of others and your project has been a blessing to me. Thank you Sir. It is appreciated!

Actually GM never wanted to approve this project at all. GM was still smarting from their Chevrolet Corvair failures, so sponsoring another small two seater car was not at the top of their priorities. Also Chevrolet was not keen on having a smaller, cheaper, sporty two-seater cannibalizing their new for '84 C4 Corvette. Pontiac was prepared to build the car without GM support before finally giving the car it's blessing.

This is the revival series that nobody knew they wanted but sure glad they got.

What I love about the editing is with the use of 80s retro wave music. I feel like I’m watching an old TV show.

I know it's strange to pick this particular thing to comment on, but that trunk lock repair job was SEXY

Dude, I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed watching your journey. I am impressed with your choices, your ability to learn, and your execution. Nice job, keep up the good work!

I need to go back and make sure I "liked" every video of this project. Well done.

Seeing young guys like yourself carrying on the tradition and craft of auto restoration gives me hope that there are still true gearheads out there.

Songs: 25:35 - LoFive - "Yhello" 33:18 - The Outro Music: Rijko - "Code Red" Why do I know this? I just bought both songs.

You just do what makes you happy. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy you making the Fiero hot again 👌🏼

I have truly enjoyed watching you restore this car. Thank you.

I saw this on Friday Night, and was like, yuss, must watch later. I just finished watching this episode, and I've got to tell you, as a person with a project car myself. I wish I had a shop and tools like yours. You rock.

Funny coincidence, I had both a ‘74 Challenger and an ‘84 2M4 Fiero. The Challenger was a definite muscle car, but the 2M4 was a nimble little road carver that got wicked mileage. I would cruise anywhere in the Pontiac, the Dodge was a bit gas hungry for much more than traffic light prowling!

I never thought I would care so much about a Fiero. Keep it going Ronnie! We need content during these dark times!

These videos makes me so happy. It is so much fun seeing someone working hard, and getting an awesome result that they love. And you can tell there is a lot of pride going into the work.

I grew up in a fiero like this because my mom owned one along with her best friend . Then I bought a 85’ V6 and painted black with black tinted windows , blacked the tail lights and pit performance rims on it back in 2009. It got a lot of stares when I drove it in SF.

"It's in every Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, and Saturn... It's shiny, it's blue, and it's beautiful." Except for the parts that are brown, rusted out, and hiding collision damage.

Im pretty sure 80s GM cars didn't have the best fitment out of the factory anyway. Send it. Look fine to me honestly.

When I was a young lad like yourself, I restored a 1964 Malibu SS with factory bucket seats, 4 speed on the floor, factory in dash AC and a 327 V8. I pretty much stripped it of all parts and cleaned, painted, replaced everything. Interior, glass, door and window seals and felts, seat covers, headliner, carpet, dash the whole shabang. It was a lot of work and money and fun. The sad part is back then which was 1984 and 85 there was no internet. I had to get all my info from books I bought at the books store and that was it. It was barely any info and pretty basic. You have no idea how good you have it these days with youtube and the internet. Great job by the way.

Been watching, since the beginning ron. Your voice soothes my anxiety and makes me want to get more done with my cars. Thanks bud.

R.Finger man. This was maybe my favorite in this series so far. You did what the factory said was possible from the beginning and what a lot of us wished we had or could do. Time didn't make it easy for you, but you did it. Thanks for letting us watch all of this..

A +30 minute video for us is a real treat. Thank you for keeping us up to date! I’m loving the car more and more.

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast in my life. I am very impressed with the work and am inspired to actually continue my love for cars

You have already given that car more love than 99.99% of the population would have. You don't owe anyone anything. Build it as you see fit! Love the videos!

Dude. You have the patience of a Saint. I would have pulled my hair out a long time ago! Can wait to see the finished product. I miss my 85 Fiero GT that I used to have in College.

Don't worry Ronny, I had an '82 Firebird with the same 2.5 liter and 4 speed and the engine never idled properly. I got that car when it was only two years old as well.

It might not have idled correctly by design, but it can definitely be made to idle correctly with modification.

great work and dedication to do a thorough job. Just be careful welding on the car. Always disconnect the battery. You can inadvertently fry computers and other sensitive electronics. I had to do a little surgery on my 2000 Audi A8's instrucment cluster after tack-welding up a trailer hitch. Took it off to finish weld, but just the bunch of tacks I did caused the cluster power supply to go on the fritz.

I just wanted to say before I dive into this video. Ron, this series and your channel has been and everlasting inspiration and fuel of my fire in restoration and cars.

I will never do a car revival, but hope you understand why so many will live their dreams through your work. Outstanding job.

If you let yourself worry about something not being perfect it will eat away at you. People aren't going to notice a small detail that's off. You are always going to be your hardest critic. You've done a great job. Be proud of that.

You are an amazing young man!! Kudos to you for tackling this project!!

just like to put this out there and i’m sure millions would agree too, but theres no better feeling than scrolling thru ure yt feed and seeing that u posted something !!

I've watched this whole series within 2 days, this has gotten me excited and a little more optimistic about working on my Fiero, I'm putting a GM 3.8 L in mine though :)

Another great video - I've really enjoyed this entire series. I was genuinely surprised at just how much of the bodywork could be removed! Looking forward to your experiences with painting and re-trimming. Don't forget the slow window motors/glass tracks and rubbers while the doors are apart...

I love watching your video on this....I had a 1985 fiero growing up and reliving my time driving the car for a couple years. I never fixed my headlights and still wanted to be "Cool" so i carried a small tool that i could slide in the top cap piece to crank them up and down :) Thanks for the awesome content!

Thanks for your series. I'm from the UK and had never heard of a Fiero before you started this one. I think it's a funky little car and love it. you have done so much work repairing and detailing the mechanical parts of this car. The bodywork looks straight(ish) and a reasonable coat of paint will give you a nice driver car. Me.. I think cars are to be driven, same as bikes are meant to be ridden.. they aint no good sat in a garage all shiny and covered in dust sheets. get 'em on the road and get 'em dirty.. good honest road dirt... keep it up.. this has been one of my life savers when sat at work on a dull night shift..
