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.

Fix the roof of your Lambo, i started watching years ago when you were working on it and still not done hahahaha

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.

I just turned 70 and have been around cars my whole life. My father was a professional auto painter, so I know what it is like to take 3 years and restore a car. That being said , Ronald you leave me full of hope, you are just a great kid with all the qualities we all hope our own kids will have. I don’t know you but I am proud of what you accomplished. You will never forget these last 3 years and every time you think back about the project, I hope it’s always with a smile. Thank You❗️🇺🇸 Oh , there’s no crying in car building 😆

On a site full of content that does not amount to anything past views, I was lucky enough to find a series that has genuinely touched lives. You thank us for watching, but I thank YOU for making this. I am much more interested in developing talents in the automotive field because of how you've shown its impact. YOU HAVE CHANGED LIVES. Thank you, Ronald.

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.

Haha, you are an inspiration, looking forward to your next project, whatever it may be, good on ya Ronald! and thanks for the hours of entertainment!.

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!!

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 feel bad about crying, Ron. You weren't the only one. And if cars could speak, yours would be singing your praises and thanking you as well. Thank you for having us along for the highs and the lows. :)

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.

This project was incredible to binge. I started out just last night looking up restoration projects because I wanted to maybe own a Fiero myself. Instead I got an emotional docu-series on your journey from an abandoned mess to a beautiful functional machine, and every emotion along with it from happiness, to sadness, to disappointment, to anger, to relief. Thank you for making this.

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!

I came for the Fierro. I stayed for the sincerity, the honesty. So many would shy away from their failures, their mistakes, mask their emotions. Not you. Thank you for allowing all of us to go on this journey with you. Through the highs and the lows. Can't wait to see what happens next.

This is hands down one of if not THE best project series on KZread. The cinematography, the process, the willingness to show mistakes. Its amazing

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

Hey Ronald, you’ve heard so many stories like this already but one more never hurt, eh? My dad and I have watched your videos since you started the fiero series. To the point that in an awkward silence, he would say, “any new fiero videos?” Thanks for sharing your journey with us, and for your passion for what you do. You’re an inspiration.

When this video first came out, I got a notification about it. I also started watching it and then decided it deserved more dedicated time than I could really give it, so I stopped a couple of minutes into it. Tonight I found it again and had time for it. Well worth the wait. I am so proud of you for doing this project. What you did with this project is what I'm doing to my 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I am $4,000 and two years deep into my project so far and still going. This gives me hope.

I'm glad YT recommended this series way back when; what an awesome ride.

You may be done using this car as a storytelling instrument, but there is no denying that in one form or another the car you are left with is in itself now a story. I imagine that you'll get approached at random gas stations, parking lots, and any Cars and Coffee you attend by people who took the emotional ride of this build along with you. 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. Your videos are fantastic and I can't wait to see what you point your camera at next! Enjoy the Fiero!

Man.. that was a good series to watch.. I bingewatched the whole thing over three nights..

In January 1985, I sat in a Fiero for the first time. I loved the cockpit and the six-speaker sound system. I ordered a brand new 2M5, all black, and took possession in April. I also had a BMW 320i which I could not bring myself to sell, so I had both of them for several years. Tough choice to make every morning about which one to drive to work. The Fiero was great in the snow (because of the mid-engine), but not so great in the rain (because of the 60-series tires). I owned that car for 22 years, and drove it for 20. I gave it to a friend after I ran out of space in my driveway. I would love to drive one just one more time.

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. Take care,stay safe.

Part 1 of this series randomly popped up in my feed today. It's now just past 2:00am and I'm finished. Smiled the entire time. I drove one of these for a while brand new when I was 16. 52 now and heading to Autotrader before bed. Many thanks for that journey. It was greatly enjoyed.

So a friend saw my post and had seen this series and told me about it just yesterday. I think I watched a couple yesterday, but I’ve just spent the last 14 hours binging through this entire series. I’ve gotta say, this one was emotional. I’m so envious of your “can-do” attitude. Whoever inspired you to be like that, be very thankful!

THANK YOU! I've had my 84 2M4 for 6 years now. She has always needed a TON of work. But as I am very inexperienced, I've always been timid and lacked the courage to start doing any real work on it. To say this series has helped me would be an understatement. Not only have you given such great details and insight, but you also provided me with something I couldn't sum up myself. The courage to dive in and start working. I am right now in the middle of replacing the valve cover gasket, vacuume lines, and even fabrication of my very own battery try! (Also my first ever car part fabrication). Yes push came to shove, and my battery was about to fall out, and the valve gasket was leaking so bad oil was spilling out onto the exhaust, so I had to do something! But i 100% believe I couldn't have gotten to where I am with my daily driver/project without you. I am forever grateful for you and the time you put into these videos. I absolutely Love my Fiero and I can't express how great of a feeling It is to be finally making mine better. Thank you so much. ❤

Ok, I cried. After 3 years (wow!), 2 house moves, covid, a heart stroke, lots of changes in life...This project ended. I confess I waited eagerly for each episode. I got lots of tools because of you, did a lot of repairs thinking on your fiero, admired your level of detail and dedication...And now this is over, no more fiero videos. Congratulations, you deserve each little part of that. You're a hero to me. Greetings from Brazil! =D

I've also watched the video series on the GPZ1000RX and the garage rework as well, and they're all so well put together. Keep up the awesome work man, but more importantly, take care of yourself :)

This deserves a place on the KZread Hall of Fame. This articulate and brilliant young man taught us that anything is possible. Get in there. Get your hands dirty. Break a few rust bolts. Fix 'em. Just, go for it. You can do it! Live and learn. Who cares if it doesn't end up saving you money. It's all about the hobby and experience.

This is genuinely the only KZread series I've ever watched where I actively anticipate the next videos and find myself watching it over and over. Great job man.

Thanks for keeping this 65 year old interested and impressed. All associated with you should feel lucky and proud to be a part of your life.

It is quite an inspirational story

I really remember seeing a lady have a brand new one her husband bought her. It was a cool looking car back then. I heard about her telling my friends that it burn up not long after. I have a 2am 6 today. I wanted to do what you did. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

Why not. You found a beautiful car that you made better than new. You made a piece of scrap into a showroom quality car. And now you have a car that has a personal story and a nice retro futuristic personality. Drive it well. Love it, and the car will love you too. Don't sell it man. This is something you own now.

As a Combat Marine (Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, etc....) I can tell you to always show your emotions. The day the 1970 Ford F-100 that belonged to my Dad (who had passed) got sold and was driven off by strangers made me cry harder than I had in years. Well done, young man. Bravo Zulu.

Well done, Ronald. I hope you enjoy the heck out of that little Fiero for many years to come.

Ron, I wouldn't have missed one of your videos for anything! This is a beautiful ending to a beautiful story. Enjoy that little gem for many years to come. You worked extremely hard on it and the results are most gratifying. It looks beautiful! Take care and happy Fiero-ing!!!

started watching the series at 8 am sunday morning, its now 9pm sunday evening, what a series, thanks algorithm for giving me this treat of a channel to watch

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking us a long during this rebuild. I really enjoyed it. You did an amazing job. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers from a Swedish guy who recently found your channel.

Is it weird that i literally feel in mourning after the series is finished?! I truly hope Ronald does his magic with some other treasures for us in the future.

Okay, when you started crying at the end I thought for a second that you'd fucked something up and were upset. Congratulations, man. You did it.

i think episode 2 had just gone live when i first saw this project. Nice work Ron. The bit that still sticks in my mind was the wash episode, one of the most satisfying car washes on youtube

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.

Never been so proud of a total stranger. You are an incredible storyteller and a heck of a machanic.

This series has seen me through 2 girlfriends, 3 different tattoos, literally having Rona’, moving 3 different times, and has been there when I wanted to distract myself from immeasurable lows or the best highs. Thanks for sticking to it, and putting out videos even when you didn’t feel like it. Without your dedication to make them, this serious wouldn’t have become what it is today, and I think the series ender did it justice in closing off that chapter in your life and ours. Thanks for the amazing videos so far, I look forward to the new projects you come up with!

just finished a 3rd watchthrough, still the best car content on youtube

Paint and interior pieces can always be addressed at a later time, having a running/driving is the MOST important aspect to any vehicle!

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

This series has inspired me to work on a basket case CBR600 F4i basket case that I was worried I could never fix alone. Thank you Ronnie :D

I just binged this series all day today, you are awazing and you did a great job!

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.

I don't care who you are. This man is a legend. He is so humble that he still added the miles back to his odometer. ❤️ You deserve a damn award and some.

I just found one of those deals that everyone seems to talk about...which I never imagined that I would ever find. An old couple looking to get rid of 2 (two) 85 Fiero GTs for the price of less than one. One runs and the other is...close to running. I've binged all your videos...they've been an inspiration. I can't wait to start my own journey! Thank you!

I started watching this series soooo long ago. When u started crying at the end I couldnt help but shed a tear. Its not often you see such genuine emotion on youtube.

If you're new to the series and you're watching this, just know how blessed you are to binge-watch this and not have to wait the years, like most of us had to, to see this last video.

What an emotional rollercoaster. Now to do the same thing I always do when a new episode comes out... go back and watch the entire fiero series. Amazing job. Godspeed Spiderman

When Ronnie cried after the last bolt was put into place my immediate thought was, “Oh no, he put the old motor in.”

You know... I don't know where this all comes from, and you aren't the first person to keep saying "I don't want to toot my own horn" or "I don't want to be too 'look what I did' " It's so sad to put so much work, so much learning...and to feel ashamed for feeling some pride? Bah! Bah I say! Toot your horn, sing how great of a job you did. You took a dead car, put it to life and made it look AMAZING for what you started with... and what skills and knowledge you had at the time... this is a phenomenal job. Like I mentioned in a few videos back, at 17, 17! I rebuilt an 85 Dodge Daytona with very little help. My father helped when I needed another set of hands, but he pushed me to read books and ask questions of people I could find (remember, the internet wasn't exactly like it is now back in 1999). Sing. Dance. Toot thine horn! Congrats, dude. My only sadness in this; I wasn't along for the ride.

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.

What´s bezel? I only know Becel (some kind of butter) or Brezn (a baked, weird shaped thing to eat you get in Bavaria)

Waited till today to finally watch because it's sad that such a compelling story as this has to come to an end. But sure, like you'd said, just the "end of the beginning!" A truly awesome testimony of work ethic, fortitude and old fashioned hard labor. Many congrats!!

just watched this whole series for the first time. This series is one of the most important pieces of media I have ever watched. I can’t put it into words how much this has made an impact on my life. I’m so happy I can rewatch this whenever I feel lost in my life so i can find a way back. Maybe one day i can restore my own project. Thank you
