We Can Rebuild Him | 1985 Pontiac Fiero 2M4 Revival - Part 12

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Rebuilding a car is one of those things in life that actually is very much similar to the time that your friend said that one day you'll fully understand why so many things are how they are and amazing it is to take the time and answer any question with a question, but not this one?

    I know these are filmed well in advance, but I have an idea for you. Try to take the extra headliner that you're going to cut off later, and punch out a hole the same size as the screwdriver hole. A careful hand and some thin fabric adhesive may be able to make a pretty good plug for the hole. This project has been a huge inspiration for me and my MR2-Spyder :)

In this case, I am agreeing with several other commenters when I say that this has been one of the most entertaining series that I've watched! It's the total package: interesting content, good videography, and just the right touch of humor. My only complaint is that I have to wait for the next installment...

    This is my favourite resto on KZread by far. The time, effort, learning of skills, the ups and downs - it’s affected us all when working on cars and thus is so relatable and true. You have done a fantastic job so far and it really is a credit to you. The Fiero is always one of my favourite US cars - I live in the UK now but when I lived in South Carolina as a kid, a friend of the family had a brand new 1987 Fiero V6 in white. I was obsessed with that and the Grand Am of the time. Enjoying the progress and the wait is only making the outcome even more exciting! The aching arm at middle school had me in stitches 🤣 and I reckon its the rear view mirror AND floormats

You have a very unique way of being informational, while yet being absolutely hilarious & and I don’t think you get the credit you truly deserve so thanks for all you do especially all the behind the scenes 99.9% of ppl fail to see they would rather just complain bout something they get for free.. not this guy thanks for all this man it’s awesome content and I hope there’s much more to come.. so glad I found this hidden gem of a channel and only hope you at some point get the credit you deserve. Have a good one brother see you in the next one!!

There is still a lot of that, and a lot of love for a car that I miss every day, but Ronald is very likeable and personable; he couldn't host a late night comedy show but he would be the perfect guy to host a calm-you-down-after-work radio show for the drive home.
