    Thanks to everyone commenting about the low tire pressure! I just aired it back up :) But it's been too long since the Fiero has made an appearance here!

      From memory, and that was a bvery long time ago, the radio has 2 fuses I do remember weird problems with the time display and it was the second fuse. I Love the Fiero had a 1984 and swapped it for a 1986 MR2.

      Absolutely 100% would love a house and garage renovation series. Your channel is closer to Adam Savage than anything else. It’s not a ‘how-to’ it’s more of a ‘what happened’ channel.

      You inspired me to pick up the other rear engined economy car that gm made, a 1963 corvair! I technically picked up two of them, one being a turbo car. I got a '57 ford last year as a first project. And it was fun, but i am far from finished.
      The turbo car is very rotten, with a very good motor, but the 500 model has a good body... and a bad motor.

    I jumped off the couch screaming “Yes, finally!” When I saw the 78 Datsun. The restoration of the Fiero was close to my heart watching the series all throughout highschool and hoping to get one of my own. It almost feels nostalgic getting excited for the 280z. I’m so excited to see what you will do and how the videos will turn out. make all of us proud to watch such amazing video quality as well as giving life back to that 280z.

    I miss my Fiero. No matter how many times that car died on me, no matter how many times it gave me headaches, I loved that car. Maybe it was the cool summer nights I spent working on it, maybe it was the how it always became a conversation piece, or maybe it was the memories I had around it. The memories of high school, where I didn't have a care in the world. Having to have the car jumped after school almost every day, with my friends around spraying the starting fluid for me. Taking the top glass off, feeling all 92 horsepower at the pedal driving to my minimum wage job. The brisk winter mornings mixed with the smell of exhaust fumes in the air. Having her in the car with me, her smile now lost in time. The Fiero signified a point in my life where I was simply content in existing, but like the Fiero, that feeling is now just a memory. A part of me is glad I sold it when I did, so that the memories of that car remained with those memories of a more peaceful time. But a part of me can never get over that car.

    I'm not a fiero fan or a motorcycle fan, but at the same time I'm not anti either of them. What I'm saying is for the exact reasons you were hoping that would come through in your content is why I will forever watch anything you put out. For me personally I'm anything mechanical, the level of detail you show, and the flow of your videos are what have always drawn me in. I am a gear head, so naturally I enjoy that aspect of it as well, so just know your hopes of what you are trying to convey from your channel is absolutely coming through. Also I like the shirt, I want one!

    I do think that while the motorcycles are just less popular outright, there was so much love and excitement in the Fiero series that made it such an absolute joy to watch.
    I think you should do both, for sure, because I love watching it all, and I think you should also do what you really WANT to do, too.

    "It's a lot more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow." Absolutely true. I love wringing out the gears in my 10 year old Civic. I'll be at the top of 2nd and only barely at highway speed on the on-ramps. Besides, I think it's way cooler that you've got the original engine. Everything gets an LS swap these days, but how much cooler it is that there's someone who _willingly keeps_ a Fiero with the Iron Duke, despite having the skills to do the swap.

    This all sounds a lot like my restoration journey of my 1986 Fiat X1/9, especially the way people react at shows. Many people walk by, but if they stop, they tell me about when they owned one in their youth or had a parent own one when they were young. Some people get down right emotional. Also, I kept the original hardware too. I polished every nut and bolt on a wire wheel, but nothing held up a year later. I should have used stainless. Thanks very much for the video series!!

    I went back to the first fiero episode to show my friend the series. I recently bought a fiero after being inspired by this series. I noticed while rewatching the first episode a few things. Red 85 fiero. U-Haul trailer. Tied to a tree to pull it off. By chance the fiero I got is an. 85. It's red. I got it with a U-Haul trailer. And my jeep was broken down so we tied it off and pulled the trailer out from under it🤣. I didn't remember you had done any of it till my friend pointed it out. Our cars also had the same tires..

  • @Begmar01
    @Begmar01 Год назад +88

    The motorcycle series was great, it'a a lot more accessible for most people to restore a bike rather than a car (especially old bikes) and as you pointed out even if you're not that much into motorcycles originally it's all about the work, learning how an engine goes together and can be refurbished, doing a carbs rebuild etc are transferrable skills and a bike doesn't take a whole lot of space in a garage plus you can take everything apart by hand not needing a lot of contraptions to lift a frame or an engine etc.
    Reallly excited about what's coming down the pipe Datsun Fairlady Z are amazing little machines ! Please keep mixing it up with bike restorations and even other shit as long as the prodution stays the same quality as it has been until now it will be enjoyed by many even if it makes a bit less views
    Love ot see the house renovation too please do make videos about that as well !
    For the Datsuns, you might already be aware of this but a couple of guys opened a shop dedicated to restoration of 240-260 and 280z in Georgia called Resurrected Classics, Tom Scott filmed an episode of Barn Find Hunters there and as it's a fairly new business and they are just out of college they probably would be up for a collaboration or something, at the very least they manufacture parts
    Good luck with everything, keep up the good work

As a fairly new homeowner myself, watching videos about that would definitely inspire me to tackle some more of my own home projects. My wife and I have a lot of ideas, but time, money, and lack of planning how we would actually approach them are the biggest constraints. I definitely came to your channel for the car content after seeing the first episode on the Fiero; I'm not a huge bike guy (although I have a huge soft spot for old Japanese bikes) but the motorcycle content has been nothing short of enjoyable.

    You did with that Fiero exactly like I did with a little cabin cruiser (boat). I kept walking by it at the marina where I kept my sailboat. I like the lines, but the boat was pretty totaled with a tree growing out of its deck. I finally tracked down its owner, bought it for a song, and spent months rebuilding it from top to bottom including its wrecked trailer. It turned out perfect and I enjoyed it for a number of years. So I understand exactly how you felt when you did the same to your car.

    Great to see it is still rolling around! From my experience, I think you've made the right call about not engine swapping the Fiero or making big changes. It is running and driving well, so just enjoy it!
    Something I've heard about R12 conversions is that R134a, being a much smaller molecule, will often seep through old hoses designed for R12. That was my experience with the 1991 Firebird when I messed with the AC system. Will a new replacement hose for a vehicle that came with R12 from the factory leak R134a or are modern materials good enough to not have that problem? No idea.
    Can't wait to see what you have coming out in the future, your work and presentation is always top-notch!

    I really miss mine I had when I was 17 to 21. I loved that car. Same as yours but mine was grey inside. Loved you’re video series! Thanks for sharing!

    Hey man, watched both the Fiero series and the GPZ series. Loved em both. Like you said, it's the editing, story telling, and the work put in that kept me watching. Sure there's a lot of people who do the same and don't go out of their way to tell ya. Keep up the good work, legitimately interested in the home building vids as well.

    Never clicked on a video this damn fast!
    Project has inspired me to get a Datsun 100a I wish to restore (largely inspired by My Summer Car). Your videos gave me the push I needed to get started. Great Content man!

    I am a motorcycle guy (never owned car in my life), so I was pleased that you did a bike. But you first hooked me with the Fiero build, despite having zero-interest in four-wheelers, for exactly the reasons you said: the problem solving, the mechanical stuff, and the great commentary.

    Who are you kidding? You did a GREAT job for a 1st time restorer! So cool you're planning on bringing the Fiero to the 40th anniversary show next year! Look forward to the next video! Congrats on the new place!!
    Oh yeah, LOVED the Bike series too!

    Dude. The Fiero is just beatyful. You did great job refurbishing it from rotting garbage to the present glory. You did a great project and filmed it for us to enjoy and that is something that few can do.

    The reason why I like this RUclipsr is we have the same year of stuff, I had a 1988 Ford Crown Vic in high school that gave out on me, now I have a 1985 Ford Crown Vic

    I agree with your comment about what you're working on vs. the work that goes into it: I don't care as much about what you're working on, but the attention to detail, any shortcomings or bloopers (i.e. when you panel fell while painting), your accomplishments, etc. Your videos are great. Keep up the exceptional content!

    Keep it as original, that is the best version for this thing. Just like my 1989 Miata, the original thing is simply the coolest, most fun version. Lots of excitement under the speed limits!

    Make whatever videos you want my friend. I enjoyed the whole Journey of this car. I've been away for awhile and didn't realize you had bike restoration going. I'll definitely check them out too. I have an old 1986 Yamaha Seeka that I would like to pick at. Your a great creator. An inspirational builder. I'll watch it all man.

    I can't believe people went out of their way to comment on how they don't like the bike videos. I for one am not a bike guy at all. But the way you put it was spot on. It's about the problem solving, the story telling, the progress, etc. I loved the bike videos and can't wait to see the first Datsun episode! Keep up the awesome work man and congrats on the new house!

    I love everything you had been doing with your channel. Even though I discoverd your channel with the Fierro's series, I become a little bit of a fan of your contents. Im addicted to your restoration video, besides Im a guy who loves DIY proyects, so the subscription to the second possible house renovation channel was a no brainer. Keep doing what you love man!

    This channel is a fantastic example of quality over quantity! Anything you’ve put out has been an absolute blast to watch. As a big fan I’d love to see you post more but I’m willing to wait for that quality. At this point it doesn’t matter what kind of content you’re making because I know it will be top tier and I’ll be watching. I appreciate all your hard work and can’t wait for the new series!

    Man, I discovered your videos after buying an 87 2M4 for $1500 a year and some change ago running and driving. Everything you said describes exactly how I feel about it. At gas stations having people come up to me and tell me about their Fiero they had in high school is so cool to me. Unfortunately, I'm at gas stations a lot, because the fuel tank is tiny and my fuel gauge is sketchy.

  • @patrickthomas7511
    @patrickthomas7511 Год назад +4

    Yeah, I watched the Fiero series as they came out, and it was a helluva ride to go through with you. And I've been enjoying the GPZ series as well, not because I'm particularly attracted to one over the other, but because you're the one doing them. Super stoked for the upcoming 280z and Tiburon content, and would love to see what you do with the house and the garage. And congratulations on your own place! Keep it up man!

  • @flounder31

    @RonaldFinger This is so reassuring to see after all this time. I remember when your Fiero series was just starting, and I had just gotten my 1981 DeLorean. We're looking for a house to move into the next few years and hopefully your videos will be inspiration for me to really tear my car apart and rebuild it from the ground up. I'd love to pick your brain more when I come into my own, and I hope you'll be willing to help a noob like me! Take care Ron!

    Just wanted to say that I don't care for either the fiero or the motorcycle but I've watched every episode of both series and patiently waited months and months and months between episodes because of how good you are at not only rebuilding vehicles but how thorough, entertaining and inclusive you are in your videos. I also really like how your constantly battling and killing alter egos of yourself and chuckled pretty hard when HE started walking into frame during the lightning round. Kudos inreally enjoy your editing camera skills and most importantly the wrenching. Keep at it man

    Non motorcycle guy here, I watched it in it's entirety, even though none of it was directly applicable to anything I would ever do, there was still plenty to learn about and be entertained by. Balancing the carbies was an interesting thing to watch. And yeah, while unpopular, I'd like to watch you set up your garage just so I can get ideas from that as well from my own.
    An aside, watching you paint the Fiaro is what inspired me to set up my own paint booth and give it a go on my own cars.

    oh man I was literally thinking to myself that its hard to find a good datsun rebuild series on youtube so I'm incredibly excited for watching one done by you! Been watching since the early days of the fiero and your videos do not disappoint!

    I reckon a garage build would fit in perfectly on this channel tbh - it's literally the fingerprints workshop, after all!!! 😁
    The new builds look excellent, really interesting and intriguing... As does whatever you've been getting up to with the house!

    I miss my 1985 Fiero 2M4 SE 5-speed so much. It wasn't fast, it was just an amazing cruiser. Pontiac "swirl" wheels and cruise control instead of AC, aside from silver body color it was basically identical to yours. I changed the clutch, replaced main and con rod bearings, timing gears, cam and lifters, every ball joint and tie-rod end in that thing. I can pull the Iron Duke from the top in less than 2 hours and have it back in the car in 3 hours.
    My boyfriend at the time was amazed by that, sitting in the garage and talking with me and at times even getting dirty under the car, and then we cruised to the Second Cup on Church at Wellesley in downtown Toronto where we met up with a friend with a 1986 2M6 SE. As you know, that first drive after any major work, you're watching the gauges like a hawk. My little Silver Dart was fine. That thing took me from Maine to Michigan and to work hundreds of times.
    I am 6'4" tall and 175lbs. I get into most cars and my head is on the headliner. Fiero is absolutely the most ergonomic car this freakishly tall man has ever driven.
    The car had over 500,000km on it when I had to let it go in 2002, and that was only due to life events, I was already good at working on the car and would have kept it on the road.
    Please... add a third brake light. Please.
    I admire you and your work.
    And here's your dose of Pet Shop Boys. This played many times in my Fiero. :)
