Now, the Fiero may look pretty much exactly the same as it did at the end of Part 13, besides the addition of the fender liners, but I assure you that it's quite different!
As you all know, from the the previous update video, there's been a ...

Thank you so much for your patience. This episode was supposed to have gone out this past Friday, but editing, among other things, took a lot longer than expected. Hope it was worth the wait, though! Part 14 should be pretty quick to come out, and...

Filming is wrapped! The bulk of the work was actually wrapped up days ago, but I had just a few little details to work out today. But hey! It's done! The work at least. I'm sure there's still some random little footage I'll need to film for some B...

Here's a little project I worked on yesterday! Ever since I originally got the blasting cabinet, there's been a slight issue of not having a quality/functioning filter for it.
It pretty much fell apart and broke off right after getting it se...

A while back I attempted to fix the driver side seat reclining mechanism cover, but it didn't last too long. While JB Weld isn't a cure-all, I tried to treat it like one.

These past few days have been an emotional roller coaster ride of butyl rope, rivets, and shattering plastic. But, I think the ride is starting to smooth out.

Trim painting is coming right along! The largest parts were the hood, decklid, and front and rear bumpers. With those wrapped up, it's now just a bunch of little things, mainly all the little side moldings and the underside of the headlight doors ...

As you guys know, I've been finishing up the last bit of paint work on the Fiero. The toughest part for sure was definitely the trim on the front and rear bumpers. The decklid and hood were, comparatively, extremely easy. Just running tape along t...

Well, all the painting that will be shown in Part 11 will be done today. There's still some panels I have/want to re-paint for the quality to be up to my liking as well as all of the little trim pieces that need to be painted black.

If you've already seen my Instagram story, then you know that there was an indecent where the decklid fell when painting it, causing two corners of the piece to get really messed up.

2020-09-02 02:43:50 +0000 UTC View PostSo far, painting the car has been going really well, all things considered. With that said, I'm definitely having my fair share of issues. Luckily, it's really only on the clear coat, and it's things I can definitely fix!

I mentioned in the last roof repair video that there was one more thing I had to do in order to call this panel fully fixed!

If you ever have your chop-strand fiberglass roof lying around close to the floor in a tight corridor that you have to walk through, don't.

The bodywork has been the longest and most excruciating part of the entire Fiero project so far. Let me just say, it's a hell of a lot better watching it happen than doing it in the moment. And by moment, I mean over two and a half months. 2020-08-01 21:31:17 +0000 UTC View Post
