RALLASTER GOT OVERHAULED!

Pics and video inside.

I was recently asked to be a mediator for a soon to be build to keep the anonymity of the person putting this together. Can anybody say... "Fiero Overhaulin"? Myself and a few other PFF members have decided to help out a fellow member. Sadly i can't say too much other then this car needs love in the worst way and the owner is going to have to sell it to get a different car soon if nothing is done. I scrapped my recent plans of flying out somewhere else for this because i believe a vacation can wait when it's something worthwhile. Now I'm flying further out and going to be assisting other PFF members in making another members dream come true in his/her time of need. This started as a simple "hey, lets fix his/her car for him/her" but now has turned into "let's overhaul it and give him/her the car they've always wanted". Not really a big stretch between the two either. I'm not the orchestrator of this event but that person can not post due to the fact that it would give it away to the unsuspecting member. This will all be taking place the last weekend of may. Been reschedule for the first weekend of June. So i don't have a lot of time to get it all together. Late notice i know, but it'll be worth it.

From what I'm told we have most of the parts other then what i've posted below. We're going a tan and black theme with a black car.(only need the carpet) Not too much of a stretch since the car is already black but it needs new paint. The interior is your common gray/black right now but it's getting completely refinished. The motor (2.5) is going to need to be redone. So a local (to there) machine shop offered to help cost will be $200 to rebuild.

If you would like to donate my paypal info is below. For shipping info if you have parts please PM me. All who donate will be posted here (unless you don't want that) I will put a running total on here but I wont single anybody out for their amount donated unless they want me to. Every little bit will help and whatever is left over is going to the person in question to help offset their bills. None of us are going to make anything off of this build other then knowing we did a good deed.

I'm more excited then a 7yo at christmas.... Can't wait to be a part of this and to see the look on his/her face. Sorry i can't give more info out publicly, i would love to but any misstep can ruin everything.

AWESOME! Wish I could help. My budget wont allow it. It really doesnt allow me to work on mine. Yet alone anothers. You guys rock. This is the very reason I love this community and the people in it.

Thank you guys for the quick responses. One step closer... wheels acquired. First post updated.

I'm not quite sure what I could do being 1000 miles away from you, but I do have a lot of good parts so please be sure to let me know if there's anything you need or something I can do to help.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....I LOVE THIS FORUM!!

------------------
May the Lord guide me where I must go. May the Fiero get me there in style

Ty everybody who replied and PM'ed already. Now i guess we only need donations to cover some costs and a set of tires. We got a quote of $200 to rebuild the extra motor that was donated so it'll run like new. Getting more excited by the hour.

I love this kind of stuff

I was just asked about posting my paypal address in the thread... not sure if that's a good idea as it's a public forum. Anybody had any experience with that?

I think you can post the address, I've seen it done a few times, some people just post it as name (at sign) yahoo dot com. So it can't be easily found.
Maybe someone else will chime in about it too.

Love what you are doing here for the other owner, thanks for doing what you are doing. I am cash strapped, but also have a stash of parts, and if I have what you need, it's yours.

Thank you guys... right now all we're looking for are tires, interior clips and exterior molding clips.

Thank you 2.5 for being the first person to donate. Ever little bit helps. Either way this is getting done between myself and the others but cost offset is greatly appreciated. I know it's hard to donate when details are sketchy and i've never done something like this but i can promise pictures, hopefully video and the money and parts ARE going to the unsuspecting member. I can give more info in PM's but it has to stay quiet to this person.

TTT

I'm going to be following this one closely

PayPal sent

Thank you very much. After this post i'll send you a PM with more info.

Parts list just got worse. Please see first post.

Small bump... still looking for parts.

Paypal sent.

Thank you very much datacop!

Now were getting somewhere!

Just called the fiero factory. very friendly people. If all goes well with the quote i asked for and it's not too high we might still be able to pull off the tan interior! Keep your fingers crossed!

So far we're doing ok. There are still parts needed and i update the first post as often as i can. Any more help would be greatly appreciated! This is going to mean a lot for one of our own!

Lucky enough we have the engine paid for and some other parts as soon as i can order them this week. Thank you guys who helped so far.

2 1/2 weeks till i leave NY for a 4 day weekend... i can't wait to make one of our own extremely happy! Time is just not moving fast enough for me.

Bump.. any more information?

Not much yet. Ordered headlight motors from a member here (name to be released when they are shipped) for the cost of shipping. they need some work but nothing hard to do. The orchestrator of this event has started painting the exterior with the help of some local member(s). By the end of this week i'll be ordering a lot from the fiero store to ship out there. No sense in ordering it bit by bit and getting swamped in shipping charges.

Wait a minute here.... so you guys have already received the car and started the build?

Nope... one of the local members there offered up a body so they could get started on the bolt on paint job. I've seen another pic but can't really post it due to it possibly giving it all away. Darn reflections. I'll PM the other one.

You have a PM

Well got some more stuff coming. Headlight motors, molding clips, and decals! Still waiting to hear if i can post some names though. Like i said in the first post i won't post a name without permission.

When do you get to spill the beans?! Can't wait!

I leave NY on 6/2 and i'll be able to spill everything on the 4th. I so can't wait! PM sent with more details!

This is TORTURE! ! !

I'll be waitin' and wathin'.

Tell me about it! I send updates to people who donate and request one.

Seriously can't wait for the reaction.

Two weeks from today for the start of the build. Still can't wait.

It's been a couple of days so i figure a small bump is in order.

Just ordered Fiero Thomas's visors and headliner kit. Ordered Diy_stu's wipes, rear tires are on their way. Still fighting a dash, carpet, manual window/mirror interior door panels and GT auxiliary gauge pod with pigtail. I only have till 6/2 to have all the parts there.

More to come.

Another two day bump.... would like to keep this off of page 4 but i don't wish to be annoying about it.

Tires just arrived at the location., fiero store order is in and should be there in a couple of days. Also, i just ordered bulbs from Rodney. I think we will be ok as soon as i can get a bead on tan carpet, a seat belt latch, a half way decent dash and i have a lead on the auxiliary gauges now.

I wish i could help, because this sounds interesting. Unfortunately, being here in Oklahoma, it just isn't practical. Good luck and I am one of the legion waiting on the thread to go into high gear.

Ty! This will be interesting. Can't wait to get some things posted and mention where i'm going. Some things i was going to post but there are a few here that will do some research and figure it out too quickly. I'll shoot ya a pm with what's going on so far.

Edit: have to add. I'm just glad this isn't being ignored. Who else is waiting and watching?

Me!
