These are HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS! (Updated 11/13)
Both of the vertical support pieces that go behind the aero nose and bolt to the front impact beam.
The impact absorber is good, but the plastic braces are bad. Need both, ASAP...

The lower metal shields should be in good shape, but if anyone has them in GREAT shape, please ship them up as well... Never hurts to have spares on hand.

Other items needed are: Prayers and well wishes.

I have an idea to help out member 2.5fierose a.k.a Tyler Shipman. Please reference the thread below for the story. Please P.M. me for the idea that I have and how you can help, as I would like Tyler to not know what I am doing. Thank you.

Some music to set the mood...

Hi everyone,

I'm putting an official list together here of parts needed for Tylers car to get it restored to as nice as possible in the soonest time posssible. Any people from Minnesota that would be able to help Tyler out mechanically would be a GREAT help! If anyone has a nice clean part that is in good condition on this list, please let me know. Right now I have a P.M. to Tyler to get his address, and I will not post it in here, but once I get it you can P.M. me and I will give it to you so you know where to send your parts. I want this done at no expense to Tyler, so please help if you have something you can donate towards this effort.

Thank you all in advance for your help. Let's help Tyler out!!!!!

Fastback or notchie for the tail lights?

Fastback

I wish I had some GT parts, but I might be able to lend a hand repair it. It will be about a 3 to 4 hour drive. I'll talk to my twin (1984redsc) and see if he would be willing as well.
I might have a set of barely used injectors from a Buick Century 3300 V6. I wonder if they will work.

Any help you can give is excellent! I spoke to my wife today and we would like to fly out for a long weekend and help him once I get home, just have to see what our schedules are like. Also today, I am acquiring a parts car at my house, so I'll see what I can come up with once I get home and rip the car apart. Thank you to all that have responded to this thread and for the PM's. Let's show Tyler that we won't leave PFF family members behind!

Hulki U. My-BFF check your PM's

Yep and keep checking your PMs.

So when will you be back?

I am available Nov 21st weekend.

[This message has been edited by 2.5 (edited 10-31-2009).]

I have front LH & RH front signal turn lights let me know where to send them will use Priority 3 day shipping. I also have a 3.1L motor for parts and a 5 speed Isuzu tranny....

2.5 You have a PM.

I am currently working out getting a shipping address for anyone who is looking to send parts. I will let you know in this thread and via PM when I get an address to ship to. Thanks everybody, we're really rolling on this!!

Andy

Maybe getting Tyler's mom home address ...that way all the parts will get there and you will be able to install them on location.

Danyel, you have a PM.

You have a PM.

I have a set of dark gray/ light gray velour seats. They are in really good condition but they have some stains on the light gray seat part. If someone wants to send the tail light lenses, I think I can do a decent job of polishing them. I practiced on a really scratched up lens tonight and it came out pretty well.

Jonathan

Parts list updated and bump

I got a window. If there are none that are closer let me know. It would most likely break during shipping

Ill see if I can pull a window next time I run to the yard. Ill just butcher up one of the notch clips to get it done faster. Hulki you have PM about a diffrent subject pertaning to this.

[This message has been edited by pontiackid86 (edited 11-01-2009).]

Thanks guys!

PK, PM returned.

Hey guys!!!!! wow I just read this topic you guys are really stepping up!

I will talk to Tyler today and see where he thinks we should send the parts. We will have to work on the car either in Detroit Lakes (my friend's body shop) or at my house just a little out of town. I will definitly try to get some pictures of the car up by tomorrow and make a close list. As far as a build day or work day I saw the day of the 21st thrown out there. That would be absolutly awesome if we could get that going that soon, but we will need to make sure to have everything in line that day so we can really tear into it. Lets see what we get pulled together this week and decide. By the looks of it you guys are ready to make it happen.

Someone asked about setting up a paypal donation system. I don't really know how to do that? I will look into it more today. I do have a paypal account, but I think I will probably make a new one just for Tyler.


One thing that I see we overlooked is the Headliner in the car. I have recovered them in the past, but can't say I am a pro! Any tips tricks or ideas? I am going to see if the auto parts store in Detroit Lakes will donate a little.

Once again thanks guys! Lets keep this ball rolling!

Parts list updated.

Thanks for the response, Nick. I sent you a PM back regarding this. As for the headliner, it could be as simple as new foam and material, but we really need to find out what the headliner board condition is. I know Pep Boys sells a headliner refinishing kit if the board is okay.

man you have a lot of free time in the sandy beaches of iraq

i cant do much, but i can give you a bump from kuwait

Kuwait??????????? That's right, you lucky SOB, you're going home!!!!! Have a safe trip, man!! Enjoy your time at home, and maybe will see you in Afghanistan.

I talked to Tyler this morning and we are going to have the parts sent to my house. Someone will always be around (Tyler's family is really busy as you can imagine) and the car will most likely be at my house soon.

The shipping address for any parts is:

Nick Butze
21686 Black Beauty Ln.
Detroit Lakes, MN 56501

Lets keep this going guys!

Thank you so much Tyler is really excited to get that fiero in shape

I already had the turn signals shipped directly to his house. So please inform his family to be on the lookout for them. They went out Priority mail.

Yeah that's no problem I will run over and pick them up when they come in Thank you for the turn signals!!! When bigger pieces come in they will most likely need to be signed for and the hospital Tyler is at is about 50 miles away from home. He might get to come home on Tuesday!

Thanks guys!

Where would they be landing? If it is in minneapolis, maybe 1984whitesc could pick them up and give them a ride if needed. If it were closer to me, I could give them a ride as well. Just trying to help :P

I'm pretty sure Minneapolis is where they would be landing. They can only fly United with this deal, so it's anywhere that United has inbound and outbound flights to. Thanks, Dave! That helps immensely!!!!

I have both right and left GT rocker's in grey with the steel mount bars. Tehy are in good shape - no breaks or cracks and look like they wll clean up nice. I can send them in the AM! One or both just let me know.

Pat

I messed up - I do not have the rockers - I have the door trim pieces. I'll keep digging.

[This message has been edited by katatak (edited 11-01-2009).]

o.k. I have a set of GT Rockers that I took off my car. They are in great shape except my car is a choptop. I think the inside of the door area part have been cut for the chop. I can send them if you think it will help or if it would be better than what he already has. They would need paint. If you want to see pics of them first just let me know.

Here are a couple of posts from the original thread, I have copied into here for those just monitoring this thread:

- I just fired off an email to Mr. Mike asking if he can help with a pair of seat covers for the car.

- I was wondering how to set up a PayPal account, or some other way for donations to be made, as a way for forum members to make donations to help cover parts and supplies that no one has on hand. (Could be used to cover the cost of the paint mentioned in a previous post). I am ready to make a donation as soon as something is in place.

- I have contacted the FieroStore to see if there is any assistance that they can provide.

- I would like to contact some of the local news stations to see if the are interested in doing a Human Interest story on this.

If anyone else coordinating something, please email me at JohnWPB -AT- Gmail dot com. This way we can tackle it together, and keep everyone updated.

NEXT POST
-------------------------------

Ok, I contacted their local area newspaper with links to this page, his journal page, a variety of photo's from that page, info on the fund raiser on November 15th, and the info for the local bank that is taking donations under his name. I compiled all of this for them in the hopes of them doing a human interest story.

I also enhanced the photo of Tyler in his Fiero, so you can actually see him in the car now

[This message has been edited by JohnWPB (edited 02-03-2018).]

When you find out if my gray seats will work for you, could someone donate the postage? I'm between jobs.

Thanks,

If no one else wants to Id be more than willing to fly out there and help for this cause.

I have a good headliner, its gray and has been recovered. The back of it isn't perfect. It doesn't sag at all, looks smooth and new, but has a small spray of glue on it, not noticeable in the car. I would gladly give it to him, but cannot afford to ship it, please PM me if this is needed, and maybe we can figure out a way to get it to him.

I could head out there if noone else has jumped on it. any news on the rear glass?

Well I want to see about what I can do about flying out there or greyhound to help out with this. $ is going to be the deciding factor in the end, time I have (unemployed) I also want to see about what I can do as far as getting all the parts he needs that iIcan get from a junk yard. I might be able to manage a rear window and a bunch of other things. My local yard has about 6 fieors in it right now that I can get parts for cheap out of. I think it would be a good learning experiance for me (not that I dont know what im doing) and would also be able to help another fiero enthusiest with his dream of getting his fiero back on the road. I Think thats the least he could ask in this situation. Again ill make the trip Ill stay a few days get a bunch of stuff done. Plus in the cold I go into my insomneac stage where I can stay up long hours. Well see what happens i have to see what kinda funds I can scrape together.

As of right now, I am still waiting for Nick to post up some pictures, and give me an updated list of parts so I can update the list on this thread. Also waiting to find out the color of the interior, looks to be gray from the pics, but I want to be sure. Also, to all that have parts to ship if you could please send me a PM. Thanks,

Andy
