hiya! just wanted to give a shout out to all the fellow Fiero owners on this forum, and I gotta say being on here and seeing all your amazing Fiero's I've never felt so many emotions at once.... envy, jelousy, astonishment, amazement, and wide eyed enjoyment! makes my Fiero look like a Lada! LOL anyways I will be asking a lot of questions regarding mods I want to do to my 85 GT that I picked up and so you will be seeing a lot of me! take care all and keep up the amazing mods!

It looks like you've done the link right, but I think that security features on that site don't allow external links. They have "right click" disabled as well, so I didn't get far. Even a "right click disabler" didn't overcome that.

ok so the first thing I plan on doing is getting it fully inspected by my mech. and if he says its all good then I will drop some money into it by adding new rims and tires (can't stand the rims on it now) and then shortening my shifter (tiny bit too high) replacing my radio and I need new dew wipes and some interior stuff like new seat covers and speakers and I know I need new struts and shocks and then she will be good as new... the body and interior are in great shape for the year and the previous owner really took good care (so it seems) so there isn't TOO MUCH that needs to be done on her... oh! and I need possibly new headlight motors as the one I have now go down, but it doesn't go up... or maybe is it just the relays that need replacing? oh! and last but certainly not least is new headliner redone... mine is shot! if any of you pro's have any suggestions please let me know, I will be taking pics of the front storage compartment as it looks very very clean! and the engine compartment too!
C'mon, you can do it. You're a computer tech. What's the problem you're having?
well I used the PIP app and still the pics are not being shown! this is the ONLY forum I can't seem to post pics on! every other forum you can just upload the pics no problem or I use BBC codes and that isn't working here LOL is there a "how to" here on posting pics?
please tell me what are the steps...im probably missing a step
Is the name of your image actually WP_20160521_15_42_44_Rich- ?
And that image you linked to earlier is way too big. Have you noticed how it's wrecked the formatting of this thread? This is the maximum width (1024 pixels) that works best here...

when using PIP it copies the link to the clipboard and all you gotta do is paste... no one even mentioned that!
From the PIP Manual... "After the image has been posted, the URL including any special tags (explained in "Profiles") will be copied to the clipboard. To include this URL in a message or an email, simply press Ctrl-V."
Ctrl-V is "paste"... right?
Anyway, it looks like you've got it now. Who says Canadians are slow?

ok but what I was doing wrong (for future reference) is I was using the "image" button and then trying to post the image... no one was explaining that all you have to do is paste it directly into the post ... so yea now on the other pics that I will be posting to show you guys how "clean" this fiero GT is
You mentioned you need dew wipes. I'd definitely recommend Seajai's dew wipes! My experience with Chris (Seajai) was excellent. Since Chris pay attention to details, his dew wipes are the best on the market. What I like the most about his business is he doesn't charge you until it's available to ship. You might have to wait a bit, but totally worth it.
There are some business owners who'd make you pay upfront & then make you wait until it's available for ship. That's not the correct business model we all should accept. Sometime, it's what it is. Anyway, Chris handled it like professional from beginning to end.
I'm a firm believer in Fiero "junkyard upgrades". First two upgrades I did to my 85 GT is to install a 120 mph instrument cluster from an 86-88GT and an aux gauge pkg. (super easy swap and you'll be getting rid of that stupid 85 mph speedo. Also, I strongly encourage you to swap out those terrible pre-87 headlight motors. You will thank yourself later and swear at your headlights less often too. Kit
sorry for the post delay.. and thanks for the welcome guys! there is a lot of stuff I need to get done to this car like front struts and shocks need to be replaced(and rears too maybe) and headlight motors need to be fixed and all the radio/speakers need to be upgraded/changed and the seats need to be re-upholstered.... oh! and headliner needs to be re-done too. so much to do and so little funds! LOL
