Greetings everyone.

I'm back (kinda).

"Mr Kennedy" reached out to me on youtube and said that I needed to come back to PFF.

In 2011 I went through a divorce and lived though a few years of depression.
Much like the stroke that Theogre went through, my brain has been re-wired. I am not the same person I was before.

I am social, but at the same time, I am not.
I got a HAM radio license in 2019 and talk to random strangers hundreds of times a week, but I don't talk to my friends for months on end.

I will try to remember to log in to PFF and look for any questions that I can answer.
I love and appreciate what Cliff has made here.

If I fail to check in here I am always approachable by phone or email.

Good night to my fiero family.

Welcome back. The responses are a little slower on here and we've lost a few members due to death or just moving on from this hobby but glad to have you back.

Just remember what that Mr. Kennedy guy said...."All the help you gave over there is priceless".

Hi Buddy,
Welcome back!

I joined PFF in 2003 and built my first V8 swap in 1999. Before joining PFF, I'd been reading it for a long time.

We never met but I learned a lot from your threads over the years, going back to a previous century.

Hope things continue to always move in the right direction for you during these difficult days! Again, welcome back.

Regards,
Steve

hi Buddy !

So lovely to see you here again. I'm SO sorry that life has been very hurtful for some time.
I'm also just one of many who benefited from your wonderful posts and videos, and you helped this (then) newbie so much with her car. My sincere thanks go out to you, and my best wishes too. J.

I've seen a lot of your posts/comments when digging through threads looking for solutions to my own problems. Seeing this post made me check out your youtube, and now i know why my trunk release switch doesn't work! You're a blessing!

That's awesome. Glad to help.
But at the same time, that probably means your switch is broken.

Buddy, welcome back. I certainly recall your help on the Gen 1 headlight motor rebuild videos. Whether you just wish to chat or get involved by purchasing another Fiero; most of us here are willing to listen, help and converse. As for your change in marital status; you are certainly not alone. It happens to some of the best people and so life must go on.

Life and FIERO's have a way of testing us and often it cruel. Good to hear that you have persevered and have chosen to rejoin the PFF community. You have been missed. Welcome back!

Haha that it was! the post broke right at the base though, so i gave it a good helping of JB weld and for now after a few uses its holding together! If it breaks again i found i can use the tail of a pen cap to operate the switch if i take the rocker out though, so its not a total loss.

So glad to see you back. I am guessing the kid we saw in the video is now quite older. You are a treasure!

I still have my 84 with V8 in it. but it is not road worthy.
I plan on getting it and my 67 Catalina back up to snuff next year.
I was hoping to pay off my house this year, but with what all has happened over the last 2 years, I'm wanting to keep a bit of a nest egg built up.
So I am not sure I'll have the extra money to play with next year.

Hey Buddy,

Glad you checked back in. This thread is the destination when you search for "buddycraigg" and sort by date.
Just got through watching several of your videos that continue to keep my Fieros on the road.

Just wishing you the best.

Welcome back Buddy. Up until recently I had not posted on Pennock's for many years. I was just talking to a friend about rebuilding Gen 1 headlights and remember the good stuff you posted in the past. I am glad to see that Rodney has replacement brush contacts because what I have seen recently is that the contacts are falling off the brushes
