This is my first official post...But I have to say Yay! I have finally caught up with this thread. I have been reading it off and on during my down time at work over the last few days.

Great work. Unfortunately, I don't get all the images you post, but I get enough of them. I am going to have to re-read some of the stuff regarding your auto PC stuff. Have you considered using raspberry pi for your systems?

WELCOME to the FUN & CHAOS ClumsySmurf! And I am honored that you choose my Thread to comment upon first

In regards to the customized systems, I have played with AutoPCs, Android, & R-PIs...there is give and take on each depending the applications intended to be run. Best bang for the buck is to get an off the shelf Android infotainment touch screen & an USB to OBDII adapter or Bluetooth and you are good to go with a lot of functionality. Now in regards to the R-PIs...I am going to be utilizing them in a re-active body panel design (eventually to come into fruition next year) to control the motors of the many exterior inter-active body panels.

Well had J-Ray's Modified 87 GT here for the past few days. Mr. Poe stopped by and we changed out the clutch on her.


She is ready for the road again!

Yes Rob...but I didn't like the way the blue came out the last time...was too dark...looked more like black rather than blue.

Liking this color of blue a lot better!

I have a guy that works for Safelite that handles all my Fiero's.

He has to destroy the old seal to remove and then cleans the glass and re-installs with new seal. He also utilizes a seal that is for another vehicle...it wraps around the back edge of the glass as well & looks great...IMO!

I saw that car over near my daughter's house in Wylie. Stopped to see if he would be interested in the monthly NTRC meeting, but nobody home.
Maybe it will have a better home soon.

NON-Fiero Updates: I have been busy with work, the kids & grand-kids, and doing some projects for the home.

Like replacing the LPG instant hot water heater. I replaced the 13 year old BOSH Aquastar 1600



with a brand new Noritz ProTough NR981-SV unit.



Have some painting to do in this utility closet now

Driving "Barbie" home last night from the airport...I noticed my window fogged up about half way home with a distinct smell of antifreeze.
I believe my heater core has sprung a leak...it is still her original one from factory.
Need to try set some time aside and see if I can tear into her this weekend....at least I have a extra new unit on the shelves in the FieroCave.

Unfortunately not anything...my wife has been in the hospital with lung and heart issues.

If life changes...would like to eventually get the G1 door panels for both the ReMera and BluDrm...but time will only tell.

Jim, I use the add-on for Opera and see every picture just fine. You don't need to rework all of your photos when the answer to the problem is out there. People are too lazy to use it. Firefox, Opera, and Chrome all have the add-on to fix this Photobucket issue. This is what I see....of course it is resized to fit the page:


Best wishes to you and your wife. Hope everything goes well.
