@ Tony K.~
Soooo...
Perhaps this is why we haven't heard about the car from Mitch, Kathryn or PD.... ?
A real loss if it is the reason.

Incredible GPA for someone doing 2 School Systems at the same time. You are a shooting star, be careful not to go too fast, and burn up. Hope you are also having some fun at this time in your life as well, it's important.

I'll post a bit. Some of you may know that Kathryn spent a good part of the summer in the UK . Part of the reason why no up dates. When she returned she started back with her university classes and a week later HS also started back to work. So yes she's been busy. The car really needs about a few more months work to completion and as I understand it it's mostly the fine bits that need done and some body pieces fitted.
Most of you are spot on that this a learning experience for skills and also time management. What some also know this is a Kathryn driven project so it moves at her pace. I for one am truly amazed at her accomplishments and how well she does at keeping it all together and in focus.
She will post I'm sure when she has something new not just a few wires and bolts added. She feels she needs to keep everyone posted but for those of you who know her small talk is not her real forte, not that she can't chatter but "at times" but for the most part unless she has something to say she says little.
I visit everyday and look forward to her updates also. She is quite a young lady and I am proud of her . Papa D

California Kid great comment and I totally agree! My son is a automotive engineer and I am sure he would tell you, study, study, study! He was involved with the Formula Team and they voted him to be the Team Manager and he found it took to much time from his studies and it effected his grades. He just missed the GPA cutoff from the OEMs. But he is now doing what he wanted, brake systems, for a Tier 1 supplier. I must say he learned a lot from the Formula team that he would not have learned in the class room.[This message has been edited by solotwo (edited 09-20-2015).]

Papa D, I think I would get agreement that her PFF family is quite proud of her also. No just for the car project she's working on but for the real life accomplishments she has done so far. If she never finishes this project (but we all KNOW she will  ), thanks for the work and inspiration you have given all of us!

Huh...... this thread is about HER journey not anyone who has donated to it or commented. All this odd negativity as of late is disturbing. I advise all who have given to her project please grab a dictionary and look up the word DONATE. Hopefully then you will understand the meaning.
On a lighter note remember the cell phone stands? It still holds my shops business cards. At least 10 times a day customer comments on what a cool design it is and they want one. Again, thank you for taking the time to make these for the few lucky ones. We thank you for sharing your journey and your time lady. ------------------
Put the blow torch down please, its just a Fiero.

Hey all,
I know it's insane I haven't been on for a while. I feel terrible about it, time flies so fast, and I've been putting off pictures because I'm like if I just wait a little longer I can have a running car! Wouldn't that be an awesome update! I've been in England for most the summer and I got back about 5 weeks ago which was pretty much right on time for school to start. I have homecoming this weekend, BUT, I have gotten some more coolant lines and things hooked up on the engine last week, I haven't quit yet. Unfortunately I had to practically refab the entire system because part of it was supposed to go in before the engine did... and let's just say that didn't happen so my Dad and I had to discover a different solution. lol.
I am still working on my car, and I swear I haven't given up on all of you! You've all been absolutely amazing through this entire experience and without you all I probably wouldn't have made it through! Welcome to the new comers, and a huge thank you to all of you who have been here since the beginning. I haven't finished, but I haven't given up either. Now that I'm back into the swing of things, I'll be setting aside Mondays and Fridays after this week for car days. Then hopefully in the near future I can post evidence of a car back under its own steam!
I want to wish you all the best of luck with all your projects, and again a gigantic thank you to all of you!
-Kathryn
