I could possibly give a ride. It might be a tight fit though. I might have one other person interested in helping out. uhm. Just let me know when. I know the air port like the back of my hand. ------------------

UPDATE: 11/2/09
It looks like a build day/weekend is shaping up for the weekend of the 21st. Right now I have an email to Tyler's family, and a PM to Tyler to make sure that weekend will be okay for them. I am waiting for a response back. I also have sent my second email to the Fiero Store now, and am still waiting for a response to see if they will help us out with the fascia. We'll see if they step up or not.
A question has been raised about where members flying in would stay. If there is anyone who would be willing to put up a few members, please let me know, and I will put you in contact with them. Or if someone could do a little research for me on what lodging is available nearby for the members to stay at a decent rate, that would be really helpful.
I also want to publicly thank all of you for stepping up to help Tyler. I know him as little as all of you do, but I want to see this young man sit in a nice running, nice looking Fiero. And I am not going to stop on this until that goal is achieved. Thank you all!
Andy

EDIT: I also want to reiterate that BazookaFiero has offered to have all of the parts to ship to him. If you have parts to be shipped for Tyler, please send me a PM so I can forward Bazooka's mailing address to you.

Count me in for any days needed.
I am an auto mechanic here and own a Fiero, so I know my way around cars.
I am also a friend of Lynxer (Nick`s)
I live just over an hour away from Tyler and Nick.[This message has been edited by VikingRedBaron (edited 11-02-2009).]

Will they be landing in Minneapolis? Are we talking for this Nov 21st weekend or later?
I live too far south of Minneapolis for it to be effective, but in Minneapolis there are many hotels. Along interstate 94 there are hotels as well.
To stay up by Frazzee , in Detroit Lakes not far from Frazee, are many hotels, here is a link:

What does Tyler have for Tuneage in his Fiero?
I have a nice Alpine CDA-9851 unit (MP3, Motorized Tilt Face and whatnot) to put in..
If someone wants to donate funds for speakers, and maybe a four channel amp, I could do a nice install for him. I would need the appropriate power and audio cabling.
I could even build a quick sub box for under the dash. Give him a rocking system with a 4 channel and dual or single channel sub amp, or a 5 channel amp.
Anyone want to donate to the cause for that? Not as nice as making it 100% functional, but would be a nice upgrade.[This message has been edited by Synthesis (edited 11-02-2009).]

Sweet. Being a GT, it has the 4x10s in the dash, and the 4x6s in the B-Pillars. If at all possible, I'd love to set him up with some good quality tunes. The Alpine I have wasn't cheap when it came out, and other than a minor scratch on the faceplate, is in great condition and was only installed for a few months.
Not trying to be picky, but if I can amp this for him with a good 8 inch sub, we could really rock it out.

UPDATE:
Ok, I was just contacted Barbie Porter, from local News Paper, Frazee-Vergas Forum. They had done a story about his situation a couple of weeks back, but knew nothing at all of the "Fiero Project". She was very excited to do a story on how everyone is coming together to help. I gathered all the known info from both threads, as well as info from the email I received from Andy. I also gave her Andy's (Forum Coordinator) email address, as well as Nick's (Local coordinator).
Hopefully this will draw more attention to the cause, and bolster some more people to help.
Ok, the seats are covered! (Sorry... baaaddd. punn) I just got off the phone a few minutes ago with Mr. Mike. He said he would gladly help for such a worthy cause!
I realize these are covers, but they are MR. MIKE'S COVERS  For anyone new here, not familiar with Mr. Mike's seat covers, here is just one of the many style's and color combination's available:
When they are installed, the seats look like the were upholstered in a factory. I personally feel this is a better option that seats from another donor car, as no matter how good of shape they may be in, the material is still 23 years old. That and just the fact of trying to get 2 seats shipped in is a shipping nightmare. Lastly, there are so many styles and color combination to choose from for a real customized look.
I guess what is needed now, is what color and style seat covers to use.
@Nick Have a look at this page, and try to come up with something: http://www.mrmikes.com/fierosports.htm[This message has been edited by JohnWPB (edited 11-02-2009).]

We could add a bit to the seats..
How about we "upgrade" his seats to Speaker seats, and eliminate the 4x6s in the B-Pillars. Then, while the seats are apart for upholstery, we can swap in some good quality 4" speakers... Something that will last a while yet.
