THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!

Good.

Get photos under the front hood for me (Headlight motors and whatnot), interior radio/HVAC area, seats, center console, headliner...
Does it have power locks? Power trunk release? I would assume yes, as it is a GT.

Get a photo of the rear glass as well. I need to know if it is a rear defrost or not.

Frazee Auto Body and Glass has agreed to install the rear window and urethane it into place for us.

EDIT: Karen from Frazee Glass called me back. She spoke with the owner of the shop, Dave, and he has agreed to donate all labor and materials in order to install a new rear window in Tyler's car. We need to provide the rear glass, and he will put it in. We just have to let them know in advance as the install will take approximately three hours.

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.




You speek my language when it comes to car audio dude. I have alpine in all my cars except for the speekers in my fiero.

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.



I always found that the speekers in the b pillers made it sound better with the seat speekers. I have this setup in my GT.

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





I want them mmmm very nice

In my case, the B-Pillar speakers fire directly into my ears. Especially the left side. Sounds horribly unbalanced, and very harsh on the ears.

I have the seat speakers now, and absolutely LOVE them...

In addition, the Come-on-In hotel a few miles outside of Frazee has agreed to a "Group buy" on double bed rooms for people wanting to help out with this.

I spoke with Jackie there, and she agreed to knock the price from 109 a night to 77 a night for anyone looking to participate in the Fiero event.

I specifically asked about the November 20/21/22 weekend (as I saw it mentioned earlier in the thread). She says they are normally not busy then.

What do you guys/gals say?
I need a list of people willing to head up there for that weekend to see what kind of damage we can do. Once I know how many people will be going up, we can call Jackie and get some reservations set.

I am willing to share a room.

If I had a headliner, seat skins, and the necessary car audio supplies, I could do the interior updates/repairs in a day, or less. Anyone want to step up on these?
In addition, I am really amped (pun intended) to be able to toss a decent sound system in this car for Tyler..

While not required, my goal is a set of front components (5 1/4), rear 4" speakers for the seats, or 4" speaker plates for the B-Pillars (again, I personally prefer the speaker seats, but the B-Pillars will work), and an 8 or 10" subwoofer in the passenger side under the dash. I can build the sub box, just like mine. It will fit in the stock opening, and be carpeted, hanging down in the front of the dash a small amount.

I'd also need a 4 channel amp for the main speakers, and a single or bridgeable amp for the subs. Wiring, blocks and all. I can provide the Alpine head unit, but can't provide much more than that due to my own finances.

Man, this is really coming together! Exciting!

Sound system, Mr. Mikes seats, new body panels... he's gonna have one NICE Fiero after this

We could laso rewrap his headliner in like say a grey vinyl or somthing. Give the interior that extra omph. Now heres the other question. How are we going to go abot painting this car with the new nose and side skirts?

Rattle can. primer Black. But only the front half!

That's a good question, though. I guess if time is a big factor, it might have to be something a bit less than perfect. Maybe somebody has all the tools to do a good paintjob and can bring them with? With all of us there, we could tape off the car and a garage in minutes!

I am going to contact a friend of mine near by that has a Body Shop.

I`m guessing he will help out with Labor, if we supply the parts.

I will call him when I get off work tonight.
