How do you get motivated to work on your Fiero? (Page 1/4)
Kitskaboodle APR 11, 01:16 AM
Let’s face it, there are times when we just don’t have the motivation to work on our Fiero’s. Like many of you, I struggle with this too. What helps me is to “think of the end goal”, looking at some Fiero videos on YouTube or reading some of the Fiero literature I have accumulated over the years. All these things help me to get things fixed, to finish that project, to get things done, etc..

So, what motivates you to work on your Fiero, especially when you don’t feel like it?

What motivates me... is the need to take one of these if I can't keep on top of things.




Actually, I have other vehicular options. I just wanted to post a picture of a bus.

Having worked on mine for YEARS, with no end in site, sometimes it takes a lot of motivation to get back to tinkering. The biggest motivation is the people here and some of their awesome build threads. Too many to name, but threads by Don, Neil, Joe, engine man, Archies builds for Troy and Madcurl, Car lo, Nolan, Amida, Bozzie...Just to name a few.

I go back and re-read these threads. I seem to learn or catch little things I want to try every time I re-read them.

And then there is just the end goal and being able to enjoy driving it.

If you're working on a Fiero that isn't drivable, perhaps a Fiero friend would let you drive their car, or at least take you for a ride!

Myself - I don't want to be at it for YEARS....
So I go at it almost 24/7 until it's done.

Too many people "let it sit" for a while, then have a tough time getting restarted.

When the nice weather starts here in Michigan..... The nice cars come out, makes me want to get the GT on the road. Fortunately, I haven't had any major issues recently, so I just fix anything that needs it so I can enjoy it all summer long.

Another great motivator is this forum. I'm on here almost daily, getting updates on kgoodyear's taillight lenses, combing through the mall and tech sections - seeing what's new.

I just think about what someone else would charge me to do the desired work and that motivates me to do it myself (most of the time).

To say nothing of the crap job they might do. You know the old saying, "If you want the job done right... etc etc"

The Wife and I put nearly 2,000 miles on our 87GT in just over a month driving to view the world. The drive is my drive to work on the Fiero.
