...
But here is a link to the whole insane mess....
http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/118300.html
You have to see it to believe it.  I'm not sure how the car even lasted as long as it did w/o a serious electrical melt down...

I told you before that your car looks great.
After seeing where you started, it just looks amazing!
You rescued a car that many people would have parted out, or worse.

Nice job! 


Thank you!  It means so much to me how complimentary you are of my little guy.  I'm just glutton for punishment is all... LOL!  No, I have quite a few strays at home that were headed for the crusher that I saved, literally... granted they still need resuscitation, but they are not dead!  I'm not sure what would have happened to #770 w/o my naive self.  I'm not sure there was one INDY specific part that was not ruined in some way by the PO.  And I know any other "normal" fiero would have been parted out at this point as bad as things were.   

But for me... I'll take him regardless and try to make something positive out of it, even if it never becomes a true restoration.  At least it was not a perfect Indy that I modified.  :)

Damn Girl, you did a hell of a job especially seeing what your car looked like before.
I do love my Fiero BUT I wouldn't have rescued a car like this. My option would have been "the worse part".

Glad you joined our crazy group ;)

LOL... thank you.  See and you were worried I would see you all as crazy.  I think I'm the CRAZY one!  Especially after I wrote that all and looked at those pics.  I was like OMG...

I don't know where you have your pictures hosted, but some of the online services like Photobucket and others will let your pictures drop after a while.  Download our version of PIP and they'll be here until you remove them.  You can use our version of PIP to post pictures on other sites, too.  I noticed that when Pennocks PIP went down with a database error, ours was still functional.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

I just uploaded a really neat, free, image manipulation utility on our club's server. You can get it at this link:
http://gafieroclub.org/files/iview430_setup.exe
Use it to re-size pictures or do other alterations before uploading them with PIP. You can use it to adjust colors, take out red-eye, etc. It has a lot of built-in help for those not familiar with such programs.
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

cool... Thank you.  I usually have them hosted at cardomain off my site there.  So far no issues.  Some are at Photobucket.  I plan to swap them over to cardomain too.
