You can try "gonna" but that has more a declarative intent than "fixin' to". The most mystifying expression in South African English is "just now". When I first met my wife there, I assumed it meant what it said. In fact, "just now" can mean two minutes, 20 minutes, I don't really plan to do that, let's do lunch or are you nuts? "Fixin' to" can work the same way, LOL.
