AE86 Body Restoration, A Journey to the Perfect Finish

[@zeeRooster]

The fact that jackie still has the energy and motivation to do a proper job and cut no corners after already putting in a shift really says it all about his work ethic

[@11metalfan]

Proper craftsman yeah. I remember seeing the EG at Mondello and the paint gave me tingles

[@juiceboxforyou]

For sure, hes one of a kind! Love that he has the effort after a good or bad day at work

[@YoungMacy]

6 years ago the youtube algorithm pointed this guy to me i remember thinking to myself how the fuck did i get here, why are they calling doughnuts rings and why is he trying to save this beat up old 86....the blood sweat and tears I have seen you put into this car is nothing short of inspiring and im glad youtube introduced me to you all these years ago. I had but one request for a long time fan, do not skip to the finish product like some tubers do. i think i speak for the majority when we say we wanna see you put every single piece of trim every screw every bolt even the damn speaker grill back in this car. we at the home stretch baby lets goooooooooooooooooo

[@juiceboxforyou]

That is the plan, Ill try keep it as interesting as we can, but I'm going to try include pretty much everything as this comes back together

[@AlexTsekot]

The only thing that came to mind is , I do feel for you Neil. You're going to have to go through an absolute mountain of footage when you are going to have to make the obligatory 'restoring my 86 in 15 minutes' video haha

@@juiceboxforyou Do it, but just have the video be all the swear words you and the lads have said in every video. lol

[@djcrossie]

Neil, this is really going to be the best 86 in Ireland by a mile. No hidden scutter, just pure perfection where ever you look. If its worth doing its worth doing right ❤

[@juiceboxforyou]

We are trying to do the best we can, well Mostly the talented friends who have helped around me, there will always be better but this will as good as we can do

[@mjrocketsurgeon]

Pro tip that's too late for you, once you've put the paint stripper on, cover it in a layer of cling film (that you cover food with) and it traps the gases coming off making the paint stripper more effective and the paint easier to scrape off. Looking forward to see her with paint on!

[@CoreysZ32]

Every single 5 second clip that makes this video is 30 seconds of setting up a tripod and checking.. a few minutes of editing.. and a TON of time of "real work" between shots. Amazing, man! Also, so pumped you have a leaded panel on your car, such a lost art and I've always loved it since I was a kid

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Leading is such a rare skill these days, so cool to see it being done. Great video!🛠

[@juiceboxforyou]

A real treat to see it happen in person, spent years hearing about it, more to come in an upcoming video

[@cidtelamon]

Seeing it all stripped makes me appreciate even more those trally arches, Barry did an amazing job. Jackie has great skills and he's truly a perfectionist. I can't wait to see the final product.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Barry did an exceptional job, Jackie measures his arches soon with a profiler and they are almost identical each side, its cool because they are cousins and Jackie learned from Barry over the years, a great team to have on this

[@ogentor_no]

Absolutely fucking incredible Neil. The effort and the level of craftsmanship from the lads scattered around in various Irish sheds is so fucking fun to see all rally together to help you out with your dream machine. Really looking forward to see it painted, on the ground and driving - and not the least see you chuck it round Mondello like you've always wanted to. What a journey it's been so far.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Looking forward to that first track day!

[@garda1p11b]

What an amazing journey so far. So much work going into the 86 from everyone that really cares about how things are done! Jackie is a Godsend for sure!

[@juiceboxforyou]

I constantly remind myself just how lucky I am having these good friends around who know their stuff, when we pulled the car out of the bush, I knew id have to call on the right people.

[@kithtings1041]

The work is phenomenal 👏👏👏 incredible patience but the results speak for themselves

[@arfinkazi5561]

Every single step from start to finish done well and done right. The best thing about your AE86 is that nothing was rushed in the process and that is absolute class. I cant wait to see the final form man, six years in the journey not a single episode missed. So grateful to stumble upon your channel one random day in high school, and now on the verge of finishing university. I hope I can come to Ireland one day to see the car and shoot it on film. Much love brother, to all the lads of the shed.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Grateful for this entire journey, its been a wild one, the people who have tuned in and the conversations have been such a bonus and an inspiration! Its been one fascinating and wild journey, six years of my life to tackle a rusty 86, its not a million miles away from being painted, you are always welcome over for a look and a spin when its finished!

[@shyshydad]

Nice nice... a real master of the trade, you can tell. Although it's a lot of extra work, the enjoyment you get from doing a vehicle you're actually passionate about, reminds one of why they started down the journey of this meticulous trade in the first place.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Exactly! As Ive mentioned a few times, Im truly lucky to have the right friends around to guide this in the right direction

[@jamiebrockman6361]

always a good day when Juicebox posts a video

[@angeloah]

You’re gunna love this when it’s all said and done, the effort will pay off in a mirror like finish. Like first passes wakeboarding at the lake kind of glass finish.

[@UnexplainedHoveringSpheroid]

Nothing better than a new video dropping while I am sat here wearing my Juicebox t shirt. Jackie and the other guys at that shop are legit panel beaters for sure. They even know the old ways. Not so many people nowadays even know how to do lead loading properly. It warms my cold, dead heart to see.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Haha! Its incredible to be surrounded by lads who have been masters of their crafts for a long time

[@afikkusan]

Broooooo all those work 🔥 your years long quest is finally coming to the conclusion soon. This probably the longest restoration project that I've followed.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Thats wild and I appreciate you keeping the interest in this, it really didn't mean to go on this long but its getting close now

[@raymondlaikokleong]

Class bodywork craftsman, class welders, class artisans all round. You’re really lucky in Ireland to still have these ppl to help you out in your restoration

[@hidde50]

Let's gooo. Great episode, as usual. I love seeing the progression of the car

[@robbiekillian6213]

Jackie is a fuckin legend, love the content as always and absolutely stoked for you Neil

[@juiceboxforyou]

Really appreciate it Robbie! Hes the man, its great to sit back and watch masters of their craft at work, I'm learning a fuck load from this

[@_Takirro]

Finally was able to catch up on the series, I was 6 months behind. Life happens but I've been watching this series since 2018 I believe and man time flew by. Just patiently waiting for the shop to open back up.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Opening very soon, over the coming weeks! Thats fair I know exactly what you mean, cheers for stopping by

[@trombati]

Love seeing all the metal work and paint prep. It will be interesting to see the car in one color eventually 😁

[@hishaamdevries]

I've been watching these videos since I was 17 in high school when I had a free period just seeing all the shit you guys catch on and all the hard work you put in it makes me envious that you can build a AE86 as they didn't come to South Africa(my country) so cant build my own and I hope that the car gets done perfect

[@G_Ozare]

Jackie is a fockeen legend. What a guy! I would have him sign the car under the clear coating!!!

[@juiceboxforyou]

He is one of a kind, we laughed about this but he's happy enough to let the work do the talking, at least I can showcase his skills on here even though he really couldn't care less about the videos hahaha

[@deadjumpers87]

Good seeing a bunch of lads taking real pride in doing good job, great work, can't wait to see it painted im sure it's gonna look amazing.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Same, I am honoured to have these sort of lads working on this, with twenty years of experience through trial and error, between Barry, Jackie, Bryan Flip and the rest of the lads, its an honour to have good mates who know what their doing

[@LonesomeDrifter1987]

I honestly wonder if it's going to be repainted to its original factory color, the color it had when it was on tv in Japan, or some other custom color.

[@hereticalhimbo]

Neil, I swear your 86 is going to be competition grade at this point with just the love and care and attention you have poured into this as well as the mates you have had help along the way

[@juiceboxforyou]

Its really would be nothing without the friends Ive had to help out along the way, everyone has their skill and it has contributed to putting together the best example of a resto we can achieve.

[@stevep3]

yes! jackie on the lead loading hype, that is a by-gone skill, props to that, havent done lead loading myself for ages as its a pain in the arse lol

[@juiceboxforyou]

It doesn't look easy

[@cbdreamer1709]

Love these videos. Jackie what a friend. So good

[@owenwalters7186]

Absolutely epic!! Just put down a full day at work, came home did more to the house as im in the middle of trying get the roof up before the real winter hits. Anyway feeling tired, but now seeing the lads hard at it has me rethinking if ill go out for another few hours haha well wear kid!!

[@juiceboxforyou]

Keep er lit

[@11metalfan]

Just another day of Patreon supremacy 😏 Btw, love the colour you posted on the discord, going to be absolutely savage. Hopefully none of the other lads leak it

[@juiceboxforyou]

😅😅

[@CaptainTexas92]

One day I want to nut and bolt restore a Honda CRX. This is some really inspiring work. This guy is a real body guy. Nowadays everyone just slaps filler and new panels it’s refreshing seeing the painstaking art.

[@texaspowerman]

What a job, truly talented friends you have. The lead was over the top. I worked at the Ford Lincoln plant as a teenager, a lot of the seams were all leaded in then. They stopped when the tradesman all we’re getting sick from it, one of the reasons that you don’t see it anymore. The inside of the fenders had to be just maddening. Hope you were able to spray something similar to the Eastwood rust neutralizer/sealer inside the panels you couldn’t take off. Can’t wait for the next update. ✌️

[@juiceboxforyou]

Yeah, we did the full rust neutralizer and then finished it with epoxy, it took forever and really we started to lose our minds on it but it all worked out in the end. Trying to clean those hard-to-reach spots after the paint stripper was a nightmare but every inch of progress makes me smile no matter how miserable. The lead was a treat to watch, I bet long term its not good for the body, delighted I got to see some of it in action of a few parts of this build.

[@mattybyrne6203]

This content is just brilliant to watch neil well done to all for putting in the massive hours this car will be amazing once finshed ❤

[@juiceboxforyou]

Its getting close now! At least we know we have given it everything we could from start to finish

[@Ltbookum]

Lead filling like that is quite the art indeed, getting it just warm enough and not having it rum out is harder then it looks. Yet American cars had this done from the factory to at least the early to mid 70's. A B body Mopar coupe (Charger, Superbee etc) had quite a hefty weld joint midway on the C pillar where the roof structure met the body, this was always lead filled. Imagine doing that all day, being high all day every day..

[@FujiRoku]

Nice to see the little EG Civic peeking out in the workshop : ) keep on pushing!!!

[@juiceboxforyou]

And he still has it right to the very end, the shit he has to deal with in work and then perks a smile to help jump on board with this in the evening, its incredible to have these sort of inspiring friends.

[@weeblbob233]

from the previous videos I thought filler for bodywork was the enemy but from this I understand now. its like a fine layer to find inperfections before the last layer of primer and paint. It also hides a lot of shit for anyone trying to buy a car in bad weather.
