Yes Ladies and Germs Chris Edwards fixes his cars while still in his pajamas. Just like Jesus would.

[@keith1200RetroComputers]

My body feels all sore just watching you 🤣

[@Channel-Zx]

After watching the video it reminded me why I left the Auto industry for the IT industry years ago. 🚗🖥👍🔨

[@Shmbler]

Chris knows where Jesus lives.

[@kayboog2000]

Followed the video step-by-step…thanks for the help! Hardest part for me was the electrical connector on the blower @12:53, Was sooo hard to get off (I too prayed a lot). Being left handed helped but still took me hours. But great video very helpful. God bless you, brother.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Yeah that bastard was a hard One

[@nikkocavalier8479]

Thanks for this video

Old cushions are your friend, Chris. I keep a stash for activities that don't involve walking or sitting in a chair. Saves the old knees & bones. 💖💖👍👍🕹🕹

I'm not familiar with this model of Amiga.

[@joshXnovak1]

Excellent video! Very informative. Only thing I would change is owning a Kia Soul.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

I love that little car

[@joshXnovak1]

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration my Girlfriend owns one and it is the bane of my existence

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

@joshXnovak1 like the subaru is to me

[@retrowifey7160]

Found it was easier removing the front seat. 4 bolts and 2 connectors

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

For what to get easier access under the dash?

[@calkster]

love the video "Pintz and AmigA" baby!!!

[@hulkvn900]

I can’t believe you drive a Kia I always thought you was a good old boy 😂

[@CantankerousDave]

There’s a beat-up pickup on the grass next to it.

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

yeah i bought that new also in 2003. it has since been traded in on my hyundai. still have the kia, but shes getting up there in miles and problems

[@AiO51666]

I drive my car just about every day. SOMETHING has decided to make its way into where that fan is and start building a nest. Either that or the air filter buckled in on its self and let a bunch of dirt and gunk up there. I don’t have the patients to take all that out lol I’m not really a car guy. To the mechanic it is. But also yeah when I peaked into the little air filter in the glove box it was folded in on one side where the edge support is glued onto the accordion

[@AiO51666]

Does that happen on its own? Like it got old and weak when I put the air on full blast it just sucked in the edge. Can that happen?

[@CantankerousDave]

Step #4 will shock you!

[@Wiscotac]

My Gawd! Whatever happened to Future AI and plug and play? Oh yeah, this is back 4-5 years ago. My next computer will probably be made by Frameworks, cars still have a hell of a way to go. In fact I think I'm going to check the bus schedules.

[@mark-antonymosley3697]

My 2011 soul has been having weird ac issues for a few months. I've had to rev the car for the ac to get cold, if it idles the ac doesn't really blow cold. Changed the condenser fan and ac service twice and didn't fix it. Noticed ever since then the blower fan will like go up and down in room by it's self like it's loosing power, I can here it. Then the other day the blower fan just stops working but when I leave the car off for a bit and start it works again. Then yesterday the blower fan was working then it stopped after a few min and flew out white smoke. It still works some how keeps stopping intermittently, does this sound like the blower motor?

[@ChrisEdwardsRestoration]

Yeah and for 40 ish $$ and a few hours of your time you can fix it

[@stevenbrentson8]

Kia computers are stock Amiga 600s? Who knew?

[@calkster]

KIA AKA disposable car!!

[@bobrandale4864]

Kia is Korean, right? I've always wondered why they didn't spell this car "Seoul"... :)

[@phester28]

Where is Lisa, Denise etc :)

[@77slevins_video_channel]

In the back of the car, all tied up 😈
