Restoring Richard Hammond's Subaru from The Grand Tour | Project Martin Ep.2

[@Drivetribe]

Thanks to Liqui Moly for sponsoring today's video, check out their products: bit.ly/LiquiMoly-23-H2

[@DarthArachnious]

Richard restores his cars, and Jeremy has all his in a barn. Several of the cars abandoned in other countries were located by fans. They should get them together as they were in the specials and create a museum exhibit.

[@JakeFromYoutube]

There is a museum exhibit with a lot of the cars from TG. I actually recently suggested Mike make a video visiting it. It's called Beaulieu's World Motor Museum. They have the amphibious cars (both sets), the Jag sports train, the Toyota Hilux, the bikes from the Vietnam special, the Dominator, the Peel P45 Jezza made, hammerhead eagle i-thrust, they even have the fiat panda limousine haha but I agree the ones that aren't already in that museum or other ones should be.

[@smcdetailing7921]

The difference is. J.C doesn't need to restore and document his cars. R.H has a car restoration company of which is heavily documented online and benefits from Videos like these.

​@@smcdetailing7921 Hello Mr. Cynical!

[@chiefbeef9905]

Ngl would love to see all of them restored, then taken on a hill climb day or smthn like that

[@BBS7523]

What about may

[@oscarzt1652]

3:48 it looks perfect in that shot because it has enough cosmetic flaws that you could drive the snot out of it and not worry about scratches or stone chips etc.

[@georgel779]

me in my 2002 wrx....

[@OddBawZ]

Love the TorqueGT guys. Always been a massive help with rare bits for my JDM cars!

[@Aa0LMAO]

Odd seeing you here

[@Jackryan1213]

Didn’t know you were a JDM guy

[@Broodingrage235]

My my my! My fav WT KZbinr here watching DT? Oh glorious day!

[@evor6s]

I was pleasantly pleased to find that subaru dealers still supply brand new slam panels, bumpers and bonnets etc for these impreza's. I was looking everywhere for parts for my blob to get it fixed after a bump, and the body shop came in clutch with the Subaru link up. Will have mine back end of the week, so way too excited! Need me more subaru resto videos already, I'm so ready for all the content!

[@grahamhaynes7658]

Took me 6 months to source a aluminium bonnet for a Gc8 wrx sti,lots of NLA parts.Newage must be easier.

[@alexdawkins5368]

My subaru has had a similar story, it's now been off the road for 1 and half years and this week she will be back on the road

[@evor6s]

@@alexdawkins5368 mine should be back this week too! Way too excited right now ahaha

[@wolfenher6937]

Just when you took us a tour to the showroom full of your JDM gems, my heart instantly got excited to see all those legends in there 💕

[@danjeory3659]

I love it. I have no clue about car maintenance or body repairs and I just love to see it all being done. I really wish my old man had taught me all this sort of stuff when I was younger.

[@ryanwalsh2455]

So awesome to see such an iconic subaru being restored. 2004 STI’s are my dream car, and its a shame many are toast nowadays. Y’all are doing it some serious justice

[@veedubzz88]

Horrid livery?, I really was impressed with the "MARTIN" livery myself.... thinking of making a 1/10 scale for my RC chassis.... let me know if i should make 2 and send you 1? haha, love you guys and keep up the memories!!!

[@matt-lo8ut]

That and the gulf liveries are the best ever imo!

[@trevorjones5625]

Agreed. It's just another scooby now that blends in with all the rest. No longer an iconic show special.

[@Dave1507]

I liked it too, and my idea was to do the same livery but do it proper this time, and make it Martin from the start. That'd be so cool.

[@ArnoldVette]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate a video like this. I own a JDM Version 8 Sti named "Pixie" very similar to this except its a non V-Limited. This now makes me want to inspect for rust. Keeping me eyes peeled for this one!

[@alexlee-isted5046]

Torque GT are immense. Best Japanese specialists out there. Got a few bits for my DC5 and fitted by them

[@jacobschofield9712]

It's really exciting to see the Impreza being restored, but I'd love to see the same happen to Jeremy's RS4 as well

[@KalvinMalli]

Can’t say it’s as bad as my bnr32 resto 🤣 looking forward to this one!

[@lastexile1187]

Rust is actually "to a minimal" here :D

[@KalvinMalli]

@@lastexile1187 🤣

[@eoin730]

I watch your channel lol

[@jackos944]

strange place to find you 🤣

[@ぢょんすみす-t7b]

This Impreza might be brought from snowy area of Japan like Hokkaido or Tohoku. Considering its age and how cheap it was, it's holding its shape quite well.

[@dammyo6010]

That showroom looks like car guy heaven. That green GT-R is just..... gorgeous!

[@kujoukaren5818]

happy to see the forgotten forester sti being in this video, wrx sti in wagon style, awesome daily driver

[@PRIYENKUMARDINESHKURJI]

Torque GT seems like a dream destination for Japanese car fans like me....Lots of Subaru and Mitsubishi...

[@CarObsession]

Torque GT are awesome! I bought a JDM EP3 Type R from there and their customer service was top notch!

[@WayApp]

Wow, this restoration project is absolutely incredible!

[@ballistischerfalke4061]

This was a great video! Keem them coming!

[@HomebrewSubaru]

Happy to see this car making a comeback. It deserves the treatment.

[@dynamitedavies]

Up inside the rear shock towers look for more rust, thats what usually causes the rot on the arch itself

[@dammyo6010]

I'm thankful for this wonderful free content, but can we please get some sort of update on Project Jag? I'm really looking forward to seeing the supercharged XKR run in anger.

[@michaelluong6484]

I know it makes no monetary sense, but if only James' Evo from the same series can be brought all the way back.

[@christopherbuss3992]

Will be great to see the refurb, shows what those clean vs rusty arches mean to scoobies and can spot some JDM goodness in the baackground

[@JarmelSingsKaraoke]

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK EVERYONE ...THANKS MIKE AND PRODUCTION TEAM 🙏...

[@BlackPants420]

So excited for this series

[@LostinWales]

100% there’s more rust hiding underneath the stone chip coating!!! After doing it all with my own I’d advise anyone doing rust on a Subaru to do the entire underside at the same time

[@Vazquez12able]

True, at 6:48 you can see rust spots all over the sill.

[@apm3rk]

Only took 7 1/2 months since the episode released to get part one out 😂

[@Sledgeh101]

I'm actually still waiting for part 3 of Lucy's travelogue

[@AcidDotCom]

Yup, much more interested in that, than this 11 minute advert :)

[@CrispyPinguin]

Same here !

[@theog841]

My thoughts exactly think I skipped through 70% of this video

[@colind4607]

Me as well more interesting than the stuff they have put out lately... Give us part 3 of Lucy's Travel!!!!

[@caprise-music6722]

@@theog841 yep. Same here. I wanted to see Richard Hammond restore this car at the smallest cog

[@bghoody5665]

I can't believe Mike licked that old candy 🤮 Great episode, looking forward to the next one.

[@diogors6]

Really amazing series to see this continuation of a car from the Grand Tour show.

[@speedydb55]

Not that much into JDMs but I WANT that NSX Type R. 😍

[@PaulSterrett]

Great video and glad to see the Scooby getting some love to restore!

[@ScottOrd]

4:50 - Nice one on the "dodgy DnB", cheers to the editor 🥳

[@Darwinpasta]

I was not expecting Pendulum!

[@theoriginalwallace]

Hi Mike! It'll be like new again soon! We went down to Callander & went over the Duke's Pass. Now I know why it's your favourite road in Scotland! I can't wait to take my 4.6 Range Rover V8 powered Vauxhall Viva HC over it... should be ready in 2025! Another great road is the B974 Cairn O Mount running from Fettercairn to Banchory. It's a fair bit faster in places. Cheers. Leigh.

[@djufvcey]

Tell them guys at Torque GT to hurry up and finish their P1 already 👍 👇

[@Torque-GT]

2 weeks, we promise! 😉

[@rays5163]

im surprised the rust isn't worse. it's been marinating in seawater and road salt for a few months now.

[@funkified-]

Right on, the montage with the dodgy Pendulum track was a nice transition lol

[@michaeltutty1540]

I wish you guys were on the same side of the pond. I have Arthur, the 1990 Volvo 240DL estate Ma bought as her 60th birthday present to herself. 33 Ontario, Canada winters, not to mention the 623,000 kilometers (391,000 miles), have done to the old boy. Still drives like new, though.

[@tylertheotaku9270]

Torque GT has come along way in the 9 or so years since buying my first import Nissan Silvia.... And they were in their old location by the Buckfastleigh railway too

[@MrCupra79]

Endlich wieder die alten guten Videos!😊 PS: special alloy wheel cleaner 😉

[@wiciuwiciu2783]

"Forester STI, how much do you want one as a daily?" My goosebumps says that a little bit more than that Legacy GT in the back :)

[@lucasdimond5968]

if you are wondering what the Drum and Bass song that they used at 5:10 it's by Pendulum - The Island pt 1 and 2

[@helir00]

Another cracking vid chaps.

[@zbxck12345]

0:51 really like that subaru key chain

[@keybenson]

Definitely the new "Top Gear" restoring cars is soooo popular 🎉🎉🎉

[@ghrenu]

I have bough a few cars from Torque GT, great business :)

[@Minace141]

Great video. I really love this cute little blue bubble

[@mobilespeed]

I remembered the last time I watched these Torque GT guys restored a barnfind Impreza P1...

[@Mile-long-list]

That toilet seat hood scoop is just the best part

[@Soravia]

Use gunblue aka rust blue to protect these metals that are not galvanized to get additional rust protection before primer goes on.

[@chadjones2308]

Yes all of them cars in that gallery were nice. But that Honda Integra type r 😍😍😍😍😱 👌

[@KuyaHandyKap]

out of my love for the Subaru WRX STi (even though I haven't had one😅), I had blue and gold as my wedding motif. 😁

That Pajero Evolution 💜

5:00 song is The Island (Steve Angello, An21 & Max Vangeli remix)

So ya when the world going to officially witness Season 5 Episode 2: Krakow, Poland, eh??? LEEEETS GOOOO YO!!!!

[@kitsvn]

Richard Hammond has a strong record of supporting us, the hooligan Subaru community.

[@lordstevewilson1331]

They need to check multiple of places, behind bumpers, under plastic sideskirts, and yes wheel arches.

[@niebieskisub]

I have the same event :) great car. I also had an rs4 b7 Clarcsson, I can say that no audi or bmw is as fun as this subaru :)

[@crit-c4637]

What happened to the finale for Project Jag? We haven't seen a head to head race between them yet.

[@ashleyhazell662]

I'd be fuming with the wash process if I were the sponsor. Apart from that, great video!

[@leedon74]

Great!!! A torque gt advert now

[@WH250398]

Speaking of Subaru, the WRX Estate from Top Gear was so awesome to watch. It absolutely demolished the Volvo and BMW in Africa.

[@lukecinahgv]

My only criticism is that we need more videos. Proper bingeworthy stuff

[@Rulle666]

I am Martin from Norway, and i approve this video👍

[@vinchazz]

Love that u use the Pendulum song at 5:02

[@dawidw.3221]

Its some remix?

[@vinchazz]

@@dawidw.3221 seems so, unofficial i guess

[@Kalepsis]

I think it would be cool to fully restore three cars from three different Grand Tour episodes, then have the guys drive them again for a new special.

[@deltadom33]

And to get them to modify them and send them to some weird country with a series of challenges provided by comments on KZbin This is a cool idea

Yeeeaaa Pendulum for drum n bass!

[@matt260]

GD STI's are fantastic, much better than the newer STIs. 35:65 power split, more power to the rear wheels on an AWD platform is perfection. Especially JDM market STI's with the EJ207, twinscroll turbo 8250rpm redline from factory.

[@petkokrushev3840]

Hawk STI split is not 35:65, I think it was 45:55

[@matt260]

@@petkokrushev3840 For US market correct, JDM market was 35:65 up until GR. US market final year of 35:65 was 2005.
