Hey Mike happy new year.. that rear spoiler looks so good almost perfect to the white Acura RSX , you should make a clip installing it but first that lower small trunk lip must be removed then it will look fantastic !

[@Darkvoidproductions1]

I know you said you were gonna pass on the dash in the Z because of the lifting by the vent but its a very common issue and super easy fix, That dash has no cracks and finding another one down the road may be harder or a lot more expensive so I'd highly recommend grabbing that dash

I saw a F&F replica in a junkyard rotting away. Paint was good, bodykit good, body itself good. It was just sitting their, poor car

[@pablodelgado7919]

@@Alex-vz2jz That seems to always be the case. 9 out of 10 2nd gen Eclipses you see in junkyards are F&F Replicas, which is a shame one because they're amazing cars if kept clean and unmolested yet at the same time it doesn't surprise me that most of the Eclipses that meet this fate is either due to rust, blown engines due to the owners being absolutely negligent for most of the time or unfinished projects that somehow failed. But for the few that i've seen over the years they have good parts for use as long rust hasn't already destroyed it.

[@jamesmorton2063]

Just want to say that I really respect your approach to sponsors, showing off products with genuinely practical use cases for your audience and clearly endorsing things that you can and will utilise. These videos as of late have been absolutely fascinating and I've learnt SO much about cars in general from you, which has made maintaining my recent miata purchase a lot easier than it ever would have been. As always, keep up the awesome content and thank you!

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks man! Means alot. I enjoy filming and editing these unique products. My thought process with accepting and promoting sponsors is: 'if I won't use it, I won't promote it' I would rather maintain a positive reputation than accept all of the sponsors that come my way just for the money, ya know? Thanks for sticking around man

Love the junkyard videos! Would love to know the backstories from some of the more interesting cars in there, why they ended up there, if only cars could speak eh… Junkyards are called scrapyards over here in the UK, sadly with ever increasing health and safety rules the days of wandering around picking parts yourself are mostly long gone, you have to ask at the counter for what you want and only if it’s worth their while they’ll pull it for you…not helpful when you just need odd bits here and there or even to measure up parts from other models for example. Love the vids, sending big love from UK 🇬🇧

[@Karmy.]

It looks like a lot of them are sadly just victims of Midwest winters

[@imnota]

I'm in Belgium, and same thing, here the days of taking stuff off yourself are done, and therefore the prices are also absolutely not interesting anymore, it often comes up that brand new stuff is barely more expensive or even cheaper... If you need anything that you can't really get new, either you search for someone parting out their car, or look for online junkyards, often coming from countries that aren't as crazy when it comes to pricing.

[@fatfalcon3434]

I wonder why they keep getting stricter with health and safety regulations tho. I've never felt unsafe in such places.

[@kiwi3835]

The fact that I'm learning more about cars through junkyard videos than anything else is crazy. Love em. I wanna go to a junkyard now

That eclipse is a RS. The GSX and GST had a higher spoiler and I doubt anyone would take those stickers off. The engine is a 420a, you can tell because the cam pulleys aren't under the hood bump. The 4g63 needed extra clearance. Pretty much the same reason I junked mine back in the day, it's a Chrysler.

[@LOVE-VIBES-X-PROJECT-CARS]

Have a huge soft spot for Firebirds and 4th gen Camaros. The shape what does it for me. Lucky find on that type r. Would like to see more junkyard videos but probably not that junkyard. Too much mud man haha. Yeah Z's are too wide for type x wings. Best bet would be a 326 wing or 326 rep for that style.

[@PrizzaMike]

I agree, Firebirds were always cool to me, idk much about the platform tho I might just have to find more yards! I've been driving farther and farther out to check out these different yards! I agree, type x was way too narrow of a wing for the z32 haha

I am absolutely call you my psycologist. Because, i am also into cars and working also on a tank as my hobby, but my nerve-strings are not that massive as yours. I get very fast angry after a 3th not working attempt. As you may can imagine, rust is mostly on the worst parts to weld, always the wrong tool ready because of the one screw, that you have not seen, tools break, nuts go round or the missing 3th hand is not availeble to help you install some part. And working on tanks is als not that easy!!. Seeing you still smiling during working in mudd, with wet feets, working in rain with no umbrella or so and still - never angry is in my opinion the best for your mental health. I would like to be more like you in thatchapter of my life! I still try and love to see you working on junk and junkyards!
