First drive in the AE86!

[@mrbookends]

I absolutely LOVE how authentic and just, *real*, this series is. Too many "built in 15 min" type videos out there that really mask the sheer amount of effort involved in building a car from the ground up. Can't wait for my stickers and shirt to show up!

[@endarior]

Those 'build in 15 min' videos are the absolute worst

[@gemizu4874]

I know right, There can be times were you spend an hour just trying to undo a single bolt, Building/modifying a car takes a long ass time

[@mint_au]

@@gemizu4874 funny you mention that me and my dad are restoring his 1996 ktm 250exc that he used to ride around everywhere and got stuck for an hour trying to remove a ser clip from the axle bearing because of how the pliers are shaped and the nose was to thick to grab onto it haha

[@SaabStory636]

Years and years of work to fruition, for reference I was mid way through highschool when I first found this series and even then it was a couple years or a year old and now I’m turning 20 in a couple weeks

[@MissinngNote]

I've waited almost 3 years for this very video

I remember when I first started watching this when I was 13. I’m 17 now. Thank you lads for sticking around. Been waiting to see this for awhile.

[@Antont0]

Imagine being someone who works close-by and one day you forget your phone at work and go back to get it and there is an ae86 with no doors, no bonnet, no fenders, no windows and no interior with just two lads driving around enjoying the moment. 😂 Congratulations on the first drive, we’ve all been waiting for this!

[@juiceboxforyou]

It was a long time coming

[@Wilderness_Recon]

Not that it hasn't been official from the start but I'm just now going to proclaim this build series the most authentic, well documented, emotional and uplifting series in the world. Congrats man on this milestone!

[@petroldan]

You guys are living the life! I am genuinely so happy to see you so excited with the progress.

She sounds absolutely lovely lad, must've been such an amazing feeling to finally get to drive her.

A massive boost of confidence with the build, its really picked up pace the last few months

[@Miraak0Konahrik]

@@juiceboxforyou I can absolutely imagine after all this time of getting rid of spidey cunts and rusty misery to get her to this point. Ya wouldn't think that it takes this much time but if you wanna do it properly it just does and I think this series goes to show some people the reality of saving old cars and stuff, which might be good for some younger car lads who wanna buy a shitbox and think they can get her looking mint in a few months lol

[@scottdeeleyphoto]

Eh dude, much love from Canada. Wanted to say your brake issue might be in the master cylinder, if you don't use a block of wood under the pedal when braking it can cause the piston to travel too far and you risk damaging the piston seal, I've done this in my EG before so I know from experience and actually learned about it in service tech school too.

[@juiceboxforyou]

I'm slow with the replies, and you might have seen later episodes. But we eventually figured it was a leaky piston seal

[@xHackerzzGen1]

Yup the boys!!!

Congrats to past Neil (?) How far back are the vlogs now anyways? Its kinda crazy, without all the door and glass in in it, it really shows what a coffin that car is. BTW, the order you've built this car is the order I wish everyone did. I'm always bummed out when I see really beautiful cars with worn out suspension and stock motors.

[@juiceboxforyou]

Much appreciated man! Yeah, sadly we couldn't leave anything alone on this build. Everything has been refreshed, every nut and bolt, everything, that's why its taking so long 😂
