Intro and music? Nah.. Just episode number and title. That's fine. I'm sure we are all Patrol nuts watching your build.

[@thecrazylatvian]

I think Patrol nuts are the only people watching, looking at the view count :D I ain't mad, I do this for fun and hopefully for people to get an idea in case someone is doing the same :)

[@PatrolLife]

What a milestone to hit!!! Can´t wait till i get to this point with my build!

[@thecrazylatvian]

I also didn't even hope to get to this point. I thought it would never happen, but now all that is left to do, is connect lights and check all the switches :) Obviously still need to do a crap ton of tidy up tasks :)

Patrol live kiedy oglądamy następny odcinek?, Jestem ciekawy na jakim etapie odbudowa

[@PatrolLife]

@@Rafal_Grycmacher Soon mate, youtube is 2nd priotity in my life so i'll do it when i got time :)

[@cidadaodorense3231]

Big milestone indeed!

[@brutupolska]

Friend, this series of videos are really good. I see in other comments that you are fine, good to know that, I was a bit worried. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for next videos with Patrol, your videos helped me a lot. You are a man! Keep pushing, greetings from Poland and upload new videos, please!

[@thecrazylatvian]

Now I feel awkward considering I have (spoiler alert) scheduled few videos on BMW. But yeah for Patrol I think after few BMW there will be at least one with Patrol where I will try to put everything together and then I will try to manage my finances the right way to have funds to weld the body and paint the bad boy. Long term channel direction all depends on finances but I wouldn't mind start building something for Drag Race, in Latvia there is practically nothing happening for that, because we have one even a year, but I did it way back when I was just getting around my first cars, so seems fun to hold as hobby. P.S. Last year I drove a bit around Poland, went to get my self two dogs "Jamniks". Never been there before, can officially say was pleasantly surprised. Also the highways... best thing ever, not like in Latvia where you have mostly one lane and speed limit of 90 km/h 🤣

[@JulianCoogan-zl1ru]

It sounds so good, WOW!

[@salfargo6098]

Well Done!

[@thecrazylatvian]

Long waited moment :) So happy! Thanks for encouragement!

[@iawra]

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

[@thecrazylatvian]

Thanks for the kind words! That really means a lot!

[@FS-kq7mc]

Congratulation my friend

[@thecrazylatvian]

Thank you very much! Need to get back on the project, winter has passed need to get on the wires :)

[@FS-kq7mc]

@@thecrazylatvian yes please Get back :D

[@Rafal_Grycmacher]

Nareszcie nowy odcinek juz myślałem że projekt odszedł na dalszy plan

[@thecrazylatvian]

Thank god for Google translate :D All I know was that language is Polish :) I agree that episodes are in no way in timely manner. Haven't started on the new wiring yet. Need to muster motivation :D

[@danielmitchell5814]

Wow man, its a huge hard work, thanks for showing everything in such details, it will help us in cleaning our Patrols

[@thecrazylatvian]

Trying my best to capture as much as possible. It's hard to find how to do stuff for such old car, so that's my main motivation. I'm just a bit sad that I'm getting lazy and not doing more on the car. Now I need to deal with wires but it's winter and temperature is below 0 Celsius and I'm doing everything in a tent, wires won't be happy if I start bending and twisting them :) Thanks for kind words and for stopping by, I really appreciate it!

[@danielmitchell5814]

@@thecrazylatvian man, get a Nissan Patrol Y60 service manual download, everything is given in it in details. When I work on my patrol, I just open the manual and its so easy then. All electrical wiring is given in it, have a look at it, its of 80 MB and consist of more than 1100 pages, it will help you a lot. Wiring is tricky, get it done by professional, apart from it , these are so simple to maintain Patrols. Hats off to you man for such hard work.

[@thecrazylatvian]

@@danielmitchell5814 For what ever reason your answer and initial comment went to spam folder in youtube studio, I put it back in :) But definitely I will do this with manual. Currently waiting for winter to pass. I hate dealing with frozen wires. Always scared that they may snap. In Latvia we get weather down to -20C well this year it's around -5 but still, don't want to spend 5 hours in simple tent doing wiring :D

[@danielmitchell5814]

@@thecrazylatvian no problem, even -5 c is way too low, specially in a tent. Good luck for your restoration, it will help me a lot to restore my Patrol interior. Thanka

[@JulianCoogan-zl1ru]

Hi Crazy, hope you will get back soon. Re channel intro, I think it might be good because it creates a familiar association to your channel and a kind of comfortable expectation of things to come but it has to be good.

[@thecrazylatvian]

Actually that is a good point regarding channel intro. And now my shitty intro that I had in mind wont do :D I will think about that. Currently thinking about posting few BMW videos. I got it from auction and it is beat up, need to fix it so thinking about making it a mini series while nothing is happening with Patrol.

[@JulianCoogan-zl1ru]

Definitely a good idea to keep the channel going, and BMW is popular!

[@Rafal_Grycmacher]

Soon summer and warm :) As the project progressed, I wrote private messages on FB but it probably didn't come.

[@thecrazylatvian]

Saw it just now. for what ever reason I miss FB notifications... Strange.

[@danielmitchell5814]

Hello brother, how are you, Daniel here again from Pakistan. How is project Nissan Patrol going on?

[@thecrazylatvian]

Hi, I'm glad to hear from you Daniel :) It has been a while since I last touched my Nissan. Kind of life and finances got in the way. But over all I managed to get it to drive on it's own. Now next step would be to figure out all the wiring like lights and stuff. From interior all works fine. Car is holding temp and all seems to be good. I have vacuum leak in brakes but that is expected since I have lot of tubes missing still. Overall. I cant find time to spend sitting in my tent and tinkering with wires. After wires all that is left is to send the car out to weld body and paint and then assemble interior. As usual the last steps always takes the longest :D
