Hiring James to just muck around with you with cars a couple days a week is fantastic. I love watching you diversify your output and keep your personal interest high. Also this channel has unironically displaced my watching of people like Junkyard Digs, your editing and personality is much better for much the same type of work.

[@AtomicReverend]

I am 44, I live in America, in Southern California and I am a major gearhead and I'm absolutely entertained by this little craptastic car build. Edit: Rock Auto (an online parts store) here in the states claims to have the complete gasket set for a Daihatsu I used a 1988 I'm pretty sure they are all the same but I'm no Daihatsu expert not exactly a common car here. I just looked again and they have just the head set for 22 bucks USA. It's definitely worth looking there is actually quite a bit still available... Whats crazy is those cars were rare when I was a kid and they were new but they still have a fair selection of parts.
