Fresh Chrome & Bumperette Delete // 1974 2UZ V8 Celica

[@mfl950]

There are so many KZbinrs, rushing projects to get content out, and then there is Sarah . Don't ever change , you should be proud of your attention to detail...🎉

[@stevehornett4896]

Amen!

[@jwenting]

yeah, always wonder why the "let's do this full restauration in 5 days" gets audiences so excited. All it ends up doing is create something that's a piece of junk. And ends up killing people who actually get to operate it when critical components inevitably fail. Same thing goes for all those TV "reality shows" that served as inspiration for those youtubers.

[@hiaceadventurevan3929]

“Sorry for not having a rotisserie and a team of 40 people”. I feel the same way, I am restoring a car and you sometimes feel like you aren’t doing it correctly because of what you see online. We are doing it correctly and with our own hands 👍 keep up the amazing work

[@REO_Speed_Dragon]

Noted as well, we're not all scrillionaires.

[@1968CudaGuy]

Yes, I left my millions in my other pants. Doing what you can with what you've got. Absolutely brilliant work on the Celica Sarah..

[@harryshort2281]

Not just methods and practices that get questioned too but choices of project vehicles too unfortunately

[@jetsons101]

Sarah is the perfect example of "Do it right the first time."

[@Riley_1955]

Or you could think of her as a "Measure twice and cut once" type of person ..... The women is a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the unwatchable cringe worthy junk on YT.

The sock for the boot, the nursing home smell, Sarah humor is off the chart. Rockin with Van Halen forever!

[@paulwhite9424]

Haggis is a traditional Scottish sausage made from a sheep’s stomach stuffed with diced sheep’s liver, lungs and heart, oatmeal, onion, suet and seasoning. Most haggis is part-cooked before being sold and needs to be simmered in boiling water for one to two hours. You can also buy vegetarian haggis based on beans. Haggis is traditionally served with ‘neeps ‘n’ tatties’ - mashed swede and potatoes - and whisky on Burns Night.

[@TarmenAmzarian]

And when it's well-made, it's absolutely delicious and has very little of the irony, game taste, offal often does. Direct quote from my very impressed friend upon first time trying it: "This is the brownest tasting thing, I have ever had." And that was definitely meant in a positive way.

[@keithschrack]

"One gives strength to the limbs, the other fire to the blood for dancin'."

Sarah; Your comment about not having 40 behind the scene workers is exactly why we love your channel. I like the fact your projects take time and errors are made. It makes you one of us, or perhaps us, one of you. Thanks for all your work and videos. Always a joy to watch. Cheers.

Mighty Car Mods did an MR2 also. It was a rust-fest!

[@kevinf.barnaby7448]

My first car at 16 was a 1973 Celica ST with an 18-RC engine. My father and I rebuilt the engine in the garage as well as replaced the timing chain. Once we did the work for $126 from NAPA in parts and put back together, it started right up with the help from the Kraco 5EQ K-Mart radio I put in while working on the car without my father knowing. Great memories and love watching your videos as so down to earth and just someone that loves cars. I had at least 5 Celica's in my early years that were all throw away cars of the day due to rust, but wish I had every one of them today. Thanks again and keep it going!

That chrome bumper looks awesome, I am a huge fan of big chrome bumpers and lots of stainless trim. I miss my old cars that were like that . This is fun to watch you build this Celica.

Just a tip for raising an unloaded engine hoist. If you raise the boom to where you want it with one hand and give the jack a couple of pumps with the other, it will stay at that height so you don't have to pump a million times to bring it up.
