This was the first series I watched by Tavarish

[@xavtek]

Same here, this is how I discovered Tavarish and I don’t really like car stuff :D

[@davidt3563]

Same!!

[@Livingstonshoedios]

me too

[@stevencosta]

Is this a recycled video. I thought he did this already??

[@UndBeebs]

@@stevencosta He did. I think this is just a compilation of all of the videos put into one, just for ease of access. A "mega-compilation", if you will.

[@howiefeltersnatcher]

You’ve got to start a series of buying back all of the pimp my ride cars, and bringing them back to life

[@mattcan69]

Re-Pimp my former ride ?

[@egyptology22]

Why?

[@howiefeltersnatcher]

That’s what I meant re-pimp what to do and what not to do and what is done correctly

[@joecalderon3920]

He has to first rebuild every unfinished project he has going on right now.

[@albi2k88]

Tavarish in some podcast mentioned that owners of other Pimp My Ride cars send him sell offers with ridiculous price.

[@deeablow2018]

So smart to put this on 2varish as a "re-run" episode. One of my favorites. I sure wish more of these Pimp my Ride vehicles could be restored!

[@socaljzx]

You can now see this in the 3rd story of the parking garage at the Peterson Museum. I just saw this van collecting dust 1 week ago.

[@TristanSpeno]

:(

[@WindsEternal]

I remember that episode of Pimp My Ride and have wondered for many years what became of this van. So cool that YOU are the one to bring it back to life!!!

[@jimmcdonald5721]

Tavarish & Matt Armstrong should start a 'pimp my ride' show

[@egyptology22]

Why? So that in 20 years their legacy is ruined just like this pathetic van? The next person comes along and jokes that this was Tavarish, can we rebuild it? There is a reason pimp my ride died.

[@martinp.cadillackid3408]

Simp my Ride.

[@arnisonxxvi]

Be safe

[@markhudson5268]

not a pimp my ride show, just more collabration builds, need to see "SUE" finished

[@Hanlonsgarage]

Look how small freddy looked when this was recorded!!

[@faust4456]

I'm a bit sleep deprived and was confused at first cause it felt like I'd seen this before.

[@lawnside82]

we all have.. a few years ago

[@CanadianArchaeologist]

I first discovered Tavarish with this build. Since then I have watched all his videos. KZbin must have recommended him because a lot of people started watching at that point.

[@keithstewart8109]

Same here

[@Kavie93]

ALL his videos is crazy lol 😂

[@MrDopey28]

Omg jack flying 😂😂

[@violinmiata]

I was at the Petersen Automotive Museum and this hunk of Americana was parked in the parking garage on the top floor. It was super dirty too lol

[@tariqueejazkhan]

Why did they take it when they didn't want to take care of it.😢

[@violinmiata]

@@tariqueejazkhan pretty sure Freddy left it there 😂

[@patreoncom_pimpmyriderevisited]

yes i saw it there too very dirty

[@jacobwadebrock]

This is like the 3rd or 4th time this has been re-uploaded. Good video worth at least 1 watch,,maybe 2.

[@mikes78]

I'm glad it wasn't just me getting deja-vu here and it was the original video.

[@burnme5522]

Honestly thought he bought it back again to do a new rebuild

[@Thisistrulyoddtv_Mark]

@@burnme5522so did I

[@finnmacleod3774]

We'd love it if you rebuilt or built a lowrider sometime. So cool. Love the videos and keep up the fantastic work❤

[@MrChipDouglas1]

Seen a few people break their windshield by leaving the wiper arm up. It has enough spring tension to crack the windshield if the wiper arm releases without the blade. That arm seems to have no tension 😂.

[@veemacks7255]

Been there, done that. To make it worse, I'd had the windshield replaced (for unrelated reasons) just a few weeks earlier.

[@RazzAlerio]

Still one of my favorite video series to be honest, something timeless about this series, your and Jared’s chemistry works magic 😂❤

[@tpad6]

I love Jared's screentime throughout this. He loves the camera 📸

[@LeonPhythian69]

Where is he these days? Anyone know?

[@jacobcurzon420]

I loved when you made this episode. I think I started watching you around this time, and you absolutely killed it bro.

[@alexguerra6135]

This is the very first video i saw from Tavarish when he originally posted it. So happy it was recommended to me

[@scoobyman13]

I’ve always wanted a professional sounds system like that. Can always dream as never will be able to afford 😂

[@DrewMcLawhorn-cz8rd]

Nice to actually see someone else buff out headlights lol instead of just sanding and clear coating them.

[@jfv65]

blast from the past!

[@mullorip8681]

You should sign up for Lyft and just pick people up 😂😂😂

[@Coolit2683]

Pretty sure in 2029 Tavarish will find this van again in a barn, sitting for 5 years, fix it AGAIN, and regift it to Tyler. I love this stupid crappy van... It's the best joke gift you can ever give anyone you love to annoy.

[@chrisstephenson8311]

Hey 2varish I would make the jewelry tubes …dispensers for m&ms or candy to eat while watching movies in the back👍🏻

[@angelachristina]

I thought of that too👍🏼

[@esvedium]

There are sooooo many “KZbin 2016” vibes in this video, it’s frickin GREAT!! 😂💪

[@Alex0992]

Whenever contents getting low we going to bring the pimp my ride van out for the third rebuild baby lets goooooo

[@colemckinnon4814]

see how many pimp my ride vehicle you can acually find and fix them hahaha boom new build series haha but no that be cool to see more builds like this in the future also like the collabs with Mat

[@Brainshatterer]

I'm gonna be doing a little of that soon. Still have my wife's car and we got the Malibu done just before hers that needs a redo.

[@patreoncom_pimpmyriderevisited]

we got 7 of them

[@napalmholocaust9093]

Headlights need a uv coating that wore off and let them cloud, like acylic. It'll last 3 or 4 years.

[@mindthependulum6245]

Over 25 years of autobody work, I have found some crazy stuff in customers cars. All techs have found guns dope and sex toys, but have you ever opened the trunk of a 70’s continental and found it FULL unclean used sex toys? Imagine Texas summer sun beating down on that trunk for who knows how long, cooking that awful mess. The interior was fuzzy zebra fur and the car was metallic pink too. Told the boss I just couldn’t do it because of the smell. He cursed at me, stormed over and yanked open the trunk, that smell hit him and he hurled. He told that pimp wannabe to get lost too. That isn’t even the worst thing I’ve found in a customer car either.

[@PJtheAudiTech]

Didn’t you gift this to Tyler too 😂. This was such a cool story. “Pimp My Ride” used to erk the heck out of me when I was younger 😅

[@grantgwyn1992]

Holy moly. I've just realised I'm not subscribed. I've been watching since day 1. Now subscribing

[@jimmywait74]

Hoovie ended up giving this to a museum.

[@craftycoaster7488]

I never get tired of seeing this van... My '99 Plymouth Grand Voyager still holds a special place in my heart..

[@chrisstephenson8311]

Probably a lot of kid’s conceived in those😝👍🏻👍🏻

[@simduino]

Jack should wear a new t-shirt "jack, the brake tester" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@shinokami007]

music choice and use is really good, thanks Freddy

[@SmallBlackPoint]

A bit of nostalgia. Freddy changed a lot since. I love him still tho. I hope you are not pushin yourself too far and still enjoy what you do mate.

[@ZippoMan18]

1:30:17 Brake check!! LMAO!! This made me laugh so hard!!

[@bigmizzymike]

He tried to kill bro.😂😂😂

[@White_Rose_Al]

I really enjoyed this one, simply because this project was realistic for all home enthusiasts in terms of cost.

[@johnanchovie2b]

Love the retrospective with Ed, Hoovie and Wizard!

[@Kamisama1738]

Freddy…you’re a couple years late to making this😭😭

[@Viggggggr]

Normal people don’t have money to restore this so it’s nice content for him to dump money and time into. This car will definitely a childhood car hope they don’t destroy it

[@patricksmith926]

Bro he about to give it to Tyler....aka hoovies garage 😂😂😂😂dude does nothing but destroys cars

[@adammccarty]

This series is what brought me to the Tavarish channel, gladly watching it again. Sometimes, you gotta dance with who brung ya.

[@ck17350]

Thanks for putting this all together in one video Tavarish. It was great to rewatch the entire thing as this one one of the most fun videos I think you guys have done. Such a silly van but such a satisfying restoration of it!

[@joostoon]

The more i started watching this, the more i kept thinking ive seen this before, but i know i didnt watch it a month ago.

[@zollypop1706]

You should buy every pimp my ride car ever done and fix them as a series!

[@MarkSvara]

Send some gifts north. Canada needs love. Everything's so expensive here

[@torestangeland7381]

Great amount of crazy.. 🙂 Remember the episode going on TV in Norway. Memory lane for sure..

[@----REDACTED----]

I really like these creative videos. At the same time I feel it resurrected a generation of media that my age missed out on

[@downlowgo_401]

Dighton is not Boston bro… Those are straight up fighting words! It’s also rocking a Rhodie plate. I used to see this thing in Warwick

[@MajorOutage]

This. Not all of Massachusetts is "Boston". But it's okay, Freddy. You ain't the first, and won't be the last. PS. Hi, Neighbor!

[@downlowgo_401]

@@MajorOutage what’s up, brother? I’m glad you agree on this also. I think pretty much anyone outside of the New England thinks that Massachusetts is just another name for South Boston and Rhode Island is made up cartoon state named Quahog

[@leonardoleopoldo1992]

As we say here in Brazil - “ This is pure 2000’s juice”

[@stevehoover6073]

They were nutorious for having the belt slide off anytime it was raining. I had one and ended up installing a Gates Grooved belt. Where it was grooved on both sides.

[@georgepaterson4825]

that was a lot of memories in one video brilliant TAVARISH👍

[@jaredmorris0909]

Nooo way! It was in my neighborhood! I didn’t know it was on pimp my ride!! That’s crazy!

[@Rudyfastcat1]

It was always funny when these two guys worked together.

[@TwistedSMF]

I think I read somewhere that is why West Coast Customs pulled out from the show initially. In public they said "Well, We got so popular from the show, We could not just do the show with our regular customers. It just got too much for us to handle" but in reality it was cause the network wanted them to do half assed work to keep costs down. WCC was like "Yeah, Fuck that." LOL

[@jasonthewiczman5442]

Nice peace of history- I remember this van- it's super cool

[@lloydbellis7360]

That was nostalgic, typical custom van. 😎😎😎👍👍👍

[@QweefCommander69]

Leaving the wiper arm up without a blade is wild.

[@392backwards]

Bruh this got me in the lambo fast and furious series 😂❤

[@azizrahman2]

Love watching full episodes of the old videos, keep it coming

[@ryandale826]

Mad to see how empty the garage is compared to now 🤣👍 love seeing the growth.

[@MintyFreshTurds]

Beautiful restoration! The denim upholstery alone made this worth it. After you restore all the Pimp my Ride cars that didn't burn down, you can make all the orange county choppers functional if that is possible.

[@liamwagner156]

I was a little young to have the TV when pimp my ride was on but I saw enough of it to fall in love with cars and to see this today just makes me happy I wish I could find a gem like this

[@Gouranga552]

Best Christmas episode ever.

[@derickbrits208]

Man just loved this upload. So much fun and laughter!

[@Adwest2323]

It’s cool seeing all the places where I live, I’ve bought stuff from that lady at advance auto before.

[@janetc4306]

Awesome video. Better than a Hollywood movie! Love your channel!

[@shortmonk9527]

I did wonder how many years you would have this van before you touched it finally.. Great to see an old legend get a new life

[@ChrisConley1]

This is old footage that van is long gone

[@montanamountainman]

Freddie, buddy, YOU are my favorite car tuber. I love your approach and your attitude is very refreshing. While you play with stuff i could only dream about, you still figured out a way to be relatable. Looking forward to seeing the p-1 ripping. Keep being you, and stay true to yourself. You are the reason people watch. Take care brother(can't wait to pick up my r8😅🤘)

[@julianbailey6505]

i am so so glad you are fixing up that van .

[@gaia7527]

I missed this van few years ago some previous video I watch this in Malaysia here

[@Rad_Brad813]

My mans reached waaay back into the archives for this repost. A whole series of these pimp my ride restorations, but actually functional not like how the show did, would be dope. Its crazy that cars from this show would need to be considered restorations nowadays. yeah they were already old cars, fixed up then gutted, but still 20 years went by way too fast.

[@FtanmoOfEtheirys]

I remember seeing that van for sale on Craigslist about 12 years ago when I lived in Rhode Island.
