did yall get permission to use the Kum & Go rights?? If so that's absolutely sick because I live near where kum & go was founded

Good job on the Kum & Go shirt, now that they were bought out by Maverick, and will no longer exist.

[@aaronnaas6546]

Its fun watching you guys tearing apart cars I spent 25 years of my life putting together. I worked at DSM/Mitsubishi Motors in Normal IL from Nov 89 to its closure.

[@MrJessegsx]

Oh wow!!! That’s so cool! Thank you for your part in bringing these cars to us!!!

[@bubferner2146]

Was that wiper assembly installation up to factory specification?

[@MrJessegsx]

@@bubferner2146 it was. Absolutely lmaoo

The real question is, do you work at Rivian now?? Bet it's probably a little different than how Mitsubishi operated haha!

Ben really assembled the DSM Avengers 🫡

[@matthewmohri9990]

To all the people working on Ben's car, I highly suggest therapy so DSM 4g63 PTSD doesn't set in and all your dreams are of rusted pieces and parts of Gen 2 Talons and Eclipses, and bad DIY welds, mods, etc. . The build however is highly entertaining, educational, and your team of friends helping you put this project together are great at what they do. Over all this has been highly entertaining. Your team is also quite entertaining showing the patience they have but are quite professional with a good sense of humor. On cam the DSM Legends work well together, can we say possible KZbin spinoff channel being started the 4 of them?

[@MrJessegsx]

Way too late for therapy lol. And I would love to do something like that but we’re all pretty spread out. Paul and Kenny are close, and Chris and I are close together, but a lot of space separates all of us.

[@MrGsxr007]

Yeah we are beyond the point where therapy will help....

[@ryanrydes6372]

You know how this series feels? It feels like we are watching a bunch of surgeon doing their masterpiece and saving a dying beast and donating all his organs to someone. What a great build done meticulously. DSM Community has a lot of great people, what a good opportunity to see them all in one project. I am excited to see how this build turns out.

[@Onewheelordeal]

They guy planning how to save the old chassis like it would ever get a new fuel tank again is a true DSM lover the way he just assumed the car wasn't going to be thrown away

[@IcanDriveIt]

I used to be a DSM guy. Had a 95 TSI and a 97 TSI. I loved the cars but the community is unbelievably knowledgeable. The cars are getting harder to find in good shape and what used to be a cheap/fast car is now not. The guys who stay in it are either the easy come/easy go type, or they are FOR REAL.

[@jdmchickkustomz9417]

Well I'm trying to restore a 99 Spyder and you're right these cars are getting hard to find parts are impossible for restoration so I'm having a custom fabricate some stuff

[@big4g63t]

I've got a 91 rust free 6blt/4blt with new fuel tank.... let me know if y'all know anyone interested in that and a matching parts car and 20+year DSM collection of parts that come with it.

[@NickLantzy]

Every Saturday, I wake up and watch G&G while I make myself a latte. It's better than Saturday morning cartoons.

[@SohnDesMenschen]

Unfortunately I've already had mine before the vid came up.

[@davidperlich9196]

Funny story, that's exactly what I'm doing right now

[@dongordon2754]

[@smokin80]

I’m just here to watch Paul and Jesse…. I have the same relationship with them as they used to have…. Years of chatting online about this stuff. Enjoyable video. Look forward to more.

[@avengednick]

I’ve been stupid excited for this video and not even an DSM fan. 😂 Can’t wait to see this come together

[@luckduck5031]

WHERES THE 240

[@rickbdatsun]

I'm only halfway through the video, but I'm guessing after everything is swapped over, someone whispers to the Eclipse unibody, "It's okay. You can rest now", and it totally collapses into rust flakes and shards of JB Weld.

[@gsudarshan7251]

This video also needed Jafromobile's touch and expertise. The OG DSM Guru

[@KreakCars]

As someone who also bought an unexpectedly horribly rusted awd car. I wish that I didn't try to fix my existing chassis. I started to fix and patch everything up and it's too late to swap a chassis now because of all the work I've put into it, but I wish I just found a clean one from the beginning:(

[@Hawk7886]

Dude don't let the sunk cost fallacy win. If it's not worth it, it's not worth it, doesn't matter how much blood, sweat, and tears in the thing.

[@DisgustedHeart]

I never would have guessed that the best part of the DSM community wasn't the rusty, neglected, and abused DSM cars themselves. Thanks for clearing that up for us Ben!

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Ben and Crew.

[@TheProntoOne]

Always had a soft spot for the Eclipse GS (and Talon). Australia wasn't lucky enough to get them ! In fact, there is only 1 road registered Eclipse GS that I know of in the country (might be more now, not sure). Very cool seeing this transformation.

[@MultiAdrian46]

The way everyone introduced themselves made it sounds like a DSM intervention 💀

[@teslawizardvvv3]

Nice Isle of Man TT shirt

[@mavricxx]

I know this is a quick swap but I'd personally would LOVE to see this beauty's suspension fully powerder coated/painted and renewed with new stuff. There's something about a fresh suspension that's clean and upgraded that just feels amazing not just driving it.

[@MrJessegsx]

Would’ve loved to if we had the time.

[@mikeytongson4611]

I did this exact thing with my 3000gt, I had a 94 sl that got rear ended so i got a 98 base chassis (although gutted and a rolling shell) and swapped everything from one chassis to another since everything still worked (engine, trans, wiring, interior, suspension etc). It was no easy task but I got it done and to see this happen with a DSM makes me happy. Huge respect for anyone who gets it done, especially having experience having done it myself. It's a little on the extreme side for the usual home mechanic but it just goes to show that it all really just depends on the determination of the owner to keep the car and platform alive. Better to salvage everything and do a body transplant than to let another one of these cars die and rot away because they're a dwindling number and a dying platform.

[@AnotherPaulShin]

So cool seeing this! My first car was a 98 Eclipse. Great memories, I love seeing that a few of these remain.

[@mastercricket7626]

Got to give a mad shout out and props to Paul I believe it was (with the glasses) for having the respect and courtesy and decency to actually think of the next owners troubles building th car .. although it's a scrap car I just feel he deserves the respect and recognition for that as it is a dying species to see someone so courteous to think of the next guy ... peace and love all keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z famz and keep having fun

[@tkskagen]

Ben should make an "UNFORTUNATE AUTO" shirt with a graphic of the rusted out ECLIPSE on it!

[@MisterLowrider]

Great episode!! I can't wait to hear the first start up and see the driving footage!!

[@turbinator1990]

[@ProjectZGarage]

This brings back memoires I had a 1995 eagle talon and I liked it over the Eclipses it had the same body but the different bumper/lights and wing were different and made it stand out.

[@mikebessette5811]

Love how one of the guys was talking about how great it is to work with guys that have worked on DSM's as much as him, then the next shot is him looking at the SRS module under the console and calling it the ABS module. The 2G DSM's that had ABS had the module mounted under a funky plate on the passenger footwell.

[@MrJessegsx]

Yes and you hear me correct myself after. Been a while since I’ve been around the stock interior of a 2G.

[@PH03N1X_83]

Awesome to see new life being breathed into a DSM and so many DSM addicts chipping in on this project!

[@mikelyons9971]

When we were kids we had cartoons now I get to wake up to G&G and I love it! Granted I’m biased to DSMs but I’ll take it.

[@brodieandre]

Cool to see this mish mash of DSM'rs coming together. This community always gets a bad wrap for being shitheads and not unified... But these cars are such amazing platforms...
