Hunting down some 1 & 2UZ V8's for parts, as well as stuff for my Focus WRC Project and ended up finding tons of cool old cars in here!

Sarah's encyclopedic knowledge of cars, the years and what engine/accessories came with them is truly impressive. I liked this video. It was like a box of chocolates!

[@mikehunn1813]

Mmmmmmm chocolate.

[@fteoOpty64]

Well, if Sarah could ever collaborate with SamCrac that will be a blast!. Like building a wrecked Escallade for Sam's stepmon!....

[@tonyrusso9088]

Angel should start his own KZbin channel. It could be called, "The Foodcake Network", and deal with trials and tribulations of being Sarah's good-natured faithful sidekick!

[@SarahnTuned]

He already has one with a classic mustang build on it (Rookie Pilot is the channel)

[@andresmatty3864]

That’s funny lol

[@michaelblacktree]

ROFL

[@tanner882]

This isn’t HER channel…..so just keep that in mind when watching these “entertainment videos”

[@tonyrusso9088]

@@tanner882 Whose channel is it then?

[@twistedwizard2264]

It's not a junk yard when Sarah is there, it's a car show😁

[@michaelhony1645]

The ford/Mazda partnership existed in the 70’s and 80’s, but in reverse. Mazda manufactured the b2000 pickup and it was rebadged as the ford courier. The partnership was reversed in ‘93 when ford manufactured the Ranger and it was rebadged as the Mazda b series

[@mostcom]

You're breaking the hearts of all the silly boys that love to say that the Ranger is a Mazda.

[@neckcrank2663]

I love watching your show. Your sense of humor and awkward delivery is awesome!

[@bitkeeper4lj]

I'd pay for a Junk Yard tour with Sarah as a guide.

[@mothmagic1]

Who wouldn't?

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Sarah, I love boneyard tour videos. Between you and Faye Hadley, the two of you are the junkyard queens! Keep up the great work.

[@SarahnTuned]

I love Faye, I Hope eventually her and I can make time for a junkyard trip together. Go bug her about it and I will too lol

[@niklaswejedal463]

Oh - junkyards... they are both goldmines and places of utter horror: so many cars you want to save from the claws of death... And thanks for sneaking in more Focus-content! Much appreciated! Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome! Good night from Sweden!

[@elliottcarson1248]

Unfortunately people don't appreciate old cars like they use to. I can almost guarantee most examples of cars from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s won't exist anymore in another 10 years.

[@Shadow_Banned_Conservative]

@@elliottcarson1248 I think it's been that way since the beginning of time. I grew up in the 80s and saw lots of cars back then that you'd love to find in junkyards today. Lots of 80s F-bodies, lots of 60s muscle like Malibus, Cutlasses, etc. I'm sure they were all crushed at some point.

[@elliottcarson1248]

@@Shadow_Banned_Conservative that's understandable, I always assumed cars like that sat in junkyards and fields long enough to get restored because recycling wasn't as common back then. I could be wrong though, after all I'm only 23.

[@Shadow_Banned_Conservative]

@@elliottcarson1248 Today I imagine it's worse than it was 40 years ago because of the sheer number of cars that are sold each year, millions and millions of new cars each year world-wide. More cars go to the salvage yard and less room to store them as salvage yards disappear because of environmental regulations. We also had cash for clunkers more than a decade ago that sent a lot of cars to the crusher. It was truly sad as you saw cars that can't be replaced that were still running but surrendered for destruction. I saw 80s Corvettes, 80s and 90s F-Body cars, Mustangs, and 80s Cadillacs that all came in under the C4C program, all destroyed. As we move faster and faster to EVs, look for more classics to be lost forever.

[@jafinch78]

@@Shadow_Banned_Conservative Part of my nightmares. Like at least some waste is used to refine steel... yet I just am amazed at the masses of plastics (and maybe rubbers too) that are not utilized for their mass and at least energy like some tires material is when smelting. I mean... wow... fruitcake fairytale funding of delusions on cocaine pipe dream laced with whatever mix..., and not the funding for resources that are readily available that might need some input and process infrastructure to get the outputs that don't litter and pollute.

[@davidf2281]

Angel wins the humor contest today with, "...this Protoge here is a prime example of my friend can do it cheaper."

[@michaelj7069]

Food Cake is bringing the humor. You guys are making an awesome team.

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Enjoy your junkyard visits! Just the greatest! 😊♥️

[@mikefrench3800]

Even taking pound cake to the scrap yard. I like him!

[@jamiegroves1761]

Junk yard antics ❤️ Foxy Lady! I meant Foxy Body.Sorry Fox Body.😬 Love the 80s 😎🍺👍🇦🇺

[@kimai1641]

Sarah, just get the rear subframe assy from the X-type AWD. That'll give you tubular-ish arms and will locate the suspension pick-up points. It's also a ford so parts should be cheap! You might be able to use a Lincoln LS rear subframe assy. Remember the LS had a 5-speed option too so that may open some creative idea's for you.

[@1969Risky]

1:43 Ford Australia built SA30 Capri. At least we're represented in a wreckers yard!

[@ynotw57]

The two of you are such a great pair! Charismatic, funny, punny, and you work so well together. Love it!

[@Yormsane]

8:31 Wow, that's my favourite Mercedes of all time, the 190D. Sad to see it in a junkyard, those things could do 500,000+ miles easily, with minimal maintenance. The 'Cairo taxi' just kept going and going.

[@GhostRyderFPV]

Angel's close proximity to Sarah over these last few months is evident-ing

[@neurokinetik]

I LOL'd at "LS shipping crates" 😆

[@petermoller8337]

Morning coffee with an auto correct historian. What ever you do Sarah will be great 🇦🇺😊👍

[@danw1955]

Favorite line-of-the-day.. "LS shipping crates" (referring to the clapped out Chevy pickups)🤣😆👍

[@grahambailey2692]

Good luck finding a rear bumper, I have truble finding parts in scrap yards too, your sense of humour makes it interesting to watch

[@SarahnTuned]

I have my US Spec SVT bumper still.. as much as I hate to, its going to get cut up for this.

[@McGowJobs]

We haven't had a Sarah-in-the-salvage-yard episode in some time. Looking forward to this! (Commenting while the ads play at the start)

[@SarahnTuned]

I’ll try to do a couple per year.

[@aijcadd]

Nothing better than Sarah in a Junk Yard, just like a kid in a candy store.

[@Primus54]

Hello Sarah. I’m thinking the score-keeper was getting a little generous on your side of the ledger? 😉 I’m always amazed at your encyclopedic memory of engines by sight. Thank you. 👍👍👍

[@nbrowser]

Sarah....when you said "LS shipping crates" I laughed...thanks for the constant humour!

[@snarktwain644]

The Mazda B2000 was the platform for that era's Ford Courier.

[@throttlewatch4614]

I love a stroll through the junkyard Also leave the Focus just front wheel drive

[@sadmarinersfan8935]

We totally need more vids like this hearing your reaction and knowledge on all the cars never gets old

[@garyshaw3112]

Sarah I love your junk yard hunts .It is cool to learn from your experience on cars

[@thecashew8077]

YES ! Love junkyard videos 👍👍👍👍

[@brendanwhite9799]

The junk yard visit is always 👌 interesting the rare things that you find 😀

[@ianprice2298]

It is amazing that you can have that much fun in a junkyard.

[@Nothing-zw3yd]

I had a 1998 Amigo, with the rag top, I really liked it. Drove it from Seattle to NY in 2002 when I moved back here. No cruise control, and that rag top acted like a sail while driving across Montana and North Dakota, it was all I could do to keep it on the road. My ex-wife ended up totalling it on an icy road one night, going too fast for conditions, spun it around and just as it was stopping it hit the lip of a drop off into a field and it gently rolled over onto it's top. Not even a bruise on her, luckily. Glad I spent the extra for the gap insurance that the ex didn't want to pay for.

[@dinsdaleseven1627]

Excellent video. Love the Junk Yard Crawl.

[@fishflash1]

You know this yard as well as I know the isles of Costco. A nice change of pace and always amazed at your encyclopedic knowledge of cars.

[@TMERUNNR]

Sarah, Q👑👑en of the Junkyard Finds!💯 Luv it!

[@I-Libertine]

What a great channel. Y'all do a wonderful job.

[@bobmiller7426]

This was fun. Living vicariously through your efforts.

[@senatorchinchilla5389]

I will be very very excited if an X-Type rear subframe ends up in the Focus. They are such underrated cars. Pain in the butt to work on though.

[@timmcm9538]

The way Sarah blacksmiths those cars together is amazing. She should have an avatar- "Iron Maiden X" or something. I can almost picture it.

[@ibpositivemostly7437]

Cool video thanks. Your random engine knowledge is amazing.😊

[@MJorgy5]

Pull the seats outta the Rover and put them in one of your projects. You could do a junkyard feature twice a year for a less labor intensive production. Thoroughly enjoyable.

[@freshvintage]

Just found your channel! Love the junkyard walk/challenge and excited to hear more about an AWD Focus 😀

[@phatkid6811]

A) PhD level car expertise demo. Kudos B) The junk yard trip was a fun different venue - do more?

[@MrSoulstruck]

Oh desert climate, makes pulling bolts and hardware much easier than here in Canada.

[@SarahnTuned]

You have no idea, lol. Every bolt on my MR2 looks brand new and it’s 32 years old

[@da9pauly]

I love it when you go to the junk yards!!!

[@keonikaig9247]

That waz fun.... Keep well you two...😊

[@joshgroff9218]

I like all your videos! No matter what its about, you make it fun! Thank you both for making my days less crappy. 🤗

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

The Amigo and Rodeo were some of my favs back in the day, so cool

[@Rjhs001]

Love your vids Sarah. Great content, really humorous presentation and your immense knowledge of all things car plus your wonderful sidekick, Angel...what's not to like.

[@chosenone101]

You'd be surprised on what cars and trucks I find on my travels! I love going to the junkyards! My favorite place! Thanks for the tour!

[@1949chefjojo]

I love your Vlog. You are a GENIUS. Keep building the cars of your dreams.

[@dustinrutkowski3127]

I love going to junkyards. I unfortunately moved to a town that doesn't have any. I need to start my own. Thanks for sharing.

[@WrenFJ]

I swear I'm going to travel to America one day, just for the junkyards. And YESSSS all wheel drive for the Focus would be so cool!!!

[@77Mowers]

When I was in High School (many years ago) Isuzu donated an Amigo to our Auto Mechanics program for us to work on. We could never drive it on the street, but it was great for learning brake jobs, etc.

[@gertraba9806]

Epic junkyard stroll luv them do more

[@wild_lee_coyote]

Sarah you could do a whole network TV show where you go around to junk yards looking for diamonds in the rough.

[@SarahnTuned]

I’ll pass on TV, No interest in that. I prefer being my own boss and controlling my growth potential.

[@michaelblacktree]

Network TV producers are pretty sleazy.

[@leoscaremporium2007]

TV is so controlling though...

[@wolfemanxd]

Please save that 1983 Honda Accord, I used to own one and it was one of the funnest cars to drive. Mine was a 1984 Hatch with the manual. The motor is indestructible and the frames are solid and the drive like a go cart around corners.

[@AB-C1]

Fantastic video!! Love the fabrication that Angel did on the front slam panel/support section! Looks mint! Definitely LOVE that's you're probably opting to go 4x4! That's some upgrade and I've always wondered about this on many a vehicle!! So this will be VERY keenly followed! Have a great week! Cheers from London 👍😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Sarah and Angel! Thanks for making it.

[@alancox8466]

I love your junk yard videos! Now, get back to work.

[@RangePisteMies]

Junkyard car spotting is great fun!

[@danrickard1911]

More junkyards!!! Love these vids.

[@patdesrosiers6423]

I love the junkyard crawl videos no matter who does them. Square body truck in the beginning is cool, neat that you like them. I have a 73, build rat rods but I also like some of the same stuff you do. We got my wife a 2014 Subaru Legacy last fall from our friends estate. What a great car and really fun to drive! Cheers from sunny but chilly Denver

[@savethebeaters]

Fun junkyard tour

[@peterstathis6976]

Mercury Capris we’re conceived and built by Ford Australia in the late 1980s on Mazda”s 323 platform for export to the US. Not many remaining. Great car, unloved and quickly forgotten. Keep up the great work Sarah ❤

[@fteoOpty64]

Oh that Accord Hatchback bring back memories. My third car back in 1983!. A manual, at it was a cracker to drive

[@flycorvus]

Take a look on UK junkyards. There're legions of intact Mk1 Focuses.

[@andyhart397]

What a junkyard! Still remember most of those vehicles brandy new🏁

[@Darthreloy]

I would love to see you build a Ford Courier or one of those Mazda trucks you saw in the junk yard. Little tanks. Love em.

[@daffin316]

Love the video Sarah...keep them coming...

[@ronaldwarren5220]

Love that yard. We have a similar one (though smaller) here in Kingman.

[@getlosttoday4045]

Love junkyard hunts!

[@mikehannahs]

Sarah you two are walking among the heavens being there, I love junk yards

[@jeffmofo5013]

Welding shock mount tabs is way easier than welding a bumper. While dropping a tesla rear end into it would be cool. Torque management between the front and rear would be a nightmare.

[@graemelliott3942]

I had a Trooper! Great Truck! Loved the Impulse AWD Turbo, too bad they’re not here anymore!

[@paulschmolke188]

Great ideas for custom fab. Decent junk yard too. It’s all interesting, none of it is boring…to me.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@SarahnTuned]

Yeah, the owners/employees are cool people and keep it clean there with high turnover of cars.

[@paintslinger16]

I used to run the production side of a Pick N Pull yard just like that one, wish we actually had one where I live now

[@paulbenoit9431]

Really fun video! Thanks!

[@Dany-oj2jv]

Lucky for you, here right now we have 3/4 feet of snow and the street are full of salt, so rust are loving it, after 10 yrs or so, cars are like swiss cheese!😅

[@anydaynow01]

Nice change of pace with the junkyard finds video Sarah Krueger.

[@morrislong3358]

When I go to pull n Save i always bring baggies and marker to label what bolts I find so i don’t forget. I too am replacing some rusted bolts 😎 🙏🏼, hope this helps. Thank you for the Great content! 👍🏼

[@rachelbrinkley3240]

Been waiting for ages for you to look to upgrading out the Focus to AWD

[@1980jessicarose]

I quite often re watch back catalogue episodes if Sarah’s especially if I’m doing a similar job on my car it really helps electrics especially. Great content and always ready with the puns no matter how bad and adding in Angel spice cake had been an amazing addition. Sarah’n’tuned new release are the highlight of my week. JX

[@robinlodewyks1900]

I love a junkyard walkthrough

[@michaelblacktree]

Looks like Sarah was struggling to find Focus. 😛

[@jamazonnewyork3221]

you could use longer bolts at the end of the control arms and bolt the shocks at the side of the control arm . It is also possible to drill a hole somewhere and run a bolt thru in a similar way to re mount your coil shock

[@LtSHAKEnBAKE]

I love rally cars so I’m excited for this build. Can’t wait for the next progress vid

[@jompzan]

Just love junkyard videos :D

[@thomaslam6821]

Wow! That’s a LOT of work ahead of you Sarah…😮

[@keeponpainting]

Some impressive rare car knowledge there 👌.

[@Kyle-un1io]

I absolutely miss Isuzu ... they had some odd vehicles. I mean they weren't exactly setting any land speed records with their sport offerings and the VehiCROSS was legit!

[@derekpiehl85]

Definitely miss the Isuzu rodeo. The is a mint one in my town. Kind of jealous. Keep up the great vids

[@StuMunro]

Is that Isuzu the same as a vauxhall fontera in the UK?

[@CatCow97]

I still have a B2000. The Ford/Mazda stuff goes back farther than most people think - everyone knows what happened in the late 80's and later, but it goes back to the 70's. The early B-series and the Ford Courier are basically the same vehicle - the Courier had an option for a Ford 2.3L engine. Also, the parts books are wrong for the radiator on an 84 B2000 - they send you one for an 86 instead(there was no 85), so I had to order a Courier 2.0L(same Mazda MA engine as the B2000) radiator to get the right part.

[@iswinkels]

You might be able to look at mounting the shocks inside the car on a frame bolted between the rear strut towers. Then use a bell crank/pushrod arrangement to attach to the LCA. Ive seen it done on honda's before.

[@caztroll]

Definitely go for the AWD in the focus. Its not going to be easy from what you showed us, but it makes the whole project that more interesting. And the car will be more fun to drive.

[@HP-mx6jb]

I remember in the 90's when the Amigos were dropped on Dayton wire wheels with the systems. East cost style.

[@thomascarl8571]

That Mazda truck is based on the Ford courier

[@FierceMotorworks]

Yes! The adorable mercury capri! Looks like a base model you found. They had a sport edition with a 5-speed manual and factory turbo. I’ll be working on one on my channel soon. Love the videos Sarah, including the junkyard adventures

[@Westie_NZ]

I love those old Audi 100s, especially that L5 motor. My 100 was an earlier, square-shaped one (the 5000 over your way, I think). I LOVED IT! Gotta say that I also love seeing you work through the process on the Focus (I understand your issue with views though).

[@rusure2171]

The junk yard videos are the bomb. If you ever run out of material, then yall could go to the junk yard and comment on the interesting cars.
