I’ve said it before and will say it again… the fact that you DON’T do what other car channels do is exactly why your content is fresh, interesting, very educational, and entertaining. Please never beat yourself up over not completing a start to finish project measured in hours. Loving this Celica. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@davidwarren9204]

100% agree with this poster. Just keep doing what you're doing. You've hit the perfect balance between being naturally interesting yourself, and providing truly informative and engaging content. You don't gloss over the problems, or the tiny details, invovled in doing such a thorough restoration. The LAST thing the world needs is another reality teevee generic car show about Unobtanuim, burnouts, Bondo or crate motors :)

[@TimmyMoza]

Bingo. Spot on!

[@garyworokevich2524]

Well said.

[@Primus54]

@@creamwobbly Great summation! 👍👍👍

[@squelchstuff]

Absolutely! Despite my love of cars, there's only two car related channels I watch. Sarah, and Bad Obsession Motorsport. Both immesnsly instructional, not afraid of the little details, and above all, entertaining. Frankly I wouldn't care if the Celica took as long as Binky. Every episode is a treat.

[@robcreel4257]

I'd like to take the time to thank you for creating such consistent content. Don't apologize for taking real time on these projects. Your attention to detail speaks volumes.

Pin this to the top!

[@Koolbob2]

Details matter! I've seen SO many 'professional' restorations with crappy trim, sketchy wiring and overspray visible in door jambs and under the trunk and hood. It's so satisfying to watch your work.

[@barence321]

I love the parts where the stuff in Sarah's brain just...spills out into the world. So funny!! Also, I'm impressed with her passion for this project. Can't wait to sit it finished.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Getting a sewing machine is a whole new fun rabbit hole to go down. :D

[@hilkolieberwerth3495]

I simply love your eye for detail. Keep these videos coming!

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

Sarah, you are the one rebuild/restoration channel I trust. Most of the other ones make it look like they've waved a magic wand over a rusted turd and - VIOL-LAH! - they instantly have a best-in-show custom resto-mod with a custom interior, hot-rodded engine, and fifty coats buffed and polished 'House of Kolor' paint job. With an unseen crew, it all looks like there's nothing to it. But you show it like it is: do-overs, screw-ups and all, but I would drive a car you built.

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

Love anything you do, BECAUSE you don't cut corners. I love all your 90*'s

[@jimgerock9190]

Making the frameless window gaps and their operation is a time consuming project. You did an excellent job.

[@bliers]

Love it when a new "Sarah" pops up! Great project, real fab, real resto.

[@richharper8159]

This car build has been a joy to watch. Do I really care about a Toyota Celica? No. Do I enjoy watching passionate, creative, talented and entertaining people? Yes.

[@Azspeedin]

You’re funny, you’re smart and you’re awesome with cars. Girl don’t you ever cut yourself short

[@markallen8679]

No need to feel the need to say you are sorry, I appreciate the thorough video guide! Your whacky humor is delightful, change nothing!

[@wild_lee_coyote]

Not many KZbinrs will work through the Holidays, especially on tedious content that is not a Vroom Vroom and smoking tires. Keep up the good work so we can get to that point.

[@wilbready]

Absolutely hilarious and entertaining video! The Dave Coullier quote only works if you do the hand gestures associated with it. As for the windows, door cards (amazing that you want to take that on!) and the carpet; your attention to detail is remarkable. Keep being you, that’s why so many people are watching! ~WilPaul

[@masterofcents.8175]

I believe I am one of many thousands who enjoy you as a human and what you are doing for content for you to do basically anything you want and we will still watch.

[@marcusott2973]

M539 proves that a lot of people (million plus) will watch car repairing/restoring over an hour every two weeks... I'd watch much longer versions of Sarah doing her cars.

[@brendanwhite9799]

Just have to love ❤️ her attention to detail and her sense of humour that Is what makes Sarah the cut above the rest

[@bjshifflett5408]

@@marcusott2973 Sarah should try posting a longer version of something like this to see what happens. Her thought process , love for the project and quirkiness is so endearing to other petrolheads that grew up with a Jeremy Clarkeson oddball affection for cars. You are the algorithm E85 turbo restoration Sarah this is 1974 vintage wonderfulness and we can't get enough of it.

[@brendanwhite9799]

Would love to see that

[@azaleapiper]

The attention to detail is much appreciated. All of those little things done in a hurry detract from the whole project. In the long run I think your approach is the best. Thanks for the effort and showing some of us how far some patience and elbow grease can go!!

[@FuManchu5ltr]

When glueing down larger sheets of fabric or similar, lay it out on the surface first. Line it up. Get it sitting right. On shaped surfaces, rub it in. Stretch it. Get it seated into the shape. Lay a sheet of plastic over one half. Then fold one side over onto itself carefully, giving you the plastic between to protect from over spray. Then apply the adhesive in small strips at a time to both surfaces. With your hand behind the fabric, work it down onto the surface. Pull up short of the last bits of adhesive. Spray and repeat. Then do the same for the other side. This way you’ll never have creases, you’ll never fudge the whole job. It will be perfect everytime. Far less stress. Keep checking your hand hasn’t got glue/adhesive on it to avoid rubbing it into the fabric or vinyl.

[@SarahnTuned]

Nice 👍🏻 love this

[@mostcom]

I learned this after botching the first vinyl floor job.

[@brian5o]

I know at least one MC that appreciated your ‘Hammer Time’.

[@HMarcBower]

That was great - I know it must be frustrating to you how slow and unfilmable much of that work was, but it did give us a video chock full of Sarah banter and humour, so really enjoyed it. :). It's great you were able to get those dented trim pieces looking mint!

[@anthonysharpe5104]

Loved this video. Your skills along with your quirky sense of humour with occasional adult undertones and your self deprecating commentary is totally engaging. Keep up the great work. The fact that you’re also gorgeous is the icing on the cake.

[@MichaelSmith-kr9qw]

I absolutely enjoy watching your builds they're filled with lots of useful information and the innuendos are always on fire ! Happy New Year Sarah ! Thanks for a years worth of laughs and giggles, I great appreciate everything you do and Thanks for keeping it real !!!

Thats why i watch you Sarah, you do quality work, don't rush this job you do a great job and I've learned so much/

[@macman6107]

I do not watch any of those time lapse videos of builds, of anything. I love seeing the almost real time builds. Plus your humour is grade A. But, I'm here for the car ultimately. I had one 30+ years ago. And the attention to detail you are doing on this build is great to see. Restoration. Brilliant. Oh, and wookie pubes.I never, ever thought I would hear that one.😂

[@trespire]

Massive respect to you sister for keeping things as original as possible. I don't know anything about Celica, but I do recognize craftsmanship when I see it. Owner of a Citroën CX25GTI & a rare CX2000 Club.

I will take the marathon approach over the sprint way any day. Your being brilliant at the basics is what I love about you. No apologies needed, attention to detail is the what defines your work.

[@RRr-yl8zr]

I think you're right, it can be satisfying getting the rubber into the trim instead of a piece of foam. 🙂

We watch you because you don't cut corners. Unless there are actual corners to be cut, of course, your scissor work is great! Keep up the excellent work, and we'll keep watching.

[@linuxknight]

Keep doing what you are doing. Not cutting corners, doing a quality job instead of a rush job just to git er done quicker, that is exactly why we stay and watch your videos.

[@glennstankevicius9895]

A tip for the next time you are fitting carpet, put the bolts (or a short piece of all thread) in the floor holes, lay the carpet and then go around with a hammer or mallet and give them a few taps to mark the back of the carpet. Then you can remove the carpet and cut the holes out. Also, you'll need a walking foot industrial style sewing machine to get through thick material like carpet, plus domestic machines don't have the large stitch lengths.

[@armandovasquez6708]

Your videos are close to my heart because my very first car in the early 90's was an 82 Celica. I'm new to your channel so missed watching all the videos to your Celica build. It would be awesome if you strung all your videos on these Celica's together as a full build as i would absolutely watch a 3+ hour video on any of your builds. Love your work! ❤

[@ryanfarace3685]

I appreciate seeing this kind of stuff and you make the videos entertaining enough to fill any voids in the lack of exciting work. Great job on both fronts, keep it up!

Very nice project this japanese muscle car made by you is perfect for you

[@shaggman13]

Nice work as usual Sarah! I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but you can use a punch and heat it up to put the holes for the belts and seats in the carpet its keeps is from fraying and its super easy. I learned it from Vice Grip Garage lol and it does work I've tried it 😁

[@vwfanatic2390]

I for one, of most likely a lot of your viewers, like this part the best. Maybe because I have rebuilt a car myself from start to finish and yeah, this is the most time consuming part, but this is the part where you will be the only one who know each and every “flaw”, because you have the intimate knowledge of every part of the car. You did an excellent job of showing the details and extremes you went to, to make it perfect, without making it boring. There are other “car build” channels, but none of them compare to the quality of your’s, and that still be the case even if you were not the hottest car chick in the world, with mad skills, too. We adore you Sarah, and what you do. Happy New Year.
