It has been 9 months since our trip to Japan, where we went to the auctions and found an immaculate S15 Silvia for Moog... in this special episode we can finally reveal what happened to Marty's import, and what he bought to replace it...

[@valkman761]

This is one of the most inspiring videos of MCM! I've watched this one several times together with the "how to reshell your car" and I can't stress enough how these videos really tell what MCM is all about. Makes me miss my days when messing around with my first car in dad's garage. Also, clever use of music and voice-over makes things interesting. You should use more of this early background tune :)

[@Crodon]

"Dude, there's a dude in your car!" As Australian as it gets.

[@ChirsSmedely]

Seeing where you guys are now really shows the effort that's gone into the channel over the years. You guys went from some regular car guys documenting their driveway mechanic adventures to professional level work and facilities and it's awesome to see the progress over the years. I forgot how great the early videos were before you had the facilities to do everything comfortably, well done guys

[@yoyoman9747]

I feel so sorry for Marty. The guy saves up his hard earned money to buy a nice car, and then this happens. Poor guy, that car was perfect for him. Anyway he's gotten over that now and his new car are both awesome.

[@traymuse3810]

that dude is out now. Heads up boys.

[@Catbackfatcat]

The greatest video ever made by MCM imo. It just shows how far they've come, truly beautiful.

[@jackwilliamson54]

I think that Marty did a great job in the liberty. his build is totally inspiring and it looks good and sounds mean. great job Marty. you deserve a lot of congratulations

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]
