[@tylerjohnson4420]

Mike I have to thank you, I used to be in love with cars but over time I fell out of love due to having to get a “real job”. I saw your video on the Honda and what you said about doing what you love, I quit my job the day after I saw that video and now I’ve been taken on as a mechanical technician apprentice, thanks for making me realise I can do what I love !

[@Owensti]

Dude that’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to do the same thing. I work in the trade but I have a love on working on cars. Makes me want to consider being a mechanical technician. Not only is that a great way to make money but also makes things way cheaper when you want to carry on a huge projects. Hope your route goes good man!

[@tylerjohnson4420]

@@Owensti yeah I was working in retail, hated every minute but I needed the money. As soon as I turned 18 adult life kicked in and I had to give up on everything, I had to leave college, get a full time job. I was miserable for years, but on Wednesday they rang me for an interview, and Friday I got the offer! I fully recommend just going for it, I never thought I’d be this happy and and now I am, good luck on wherever life takes you buddy :)

[@frias2287]

Nice job l have eg6 turbo swap h2ba7

[@PrizzaMike]

Dude that's amazing! Hell ya! So hyped for you 🔥

[@listing2049]

I quit * ucking your moms a $ $hole the day after I saw her fartt videos. Recently I decided to do her in the but and now I’m back into her. I can definitely relate to what you’re saying! Thanks Tyler!

[@gateaccess818]

@5:50, i was in same boat, i bought my first rear left quarter panel. was so stoked, got it home, started stripping it down and saw some body filler popping through rear quarter in the trunk pocket area. so panel was rusted and filled with filler then sanded smooth, no patch metal, just glob of body filler spewing through rusted hole and called a day haha. needless to say, i had to source another quarter panel.

[@aspen9102]

Hey, Im not a restorer or anything, but exists something called strip disk, its a rubberlike disk that you can use to remove paint/bondo from the surface, its waay faster than sanding normally or using a wire wheel. That thing was a life saver when I was restoring my car.

[@tortron]

Yup I have stripped paint off several cars, the job always sucks, but the best way is the strip discs (getting someone else to do it is the cleanest option lol, but can't trust anyone to not ruin the job)

[@haydencook3245]

As a collision repair tech, these strip discs are useful. Personally I start cutting the seamsealer with an air hammer with chisel bit then finish it off with a strip disc. Then I grind the wild with a belt grinder and put the new panel on.

[@Snicketbar]

Not sure you'll ever read this. But the best advice I can give on anything regarding buying old car parts. Is to check, double check, and triple check. Do a little research on it and don't be afraid to inspect the piece thoroughly before picking it up. If the offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. And if someone gets a little weirded out by you asking questions about it. It usually means they're not telling the whole story.

[@fatmamlast619]

Ooo the sneak peak of the 300zx at the end cant wait to see some content on it. Keep up the great work prizza i absolutely loooove your videos.

[@KevinCraftCreeper]

It’s been a year you haven’t gotten a single like Let me be your first one

[@Ben_dillon]

My dad used to be a professional welder and fabricator, and did bodywork quite abit. normally he mocks cad KZbinrs when he sees me watching them and points out ur mistake, he saw me watching one of the videos of you welding the body together. and he just nodded and goes “the kid knows a lot more then he makes out” and walked off, u officially have the respect of my dad 😂🤣

[@dtc2044]

rough deal on the quarter. Just use the replacement. If anyone is going to recreate it, they will make a mould and recreate it out of carbon. Bet you could do it 🤟with the way the industry is going, just happy to see some of these old car being worked on and the work you have done deserves the fresh quarter.

[@itsjustyas7724]

you single handedly got me into cars. although i know little to nothing, im hooked. been keeping up with the series tho, best of luck

[@aethan9786]

Man Im addicted to your videos, keep the good vibes and progressing. Cant wait to see that 240sx fully drifting again

[@TylerM902]

Just started watching your channel a few weeks ago, absolutely love your channel. Especially the 240 rebuild videos, I cannot believe how far it’s came. You literally rebuilt that car from the ground up, insane!!!

[@1mayersz561]

Mike is always pushing forward. You really gotta love it.

[@Zed32_Customs]

6:43 Gettin Aging Wheels vibes from these edits! I'm excited to see the 300zx build soon!

[@david929190]

It's possible that quarter panel could be saved. Check out Carter's Auto Restyling. He shows a lot of hammer and dolly work bringing ruined panels back to shape.

[@sandercornel]

I cant wait for the final “rebuilding my 240sx in x minutes” and rewatch all the months of video’s in one

[@Tom-jb7nh]

Bummer about the quarter panel looking forward to the 300zx ( also love the skating clips )

[@evangiek6112]

Love to see mike shred after a good day of work on the 240!

[@nyleen]

That plastic clip is for the tool pocket panels on either side of the boot interior. They're like flaps that require that clip to stay closed. I've had mine fall all the way down the tub too. 🥲

[@skyraptor699]

looking good man, got me inspired to start making some videos of my integra build, been at the hospital with my daughter for a month but we get to go home next week and start :D Watched alot of your videos here haha just popped up into my feed one day I think the first one that got me hooked was your integra history video.

[@timothybrooke1612]

Mike for such a young guy u show a great deal of knowledge. Love ur laid back attitude to life. Keep the great content coming bro. Tass.from Australia 🇦🇺

[@senpaio.o7149]

always blowing my mind with your knowledge and creativity. keep it up my guy. much love

[@dubiousf00d]

Bruh! That differential bustin beast of a bimmer is sick. that ziptie claim needed the video proof. That was wild

[@AndyKPOV]

Thanks Mike! Always a joy to watch. I grew a car kid and at the drag strip. I went to technical school and all. But I find myself not working on cars as much since I'm a general contractor now. I've been have personal issues with depression and watching you do what you need to get the 240 going helps me so much. I recently have been out of work so I try to find time to tinker with my truck or gf car. I don't own a race car anymore but I try. And you keep me up and going. Thanks Mike.

[@ivycycles]

The twists and turns on the way to your dream. Hoping somebody has something for you. Maybe you should give few bone yards a jingle in the southwest. I had to do that when I needed suspension parts for my 87 Toyota pick-up back in 2004. Hoping Fran is on the mend 🙂

[@CLUTCHITZZ]

The skate boarding at the end caught me off guard lol, that’s awesome bro.

[@Honda_Man_Sam]

Your channel is really taking off bro. I’m so happy for you. I can’t wait to see the the 240 back on track

[@1caru5]

Amazing video mate, Definitely helps to inspire others to get back to their project cars and do something you love. I’m currently doing a rear 1/4 on my Silvia, which I’ve neglected a bit due to work. But seeing this has brought the spark back. Thank you!

[@PrizzaMike]

Hell ya! You got this man 🔥

[@chrisshaw1960]

Props to you my guy. You've done something most would run from. Look foward to seeing it finished 💪

[@jasonpetrich4141]

1 step back, 3 steps forward it's all good that body line is easy to over look when your just ready to be finished. And the hunt continues

[@GHXST3D_R3J3CT]

It’s seriously so crazy to me I’ve been watching your vids for over a year, after discovering one of your TikToks

[@VENT8699]

Man I was hoping homie would slide he beamer! Beamer guy myself! Love to see another person sliding a stock four door E46!!

[@cloutdrilla8786]

Silvias are treasured and are all mint in my country

[@steveo9730]

Yep, should have used the one you first had. The one you've got might be usable, especially if you're taking the skin off, would give you a chance to hammer it into good shape without the bog while it's apart. Love your dedication and content. I'm a panelbeater from New Zealand, that 240 stuff is so hard to find here! Keep up the good work!

[@Drift-Tastik]

I've done this in the past too many times. It is hard to Miss at first glance. I didn't even notice that line was taken out

[@Papajin68]

On the hoodie strings... just pull them out as far as you can and then snip them off... they'll recess back inside and you'll never see 'em again. On the black plastic piece you found... that's actually a latch for these little access panels that were on the interior trim in the hatch. The jack kit was behind one of the panels if I remember correctly.

[@eprohoda]

Prizzamike-great ~ see you soon~

[@buckleyjayce]

LOL your mic quality is insane this is like bodywork ASMR

[@oxXEdwardsXxo]

Love following your build. Owning a 180sx of my own that I've slowly been making my own and fixing some of the stupid things on it. Sometimes I get down thinking I should have just bought a different one but then watching you reminds me to just keep at it and attempt a bit more myself. Keep it up.

[@talmizrana9401]

bro plz drop the 300zx video

[@rabbitwidow1252]

hi mate I am glad you have a new video out to day for us to watch , sorry about the bad quarter panel, I have good news though I received a top fan badge on your Facebook page 🥇🚗💥💨👨‍🔧

[@PrizzaMike]

🥇🔥

[@ram3nandpanduh]

Chillin in front of Indian boundaries so dope!

[@johnboyd1824]

Get so hyped when I see a post

[@corndogko1661]

Not only did I just unroll my front fenders but I also go very familiar with that body line.

[@psementalist]

I so enjoy watching all of your KZbin videos especially the ones that has to do with the 240 . The rear quarter panels do look a lot like the ones on my 2nd Gen 96 Ford Probe but there is a little bit of difference between the two

[@chilledcadaver9205]

smooth 300zx at the end. my dream car.

[@madmatt2024]

If the lower part of the quarter is rust free then you could just get a rusted out one like you already had and use this one to repair it. Worse come to worse, 2F performance does make fiberglass replacement rear quarters (not over fenders) for the S13 but they are expensive and the wheel arch has a 55MM flare so you would need to do both sides for it to look right.

[@xOElement]

Sorry to hear man hope u find a quarter panel soon

[@Thejrod_]

Damn can’t believe you’re almost at 100k subs keep grinding Mike

[@PrizzaMike]

Thanks man! Slowly but surely 🙏🔥

[@YT_Gopnik_Mario]

240SX is comming close to being rebuilt keep up Mike

[@illestJun]

Hey mike, really enjoy these videos. Always progressing

[@AndyKPOV]

On the safety tip about wire wheels. With grinders that have a guard don't take it off. I have a 2 inch scar under my left nipple from one blowing up while upside down under a car.

[@bailzeyu]

i’ve been waiting for u to upload dude let’s goooo love the videos

[@RayquazaKing04]

Looking at it, it would be a fun project for me to try and restore, it looks repairable judging from the video. If your down I could repair it best I can.

[@PrizzaMike]

That could be pretty neat! But with the damage combined with the crunch within the door jam, I think I should just find another one and donate or return this one

[@Futurensen]

Νοοοο that sucked!! I hope you find a good 1/4 soon buddy! Keep up the good work! 👏🏻

[@aurora6758]

I lay here feeling like death, and see a video uploaded, although I feel like shit, it’s time to kick back and enjoy this master piece 😁

[@CarlosJose-yw4mj]

You could try to strip the filler out of the quarter panel and see if it's repairable, you are gonna need to take it out the inner structure anyway

[@elliottwoods5636]

bummer about the panel, love to see the skate clips though. i still owe you a back lip don't let me forget!

[@WrenFJ]

Aw that sucks about the quarter panel :(( I hope you can find a better one soon

[@Bearzyytv]

I used to use those to open the hood for my 99 acura el lol 😆 I also ran into a snow bank with the car and duct tapped my blinker back in and later super glued it back into the Mount bc the mount cracked. 😅

[@adamthomas4638]

Its crazy the persistence you have on this project I guarantee you could have found a shell to swap out or if you just decided to go with some of the pieces you already had.but I get it you want to give it life again and do it super careful hopefully you can find what you need again

[@southvibess]

well Mike you do something and you learn your lessons. hope next time you'll get a better quarterpanel!!

[@06RHDSUBIEWAGON]

mike we all make mistakes like that ive done it before when not thinking clearly. honestly its rust free and body damage can be fixed, finding mint rust free parts is not easy but it is your car so for me when building my RHD 2006 sti wagon i didnt want ANY none mint parts sooo i feel you

[@Huntressofall]

don't give up brother there's many 240sx quater panel in hiding

[@mitchsterling3266]

Makes me miss my e46. Tell that guy to take better care of his. Those cars are rare.

[@tunizieca9373]

If i was you I would scrape all the paint and bondo and just work with all i have. It has a crease which any pdr or good body shop can fix. It is great quarter panel if we skip the bondo part :D

[@mitchsterling3266]

Yeah I wouldnt use that fender at all. Good thing you caught that.

[@gazzer883]

I really look forward to your videos they are so entertaining and interesting . Give us more lol.

[@KevinLopez-ft9ns]

Idk if anyone has said it to you yet but in the integras gas door there’s a hook that the gas cap slides onto so you don’t lose it 😅 noticed in your videos that you place it on the trunk instead of the hook lol

[@PrizzaMike]

Honestly I don't like using the little holder thing because it always has debris on it and I don't want sand and dirt getting on the gas cap threads and eventually into the fuel system

[@KevinLopez-ft9ns]

Figured you’d know but on the off chance lol and completely understandable

[@dan44zzt231]

Try stripping the quarter of all the bondo and then heating it from the rear to pop the dent out. You might be surprised. Has worked a couple of times for me.

[@elijahyoung2665]

prizza deserves 100k subs

[@renewedgarage4634]

Sideways fab in Colorado sells quarter panels, they have an eBay store.

[@brandoncarney5295]

I love your videos man! I really want to build my own car one day like you!!

[@bradypenton1753]

ugh man,That sucks hopefully you can get you're self another one thats hopefully better.

[@PrizzaMike]

Still on the hunt! Hopefully I can find one soon, was hoping to have the quarter done by now haha

[@Mortimusmoose]

Yeah........we get PLENTY of rust in TN! I've seen and bought part outs that were done because of rust. I bought a 97 3000GT VR4 after it was parted out because of rust for $100, with clean title! There were 4 holes in the chassis...not too big either. Easy fix.

[@dashxts]

This is dope to learn im about to take out my core support lol to replace nothing compared to this level but still good knowledge lmao can’t wait to see this project finished 😵‍💫

[@emanh4keem_san420]

Nowadays a company made some panels that mostly rusts on schassis and rchassis and its out rn. Need a company that remake the big panels that mostly damaged/rusted for sure

[@mitchsterling3266]

Half way through your youtube video and I feel like I have to pee but It's a inconvience so I'm going to have to keep watching. I hate when that happens.

[@andrewg2322]

Id be going back to the kid for selling a bondo filled “rust free” quarter panel. Should have put a magnet on it BEFORE buying. That kid make out good on your dime. Hope you can find another soon 🙏🏻

[@PookieBuilt]

There is a 240 for sale by me. Has a little rocker rust but other than that looks super clean. I’m in Iowa I can send your the details if you want

[@sassesinet]

You could sand down that quarterpanel. It looks pretty decent and I would definitely be happy with that if I would've had it. From Sweden tho so even parts like that are pretty hard to stumble upon.

[@HunterWerner-kx9hb]

wow

[@jimmaey]

Mike i love your persistence but for the love of God , just use that brand new panel you have laying around. Way less hassle and who is going to make a mold for that thing? They can make a mold of the one you have now. Make it quick and painless and use the new panel.

[@AusPokeJack]

Just as an fyi you don’t have to go to bare metal to apply body filler. As long as the body paint is prepared correctly you can apply body filler right over it.

[@derekhobbs1102]

Surely with the skills you've acquired since the start, you could panel beat that quarter into shape.

[@Bonked_YT]

At least you have good corners! You could use the corners to fix a quarter panel with rust in the usual spots lol

[@giftfromearth2x870]

Oklahoma has some beat up 240 on fb and some in yards

[@TannerSmith23]

Always a banger liked before loaded

[@bryanbrunk1186]

Clean up the quarter panel and see how bad it really is. At least you have the inner fender well now.

[@eliminator_ryan]

I think with the amount of work you have done this far stripping that 1/4 to bare metal to asses it. If it can be straightened out it will be a new learning experience for you as well.

[@bobbyeason2234]

You still might be able to save that quarter panel you maybe able to cut the skin to the quarter off and bodywork it back to shape then weld it up on the car especially with it being rust free

[@felixgproducer]

Ngl If I was the one doing it I would use that quarter panel (+ redo te line of course) because its not that bad but I never went to the extent of what you did with this car so finding a perfect one is a better option in this situation.

[@TWCAAO]

Actually.....its time, time to use that new oem panel and use some self-love and treat yourself, you earned it bud!

[@mattpirri2180]

Would you sell the bottom pice of the white quarter panel that you cut off at 7:40 I could use it to fix my 89 s13

[@garagemonkey526]

seen a few of your videos and wanted to know if rust could form in the welds of your frame? also it wouldn't have as much tensile strength with welding something that should be solid. maybe counteract that with reenforced frame rails?

[@jdmking4776]

When does my 240 get quarter panels! 🥺

[@drayhildreth692]

Can use the inner structure

[@GotMilkRS13]

But you could use the window or not?

[@mathewh4628]

idk if anyone has mentioned it and im sure if its not ideal for your location but why not just do a ute 240? i like em and im sure some dont but that seems like an easier route. maybe i dont know much about the actual process but i do love the look of it. keep doing what youre doing man, i love your videos.

[@NoahZ32]

hyped for z32 content 😎

[@frostys_garage]

one plus is you got a spear rear glass
