Lovely Jubbly, coming along nicely Scottie.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude, yeah it’s def getting there! I’m going to b prepping the panels for paint tonight and hopefully have them sprayed this week (assuming I don’t screw it up lol)

Freight charges are just crazy these days. Car is coming along nicely. Weather is not great here either still freezing at night..thanks for another awesome update on your built. 👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yeah I think the company were charging way more than they got charged tho! But such is life when the world has gone crazy lol

Must be one of the most 'real' rebuild channels out there, honest entertaining and can see what you're doing with your own money, great job on a more unusual car, don't think I've seen many about, and I heard anything above -5 is a heatwave in Scotland anything in the + and its factor 50 t-shirt and socks and sandals. Great job buddy

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! I really appreciate that! Lol, it got above 10 today and yup, I had my shorts on 😂

@@DaveRebuilds if you think that shipping is dear, I've been charged 45 quid for an envelope sized packet to be sent here, Northern Ireland, from newcastle as they said not part of UK, I thought it was gonna be personally hand delivered but came via royal mail with a stamp on it.

Hello Dave,progress on the Subaru BRZ is coming along nicely, putting it together looked technical with the new parts.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! It was a total pain in the ass getting it back together, far easier to remove them when they are all smashed to bits and fall off 😂😂

[@m9cuss]

another video from my favourite car rebuilding channel :) i love the recent choices of car you have had.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! I appreciate that 😃👍🏻

[@Julie-vw5py]

Coming along nicely

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yup, hoping to have it finished in the next couple weeks 🤞🏻

[@scottlancaster9737]

Coming together nicely dude!! Looking good! Nice work!👌 you’ll love the Mishimoto kit, I have the Mishimoto cold air intake on my MK3 RS, Massive improvement and sounds absolutely awesome!! 👍👍💥💥 great seeing ya again.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yeah it’s getting there! Plan is to get it all painted tonight and reassembled this weekend (or so the plan goes lol). That’s cool, glad someone has tried it before, gives me confidence it was a good buy 😃👍🏻

[@johnreid7904]

Glad too have you back again Dave, you are doing a very good job as usual here. I really do enjoy watching your videos then, so just had my car M. O. Td on Tuesday only had to replace 1 track rod end but done the pair off them and that's it for a Year now. So keep up the good work then and hope all the family are doing alright then.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude, I appreciate the kind words 👍🏻. That’s pretty good about ur car, track rods are always best swapping both if 1 fails 😃

[@crapbag9724]

I didn't even know the brz existed (yes I live in a hole) until I saw one on mighty car mods, now I love them.

[@DaveRebuilds]

Lol. Yeah quite an uncommon car but kinda cool in its own right. Just a nightmare to find parts for 😂

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Some repair sites videos give the impression jobs are easy, and parts are readily available. You don't do that, you give an almost true time of stripping down, repair, and sourcing parts. Nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and can cost time and money to the inexperienced.

[@DaveRebuilds]

To be fair, I sometimes make things look easier than it actually was 😂, for example, when we pulled the damage from the bottom support, it was a 3min clip in the video but that was 8hrs of work edited down lol. For sure these builds cost money, need to be very careful when buying that you don’t spend too much for the car or u never get the money back (my GTR is a prime example of that lol)

[@eamonkelly2792]

Hi dude the brz is coming along nicely, that washer bottle looked like a right pain in the back side, it's a wonder you didn't get that part from the US delivered to where you work in the US sometimes and you could have brought it home yourself. It's great to hear that the transporter is getting there hopefully she'll be home soon and you can get the rest of it finished, hope all is well with you and all the family 👍👍

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! Yeah it was a total pain in the ass to fit 😂. I was tempted to do that with the bracket but I’m not back out in the US until June otherwise I would have lol. Yeah should have at least an update for everyone on the VW in the next video (unless it’s home by then🤞🏻) All good over here dude, hope all is well with u and urs too👍🏻

@@DaveRebuilds Family comes first dude :) You ever done a reso delete on a Focus ST? I'm kinda debating it..

[@DaveRebuilds]

@@Sonorg1 yeah but it’s still annoying 😂. I haven’t dude no, my ST came with it already done. Does it add much in the way of BHP or is it just for the sound u want it?

[@Sonorg1]

@@DaveRebuilds Yeah, I get ya haha! It was mainly for the sound tbh howver I'm an old 45year old so don't wanna sound too boy racer ish Just wanted a bit more tone like the RS got from factory

@@Sonorg1 def resonator delete then 👍🏻, can’t imagine it’s that hard to do tho? Give it a Google, I’m sure there will b plenty YT videos on how to do it (that’s what I do if I get stuck lol)

[@andrewmillard5959]

Great vid as usual, for future when shipping in outside uk try a company called world options

[@DaveRebuilds]

Awesome! Will do, thanks dude! The irony is that the part arrived today 😂, they must have heard me moaning about it lol

[@petercross8871]

Hi Dave, this is looking nice, are you turning the key and looking for any lights on the dash before fitting any Aftermarket. Also doing a fault codes, after any significant reinstall of electrics, it just cuts down on where you have to look if any error codes come up. . . keep it up. .

[@DaveRebuilds]

Hi, yeah it’s getting there slowly but surely! No lights on the dash as I haven’t fitted anything with new electronics yet. Like the idea of checking for fault codes tho so will give that a look at the weekend 👍🏻

[@steverotherham5672]

Looks better now 👍👍

[@DaveRebuilds]

Yes sir! Hopefully have it painted and back together before the next video (he says very optimistically lol)

Good video. Making great progress👍👌Will that air intake give it a nicer sound too?

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude! Yeah in theory it should sound better than stock with it. Will find out in the next video hopefully 😃👍🏻

[@Stewbacca3]

Dave, I had no idea you can recharge your a/c yourself. I assume the kit is compatible with most cars? This build is looking great - I never miss one of your vids 👍

[@DaveRebuilds]

Thanks dude I really appreciate that 👍🏻. Yeah I always assumed there was some special tool that only garages had, but picked mine up and the gas from Halfords lol. There is apparently 2 types of gas (with different gauges depending on what type of gas ur car uses. The BRZ had it marked on a sticker under the bonnet 👍🏻 super easy to do and garages are a rip off chargin what they do 😂

[@Stewbacca3]

Another good vid Dave …..👍👊🏼…..was you brave enough to fix the power steering pump yourself on the other car 🚙? 👍👊🏼

Thanks dude! It ain’t the pump that’s failed by the looks of it, possible new steering rack time 😳

Yeah, it’s now running, just trying to figure out why there are so many faults showing on the dash now 😂

[@RAPIDNISMO]

Yeah I know, worst part is that the steering pump looks ok, so it may be the rack that’s failed 😫
