I think walnut shell powder or something like that

brilliant indeed. I have some heavy vintage computer cases with rust and acid damage and THIS is the way forward.

I really appreciate how you took what many channels would make a 12-part series, with each part being the same length as this one video, and still managed to show us your full process without any annoying unnecessary commentary or editing. Stellar work and beautiful restoration.

[@smashyrashy]

Thats what i love hes straight to it and no bs

Most important comment here, channels that do the reverse with many ads/sponsorships just shouldn't be watched

True

[@lefyt26]

@@gilgamarsh Restoring a car doesn't take one day. I love to see the whole proces and everything behind it. I actually like when it's in parts. You miss a lot of the good stuff. Because you saw one channel do their restoration in parts, with a lot of adds and pointless talking doesn't mean they are all bad.

[@alexsmith6914]

Great to see you restoring these JDM classics and putting them back on the road. Ireland is full of JDM classics hidden in sheds and fields

Its an awful shame but yes great to see him doing them

[@loganwegner6943]

Same with old muscle in America

[@revivify5967]

I wouldn't say Ireland is full of JDM cars sitting idle. Finding an Evo Lancer lying around in a field is extremely rare. It's becoming a case of who you know, as anyone with these sorts of cars will be demanding top money if they advertise them, no matter the condition. Even finding a Civic that's been lying up is near on impossible these days. Fella's know what they have.

[@gopnikolai7483]

How the hell does he find them? is it possible to find them online, maybe import them here to England or do you have to know a guy who knows a guy etc.?

Damn I remember the evos 7 and 8s old skool classics

[@jackbauer2698]

Two things, be sure to cover the 2 extra holes for the evo 8 tail wing since it's a different spread. And get yourself some uv protective foil to put over the headlights since you sanded off the original coat during restoration. Otherwise they'll get yellow and cloudy quite quickly.

[@cyberlobster]

I can't praise this video enough. What I appreciate the most of all your builds is how you're able to restore even the smallest components, and don't rush off to just buy replacement OEM parts and swap them in and call it a restoration. From the small body fixes, cleaning up the calipers all the way to defogging the lights, there is no detail too small to be given some attention to, and this is another fine edition to your collection of restoration vids.

[@kanggoo57]
