[@androiduberalles]

It feels like it would've been dramatically more economical to buy one in good shape at this point lol.

Marc's S2k makes me so happy. I feel like I always see so many show quality S2ks on the internet that I forget that there are stock dailys out there with a little paint fade and honest wear

[@Hecate24]

same sentiments

[@caleb875]

My 350z is very similar to Marc's S2000 - near stock with a little paint fade on the hatch

[@R34whaaa]

[@gotomars]

When I see a new G&G video I always check the chapters names before watching the video. I think this is one of my favourite things bout this channel, just the joking and camera work keep me here from day one

[@GearsandGasoline]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@KirkyBoy]

Really glad that Marc is part of the team. 😊

[@AJd1996]

Body work is such an unappreciated art form

[@Jmalicdin]

Man I love these build series. Can’t wait to see the finish on the paint job. I love S2Ks

[@omg_stoppit]

I'm just here to give Mark some love. That guy has been busting ass, and seeing him sand down those rivets demonstrates patience. Mark, I recognize you, bro. Edit: Only use Honda Blue filters for the S2000. They have more holes which help more oil pass through while under load, and were specifically engineered for the S. Seriously, don't use OTS filters.

[@yongling9825]

Isn't Ben's S2K running a K20 instead of an F20?

[@xxslayer255xx]

@@yongling9825 yes

[@yeahitskimmel]

Just a tip to those at home, wear a mask whenever you grind metal cuz even if you can't see it you're in a cloud of metal powder. I once worked a 2 stroke cylinder jug as a teen and learned my lesson when I was coughing up grey

[@trahar6257]

The newer the car worse it is. The new high strength steels have all sorts of toxic metals in them.

[@AirmanJack]

That and hearing protection... WHAT?!

[@louKushh]

said the same. these guys don't care about their long term health! 😷😷😷

[@PANTYEATR1]

A good spot weld cutter and panel splitting tools might have made this job faster and easier. Klicos help with panel alignment. I think you guys could have done the quarters under the auspices of a experienced body man. Good job💪🏆

[@dancarlos1216]

Bingo, they even sell spot weld cutting bits at Advanced.

[@himynameistim009]

Weld buster chisel and spot weld bits would def be easier than the belt sander in some spots but still they did a really good job

[@JorgeMartinez-iq2tc]

Seeing this S2k being save it's freaking awesome 🔥🔥 from going ball's too the wall at the track with Jackie and now getting restored for retirement as a street car NICE can't wait too see how good it's gonna be🤙

That ending was touching. Just two guys wanting the best for each other and dreaming of rolling down the road with two cool cars 😎

This series really makes me miss my ap1. fantastic cars.

[@victorbruun]

honestly, the rat-rod-ish look of it with no fron fenders is appealing in a strange way. Incredibly nice work from all of you though, it looks super clean.

WE NEED MORE S10K CONTENT

[@OhNoProjectZero]

Finally! I've been waiting for another S10k video. This beauty is coming along great!

[@TheseEyesSeeNothing]

Hey Ben, not sure if this is something that's been said, but the oil filter you swapped is not the correct size for the engine. The f20/22 and the nsx are the only two that use a different higher flow filter. The standard size does not have the correct flow through for these motors. You're looking for the 15400-PCX-306 pn

[@Love2Cruise]

Ben did a K swap. So the plebe filters will work. 😂

[@David25512]

Great finish for the fitment, goofy timestamps, and genuinely awesome S2K+ work. Way to go guys! You a real one too Steve!

[@johnnoob]

awesome to see this project come along, superb work as always from the whole extended team!

[@DaeveMc]

The quality of you video always want me to watch another one but I've already watched them all. Continue the great work guys I love your channel.

[@donaldmokgale3123]

Still one of the highest quality channels in the world like i never get bored of watching your content guys, shout out from south africa 🇿🇦

[@Zack-hb5kg]

Didn't even realize it was Saturday and woke up to a blessing. A G&G video

[@Luqrativ]

This is awesome, I've owned two s2k's over the years. An ap1 and now currently a turbo 06 ap2. I used to watch jackies channel all the time when he raced this thing. It is so cool seeing this thing get brought back to life!

[@user-uc8md8el9k]

Love all your videos. It’s awesome that you are turning this back into a daily. I have my dad’s 02 s2k that he drove as a daily and I love it. It is so much fun. Keep up the great content.

[@MrLSX]

Been following the channel for years now and love how it's evolved. But I'll tell you what stands out a lot recently. Mark seems like a very respectful, honest, and knowledgable mechanic. Def keep him around!

[@jdmj0]

I'm absolutely loving this pseudo restoration! Also having Mark's s2k really is a good contrast for progress. Can't wait for the next vid!

[@ashtonmaass6055]

When belt sanding try to evenly grind the spot welds by moving the belt up and down trying to make a “rectangle” and as soon as you see the top layer cracking around the spotweld use a chisel and hammer to pop the spotweld off and grind the leftover spotweld flush with the base metal

[@dln.sweeney]

Wow, what a difference already. Can't wait to see it all one colour. Also I get the vibe Mark enjoys working on the S2k.

[@skabone]

This is my current favorite project, looking forward to more 🤘😎🤘

[@GoProCuz98]

Great build! Would love to see a mini road trip with the two s2000’s !

[@tonycrispin]

With so many awesome widebody options for the S2k it really surprised me to see you go BACK to stock body...good work either way

[@yongling9825]

Sometimes, stock body width is best. If I have a performance car, I wouldn't want to do any irreversible mods.

[@timeswap4675]

I can’t wait to see how it will come together. I hope I can own one my self soon

I loved the early 20th century soundtrack. Like watching that same old story, of hammers and heat, to adjust the bodywork. 😊

Love this build. Ever think of an oil filter relocation to get the filter up and in an easier point to access? The location isn’t bad but on my rx8, it’s wedged between the motor and firewall and it’s a terrible spot to get to

[@christianwood3072]

I really like the series on this car

[@israelg14]

There’s a program called ALLDATA. Literally gives you all the information on repairing vehicles to OEM spec (ie where spot welds are located) . We use it in the body shop world a lot to ensure safety when replacing large panels like this for structural integrity. Maybe it can help with other builds in the future.

[@AlexReyes]

Love it!

[@RCXDerp]

get mark a fresh intake filter for that hoonda he deserve it

[@bricebertelsman7783]

Blair spot weld cutter is bar far my favorite way to cut spot welds way cleaner and if you wanna reinstall panel it makes a perfect hole for a plug weld

[@DrYellowFlash]

So much builds! You guys need more production crew! At least 2 videos a week

[@br1dgeKeePeR]

)) awesome horizontal drift at the end of the video

[@alexancheta9562]

Mark's car should get some TLC as well. And that would make for great content. I'd like that yellow brighten up even more.

[@antoniosousa8145]

Nice soundtrack!

[@Macedonia914]

S2k harlequin is coming together great. All joking aside, another amazing video!

[@tortron]

Love my finger sander, I have worn a few of them out. But id probably have used more spot weld cutters (until you get a batch that don't work and then they get relocated all over the workshop)

[@innocrates]

That was beautiful. I am referring to Ben rolling on the thing in the end of the video

[@ZOK08]

Oh yea. That jazz was it. Thank you

[@GiannisZax]

I doubt the car will be getting a soft top back. What I'm hoping is it doesn't get a fastback hardtop. I feel like it messes with the car's lines too much. Also, what about the rear tubs?
