The Finishing Touches on my JDM Subaru Forester STI tS Conversion

[@1leggeddog]

Sarah on the Ranger: "I dont wanna half-ass it" Oh c'mon girl, we know you NEVER half-ass anything. You always go above and beyond with EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH!!

[@H8onG]

As someone who has been doing upholstery for 18yrs, thanks for saying what we do is not easy.

[@rockman4699]

Love your humor especially your lack of filter. Don't ever change.

[@stevedoe1630]

1:29,,, “Vape cloud intensifies”, totally awesome, best way to get serious about keeping viewers interested is not to take the car stuff too seriously.

[@GoodTimes243]

Black headliner would really set the interior off !!!! Always an amazing job.

[@zxcdg123]

I like how Sarah actually gets multiple things done in each video instead of doing 2000 cliffhangers like all the other KZbinrs😂

[@robertrohr3990]

You are so industrious and dedicated! That interior is sick! Plus a 6spd is so cool.

[@jimgermain6622]

Holy upholstery cleaning tracks on that rear seat upright!! That was impressive! Gump is looking great!

[@atticstattic]

I'm more impressed with the upholstery work than the mechanical stuff!

[@DavidVasquez-hs9bo]

The bolstering test is priceless and fun . ☺

[@GSErnie]

You have to be so patient to do this. Both the work itself and waiting for parts. Kudos.

[@SarahnTuned]

Yes, very patient indeed 😬

[@802Garage]

Sarah, your dedication to doing things right never ceases to amaze me.

[@cestusfr]

It is such a pleasure to see someone do a proper work. Have work ethic in what they do. Absolutely refreshing!

[@spenmac]

Bolt on jobs that work out are always satisfying. And regarding what you record and such, yes the content is part of it but its you the person most of us like to watch and listen to.

[@alainlavoie2795]

Exactly! Well said!

[@froilanalcasabas1073]

I have my Forester for months, only this time I realized back seat is reclinable! Thanks a lot! 😊😊😊

[@HappyCarReviews]

I love your patience and dedication. You certainly love what you do. RESPECT!

[@paulechols]

Looks amazing🤠🤠🤠 touchless is a huge timesaver!!!

[@davidmahan4160]

Great detailing Sarah, I agree those little touches make to difference, I love your attention to detail, Gump is looking awesome. 😊👍

[@anthonywagner3273]

Sarah, absolutely love love love what you've done to Gump so far. Definitely what Japan should have given the US market. You're doing a great job on ALL of your projects. And don't beat yourself up trying to please anybody. All real car people knows there is a lot of jobs on project cars that is not fun and boring but essential to a build. Again you're doing a great job.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

I did not realize you plan to 6 speed the Gump! that is awesome!!

[@AceGreene]

“I bought some trim” with a smirk. Nice!

[@philipmcmurtry4629]

Great to see that the folding and reclining rear seats still worked when you swapped the foam and covers. Proves that hard work and dedication gets results. Thank you Sarah for doing these experimental swaps.

[@IronmanV5]

Videos like this are why we love you

[@mrstoives2444]

What a difference, given Gump a fresh look. Ps congrats on the increasing numbers on your second channel. Can’t wait for the next review!

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

11:50 that eye roll lmao You're doing a fantastic job with this transformation, those seats look incredible in there.

[@michaelwilliams9658]

WOW!! That looks great!!! Well done, young lady.

[@ronaldmallette]

I bought some trim once....I was 18, it was the 80's....I was stationed in W. Germany and it was legal......OK that was a lot to share. If I have my druthers I'll choose the small butt plug option for the initial experience 😜.

[@brianb7844]

Interior looks great. Awesome job!!!

[@dougjustdoug6391]

One of the best tool investments you can make is a quality pair of hogring pliers, otherwise you'll get carpal tunnel in your wrists after one reupolstering job

[@rayschoch5882]

It really looks great! I'm a fan of piano black… I admire your perseverence…

[@rhllnm]

I was wondering what PNO black was! LOL

[@richrigney4610]

The seats and badges look awesome.

[@danielgallegos8869]

Another Awesome vid 👍, that bolstering test, WOW 👍👍👍 great job!! 🔥

[@JMacGyver1]

Great video. As a former owner of a 2003 WRX wagon (5 speed), I’m really digging on the Forester STI you’ve created. Subaru should have been making them this way from the point they dropped the WRX wagon, imho.

[@DanShike]

From the suspension to the seats. How friggin’ awesome the detail you go into and that you figure out *everything* about the stuff you want to do. Soooo cool.

[@getlosttoday4045]

The things this woman takes on is amazing 👏 Great job Sarah!

[@charger19691]

I appreciate your excellent attention to detail. You do outstanding work!

[@kalnieminen65]

I actually feel happy when you do something that makes you happy. You really are a gifted car geek.

[@timglass6041]

Hi Sarah, I love your attention to cleanliness and detail. You should be proud of your OCD, it has made you a KZbin Star. All of your vehicles are immaculate and well maintained.

[@Kodiak660]

SARAH!!!!! (Looks great!)

[@jpiazzola]

Another fun one! I like the ones where you're working on cars. I think having your seperate channel for car reviews is a splendid idea. Thanks again for all your hard work producing top notch videos.

[@blumpkin50]

I love going back to these old videos of yours, yes everything you do is legit. You are bad ass, thanks for all the effort Sarah!

[@garyworokevich2976]

Interior looks great, and the attention to the exterior badges. Looking forward to the fender flares.

[@Robert-cd2ht]

Congrats on a pro quality job. The interior is outstanding. I have been discussing remote video editing with a tech guru, no hard drive handoff required still it's a dedicated job.

[@mikemorin6078]

There is nothing you can't accomplish! I'm in awe- from complete rewiring to breaking down seats to reskin them. Keep it up.

[@nicklutz61]

Another classic Sarah video; amazing production quality, great technical content, and super attention to detail. Make sure to thumbs up and smash that subscribe button!

[@Beer20001]

Awesome video Sarah! Nice Subaru forester sti update...the car looks better aesthetically already...all the best with the rest of the build!

[@RetirementGoals1]

Love the attention to detail! You have a great eye for getting it right and making it look like it’s from the factory. Those seats all look brand new and drum tight. 👍🏻

[@daveh9415]

Another pure awesome video, thank you Sarah. The new interior looks class, wish it was mine now :)

[@dxg999]

Sarah's excitement levels = 11/10!

[@philipmcmurtry4629]

I’d forgotten how much I hated hog rings until I watched this!! My apprenticeship in a Ford workshop in the UK 25 + years ago involved daily replacing seat foam and trims on MK6 Escorts. We used to open the old rings rather than cutting them. We also discovered that very small cable ties (called zip ties in the USA I think) worked just as well and were much easier to fit.

[@garymucher9590]

Bravo Sarah, Bravo. Not many people know just how hard it is to work with seat coverings. Not easy by any explanation. But you seemed to have pulled that off flawlessly. Thumbs Up!

[@hvysshvy7513]

Super great mods! The interior upgrades look awesome

[@rickbdatsun]

Damn! Forester looks great!! Always impressed with the work you do!

[@aroundomaha]

The interior looks awesome and I’m enjoying the gump series. Also looking forward to more MR2.

[@charlierosenbusch3007]

I'm loving this conversation. I look forward to seeing what the end result is. Stay safe.

[@eskieman3948]

Sarah, thank you for the bolstering test at 11:52! Seriously - outstanding job on this Forester (Subaru, are you watching?). Carry on!

[@lannym]

When I remove badges, I use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive and then cut through it with dentil floss. The trim removal tool made me nervous too...

[@johnceragioli9671]

Looks great Sarah! I saw James May looking approvingly at your cleaning/installations. well done!

[@jasonfalk7696]

It looks amazing! Your attention to detail, is one of the top reasons you're my favorite channel.

[@redporschekilla]

Ok Sarah… we’ve to talk! Saturday I ran my usual maintenance on my commuter, oil change, air filter, the works…. I’m finished, look at my engine compartment and, and , and START CLEANING IT WITH A TOOTHBRUSH. After a while I stop, thank Sarah for putting that crap in my mind and continue….. so a 20 mins affair turned in to a 2 hour project. But w/o honking my own horn, my ATS engine is clean! 😁 you see? That happens…

[@chrisgillingham2963]

Little tip when removing badging, use either a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the glue. The badges come off a lot easier and you will not damage them if you ever want to reuse them. Love your videos, keep up the great work. You crack me up.

[@moletrap2640]

Had a 2005 WRX STi, one of my favorites. First rate handling and power. Fun in the curves. Yanked off the rear wing first thing and it became a sleeper.

[@matthewprather7386]

Seems like the door cards might need a tiny bit of red trim to tie in with the seats. Looks great! The 6MT swap is gonna be awesome! You should 0-60 test it before you do the swap!

[@ninongsoseph]

I'm so in love with your forester right now!😍😍😍!Well done Sarah!

[@danielmattiello1507]

Detail is unmeasurable. There is not anything you do to your cars that isn't stupid clean. Great work girl, as always.

[@w077714]

Love the bolstering 😍

[@abpsd73]

That interior looks awesome. I'm looking forward to when you start the Ranger. With your persistence, you'll probably manage to find parts and fasteners that are long obsolete that most average Ford guys can't find.

[@CaptRD]

Nice job, I really like how it came out. This was a very significant upgrade to the car.

[@branislavmarcincak7490]

Sarah is obviously able to break down a car into atoms... Great Job! Greetings from Czechoslovakia! (Slovak in Czech)...

[@ianelliott229]

I’m in endless awe of your engineering competence, attention to detail and determination. 🤩

[@scottbutler2343]

Such a minor detail but the piano black definitely upped the game and are perfect with those RECARO seats. Gotta appreciate the Lego strategy for car parts.

[@jimcabezola3051]

I enjoy your videos; nothing's "half-arsed" about them. I hope YOU enjoyed the fruits of your labours with many hours of road tripping your Forester Gump.

Thanks Sarah, I now know how to take a seat apart, and no, I'll leave it up to the pros. And yes, your Gramm's Ranger deserves a frame off resto. I did the 68 Dodge pictures behind me, back in '83. I can help you through the work on your Ranger.

[@christowles559]

Of course we want to see the bolstering test! Lol Seriously impressive work! Subscribing!!

[@troyfankell6581]

Gump looks great with all the TS trim! I'm hoping when I do the GG WRX wagon rear seat in my GF Impreza it will be the same as your Fozzie. Transfering to the old hinged base by cutting hog rings and re-gluing the foam.

[@NovaResource]

Fantastic job. That really looks amazing. One tip for the future, when removing emblems, use fishing line to cut the tape instead of prying the emblem. Then use a 3M Stripe Off Wheel (part number 07498) to remove the remaining tape/glue. It works so well and is great from removing tape pinstripes. You can get the 3M wheel from Amazon for about $35.

[@Andrew4181975]

Using waxed dental floss works even better, or even an old credit card slipped behind it. I collect car badges at the Junkyard sometimes.

[@ronaldsteiger7562]

I enjoy your videos but I must say I am impressed with all your knowledge and talents !!

[@DigitalMoose]

Upholstery is maddening work. Even doing 71 Honda CB450 seats makes one crazy. Love your content.

[@tayl0rd553]

For what it's worth, and for everyone's future reference, there is a hog ring removal tool. I used one when I reupholstered our old Forester. Saved me from having to buy new rings. Didn't really save much time over just cutting them, though. FYI, doing upholstery sucks! LOL My fingernails hurt just remembering it.

[@randysparanormalinvestigat9657]

The interior makes the whole car kick. Not a Subaru fan, but what you've done with the inside this far is great. be sticking around to see the complete finish inside and out.

[@thomasrossi31]

Looks awesome ! Nice mod.

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

Oh! Yea, loved your Reggie Hammond ( 1982, Eddie Murphy character in 48 hrs) reference! You did grin when you said it, correct me if I’m wrong! The interior work looks awesome and you didn’t lose the rear seat reclining feature! and thank you for the bolster test, very scientific method, but wait till you swap out the transmission until you “give it the beans”

[@craig2100]

Love the way the Forrester is turning out. Now thinking of doing mods on mine. Sweet!
