[@nigelkerr2513]

Celine - your David Attenborough style comments of Sarah in her favorite habitat was spot on !

[@richardlapoint1845]

I loved that 🤣🤣

[@ianprice2298]

Sarah, you may think your OCD is a problem that needs solving, but it is actually one of your key qualities that make your car projects so fascinating, and this channel so great. We do not see a problem, we just see wonderful!

[@andy-james-]

It's really nice to see big sister looking after little sister. Hope we see more of you two after her cars finished.

[@rustyshackleford81]

*sister*

[@gregorybechtel4403]

Nothing better than a beautiful woman that likes to work on cars and helping out your sister U r awesome woman

[@EfOneAddict]

Show of hands, who thinks Celine will have a Concours restored Xterra by the time her sister gets done? I mean like... Pebble Beach level shit.

[@The08450]

I finished typing then put my hands up! lol

[@jody024]

If the MR2 is an indication..... yeah probably.

[@vinceradical8910]

sarah won't be able to stop herself. the OCD is strong

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

What's the off-road equivalent to Pebble beach? Probably an awards ceremony you have to be able to get to, to be eligible for, somewhere harder then the Rubicon Trail.

[@EfOneAddict]

@@PiDsPagePrototypes Boulder Beach? Where all the rigs are judged from five feet away.

[@TrumpetBiz]

All hail Queen Sarah. Master of Cleanliness. Ruler of OCD across the land.

[@Boatlife1964]

Celina doing her best David Attenborough impersonation...🤣🤣👍👍❤️

[@richardhorner4799]

Love it!

[@sadiqmohamed681]

Working on a car while wearing white jeans is pretty gangster, and the bit with Celine narrating you painting the bumper was adorable. These videos as such fun!

[@grahamserle7930]

O.C.D can be an absolute curse. I had it until kids came along and you quickly realise that trying to have everything looking absolutely perfect is the road to tension in relationships and unhappiness. Doing the best you can is one thing but knowing where to draw the line on what is acceptable is a necessary life skill that can save your sanity.

[@chrisdunham6119]

It's not OCD, it's ATD - attention to detail

[@Patrick94GSR]

This. Unless you’ve been clinically diagnosed with a debilitating condition, you shouldn’t really say that you have OCD.

[@apprenticefelix7740]

aye sir

[@richardhobbs9038]

It might be . . . . . ATDOCD !

[@timothyhays1817]

Thats enabling.

[@brightymcbrightface]

right - people with "real" OCD don't _know_ they have it and don't see it as a problem when confronted with examples

[@michaelskinner896]

I love the little things - it makes so much of a difference. Sister's truck is looking better!

[@contracostaexpert]

Film welding... get a piece of glass. Mount it on a block of wood. Put glass between you and camera

[@JosephDragunov]

Amazon has some tempered glass protectors. Albeit I'm not sure they'll protect the whole camera.

[@ColeSpolaric]

I was thinking the same thing

[@SirShoddrick]

I need to park my Bronco II in front of your house, until your OCD overcomes you, and restore it! Ok thanX

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

Make a box with a glass front and put the camera in it would work to protect the camera.

[@archstanton664]

Celine: Can you help me buy a car? Sarah: So you have chosen KZbin fame...

[@ColJonSquall1]

We all have a bin or drawer of random hardware. Comes in handy when you need to replace one that broke on a vehicle.

[@anthonydurling4093]

People's curiosity is not people's business. Never explain things like that. The people's of the interwebs can accept or move on. Another fantastic video.

[@electric8668]

There's something strangely attractive, interesting and addictive about you and your videos. Not the typical automotive fare. Keep it coming.

[@rocketscientist007]

Well said.

[@iQuantium]

You are so right. I thinks its Weird Science & Alchemy, Maybe the Air Force trained her in the ways of the Bene Gesserit.

[@5914DL]

Since I'm old enough to be your dad, just gonna say it. Cover up when you weld Sarah. Big project, little quick project, doesn't matter. UV and weld splatter can turn pretty Sarah into sad, damn that hurts Sarah. Love the sister project.

[@philanaemic]

Fuck yeah, when I decided to learn to weld I gave myself at least 2 rounds of massive sunburn due to not using a full face mask or long sleeves.

[@82leone]

Totally was thinking the same thing. That poor mid rif would of been frying 🥵

[@ThePrairieDogChannel]

Nothing like seeing your skin flake off your arms, that and i know that had to burn little holes in the white pants..

[@zxb995511]

OCD just means "things get done properly". The world needs more of that.

[@jstitan2972]

Keep the Xterra content coming 👌

[@leer.2137]

Your passion & care is amazing and appreciated here

[@randyfleet9968]

Loved the video! Sisters working together without fighting on camera. I really liked the segment that Celine did the voice-over about you in your natural habitat.

[@NSRS1]

As a Nissan Xterra owner, I enjoy this series! Great work and thanks for making this content😎👍

[@hairweare3]

Ok you have inspired me to go into my garage and fix my bicycle.😘

[@ZaibatsuCorporationx]

Jdm that b with shimano,loooooool

[@TheCimbrianBull]

*Queen's "I Want To Ride My Bicycle" intensifies*

[@adamthirdbourne324]

You are the epitome of quality KZbin content!

[@jerrymagsanoc607]

You’re such a nice sister.

[@ezlikesundae68]

I've been following you for about 2 years now. This is easily my favorite build so far.

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

"Better than it was" thats my motto. You always hit a point of diminishing returns. For the year and miles thats a clean daily

[@jenarddecastro2597]

I'm enjoying this sisterly project series a whole lot. . . THANK YOU!

[@rickwhitescarver8526]

2024 here. Going back and watching this series about your sisters truck

[@jywn]

5:28 I was at set with a crew filming a welding robot, and we had the same problem, I'd try to put a pane of glass in front of the GoPro while filming

[@philipschrantz8402]

You two are amazing. I love watching Celine slowly emerge from her fog of shyness!

[@Iskelderon]

Sweet! Your little sister is so lucky to have a big sister like you. Hope you'll eventually take her to car events as well to introduce her to that side of car culture.

[@ryanmarshall4741]

At eight minutes and five seconds love little sister’s comments! LOL

[@gidzilla]

You say this is not a build but.... it’s annoyingly enjoyable and entertaining!!! 🤣

[@netsurfers9357]

You took a lot of care of your half sisters vehicle nearly as though if it was your own! That means a lot now days! Not only that, most of the dirt/grime is off of it, so next time working on it won't be as bad!

[@RealBrotha32]

I Am Totally Loving These Videos !! Keep Up The Great Work Sarah & I Love Your Sisters New Truck Series Too, Salute Queens.

[@tomroberson5040]

Celine is so cute love how you get along

[@lVlegabyte]

I'm absolutely loving these videos about the Xterra

[@briana8332]

Xterra is looking better and better with each video! BTW, I think anyone who really takes pride in their work is going to be somewhat OCD. I’m this way with my vehicles, and I don’t consider it a flaw 😉😊

[@sidewithwerewolves]

Nisstech lifts has all the stuff for gen 1 xterras.

[@scotts6702]

The truck is really starting to look better. I think LEDs replacing those bumper lights would be a huge improvement both and looks and functionality.

[@mikerequa820]

Looks great young ladies as always Sarah fine job looks new. Just can't beat two sister's workin together. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy family time

[@zakkrick]

You’re just like the bigger brother, but just the bigger sister. Helping out with your sister car.

[@redneckindustries]

I Enjoy the work on the XTERRA 10 times more than the Ford Focus!! Don't apologize, this New Project is Mega-Interesting.. 3 of us here at work are now following your progress..Great Job Sarah!!

[@kalevinieminen7742]

OMG, that button at 11:06

[@JK-ns5dr]

Going back looking at your older videos, I love this one helping out you sis.

[@Mekaeshi]

Small things make difference, This is perfect Sarah.

[@LADYGURRLL]

Hootenizer!!! Love it. I thought I was the only one that uses words like that! Sawesomeness!!!

[@jamespavier1624]

The dynamic Duo great to watch.

[@joshman426]

Hi Sarah, I know your OCD might be a pain but it's a quality that makes you special and unique. It also makes your channel stand out from other automotive channels. Always fun to watch you do your thing.

[@interestedinstuff9601]

Mega progress already! Try a bump cap - you can get one's that look just like a baseball cap but with a dinky peak so you can look upwards. Actually practical unlike hard hats in tight spaces.

[@edwinsemidey1992]

I Love your sister Narrating about you painting in your natural Habitat. I bet your Sis is freaking about your OCD when you work on her vehicle

[@DonnieB]

I don't have a bin but, I have a few plastic shoe box size containers. One for bolts from the beginning of my wrench turning days and others to save gaskets and O-ring seals. Life saver when you are out working miles away from anyone or any store.

[@rmorris3722]

Enjoying your OCD. Makes us that aren't as a clean nut to do better work.

[@stephenmoxley3004]

Nice work, Sarah. Your skill will make that old Nissan a really nice car, when you're done with it. And your sister will love it! This whole project adds another nice dimension to your channel. Keep it up!

[@MegaTube1313]

What a cracking pair can watch them all day long Your sister is tidy too 😎

[@madfrosty5228]

Well done my fellow OCD sufferer , the truck looks better and better 👍🏻

[@tilleytristan]

nobody has ever filmed welding in any comprehensive sort of way. I like how you pointed the cam on yourself, as you welded. That's what we all want to see anyhow.

[@stephantherrien7153]

You are the Total Package!

[@davidanderson3999]

Since you have a welder ,try Move bumper kit, it comes prebent, you add what options you want, bars etc, and you weld it up, paint/ bed liner, coat it and install, much cheaper than, welding finished bumpers

[@chriscruickshank4782]

Whatever makes you happy is all that matters. No judging.

[@RetirementGoals1]

I’m liking the semi-restoration project xterra. As a fellow OCD’er I appreciate the “picking your battles” projects on an older off-roader, it doesn’t need to be mint and show worthy.

[@LonTierney]

Bilstien Shocks! Lift it a little!

[@greenreaper8663]

It’s funny how you can’t help but clean and paint everything up, but I think that’s how it should be done. Great job, loving your videos!

[@pulser955]

When I had my Tacoma I really liked All Pro Off Road and Procomp bumpers. You should build a prerunner style tube bumper for it with a skid plate and some lights.

[@baronvolkov6172]

Sarah, a set of Manual Locking hubs on the front axle are a must. Less wear, resistance and better mpg! Especially if you only need 4wd for offroad

[@jasonxterra]

Warn locking hubs.

[@rjstp21]

Use LEDs on all the lights so that it will light up brighter while using less power from the battery. There are replacements for the bulbs that are LEDs so that's the only thing you neeed to change and use the cars existing housing assembly instead of replacing the entire assembly with a new one that already has LEDs in them. Also you might want to respray the rims and make them black, as well as replace the tires with wider A/T tires (just a little wider but not too wide).

[@XterraRob]

That is a super clean engine bay...coming from an offroaded xterra that drops mud and dirt everywhere when I touch an impact wrench to it!

[@TMERUNNR]

I luv this mini series, You Ladies are Crushing it!!!🤘

[@AgeCobra]

Your sister has a slight which sounds like an English accent .You are perfectionist it is your sisters after all..Old wrench swinger here

[@kevinjones5560]

Thanks for the relationship info. I was going to ask but it was rude. You two couldn’t be more different in looks and personality.

[@StraightLineCycles]

I love how every car person ever, has a bin of bolts. Spare bolts 🔩 unite!

[@pizzamann95]

And we know where and what they came off of. Wife: Why do you have this? Me: Um yeah, that's the retaining clip for the arm rest of a Fiat 500 Wife: Why do you still have it? Me: I might need it some day or someone might need it and I'll have it for them.

[@StraightLineCycles]

@@pizzamann95 indeed sir

[@jwelchon2416]

Welding in white pants. You are a dapper fabricator indeed!!

[@marklivos]

Love how it's coming up

[@benslooking4coolstuff]

Wow, I Love so many things about this vid! Awesome!

[@CrustyKustomsGarage]

I like this series on the xterra. I have always wanted one. I might have to follow in your sisters footsteps.

[@sarj2836]

Nice video you are a Ray of sunshine.

[@charlessmarr7107]

I really enjoy watching the two of you do this.

[@nstied]

Calmini makes parts for these things. They make a brace for the front suspension which addresses a weak link off-road iirc. Also they NEED at least Bilstein shocks. It makes a huge difference.

[@shaneshubert1663]

I have a 2000 xterra and did this same thing a few days ago (painting the bumper, grill, and fender pieces, and the running boards) I also masked it off, and peeled paint off the fender while removing the painters tape 😂

[@scottymurk]

I love the sound effects.

[@MS-hd8yq]

Great work you two 💪💪

[@jeffgoodenough9932]

Wow Sarah that looks 100% better great job.

[@lionelwilliams1968]

Your OCD for what's right is amazing!!🤗

[@celestinoybarra3057]

You’re a great sister, gotta love it.

[@wowiedude21]

Coastal Offroad; High Clearance Offroad Armor. Tht's what I plan on running. Bumpers & Skids.

[@pkuudsk9927]

That's roll modeling at it's best, little sis is learning its not that hard if you try .Your ocd just added another 2k value to that truck . Used to drive me nuts getting into a customers rolling garbage can . I never understood how people could let their cars get so dirty made me wonder what the house is like. Or how people can let all the little things broken pile up until it's a POS with 50 easy to DIY fixes . I hope your inspiring people to try and fix the small things by showing how simple it is 90% of the time .

[@mvmallinson]

Absolutely loving watching this project and it must be so rewarding for you

[@jeffschimke3297]

Love your videos you take such pride on your work

[@murphtheirishmanmurphy7268]

Sarah! Sarah! Sarah! And love little sis. Keep on keeping on girls. 😘☘️

[@Greatday68]

ARB makes a off road bumper for the X Terra . You could build your own, or look into move bumpers that is pre bent that you weld up.

[@dickvercouteren1424]

YOU GO GRILL !

[@anthonyburrows2787]

Yes understand that OCD have spent like 3 hours filling rust pits after media blasting on the back side of my winch bumper before. Just because i know they're there and it will look so much better if the bumper looks like it never had any rust beforehand. Then again i keep telling myself its not OCD its just close attention to detail. An that you show in your videos that sets a well built project, back from a totally awesome one, like the work you turn out. Keep up the great work.

[@mattt.8427]

I'm really enjoying this new series of video of restaureting your sis's car!! So nice of you

[@Breakspear100]

I can't believe how much I'm enjoying these Nissan truck clean up vids! keep them coming.

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

I love your videos! And Celine your narrating on Sarah was soo funny!

[@Torsee]

Looks great! It’s a well maintained original!

[@igormattise2817]

Great video love how you are helping out your little sister. Love your video alot FYI they are so amazing!!!

[@davegillette953]

You guys are a great pair, nice video thanks!

[@davids6533]

I believe Paul of Fab Rats could build a bumper that you would be proud to have on any vehicle, and would likely be the strongest part of the car.
