The fact that you don't have a filter is what makes your commentary so much better than others on YT.

[@dougt5357]

And, the fact that a lot of us watching Sarah's videos also lack that filter is why we appreciate that so much! Filters are SO overrated!

[@UnlikelyToRemember]

100% I was dying during the "smells like" montage.

[@loudelvis610]

I'll have you know I turned 60 this year and during my 50s I filtered more than ever in my life...but after 60 I just don't give a fuck about the overly sensitive kids now days...fuck'em...so I enjoy

You are the single best car restoration channel I've seen. Incredible detail given and care taken with every part. Your commitment to oem is beyond refreshing. And I appreciate your contribution to history and content creation. Cheers 🍻 Sarah

[@zymeon]

I want Sarah to succeed and keep doing awesome stuff, an especially big thanks for all the unfiltered thoughts!

[@rickdoran6651]

the brown goo is called Cozmoline. I worked for a company in the late 70s. we would spray Jeeps with it ( cover them completely ) before they were put on ships to go overseas. It protected the cars from salt water. They remove it on the other end with super hot water, as we were told.

[@SarahnTuned]

Interesting to know!

[@JesseArt]

I get excited every time Sarah says "I think I can save them!" Restoring the OE parts is totally worth it in my opinion.

[@John-pc3cx]

Your attention to the most minute detail is what sets you apart from a lot of car restorers. It borderlines on obsessive but that’s what keeps me watching!

[@Primus54]

Having watched hundreds of your vids, I’m always fascinated by your attention to detail and creativity to restore various “accoutrements” to original condition (or better). FYI, surgical hemostats are very useful for extracting deep-seated light bulbs (Amazon). Thank you as always, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@bobuncle8704]

6:00 Sarah, it’s things like this that set you apart. Your attention to these details is outstanding.

[@bradleysargent9803]

I love the balance of nonsense, carefulling and sound technical work. Thank you for that!

[@gregsheppard1457]

How does this just keep getting better? Sarah, you're one of a kind.

[@Mach1048]

10 minute Sarah is way to relatable. I'm never going to be able to retire, just work until I die.

[@shawncarlile2610]

Your Celica is looking amazing! Also, I literally started watching your channel more often because of your jokes and lack of mental to verbal filter. It makes you easier to connect with.

It's okay... your "broken sound hole filter" is the main reason I watch your videos rather than many of the other 10,000 car video people. But... gotta say... your work is amazing. So meticulous. So perfect.

[@joshfosho]

"and to answer that question" proceeds to get distracted -sums up it up perfectly! cant wait to see it driving!

So glad those posts didn't break off the back of the grill there. I was really bracing for heartbreak. The clear side markers look like they were 40 years ahead of their time. Thanks again for the great video!

[@ianthepelican2709]

Whenever I go to car (wreckers) yards these days I find myself automatically checking for old Celicas and MR2's. Sarah your influence runs deep🥰.

[@Cokecan55d]

Sarah, if everyone who wanted to restore a car watched your videos, the accepted standards for auto restoration would increase by at least an order of magnitude. I wish I had this type of inspirational and motivational edge when I was restoring my 1970 Malibu 30 years ago. You’re killing it.

[@27nayminthu]

as much as I wanna watch the episode where you start this car, I'm also loving every single bit of this build series! much love and respect.

[@Shawnthecorndog1971]

Hey, I don’t do social media much, but I just have to say I’ve been watching a lot of of your videos today actually binge watching them, and I’m sorry for your loss with Jeremy. I have no family left. My wife died of Covid in 2019 and you’re really inspiring thank you thank you for sharing.!!!!!

You’re the biggest OCD nerd I’ve ever seen!!! AND I LOVE IT!!!! Since I work a 5am-8pm job and don’t have the energy to invest this much time and energy into my whip….I live vicariously through you! Well done! If only I could find a mechanic/detailer who cared about their workmanship like you do!

To repair old or new plastics I use baking soda and thin super glue. Just the other day a plastic drain plug on my compressor snapped off at the threads. I cleaned the two halves. Dipped the broken ends in baking soda. Pressed them together and applied thin super glue. It's holding great. It's my go to technique for repairing plastics and even carbon fiber mounting lugs. Try it on some scrap pieces and you'll see!

[@Dusty0116]

This is my first Toyota! A 1973 Celica ST (Silver w/ Black Vinyl roof) 4-spd. I bought it new when I was stationed at Duluth AFB in MN. Learned to drive that stick shift on the ice & snow covered roads and hills. It was a fun, peppy little bugger. People made fun of my ST but I think they were secretly jealous. Then I moved to AZ and traded it for a 1977 Ford LTD II with air conditioning! Really enjoy watching your progress. Amazed at your quality and skills. Cannot imagine how much peppier your ST will be on those Tucson dry roads. This video series warms my heart and brings back so many great memories. Thanks!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Okay... I don't know that this stuff is any less tedious than the electric wiring... but you are right - it makes a HUGE difference. I love taking old stuff and making it look new again, but I don't have near the patience that you have... or that one HAS to have to achieve these results. I still think you should look into that portable A/C (run off a battery/inverter thing) like Ambition Strikes uses in their Army truck. I just can't imagine being near Tucson and NOT having A/C. You do such excellent work... thanks for sharing all this with us.

[@spdcrzy]

Thank you for being a treasure trove of mechanical and electrical knowledge. You have already taught me more than you will ever know.

😮I've said it before but, at the risk of being repetetive, i'll say it again. I love your attention to detail, it's what sets your videos way above the others. It's great that you insist on OEM parts where available or restore where thay are not.

I work with two ladies who like to fix airplanes, specifically Twin Otters and King Airs. One is an apprentice, the other a seasoned AME (A&P tech to you lucky Americans). Both have similar senses of humor to our host here, the apprentice being very uncompromising, detail oriented and succinct in her speech and thought processes, the veteran completely whacky and unabashedly spontaneous. But it would still take two of each of them for a total of four to make one Sarah....
