This Was NOT Easy, BUT WORTH IT! // 2UZ V8 1974 Celica

[@johncargo2882]

My hat's off to you. If anyone ever asks why restomods done by a shop cost six figures, they need to watch your videos. It's the labor.

[@Jumalten001]

Nah its greed not labor. stop being a simp.

[@Mis73rRand0m]

WTF? I doubt this person has ever done anything valuable in life.

Picked up a grey one! Can’t wait to wear it! I get lots of compliments on the Japanese Muscle t-shirt as well. That might be a good one to bring back if possible.

oh come on. we all knew Miss Sarah cant not clean. lol

[@michaelspurling4376]

Last week, I was having a beer with an old friend who is currently living in Saipan. He has been doing a restoration on a 70s Celica for years so I mentioned that I follow a KZbin channel where a woman is doing a Celica restomod. He got a big smile and said, "Sarah -n- Tuned? I love that channel!".

[@dalehenry4694]

That's cool🚗

[@Primus54]

Sooo much work went into this video and there aren’t sufficient adjectives to describe how impressive is this production. The end result of all that labor on the Celica is worth thousands of dollars which is impressive on its own. But to perform all that while producing such an entertaining, educational, and professional video is a very special talent. You are a KZbin unicorn! 😉. Thank you, Sarah 👍👍👍

[@PhoenixStarborn]

Agreed, I prefer this channel to any other car mod restoration channel. Sarah is the real engineering deal, as an ex aviation engineer myself, retired early...I appreciate the meticulous eye to detail. It's helps that I too built a 74 Celica, except I put a fully worked turbo 4 in it. So much fun to drive , it was a monster. I no longer own it unfortunately. Oh , Sarah being a gorgeous nerd dork is just a bonus.

It was nice hearing Ping. Thanks for keeping that in there.

[@mikeplantagenet2983]

When I was young, I had a Corolla circa 1970 that was this colour. After watching your videos about your Celica, I dreamed that I went to my home town, found my actual old Corolla, bought it for a pittance, and then restored it. Strange how the mind works. Can't wait to see your Celica on the road! 💙

[@panamafloyd1469]

I'm loving this, and hoping other "early adopters" of J-Tin are too. Vindication, I guess for US folks like me who ever showed up at a car show and was run off by the Muscle Car/'50s Classic crowd ("Japanese cars will never be collectable!"). I took my '84 Prelude to the shop where my neighbor worked for a timing belt (too old to do the crankshaft nut on a Honda these days!!) after I bought it..techs were almost fighting over who got to work on it. Older guys who owned the shop were mystified. "Yeah, I figured it would happen now that a generation who grew up in the back seat of their mom's Civic wants one..", I said. They probably would have soiled themselves if I'd pulled up in something like what Sarah's building. RA71s are so pretty..thing's gonna rip with a V8. Hope she can keep a transmission in it.. And "space mustard" is the funniest thing I've heard on the internet in a week! 🤣

[@wishmire33]

I once had a dream...I was driving past a couple of mobile homes for rent, located far out in the countryside...then 6 or 12 months later I went for a drive in the country, on a road I'd never been on before...and there I saw those 2 mobile homes I had drempt about several months ago. DeJaVu . It was really weird !

The next Celica should be an updated version of that body style. I’m not sure the market would care for it in this day and age. But I think that particular body style has unique appeal that can speak to many tastes. Practical, fun, youthful in spirit but mature in execution (arguable, I realize) capable of satiating the adventurer within, and even muscular, given its compact size.
