Glad to see your back with a new video. That JDM 22B now looks as good as new!

[@wrxcult8266]

I know, it looks amazing 😎. The team did an incredible job!! Cheers

[@sanujayahewage9473]

That 22b will most definitely be the best example around, it looks great and you have the best team working on it!!!

[@wrxcult8266]

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words! 👍🏼

[@Danielmartin-h8i]

At last a new video has landed waited like a year for a new video 😂❤

[@wrxcult8266]

LOL...I hope the new year brings more time for WRX's!!! cheers

[@jamesm4526]

That was one of the more enjoyable videos that ive watched for a long time! 😊

[@wrxcult8266]

Thanks- I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍🏼

[@Jezabar34]

Congrats mate!!🔥🔥🔥

[@wrxcult8266]

Thank you...thrilled with the end result...

[@Jez4prez1]

Looks almost brand new on the underside now. Amazing work.

[@wrxcult8266]

Yes, the underside is immaculate!!!

[@Gregsheppo66]

Love the level of work done to the 22B. It’s literally pristine. Here in Sydney a GTR owner imported a 22B from Japan. Roumanos Moussa (RHM34) is the bloke. I only caught a short glimpse of it in one of his videos which was mainly about a GTR he’d also imported. I’m looking forward to seeing more of that 22B’s restoration probably later next as those guys are gonna be busy with GTR Festival USA next month. 👍

[@wrxcult8266]

DEFY are simply incredible. It's hard to describe the level of attention to detail...amazing!

[@chefinavan1]

Lovely job mate it's turned out real nice 👍

[@wrxcult8266]

Thank you- the guys (& Jo) involved did an incredible job

[@marcgibbs8657]

[@wrxcult8266]

[@wrx99]

Love Aussie content

[@wrxcult8266]

Thank you- appreciate the support

[@AndrewNosworthy-h4y]

Very fine example of a 22b . Looks awesome. Up there with the best in the country. Only know of one other in Sydney that would be better.

[@wrxcult8266]

It really is sweet...So good that it needs framing, in my loungeroom!!

[@LimitlessperformanceYT]

Looks incredible! 🔥

[@wrxcult8266]

Thank you- if only it was raised on see-through platform!

[@Whatmurdaaaaa]

There use to be a great workshop back in the day in Melbourne BGT Vin Macaro then went on to be head mechanic and tuner at sti docklands

[@wrxcult8266]
