i love how clean the bottom is compared to the top lol

[@RRCRestoration]

Haha i know i think its brilliant lol

He really had us in the first half on the fuel filler tube, not gonna lie.

[@RRCRestoration]

Haha glad you enjoyed my little joke :)

[@kenchow316]

i was so infuriated when he sprayed on the rust surface😂

[@snoopyslr]

@@kenchow316 The overspray on the drywall triggered me lol.

[@billybike57]

No joke! I was like “whaaaat?”

[@davidhiscock1969]

I think we all know a few places that would repair it that way !!!

[@theoutlaw2213]

I hate when these videos ends😂 Great restoration as always!!

[@RRCRestoration]

Not too long till the next one i promise ;)

The filler neck made me laugh I knew straight away that it was a joke. The quality of your work wouldn’t allow it lol.

Lol....me too. I was thinking.."oh dear..that's not like him!"

[@ThatBum42]

Still A+ work compared to the average stealership.

[@patrickfalk3830]

The restauration of the fuel pipe made me lough :-) THX keep it up

[@RRCRestoration]

Glad you enjoyed my little joke :)

[@IR-nq4qv]

I can't help but say, from my perspective, its almost like watching someone assemble a new car. Very neat and tidy job. Giving such attention to detail only ensures confidence and peace of mind when you go for a spin. When you fully restore the part between the two bumpers, you can take comfort in knowing that you'll never have to worry about the next part that will give out, rust out or fall off. Awesome job and video content as always. 👍👍👍 Cheers from across the pond.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much really glad you are enjoying the project. You hut the nail on the head when you are driving a car or bike you've fully restored the feeling of driving along knowing that you put it together and know what every part does and how it should be behaving is just a great feeling :)

[@Briefsquad]

Thank you for the time you put into the editing, camera angles and detail put into every one of these videos. It really goes to show your craftsmanship and work ethic. I appreciate it and I'm sure many others do too! I can't wait for the final result. That Subaru will be the cleanest GC8 I have ever seen.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, it means alot :)

[@merobot.6275]

The before and after photos at the end were so satisfying to watch! Feel so happy it looks the way it does now ! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Cup of coffee and 1/2 hour watching a craftsman at work , brilliant. Narration , spot on and just the noise of the tools working , luv it .

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment :) , i wasn't too sure about the narration at first but i think i have found a nice balance between work and talk.

Man, the before and after pictures are amazing!

Sad to see only 197k views..this should be in millions..wayy wayy better than most of the so called "car restoration" project..

[@BradyBegeman]

Man you’re going to have a lot of fun in that Subie when she’s all finished. Plus the peace of mind that it’s all sound on the running gear will be an asset.

[@RRCRestoration]

Yeah cant wait to get it back out on the road this summer, its been 6 years since ive driven her and i cant wait :)

[@theo.k]

Your cinematography is out of this world. I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into this, all while meticulously restoring your project.

[@RRCRestoration]

Wow! I was just in time.! Loving the progress on the Subaru so much, cheers..

[@RRCRestoration]

[@pyro323]

It's great to see you take pride in what you do and know how to do the job properly. I watch Hand Tool Rescue as well as your channel. Eric, from Hand Tool Rescue, mostly rebuilds old tools and equipment. Watching from NY in the USA! Take care!

[@adiekaputra3662]

im a simple man, i see RRC Restoration i like

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@sneakyfoz3692]

I always admire people that do this kind of restoration of cars, it's good to see people still valuing old things in this rubbish throw away society we live in now.

[@RRCRestoration]

Exactly far to much waste in todays society! This car is a prime example the amount of people that said just fling all the parts out and buy new... why? The old stuff is still perfectly serviceable and with all the rust removed and repainted will be just as good as new for years to come and by using the cars original parts it keeps it genuinely original :)

[@cristianzorrilla2540]

Absolutely perfect. The tools, the voice, the metrics, the car... So soothing... so cool. I am in love with your videos. Also, you had us on the first half, not gonna lie (with that duck taped pipe...)

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment, really glad you are enjoying my videos :)

[@binmandez]

wish i had your skill set bro, top job!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you! Cheers! :)

[@averagecarguy420]

Wow that is a huge difference you’ve given that car a new life

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you :)

[@InstrucTube]

4:20 Oh thank god, I legit thought you were doing that for some reason and I was like "Gas eats duct tape, don't do it!"

[@RRCRestoration]

Haha glad to see my little joke worked a treat ;)

[@PTTM2006]

I'm speechless, what an amazing job. I used to have those brakes on my 2006 WRX, they were magic

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you very much, Yeah they have a great amount of stopping power and a nice pedal feel.

[@adamcannella2463]

Watching my beautiful daughter play while I view a beautiful transformation. Happy Friday!!!

doesn't get much better than that :)

[@LordHolley]

I have 2 GC8 cars now that I'm building. This is great info and perfect timing, thank you!

[@kwbalance108]

Watching your videos give me so much confidence to want to restore a car! Suspension work is my favorite thing to do, all the frustration is worth it when you feel the car planted to the road

[@manxman51]

Ah, Kentucky chrome! Just what you need to fix a leaky fuel neck! As always, fantastic job! You make it look so easy. The sure sign of a professional craftsman. Well done.

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment :)

[@TheCoronah]

ICP must love you :-) . All the new OEM parts in their little bags, with Subaru stickers... It's cool to see someone fix Scooby with love, saving one from the scrap.

Haha they do indeed . Glad you are enjoying the project :)

[@georgegrierson]

well, here I am on a Friday morning thinking of going to my garage to work on my 1981 Yamaha Seca 750... and then I see you have posted another video. Thanks for keeping me from my work!!

[@RRCRestoration]

Haha i can only apologize for holding you back from work ;) Hope it was worth the half hour delay?

[@georgegrierson]

@@RRCRestoration Definitely worth it... and once I watched you, I was motivated to spend a considerable amount of time removing wheels, preparing for new tires, and spending time on the front forks...

I follow hundreds of car related youtube accounts, but let me tell you this one I just discovered yesterday and it's my top 1. Super nice job, I love what you do and how proffesional you are. Good job sir.

I absolutely love watching this restoration. I have a GC8 as well that I bought brand new in 2000 and I still love it! This inspires me to give it some more TLC. Thanks!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, glad you are enjoying it. I have to say im a little jealous that you were able to buy yours brand new from the showroom :)

[@BionicMadness]

@@RRCRestoration I agree! Over the years I've done a ton of work to it and turned it for local rallycross in the US. I still love it as a daily driver and I'm happy with the number of thumbs up I get for it. Still, you've done an amazing job with yours!

[@PollittsProjects]

Outstanding work as always. And what an incredible transformation. If I could get my car to 20% of your standard, I'd be happy!

Such a great job! Well done to you sir for not skipping out on any parts perfect.

[@almac414]

I really like the simplicity of your videos @RRC Restoration. Currently going through a similar process with my 2003 WRX which was in good nick until I got it 9 years ago but after 19 years, half of which have been sitting on the street in Scotland it's pretty crusty. One thing I'd recommend to anyone pulling the back end of their classic apart and wanting to upgrade to the 2 pot rear calipers, is to order a set of newage WRX backing plates for the back. If you have everything apart anyway it's a simple job to swap them in and it means you don't need to run adaptor brackets as the caliper bolts straight in as it would in a sewage car.

[@globalfallout7249]

Black was definately the right colour to spray it. As it's set the car off beautifully

[@OwninYaNubz]

Yet another amazing video, love your content no rush but im still so pumped to see the ATC build continue, had one when i was a kid and would love to see it fully restored!

[@azarath1013]

Outstanding job, as always:-) I'm following your Subaru restoration project from the beginning, and watching the car being revived step by step, makes a huge impression, especially when it comes to the quality of your work. I own a 2003 GD blobeye WRX, and I've been dealing with rust and body repairs just last month. I have the car back since yesterday, and I've never been happier:-) Can't wait to see your car ripping the roads again, and I'm really curious about the final numbers for HP, and torque. Huge respect from Poland!

I run a land rover defender for work, and had that same problem with the filler pipe. I’m sure the company we lease from repaired it in the same fashion (you did for jokes) but it was for real! Won’t mention the company name, but after they had finished the job, they called me up to tell me NOT fill it completely up! Unbelievable! Awesome job pal, and go easy on that thumb 👍🏻

[@RRCRestoration]

I'm about to do the same on a Lincon LS, the only difference is it has been sitting outside for over 6 years and the rockers are completely gone, I live in Iceland so the salt has been doing work on that one. these videos have been giving me more confidance to start on that project :P

Howdy. The only thing I didn't like was pressing the bushings without a bit of Vaseline or oil ...

RESPECT MAN, I look forward to seeing you from Romania.

[@JimmyG1747]

You had me going with that fuel filler neck and duct tape. At first I was confused (What?!), then the anxiety set in (He's not....) and finally disbelief (no he can't!!!). Classic. Funniest thing I've seen for a while.

Oh, and that's a HUGE amount of rust. Do you guys have salt on your roads? We don't get that sort of rust unless we're using the car to tow boats. And I doubt your rex has been towing boats!

Its really coming on,cant wait to see end result inside and out..definitely have to do mines this summer...

[@martinfoy5167]

Absolutely love these video's,, the reason for torqueing the bolt is that each face will have a different friction coefficient , so tightening the bolt will localise it and concentrate the torque at the bolt 🤔👍
