The Finishing Touches on my JDM Subaru Forester STI tS Conversion

[@1leggeddog]

Sarah on the Ranger: "I dont wanna half-ass it" Oh c'mon girl, we know you NEVER half-ass anything. You always go above and beyond with EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH!!

[@rockman4699]

Love your humor especially your lack of filter. Don't ever change.

[@H8onG]

As someone who has been doing upholstery for 18yrs, thanks for saying what we do is not easy.

[@stevedoe1630]

1:29,,, “Vape cloud intensifies”, totally awesome, best way to get serious about keeping viewers interested is not to take the car stuff too seriously.

[@GoodTimes243]

Black headliner would really set the interior off !!!! Always an amazing job.

[@zxcdg123]

I like how Sarah actually gets multiple things done in each video instead of doing 2000 cliffhangers like all the other KZbinrs😂

[@802Garage]

Sarah, your dedication to doing things right never ceases to amaze me.

[@cestusfr]

It is such a pleasure to see someone do a proper work. Have work ethic in what they do. Absolutely refreshing!

[@robertrohr3990]

You are so industrious and dedicated! That interior is sick! Plus a 6spd is so cool.

[@blumpkin50]

I love going back to these old videos of yours, yes everything you do is legit. You are bad ass, thanks for all the effort Sarah!

[@DanShike]

From the suspension to the seats. How friggin’ awesome the detail you go into and that you figure out *everything* about the stuff you want to do. Soooo cool.

[@danielgallegos8869]

Another Awesome vid 👍, that bolstering test, WOW 👍👍👍 great job!! 🔥

[@spenmac]

Bolt on jobs that work out are always satisfying. And regarding what you record and such, yes the content is part of it but its you the person most of us like to watch and listen to.

[@alainlavoie2795]

Exactly! Well said!

[@mrstoives2444]

What a difference, given Gump a fresh look. Ps congrats on the increasing numbers on your second channel. Can’t wait for the next review!

[@jody024]

Second channel ? what am I missing?!

My names forester gump. But people call me... S-T-I (read it in clint eastwood voice)

[@GTti72]

"I need a bigger shop". I knew this statement would arrive, but I never expected it this soon!! LOL!!!!

[@GSErnie]

You have to be so patient to do this. Both the work itself and waiting for parts. Kudos.

[@SarahnTuned]

Yes, very patient indeed 😬

[@davidmahan4160]

Great detailing Sarah, I agree those little touches make to difference, I love your attention to detail, Gump is looking awesome. 😊👍

[@DavidVasquez-hs9bo]

The bolstering test is priceless and fun . ☺

[@atticstattic]

I'm more impressed with the upholstery work than the mechanical stuff!

[@IronmanV5]

Videos like this are why we love you

[@paulechols]

Looks amazing🤠🤠🤠 touchless is a huge timesaver!!!

[@timglass6041]

Hi Sarah, I love your attention to cleanliness and detail. You should be proud of your OCD, it has made you a KZbin Star. All of your vehicles are immaculate and well maintained.

[@jimgermain6622]

Holy upholstery cleaning tracks on that rear seat upright!! That was impressive! Gump is looking great!

[@brianb7844]

Interior looks great. Awesome job!!!

[@anthonywagner3273]

Sarah, absolutely love love love what you've done to Gump so far. Definitely what Japan should have given the US market. You're doing a great job on ALL of your projects. And don't beat yourself up trying to please anybody. All real car people knows there is a lot of jobs on project cars that is not fun and boring but essential to a build. Again you're doing a great job.

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

I did not realize you plan to 6 speed the Gump! that is awesome!!

[@froilanalcasabas1073]

I have my Forester for months, only this time I realized back seat is reclinable! Thanks a lot! 😊😊😊

[@tomswindler64]

Your commitment is by far one of best on utube you are one smart woman,just don’t ever despair on what you do,keep doing what your doing in life 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@mikemorin6078]

There is nothing you can't accomplish! I'm in awe- from complete rewiring to breaking down seats to reskin them. Keep it up.

[@philipmcmurtry4629]

Great to see that the folding and reclining rear seats still worked when you swapped the foam and covers. Proves that hard work and dedication gets results. Thank you Sarah for doing these experimental swaps.

[@barrylinkiewich9688]

11:50 that eye roll lmao You're doing a fantastic job with this transformation, those seats look incredible in there.

[@charger19691]

I appreciate your excellent attention to detail. You do outstanding work!

[@AceGreene]

“I bought some trim” with a smirk. Nice!

[@danielmattiello1507]

Detail is unmeasurable. There is not anything you do to your cars that isn't stupid clean. Great work girl, as always.

[@eskieman3948]

Sarah, thank you for the bolstering test at 11:52! Seriously - outstanding job on this Forester (Subaru, are you watching?). Carry on!

[@dougjustdoug6391]

One of the best tool investments you can make is a quality pair of hogring pliers, otherwise you'll get carpal tunnel in your wrists after one reupolstering job

[@HappyCarReviews]

I love your patience and dedication. You certainly love what you do. RESPECT!

[@christowles559]

Of course we want to see the bolstering test! Lol Seriously impressive work! Subscribing!!

[@kalnieminen65]

I actually feel happy when you do something that makes you happy. You really are a gifted car geek.

[@philipmcmurtry4629]

I’d forgotten how much I hated hog rings until I watched this!! My apprenticeship in a Ford workshop in the UK 25 + years ago involved daily replacing seat foam and trims on MK6 Escorts. We used to open the old rings rather than cutting them. We also discovered that very small cable ties (called zip ties in the USA I think) worked just as well and were much easier to fit.

[@a.dison92]

I love how thorough you are.

[@dxg999]

Sarah's excitement levels = 11/10!

[@nicklutz61]

Another classic Sarah video; amazing production quality, great technical content, and super attention to detail. Make sure to thumbs up and smash that subscribe button!

[@garymucher9590]

Bravo Sarah, Bravo. Not many people know just how hard it is to work with seat coverings. Not easy by any explanation. But you seemed to have pulled that off flawlessly. Thumbs Up!

[@richrigney4610]

The seats and badges look awesome.

[@markelder1542]

I love your attention to detail. These are cool embellishments. The Gump interior looks amazing. 😁 👌

[@adamthirdbourne324]

What can't this girl do!? Sarah-n-Tuned big ups!! I enjoy all your content.

[@bizzle6874]

Sarah like always, you amaze me me with your ingenuity, skill and intelligence. Really well done. Kuddos

[@michaelwilliams9658]

WOW!! That looks great!!! Well done, young lady.

[@scottbutler2343]

Such a minor detail but the piano black definitely upped the game and are perfect with those RECARO seats. Gotta appreciate the Lego strategy for car parts.

[@jortiz8510]

You are bad ass girl, much respect and admiration for your dedication to hard work and your love for your cars

[@erogers7053]

I could see you restoring old/rare cars. The way you are so meticulous and thorough with your work. Keep up the awesome work!

[@SarahnTuned]

I’d love to do a RA28 Celica

[@erogers7053]

@@SarahnTuned Great choice!

[@chrisgillingham2963]

Little tip when removing badging, use either a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the glue. The badges come off a lot easier and you will not damage them if you ever want to reuse them. Love your videos, keep up the great work. You crack me up.

[@jimcabezola3051]

I enjoy your videos; nothing's "half-arsed" about them. I hope YOU enjoyed the fruits of your labours with many hours of road tripping your Forester Gump.

[@572camaroguy]

Love the interior upgrades and thank you for the impromptu bolster wiggle :)

[@Kodiak660]

SARAH!!!!! (Looks great!)

[@garyworokevich2976]

Interior looks great, and the attention to the exterior badges. Looking forward to the fender flares.

[@mikecronis]

"Measure once, cut twice." Amusing.

[@JMacGyver1]

Great video. As a former owner of a 2003 WRX wagon (5 speed), I’m really digging on the Forester STI you’ve created. Subaru should have been making them this way from the point they dropped the WRX wagon, imho.

[@ianelliott229]

I’m in endless awe of your engineering competence, attention to detail and determination. 🤩

[@eefneleman9564]

Timidly: "Hope you enjoyed this..." Well, DUH!!! This is turning out absolutely beautiful... Your dedication and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. It's very satisfying to watch. Did you find a 6 speed yet?

[@Torsee]

Love that you take your shoes off to avoid another round of cleaning!

[@randysparanormalinvestigat9657]

The interior makes the whole car kick. Not a Subaru fan, but what you've done with the inside this far is great. be sticking around to see the complete finish inside and out.

[@Beer20001]

Awesome video Sarah! Nice Subaru forester sti update...the car looks better aesthetically already...all the best with the rest of the build!

[@redporschekilla]

Ok Sarah… we’ve to talk! Saturday I ran my usual maintenance on my commuter, oil change, air filter, the works…. I’m finished, look at my engine compartment and, and , and START CLEANING IT WITH A TOOTHBRUSH. After a while I stop, thank Sarah for putting that crap in my mind and continue….. so a 20 mins affair turned in to a 2 hour project. But w/o honking my own horn, my ATS engine is clean! 😁 you see? That happens…

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

Honestly - I think you should do PURE detailing videos as well. You have a gift (obsession). 😃

[@rayschoch5882]

It really looks great! I'm a fan of piano black… I admire your perseverence…

[@rhllnm]

I was wondering what PNO black was! LOL

[@ronaldsteiger7562]

I enjoy your videos but I must say I am impressed with all your knowledge and talents !!

[@branislavmarcincak7490]

Sarah is obviously able to break down a car into atoms... Great Job! Greetings from Czechoslovakia! (Slovak in Czech)...

[@Robert-cd2ht]

Congrats on a pro quality job. The interior is outstanding. I have been discussing remote video editing with a tech guru, no hard drive handoff required still it's a dedicated job.

[@jpiazzola]

Another fun one! I like the ones where you're working on cars. I think having your seperate channel for car reviews is a splendid idea. Thanks again for all your hard work producing top notch videos.

[@getlosttoday4045]

The things this woman takes on is amazing 👏 Great job Sarah!

[@hvysshvy7513]

Super great mods! The interior upgrades look awesome

[@troyfankell6581]

Gump looks great with all the TS trim! I'm hoping when I do the GG WRX wagon rear seat in my GF Impreza it will be the same as your Fozzie. Transfering to the old hinged base by cutting hog rings and re-gluing the foam.

[@axelbart7470]

Great job Sarah, very cool up grade on the interior 👍 👏👏

[@rickbdatsun]

Damn! Forester looks great!! Always impressed with the work you do!

[@ronaldmallette]

I bought some trim once....I was 18, it was the 80's....I was stationed in W. Germany and it was legal......OK that was a lot to share. If I have my druthers I'll choose the small butt plug option for the initial experience 😜.

[@daveh9415]

Another pure awesome video, thank you Sarah. The new interior looks class, wish it was mine now :)

[@aroundomaha]

The interior looks awesome and I’m enjoying the gump series. Also looking forward to more MR2.

[@w077714]

Love the bolstering 😍

[@moletrap2640]

Had a 2005 WRX STi, one of my favorites. First rate handling and power. Fun in the curves. Yanked off the rear wing first thing and it became a sleeper.

[@NovaResource]

Fantastic job. That really looks amazing. One tip for the future, when removing emblems, use fishing line to cut the tape instead of prying the emblem. Then use a 3M Stripe Off Wheel (part number 07498) to remove the remaining tape/glue. It works so well and is great from removing tape pinstripes. You can get the 3M wheel from Amazon for about $35.

[@Andrew4181975]

Using waxed dental floss works even better, or even an old credit card slipped behind it. I collect car badges at the Junkyard sometimes.

[@craig2100]

Love the way the Forrester is turning out. Now thinking of doing mods on mine. Sweet!

[@ninongsoseph]

I'm so in love with your forester right now!😍😍😍!Well done Sarah!

Gump is looking sweet! Don't stress about content quality - just film what makes you happy. I, personally, love the vlogs & 'cars & coffee' & event type content, but that seems few & far between. I'll take work, reviews, road trips, nerding-out-garage-science Sarah... whatever. Cheers.

[@euclidallglorytotheloglady5500]

Sarah... Your Forester is the bee's knees!!! Awesome work!

[@oldblueshhrchannel1847]

Oh! Yea, loved your Reggie Hammond ( 1982, Eddie Murphy character in 48 hrs) reference! You did grin when you said it, correct me if I’m wrong! The interior work looks awesome and you didn’t lose the rear seat reclining feature! and thank you for the bolster test, very scientific method, but wait till you swap out the transmission until you “give it the beans”

[@texlittle1314]

Oooohhhh yeah!! Nothing like OEM parts for the win! The STi trim for the dash definitely completes the package! 👍🏻👏🏻 Those Recaros!!! 🤤 The Gump is all pimped out! 😎🎉 Can’t wait to see the rest of the trim!! 👏🏻

[@abpsd73]

That interior looks awesome. I'm looking forward to when you start the Ranger. With your persistence, you'll probably manage to find parts and fasteners that are long obsolete that most average Ford guys can't find.
