The HUGE Transformation of my Rusted R32 GT-R Restoration

[@bhcamaro2002]

Kalvin is alive!

[@americotepedinothijzen9231]

Yes finally 🎉

[@LilRebell57]

It’s so good to hear you say things like “I’m so proud of the work” because you should be. This is incredible. And you’re doing it for you which means you should be damn proud of the outcome. I can’t wait to see the finished product.. I also can’t wait for the S13 to make a comeback.. it’s been too long.

[@Leandro3065PT]

once this thing is all in one color, ready to be assembled, you need to record more of the build progress (egine, suspension...), like old Kal would, i'll be here ready for it!

[@KalvinMalli]

[@Razor6On3]

​@@KalvinMallibro the car looks fantastic....

[@jasonevans8427]

I remember seeing one of your first vids on the 32, it was heartbreaking watching you discover how bad the rust was, and how bad you were scammed. After seeing this current vid, I can see you've put your heart and soul into restoring it and properly restoring too. Most people would have scrapped it and sunk into depression experiencing just half of what you copped on this deal. But now I can see it's going to be a sick 32, nice work man.

[@andydhillon1977]

Well-said!

[@KalvinMalli]

It’s been a long road, but it’s definitely been worth it!

[@alebaca8260]

Do y’all realize how much work this man has put in, I can’t even fathom how much work u put in with some of those divots and sheet metal bumps/lines. My mind just can’t..

[@sadis91]

This is build is the definition of OEM Plus. Keep it up man!

[@andydhillon1977]

Exactly! My favorite kind of builds!

[@anton.unseen]

HE'S BACK! Kalvin-San has uploaded again, the best early Christmas gift we could possibly get. Glad to see you got out and took some time away from the shop and just enjoying the Z and life. You seem much happier 🤟🏻

[@DripSticky]

Its so crazy to think ive been watching this channel and your progress and growth since before I could even drive bro. Im 23 now married with a kid, so happy to see you on the up and making your moves man. Couldnt be happier for you Kalvin!

[@KalvinMalli]

That's awesome man! Glad you've been with me on the journey.

[@alebaca8260]

Back at the end of the video, my respect to you brother. The dedication and the discipline. Beautiful.

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks for the kind words man.

[@RatchetMonkey]

Turning an L into a W. Been here from the start and I just can't comprehend the amount of graft gone into this, it's unbelievable. Well done Kalvin, we are all proud to see your creation and determination. All the best.

[@Kriicz]

At this point you're building your own r32 from scratch like from the factory, insane how much work you're putting in this build, you will be proud like a dad when you will look at her everyday, keep it up!

[@KalvinMalli]

It's been a long journey. I'll be proud of her for sure.

[@brianbradley9622]

The car is looking so good compared to when you first started. This has been one of my favorite builds on KZbin.

[@mclarenscca]

Man, it's absolutely incredible on how far along this car come along! I remember watching the video of when you recieved it, and to see where it is now is unbelievable! Amazing work!

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate the love, man! Glad you've been following along.

[@mr.cangieter8758]

Kalvin Malli for president 💪🏾 You're like the US version of the Built by legends R32 restorer.

[@KalvinMalli]

Just trying to help save these cars 🙏🏽

[@yunusbiter]

Garage Yoshida style rebuild! Well done. Paying the car the respect it deserves.

[@Mexirican16]

Im absolutely proud of the ASTOUNDING work you have done. Youre going to break the internet with this build🔥🔥🔥

[@KalvinMalli]

🤝🏽

[@alex-gx6bs]

DO NOT stress it brotha we will all be here to watch when you upload!!

[@franzlo1]

Kalvin I hope I don't have to wait another 6mts for an update 😂 Your build is on another level not even Nissan can touch your build not even with a pole.......keep up the great work!🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate the support, I'm trying to get back on track. 🙏🏽

[@rickarda9232]

Proved me wrong. I told him to part it and swallow the loss when he first got it. Well done 👌👍💯

[@andydhillon1977]

Few people on this planet can take on such a huge project!

[@Sergio509_]

Was just thinking about you yesterday!!! Happy to see you! 🇭🇹

[@KalvinMalli]

Glad to be back at it! 🤘🏽

[@frodobaggins7252]

It's awesome to hear you selling the quality of work you are doing. It's awesome to see you not cut corners in any way to make the best product possible. That kind of commitment will sell people on choosing you to do work on their cars over someone else. My hope for you is that you get enough business that you can hire a few people to help do the quality of work you do, but in a timeframe more agreeable to customers. If anyone had any doubts, this video should have cleared those doubts. No shortcuts or compromises and an end result (to this point) that speaks for itself. These results are visibly better than factory. The rust repairs are to factory spec or better and that's more than most people expect to begin with. I expected you'd do decent work, but I never expected this level of work. It's clear that at some point you said to yourself that you weren't going to cut corners because you have gone back and cut out sections you had completed and redid them. That's impressive. At this point, you rank among the very best in the R32 restoration field. I don't think anyone can argue with that statement. Keep up the amazing work, dude.

[@Sauce_Wickk]

Glad to see you’re doing well 💪🏾

[@PapaFreedom]

got to see this baby up close and inspected every corner at gtr festival. its truly impressive how far you have come and the quality of your craftsmanship. inspiring stuff GG

[@KalvinMalli]

Glad you got to see it up close! Thanks for the support.

[@martinblanco7899]

This is proof on what type of work you can do! I seen when you got this car! Now it’s going to be a beautiful car!

[@chino1685]

Glad to see you bring us a good video update on the R32!

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks for watching!

[@vlrb25det11]

Looks amazing man! You have done a mint job! Must be a good feeling to have the car in primer!

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks! The hard work is starting to pay off.

[@CallMeReyals]

Bro.... I saw this at GTR fest and even thought to myself "I wonder how Kalvin is doing on his GTR"... not knowing that was actually you there. Great to see you're back in action!

[@jacksonsmith8251]

j in love hearing the absolutely excitement in Kelvin’s voice when he goes through everything

[@dericzita4310]

The GTR is Looking phenomenal! Great Job 👏🏻

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate it! 💯

[@leoncarlier]

Take your time and keep the quality at "show spec" bro. It is truly inspirational. You and Prizza Mike have done the impossible with your builds.

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks, man. Quality is the name of the game 😎

[@theblackbird3723]

Not a question, just a comment. I have been watching since the beginning. Take your time to keep putting the care you do into it. It's something to be very proud of, because of the great work you do. Trust your process. Don't lower your standards just to get things done. Keep doing it to the best of your ability. Just remember this quote from an obscure 90's movie called "Empire Records" -"For some people it doesn't make a difference, but for me, it's the difference that makes it" Looking forward to seeing it progress again.

[@TeunS133N]

It's so nice that it looks like it is a 3d model on the video lol, congrats on the progress

[@Mikelectric]

youve finished the shell, you took it to the show, thats epic well done. cant wait to see the rest of the build

[@LikeZO]

Bro, you motivate me, man. Thank you for what you do and the value you provide to the community.

[@ValuableTrouble]

Been loving watching the journey of this build. So proud of you bro keep pushing you’re killing it! 🔥🔥🔥

[@bonezbonez992]

Rust to a minimum! Well done man !

[@_XXVII]

What a journey, I have literally built my entire 32 and 25neo in the time you've been restoring this masterpiece

[@sheamus9632]

Congratulations Kalvin! What an achievement, you’re on the home stretch now, all your hard work has paid off, now the enjoyment of assembly and paint begins 🤙🏻

[@TomBudin]

congratulations brother incredible work been watching since before this and your work is excellent

[@karolina326]

Dude, you are continually an insiration for not settling. When I swapped my s12 to an sr20det I was tempted to go halfway. But your detail drove me to get it into show quality shape. In fact, I watched your s12 video so long ago to help me with the engine pull. Lots of growing up. I would absolutely love to chat with you sometime

[@motojumble9385]

It's a shame we aren't in the same country, would be sending stuff your way all week ... great work with the R32. Looks absolutely bang on.

[@brentdecarteret2343]

Looks amazing, I've been watching from the start. Congrats on the milestone.

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks for following along! Appreciate the support!

[@joerodriguez4497]

LETS GO!!!!!! Awesome work man!

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate it! We're getting there! 😎

[@tonosonogono]

Dude! Glad to see you! it's coming along :) This is panning out to be the most solid R32 on the planet ! You can be proud man.

[@joevergnetti767]

He’s back baby!!!

[@WISE_]

Amazing Work Kalvin!

[@elementmaniac]

Welcome back bro! Really happy! You inspired me to fix some rust on my AE82 And I never thought I’d ever be drilling spotwelds on any of my cars 😂 did some crappy things in the past too! What thickness sheet metal should I use? Heard Toyotas of this era are like 0.6mm 🤔 Your car looks amazing! Been here since you rebuilt the rear parcel shelf area on the floor!

[@cameronludwig5285]

HAPPY TO SEE U BACK BUD! GLAD ALL IS GOING WELL! CAR IS LOOKING AMAZING!

[@KalvinMalli]

Glad to be back at it. Let’s get this car done.

[@desertman123]

glad youre seeing this through to the end. there is a light at the end of the tunnel! the first test drive will be absolutely surreal I bought a Honda Beat that was rusty and had a blown motor. spent over 2 years getting the rust replaced with clean metal and getting the engine, transmission, cluster, everything overhauled. was 100% worth it. believe me I know the pain. but youve done a WAY better job than I did

[@jayrooks7083]

Yo Kal I’ve been watching since u first painted the 240. I’m glad to see you’re still at it and really just worrying about ur self and your own happiness. Ur still the most underrated dude on yt. I wish u the best and please keep it up. Your patience will repay you soon trust me.

[@wheelsofsteel]

Dang son! Welcome back.

[@alvinphillip7530]

I will say it first.....this right here ladies and gents is Garage Yoshida level......and I will add this......this is higher level due to it being done by one person. I can't wait to see this GTR finished. Keep up the massive good work Kalvin 💪🏾🙌🏾

[@Wolf-or6ws]

This is very close , but what Garage yoshida can offer as well is complete electroplating primer like when they dip the car in a primer bath, iv only seen Garage yoshida and Nismo offer this service.

[@CR3j35_90kid]

Dude I'm sooooooooooooo proud of you. And to see how far you have come in the past 8 or however many years I've been watching you. Lol its been awww inspiring to see the growth in you, the struggle. The realness of it all, it's just been wow. Can't put it in words. All I can say man is I'm proud of you dude. Keep grinding and keep up the great work. We need more people like you in the industry who actually care and someone who is all about the detail, and also humble. That's so hard to find. I can't wait to see the gtr first fire up man. Wish I could be there. Who knows might have a project for you in the future. Definitely want to get back in the seen. We will see lol. Stay blessed king. 🙌🏽 💯💯

[@bashofman3044]

He's back!! And you can be more than proud of what you've accomplished so far! Absolutely a legend in the making.🔥

[@IED32_GTR]

🔥🔥🔥so amazing to see in person and get to meet you. Goals for my GTR in the future

[@KalvinMalli]

👊🏽👊🏽

[@aurimasmaldzius5345]

You deserve nothing but the best Kalvin, well done.

[@clarenceperkins3115]

Good to see you back and in good spirits! Hate I missed you at GTR festival

[@Shonfromiowa]

I knew you would do it! Can’t wait to see the full rebuild recap when it’s all done. you the MAN!

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks, I appreciate the support!

[@daenielgb]

One day, the spotlight will shine solely on you and this gtr you brought back to life from the dead, a piece of your soul embedded in every detail, with every eye captivated by your masterpiece. That day will be one to live for. Absolutely phenomenal job so far Kalvin.

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks, I appreciate the love man. I’m excited to see how it all comes together. 🙏

[@jerrellrice3413]

Rust is actually "to a minimal!" 😄👏🏾💪🏾👌🏽

[@Supra_Kewl]

[@nath84xx]

[@dusterpl6093]

[@Nowaypoway]

Wow, I haven’t been on KZbin in a minute and this beauty of a vlog pops up first! So here we are!

[@steknight1544]

Good to see you back bro been following through instagram the transformation is unbelievable. Should be proud of yourself

[@_Machine631_]

so awesome to see you back and doing well. car looks great and I agree, quality takes time. i'd love to drop my supra off up there, if i still lived in NY.

[@TriniRogue]

Brother the dream is real, rust is actually to a minimum ( non existent ) thats a solid job bro honestly impressive.

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks for noticing! Spent a lot of time getting it just right.

[@VaderLand3]

Anytime I see a video pop up it’s of u coming back, never staying lol

[@justskidding5230]

The progress on the car is insane and I’m glad throtl put you in their video at GTR Fest! My only question is how are you man? Honestly. I know things are hard, just making sure you’re in a good head space. Much love my man 🫶🏽

[@JrRankingMusic]

Bro, great job on the car. Looking real nice. Can’t wait for the next stage of it. It’s gonna be one mint car.

[@rickqueen65]

Glad your back at it. She's looking amazing.

[@UP4U]

Awesome to have seen it come this far. Not sure if you mentioned the use of cavity wax but please make sure you treat every cavity!!

[@AmishSLV]

So epic to see your 32 in this condition, looking forward to seeing how it comes together and watching you rip this beauty

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate the kind words! I'm super excited about how the car is turning out.

[@lesliegrace8360]

13:45 Fight Fight Fight Fight Fight 💪😆 * That subtle insert there haha

[@michaelszutu253]

Nice to see a video update! Work is on par as Garage Yoshida. Apparently Yoshida adds more spot wields in addition to the oem wields

[@KalvinMalli]

Yes I do the same! About 3x more spot welds along the roof seams. And quarter panels. Along with stitch welding front chassis rails.

[@reidonz5848]

I see a kalvin vid pop up, i hit the like button then start watchn! 😆

[@DFATENOVA]

Missed you my dude was thinking about you the other day hope all is well and nothing but greatness for the future you got this bro 😎

[@KalvinMalli]

Love the positivity man. Trying to make it happen!

[@DFATENOVA]

@ you’ll get there mate your doing great

[@daniel_peixoto]

So great to see you again. OMG we were waiting months for an update. Huge greetings from Zurich, Switzerland!

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate the love from Switzerland! Glad to be back at it.

[@supersayianjim2]

kalvin i was just thinking about you the other day! snow storm up there stay safe my man.

[@aestheticstorm]

You sound in much better spirits. Love to see it!

[@MartinSanchez-sk6zo]

so glad to see you post again, all the loyals couldnt click fast enough! lol

[@addm1119]

Unbelievable man, the effort you put in is inspiring. love watching from Ireland

[@GiannisZax]

Man, it finally starts looking like a car again... I can't wait to see it coming back together. I'm sure when the time comes for the 240sx to be restored, it will be done with the same level of attention to detail.

[@KalvinMalli]

That's the plan!

[@dohmarau]

Car is looking good, now the fun part begins :) you'll be finding stuff you want to put in that you'll wanna restore/restomod

[@KalvinMalli]

You got that right!

[@dohmarau]

@@KalvinMalli If your seats are looking crappy, the nismo seat covers are great. I've done other stuff, like replacing the highz injectors with lowz injectors (some guys in Florida I know can hook u up), replaced the old ignitor and coilpacks with an R35 gtr coilpack conversion, about $20k worth of engine, turbos exhaust etc. Can recommend the HKS Super Turbo exhaust if u want something tuned and quiet or the Tomei Expreme TI if you want it LOUD. HKS GTIII-SS turbos/Garrett 2859-9's will get u a nice responsive twin setup. I'm running E85 flex tune on Nistune too. Are you missing any parts?

[@VS98111]

Yooo great work man! Looking forward to seeing the next chapter in the journey

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate the love! Stay tuned for more progress.

[@murkosneakz]

Its been a while since ive sat through a video start to end but your updates on the gtr is worth the watch. glad to see everything working out. I cant wait to see whats next! Keep it up man.

[@potatospeed8694]

Good job man. This will be epic when it's all said and done!

[@Alex-vz2jz]

Gonna be real, I've been staying away from you updates on IG because I didn't want any spoilers on the progress lol But I couldn't help it after you being gone from Yt for so long i took a peak and have been loving how far the build has come. Everyday we've been waiting for your return on KZbin man. Keep it up 👍

[@KalvinMalli]

Appreciate the support man. Glad you're enjoying the progress! 😎

[@jackgray1402]

I have literally been waiting on a video from you! I am so glad to finally hear from you. The GTR is looking so dang good! Now you get to begin the reassembly and I am so happy for you. :)
