This is going to be so cheesy, but I just wanted to take the time to thank you for sharing your life again with us. I can only imagine how exhausting your line of work is. I work a 9 to 5 office job and when things go wrong or mistakes are made theres protocol here to where we can get things back to normal and continue with our day. For you a "problem" at work isn't as easy as sending out an email to have someone else resolve everything and go on about your day, and the fact that youve done this for YEARS, take a break and come back fully swinging with (from what I see) is a good attitude is outstanding. I want to thank you for making life a brighter place. Keep on keepin on
Life will throw you in the gutter and make you ask “ why me “ but there’s good coming your way birdie. You got this and the frs will make a come back from this.
Yo BIRDY! i just finish watching this.. I literally don’t have any idea that this thing happen to you.. was cluelessly talking to you last night 🤦🏻 Now you got more up coming projects
That 86 is a masterpiece... I was a fan of the build since the reverse panda days but would you ever consider doing a GR86 build in the future? just curious to know.
DIY would be a hard to watch, fun to see you struggle bit haha (jk jk all love) but also carbon fiber trunk & roof/or wrapping replacements would be so sick too
Hey Birdy! I always say only so many bad things can happen in a year, once you get all of the BS out of the way, there’s only room for good things! Step back and take a look at the situation with a fresh pair of eyes. A carbon fiber roof wouldn’t be a bad thing! Plus it comes with a story. You know I live in Las Vegas so I can’t say I’ll ever have to deal with a situation like this, or even be able to relate to how stressful it is, but we always bounce back 💪🏽😁
Better to replace the panels where possible. PDR will cost a lot, there's a reason why insurance will write this sort of thing off. A few friends had their cars messed up and their house siding mangled too.
I would say do a total make over to the frs. Carbon roof and new trunk. Maybe new color also. Since you mention that you about to do a total make over anyways to it. Just look at the bright side. Frs gonno go for another transformation. And dont lose hope. God will not gave us problems we cant overcome. Stay positive and keep moving forward.
So sorry your cars went through that awful hail. On the bright side, they didn't go through a flood or sit under a fallen tree! My vote is carbon roof over PDR. I've watched your FRS constantly evolve over the years and I feel like it's time for a new phase if you're willing. Maybe even do a little refresh with new hardware, seals, trim, etc. Maybe wrap it white and black like that render you posted a while back.
It's an upcoming anime expo and that seems interesting for us to know on what you would do when you meet her again there on the expo because you both share the same hobby and passion
Calgary hot hit hard, WOW!! that's a lot of damage city wide. I recently got a dimple on my hood and it annoys the heck out of me. I hope you can reduce/fix the effects of that damage.
I got caught in the unfortunate shitstorm too, my Stagea's alternator failed driving through downtown, got it towed to a shop in NE. Monday rolls around, I'm nowhere near, then boom hailed on. double whammy, shitty times but it is what it is
Thats the worse!! When you know you could have avoided it but you didnt. And in Australia hail damaged cars are usually write offs. I had an and it was a write off
It looks like a disaster, but always try to see it positively. I would go for carbon parts if there is no other way. It is never a mistake, always a learning experience.
Heads up, you really don't want to run a 3D printer in your home... You always want to run a 3D printer in a garage or shed or in a place with GOOD ventilation, because they put off VOC's in the air. Credentials- an industrial design collage grad and materials scientist. ( But make sure to always keep an eye on them, things that get hot and go brrrr should be monitored)
Not gonna lie, nobody thinks the hail storms are going to be that bad until it is that bad. That really sucks. :( Replacing the trunks and hoods aren't too bad but the roof is another story. Hopefully insurance can do something for you if it's cost effective or too damaged to fix? Or if anything, sometimes you get more than enough $ from insurance for repairs to where you can spend that money in cost saving ways, get new parts, go thru trusted friends and have money left over to save or spend elsewhere. Just a though. Despite this feeling like another problem to deal with, just remember, a year from now this isn't going to even come across your mind. Just a bump in the road to get past. Things will get better!
Pay your friend (support his business) film it ( advertise his business, as well as supporting your vlog) learn whilst he is doing it and everyone wins including the viewers.
Honestly go with option 2 an exchange the parts for carbonfiber. But before you take anything off the car make sure the parts are there and you do your research on how to do it. I do suggest watching Adam LZ or Jimmy Oakes as im sure one of those two did carbon swaps on their cars. It will at least give you some insight.
Dont do the PDR yourself. I understand the thought behind it, but dont.. its a show car and you will pay a profesional after you try yourself anyway. If you wanna go nuts, maybe carbon roof?
PDR ain't gonna cost you couple hundreds..More like in the couple thousands. Cost my 2022 GMC canyon $9300 to get it fixed and it was in better shape than both your cars :(

This is why you NEVER leave your car outside x.x
Idk why people dont use the garage to store car more often or alway.

Life will throw you in the gutter and make you ask “ why me “ but there’s good coming your way birdie. You got this and the frs will make a come back from this.

That’s why I moved away from Calgary!
The hail is unbelievable in that city!

Time for a CF roof and trunk Birdy! If it’s at least cost effective. Stay strong 💪

Just by seeing those dents, my soul just went to heaven for a sec and back.
Sorry this happen but when you were talking about the damage on the roof, all I can think of is the scene from “next Friday” “look at my roof”
Time for carbon roof and trunk! Side note, I’m glad you are ok and uploading to this channel!!
Dang Birdy that's rough to see man! But I totally agree with carbon fiber 😅, send ittt! It would be sick!
Love the cars. I would go with option B
Damn, garage bro😁
The thing that sucks about hail in general well the damage sucks but the insurance companies that deal with the hail damage and getting it fixed
does anyone know the song in the intro ?
Ah man, I'm sorry to see this
If anything you could always diy some bondo and re wrap the roof and just get a carbon trunk or bondo it as well sorry this happened to you man
Thats the worse!! When you know you could have avoided it but you didnt. And in Australia hail damaged cars are usually write offs. I had an and it was a write off
Was out there over the longweekend, left like 30-40min before the hail. FRS V2 (2022)?
Would love to see how you would manage to fix ALL those little dents!
It looks like a disaster, but always try to see it positively. I would go for carbon parts if there is no other way. It is never a mistake, always a learning experience.
The subi is in his teenager years, that’s why the pimples 😂

Maybe you can design some kind of padded car cover that you can sell to people in your area. 😬

Guess its time for carbon roofs

Could just tell people it was a design choice. "Helps with aerodynamics."
Omg im more shocked by the gazebo
If I got a mass text alert I'd find cover FAST geee birdy 😢😝🤔

Dang 😮 sorry you should've put it in the garage 🤦♂️
Upgrade to carbon fiber roof for the frs

I would try to fix the roof and just replace the trunk
Dont do the PDR yourself. I understand the thought behind it, but dont.. its a show car and you will pay a profesional after you try yourself anyway. If you wanna go nuts, maybe carbon roof?
Thank you insurance for the new carbon roof
Insurance will help but Carbon Fiber is Nice😁
OH NOOO YOU GOT HIT TOO
PDR ain't gonna cost you couple hundreds..More like in the couple thousands. Cost my 2022 GMC canyon $9300 to get it fixed and it was in better shape than both your cars :(
