    I don't think you need a separate channel for vlog stuff. I like how you mix up from time to time.

      You barely have time for a single channel, so I'm not sure where you'd find the time for two! I for one, have no problem with you mixing things up. (Love the Def Leppard shirt, best band ever!)

    Sarah, In my own perfect opinion, I enjoy the way you Vlog and Blog in the same video.
    You have such wonderful witty humor and I do not mind the time lapse when you are wrenching a bolt.
    You work so hard now, I vote to keep Sarah -n- Tuned and have a vlog episode or just go vloggy in the bloggy.

    • @69fcortina

    You ever think how crazy Sarah has come considering she’s basically done everything by herself? I mean all the other channels have friends, mechanics and shops that are there everyday to help and Sarah has just been grinding and actually killing the game.

    Aluminium for door cards. Don’t add flammable materials unless you have to.

    • @delukxy
      @delukxy 4 года назад +1

      Agreed. Look at the cards that the Binky channel have just fitted to their new budget race car. Very neat.

    • @Auracanal
      @Auracanal 4 года назад +1

      Automotive plastics have a flammability spec. meaning they burn really slow. However I agree on alu due to weight and additional space inside.

    • @patrickodonnell9891
      @patrickodonnell9891 4 года назад

      Local round d round guys use the painted alloy panels. Comes in 4'x10' sheets? Two sides painted, like red/white or black and ? Very reasonably priced. Rally cars are great, street legal, safe, yet you can race them!

  • @afterwit3620

    The guy that taught me to paint cars told me once that the first thing you do to paint a car is wash it, the second thing you do is wash it again. This way you make sure that you got 99.9% of the dirt off of it. The next thing is wax and grease remover. I followed his advice and never had any problems. Anything you put on this channel your fans are going to watch, we all just love you and the things you do no matter what it is.

    @TroyPosey 4 года назад +3

    What's up Garage Sarah! ✌🏻
    I stopped buying used cars for reasons like that... I can turn wrenches with the best of them, and used to do custom metal fab and offroad fabrication and welding, but the last used vehicle I got started falling apart within the first 2 days. That was the last time I was going to allow myself to get burned. Since then, it's been brand new with a warranty. UNLESS I decide on a specific project vehicle, then I already expect to spend countless hours and $$$ fixing other people's f***-ups and problems, and most times it's best to just start snatching things completely in pieces and start over with a full-rebuild of the entire vehicle, and mostly new/refreshed parts.

  • @troyd-motorsport9933
    @troyd-motorsport9933 4 года назад +1

    I just found your channel from someone mentioning it on a bad obsession motorsport comment. This is awesome!
    I race rally cars too, just go aluminium or carbon fibre sheets for the door. Don't worry about the back as its only in the door so you don't have sharp edges/hazards. Also use dry ice and strip out all the factory sound deadening. 👍👍👍 Looking forward to watching more.

    Use PP corrugated board (plastic board). it is a dual-layer plastic material that is very lightweight and is used for advertising signs. You can cut it with a razor knife, tape the edges and use pan-head screws or velcro to hold it in place. It is also called polyplast or flute-board, comes in a variety of colors, easy to find, cheap and is as thin as 2mm.

  • @Tetz95
    @Tetz95 4 года назад +21

    Having a second channel to differentiate your content types sounds like a good idea in principal but you have to worry about diluting your subscriber base for both channels. Then the algorithms will get you for losing subs on one channel and not having enough on the second. :(
    I do enjoy all of your content, though.

    Hey Sarah - metal work - cut,(shears) fold or bend (break) and bead roll (Rollers) for strength flat panels welding is a puddle to keep moving, I do enjoy your videos your a good mechanic and able to fix most things. Metal can be very sharp - Its a very long list of things you can get to setup a shop.... you might think about specifics or types of work you do to a car if its repair, modify etc. What you work you might do. Just my 2c or opinion - ah your fine do what is need for other videos (Time to edit ?). Good to hear you address the damage and safety concerns of driving the focus. I like ford blue for the focus.

  • @droppindeuces6981
    @droppindeuces6981 4 года назад

    Sarah, Love your videos, they really brighten my day! A few words of advice from a long time dirt rider... It looks like you may want to either loose or augment that K&N air filter (as evidenced by dirt on the filtered side of your air box). While a K&N allows more air flow and while they work fine for relativly clean air (on pavement), off road racers and dirt bike riders can tell you that type of guaze air filter alone, does not trap fine dust particles. They need a finer mesh pre-filter (often reffered to as a "sock"). I would sugest that you consider fabricating a two stage foam air filter, oiled to trap fine dust like in a dirt bike. OR, just run an OEM type paper filter. Either way, if you have run that K&N in the dirt for very long, you may want to do a compression check. Just a suggestion that could save you an engine rebuild. CHEERS!

    4:32 Sarah, it does have Fords version of vtec. Its VVT variable valve timing solenoid is under the spark plug cover. So it has variable valves and a variable intake.

    I don't know how you manage to release so much content, and well edited, on your own. Impressive working 🐝 you are.
    If your blogs will be even remotely car related I vote keep it in one channel.
    I think you're doing a great job I can only imagine the subs to go up, you are extremely likable and ...clean, great attitude and everything!
    Hope you get sponsored and all the tools you want, but I like the fact you work in a realistic "for mortals" environment and your projects been low budget like Sir Kosworth and Mr Dos... I could watch those all day.
