    Because you always seem concerned about showing work that other RUclips channels wouldn't, you should know that's what some of us appreciate about your channel. You show the real (and often tedious) work that goes into a project. Hope you never change that about your videos!

    Thanks for not glossing over the little things. So many restoration channels just show the money shots, and not all the grunts, the sweating, and the cursing that is required to get to completion. It’s not pretty or sexy but you still show it and make it look good. Keep it up and get those 600k subscribers.

    I'm consistently amazed at how multi-skilled you are. Most restoration channels have a few things they can do, usually getting the mechanicals working. "Look!" they say, "It's completely fixed now!" and then they drive away in something that still looks like a complete crapwagon. You can do it all and, yes, please continue showing yourself doing all the things. That's what I'm here for.

The Millenia was Mazda’s luxury car at the time and had a very “European” flavor to it. As always, thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

    Dear Sarah.
    👍👌👏 Yeah, you are absolutely right. The smiling bumpers look sooo much better. 2) Especially because the Kaiser is fairly complete, it should definitely be saved. 3) The Mercedes with the removable hardtop is even a cabriolet! Such a W 107 R is worth a small fortune in Germany and would never ever be scrapped. Such a car would be the perfect summer vehicle for you, Sarah. 4) I like this video a lot. Especially because it is varied. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
    Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

  • @martymiller4300
    @martymiller4300 7 месяцев назад +12

    Hi Sarah; That 2.3 supercharged Millenia you stumbled upon was a Milenia ‘S’. Supercharged because it was a Miller Cycle engine, some craziness that altered valve timing to use the positive manifold pressure to fill the cylinder faster. The regular Millenia was a 2.5 which was already complicated enough. The fact that the ‘upgrade’ model had a smaller displacement engine was a sure sign that bad judgment had been employed. We did valve covers on an ‘S’ and the tech scrambled a few of the myriad of vacuum lines. Took four or five returns to get the ‘check engine’ light out meanwhile the dealership wouldn’t even touch it. The cars developed such a reputation for irrepairibility that no Mazda specialty shop from Sacramento to Fresno would do more than an oil change. Wash your hands after touching the VIN plate on that malevolent serpent. BTW you look better and sexier in sneakers and blown out jeans in a Pick N Pull than all the Swifties in the Mall. Just sayin’

    The bumperettes were a intermediate step. The government was enacting the impact standards but was giving the manufacturers grace time to restyle before the full-on bumpers became mandatory.

    Sarah a suggestion, when and if you get or find your angle grinder wrench just use and cable tie to attach it to the cord near the plug. This is so you can't lose it anymore and it will remind you to unplug it while changing disks so you don't accidentally get hurt. Great content

Of course that turns into going down the rabbit hole for a bunch of other modifications. Lol. I am loving the Celica project and truly love seeing you show a lot of the little things that go into restoring it the proper way.
