Truly chuffed for you Neil that the 86 after 7 years is near its completion and to have such a tight group of friends to trust and talk to these days with Barry, Jackie, Flip and Reuben it’s is hard to come by. And yes please have other projects ahead.
Im very lucky to have such a good group of mates, loads more misery and fun ahead! Ive got a few more builds Ive been keeping away from the channel until this is finished
I started watching when the AE86 first hit the scene in 1943, we've been through 6 recessions, 5 world wars and 35 popes but by jaysus here we are thriving!
Everyone talks about "OEM+", but this project is what it really means. I'm a "restore it to original" type of guy, but couldn't have more respect for this. Every bit was carefully crafted. I wish I could do this to my own car. Best regards, man, keep it up!
Hey man, in 2017 I was in my last year of high school. 7 years later I still haven't finished my engineering degree, but your AE86 looks mint. 7 years isn't so bad!
From one car enthusiast to another, even though im all the way in Australia... this hits home like nothing ever.... so proud of you bro.. Now after that nasty split from my ex, finally my life is back on track... my SW20 (original 1991 GT turbo) is sitting in my friends garage calling my name... the motor has finally been finished, assembled by a famous ex TRD group A mechanic... only every worked on 4A and 3S etc.... its time to absolutely smash out the dreams boys.... thank you Neil..... 2024 year of the resurrection of JDM legends!
Been watching this channel since first videos of restoration as an inspiring material for my own project car. Seven years passed, and I still don`t have a project car. But I`ve opened my own repair shop to earn some money and have place and tools for build. So my project is yet to come and Juicebox is still great inspiration for me. Cheers!
I can’t express how fucking clean the 86 looks, it’s unreal. Huge proprs to everyone who worked on it and to you for bringing us through the whole process, love you Neil ❤
No 80s grocery getter has any business having a paint job that good! I am absolutely made up that someone with such a passion for these cars gets to own and enjoy this complete masterpiece! Health to enjoy and looking forward to seeing it in person at a show somewhere!
Its been a long journey but one well worth the effort. I follow a lot of long builds and i have enjoyed the progress on this throughout. Hope the car treats you well in the future.
Honestly the amount of hard work and craftmanship gone into this little 86 is just so incredible. I feel proud to be so invested into this series and witness the transformation ♥️👊 Thank you Neil for letting us see this through your eyes.
It took me almost 5 years to almost finish my car, so 7 years on this is right on sched. Wish I could do it all over again. Love the car, and all the lads and the enthusiasm you all put into this. Got me feeling now that it's almost over
7 years of following, how that time has flown, so proud of you Neil, your father would be such a very proud man! grinning ear to ear from the heavens at the things you've accomplished a pure gentleman.
Watching her being put together after soo many years is beyond satisfying, awesome build , gives us all hope to someday restore our shitboxes .. the journey pain and suffering was very much worth it after seeing your baby completed. Very Happy for you ❤
All the hours of work each of you have dedicated to this car is incredible. Just a dream come true. Thanks for the vids that inspire me to go back to my project care with more enthusiasm. Ueo shout out was awesome!
Man, it’s been awhile. I’ve gone through college and i’m about to start a new chapter in my life again and go back into school. The car’s finally almost finished. Congratulations on the 86!
This is making me so happy and its not even my car but I'm constantly grinning from ear to ear watching the last couple of videos. Can't even begin to imagine how insane this must feel for you.
All that bird come to enjoy the journey 7years. What a great car brother. Absolutely wicked . Love to see you enjoy and having a good people surrounds you making a dream come true. There were really good at their job ❤ (not job but position and love about car)
This hits such a soft spot for me personally, first car here in Australia was a black eg6 sir. Had itbs, white te37 and bronze glass. Stupid me sold it to take ex Mrs on holidays. Neil this AE86 is a gem.
@@juiceboxforyou I most definitely did, built another one but red a good number of years later. Unfortunately I enjoyed the work more than the product so I ended up selling it for a jzx90 mk2
Neil, I am damn proud to have been a part of your whole journey. I definitely feel the saying that the 86 being something to keep you out of trouble. I can relate to that as it is something that has influenced me for over 10 fucking years, all thanks to you and your build. It's honestly been the most inspiring car to me, just as Ueo's 86 has been to you, so I couldn't be happier to see you so close to the end. Not to sound too fanboyish, but you and your 86 have really been the game changer for the last few years. Cheers to lads who still live with their parrents to make financial mistakes 🍻
damn, i cant be the only one who got a lil teary eye'd looking at this thing is full paint and windows it. its been such a long time watching this get built.
FUCKIN IMMACULATE BROTHER GAHHHHHHHHHDAMN. This brings me so much joy to see this. Can't wait to see you enjoying this, living vicariously through you 😂.. we better have future clips of you in your 50's still cruising this beautiful piece of automotive history!
7 years ive been watching this build and ive only just started my first Dragged a Lexus Sc400 out from a yard similar to the 86 and this thing has given me every bit of motivation to get it done Great job man this thing is looking immaculate
In the time you have been doing this and I have been watching you I met my gf and then got married purchased a house had a child got a very impractical B18 EG blew all my Money on that so yeah watching these videos has kept me going and motivates me to get my EG painted too !
So so close , have been enjoying this build since around Dec 2017 can't wait to see it finished but at the same time it will be sad because it will be the end of the big build , hopefully get to see her in the flesh when I return to Ireland for something like lz.festival again !
That car must have as smile from ear to ear much like its owner.. your homies are true homies i must say. nice touch with the brown tinted glass also.I hope your gonna treat your boys to the best food they ever tasted one night. they deserve it.
You don't often think about this, but doing 1 off custom work is actually a thrill for a professional. I'm a landscaper and do mind numbingly repetitive stuff all day, but give me a custom job working from concept renderings and I love it! I'll do all the overtime I can! My tattoo artist said the same thing when he did my sleeve that we agonised over for nearly 6 months in design. He said its so much better putting 20 hours in a huge custom peice than doing 20 flaming skulls over and over again. I never thought of it like that!
Man has it been 7 years i feel like watching you makes me feel old lol i was 13 when i first started watching this Crazy Restoration Journey and I’m happy to see this alive again keep making more journeys after this ae86 is complete you make all our dreams and inspirations come true bro love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 Neil 😁
Life choices, man! You made the right one here. This channel, this community, this car.. everything you've created is amazing and I'm such a huge fan of it all!
I am very happy and proud of your achievements, Neil, in restoring the AE86 which took more than 7 years. You will definitely feel joy and sorrow while restoring an AE86 and I feel it. I have been following you since 2017 and until now I am waiting patiently for the final progress of your AE86 restoration and I hope the results are very satisfying. Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia
Cheers for the kind words! Its getting real close now, I cant wait to enjoy this and build a few other rust machines on the channel, hopefully they don't take seven years!
No way it's been that long. INSANE to see how far this thing has come since you found it in the marsh. Every time I watch one of your vids, my interest in cars gets reinvigorated. Here in America, it's about who's got the biggest, fastest engine, and there's just no community like this out here any more. Not to mention the amount of shit people get for driving certain cars... To me, cars have always been about hanging with mates and enjoying what you're driving without it effecting your ego. Love you man, And I am very glad to have been here for the entirety of it. P.S. I started saying "fuck off" just like him because of this series, thank you Barry.
Thats a shame, here we all get a kick out of any sort of car, it could be American, german or Japanese, I guess being a tiny country without its own car manufacturers, people are into all sorts, I really appreciate the kind words too, Id be lost without having good friends around me who have steered this build in the right direction, the results are better than anything I could have ever imagined
yeah man been here since it was a purple mess in a bush xD glad to have been around it's been a blast and thanks for sharing, this could have happened in some garage in Ireland and nobody would have known about it, but alas here we are :D rings laaad
This is my favorite build series on YT and as amazing as it will be to see it finished and you enjoying it I'm going to miss the updates to be honest. Your vision of an 86 is literally perfection man thank you for all these videos over the past 7 years
Loads of updates on this to come, the story is only getting started, I also have another selection of shit boxes Ive been hiding from the channel to build
Neil, as someone who bought his AE86 in his very early 20s, owned it for 21yrs, dont worry about the other life things people are doing. just enjoy what you are doing, the other life stuff (houses, partners, kids etc) can come later when you are ready.
It is such a cool car... Stuff from dreams, so happy for someone to be able to enjoy it! especially after all the dedication and love that you lot poured into it. Been following this project for around 5 years now, super stoked to see it finished!!
dude 🤯 7yrs it's crazy but patience is key my friend 🧡 do it once do it right !!! congrats and the support from your friends, US watching you collecting bits and pieces from around the would or fixing and making things work from shopping cart trolleys 😂 she's coming together beautiful👌 Neil! 👏
Fair play to all involved the car looks amazing.. nearly there.. hopefully the car will be at 86 day on the 1st sept at mondello. Would love to see this in person.. 👍
god has it been 7 years already, looking foward to the next 7
Hopefully it doesn't get swung into a wall haha
i swear if it happen I blame you for jinxing it lollllll@St_Rizla
been watching since the build started can't believe how long it's been what a journey
Same, since its days it was in a bush of overgrown grass. I check in every now and then when I see an update.
Think this build took ages, wait till you see how long "project binky" has been going for :O
@@Mr_jz_12 So long I forgot about it, I need to check that channel lol.
@@Mr_jz_12 I’ll give it a look on the old google machine
@@chris-se7jt well worth the watch. Very in depth too.
Barry said FUCK OFF! My day is made!! 🎉🎉😂
Hahahaha
HE SAID IT!
The absolute pinnacle of a restaured AE86.
Truly chuffed for you Neil that the 86 after 7 years is near its completion and to have such a tight group of friends to trust and talk to these days with Barry, Jackie, Flip and Reuben it’s is hard to come by. And yes please have other projects ahead.
Im very lucky to have such a good group of mates, loads more misery and fun ahead! Ive got a few more builds Ive been keeping away from the channel until this is finished
Absolutely wicked. Can't believe it's been 7 years.
Its been too long, that's for sure.
I started watching when the AE86 first hit the scene in 1943, we've been through 6 recessions, 5 world wars and 35 popes but by jaysus here we are thriving!
Jackie, Barry, the true Gs of this build, this thing is turning out super nice, love the little detail on the wrap around lip, super nerd stuff
Can't forget about Duggy's contributions! What a friggin crew you lads got, for sure. Wish I had such great mates.
Everyone talks about "OEM+", but this project is what it really means. I'm a "restore it to original" type of guy, but couldn't have more respect for this. Every bit was carefully crafted. I wish I could do this to my own car. Best regards, man, keep it up!
The funny is you guys are absolutely right about life
Hey man, in 2017 I was in my last year of high school. 7 years later I still haven't finished my engineering degree, but your AE86 looks mint. 7 years isn't so bad!
From one car enthusiast to another, even though im all the way in Australia... this hits home like nothing ever.... so proud of you bro..
Now after that nasty split from my ex, finally my life is back on track... my SW20 (original 1991 GT turbo) is sitting in my friends garage calling my name... the motor has finally been finished, assembled by a famous ex TRD group A mechanic... only every worked on 4A and 3S etc.... its time to absolutely smash out the dreams boys.... thank you Neil..... 2024 year of the resurrection of JDM legends!
Nice man I hope you get to enjoy that beauty~!
After following you for YEARS, it's so damn cool seeing this thing come to fruition. Congrats! (also you have such a great group of friends)
Id be lost without them
Keep on pushing!!!
Been watching this channel since first videos of restoration as an inspiring material for my own project car. Seven years passed, and I still don`t have a project car. But I`ve opened my own repair shop to earn some money and have place and tools for build. So my project is yet to come and Juicebox is still great inspiration for me. Cheers!
Incredible workmanship all round on this mate . Fucking buzzing for every update ❤
been watching since it started 22 now love how far it's come like it has all the panel's now
I can’t express how fucking clean the 86 looks, it’s unreal.
Huge proprs to everyone who worked on it and to you for bringing us through the whole process, love you Neil ❤
Can’t wait for the done thing:)
I love the black on the AE86, it looks so evil and cool
I've been watching this show for seven years without even realizing it. Congratulations on fulfilling your dream.
04:16 Alfred Hitchcock called. 🤣
The Level of attention to details, work and finish is always insane. 👏👏
7 years; worth it. 👌
They must have heard that the nicest paint job in a 1000mile radius was going to peek outside soon, so they all wanted a try at shitting on it.
@@mattteee2973 Read my mind.
No 80s grocery getter has any business having a paint job that good! I am absolutely made up that someone with such a passion for these cars gets to own and enjoy this complete masterpiece! Health to enjoy and looking forward to seeing it in person at a show somewhere!
Cheers man
Its been a long journey but one well worth the effort. I follow a lot of long builds and i have enjoyed the progress on this throughout. Hope the car treats you well in the future.
Car is mental bro!!! You lads did tha Dann thing! Respect!
Can’t believe we’ve all been watching this build for 7 years, can’t wait to see you ripping it in all its glory 🔥
The car turned out great with black paint and white wheels. Well done everyone involved 👌
Honestly the amount of hard work and craftmanship gone into this little 86 is just so incredible. I feel proud to be so invested into this series and witness the transformation ♥️👊 Thank you Neil for letting us see this through your eyes.
Cheers for being along for the ride!
hard to believe i was just starting college when you first started this project. so happy to seeing the 86 near completion!!! :D
It took me almost 5 years to almost finish my car, so 7 years on this is right on sched. Wish I could do it all over again. Love the car, and all the lads and the enthusiasm you all put into this. Got me feeling now that it's almost over
7 years of following, how that time has flown, so proud of you Neil, your father would be such a very proud man! grinning ear to ear from the heavens at the things you've accomplished a pure gentleman.
Watching her being put together after soo many years is beyond satisfying, awesome build , gives us all hope to someday restore our shitboxes .. the journey pain and suffering was very much worth it after seeing your baby completed. Very Happy for you ❤
Really appreciate the kind words
Been watching from the start and can not believe the transformation of your car you deserve it buddy looking forward to the next episode
All the hours of work each of you have dedicated to this car is incredible. Just a dream come true. Thanks for the vids that inspire me to go back to my project care with more enthusiasm.
Ueo shout out was awesome!
Man, it’s been awhile. I’ve gone through college and i’m about to start a new chapter in my life again and go back into school. The car’s finally almost finished. Congratulations on the 86!

Seven years ago when the first vid came out I was doing my junior cert. Now I’m approaching my final exams in final year of uni. Insane
Haha thats wild, time moves a lot slower at that age too so this must feel like forever
Everyone's absolutely fuckin chuffed for you man, holy hell does this look good.

We're getting close boys! That front end with the bumper, lip, eyelids all on together.. beautiful 🤌
Looks unreal
