    One part nobody talks about is why they watch your channel. We, (my life and I) watch you not because we are particularly interested in cars, we watch it for you, for the insights you give and for just giving of yourself. In a sense, we enjoy your company. We enjoy your work. You are Very good at it. It's fun to watch.🐧

    I actually rewatched Demolition Man two days ago. The secret of the three shells was left as a cliffhanger at the final scene, and apparently was scheduled to be revealed in the sequel that never saw the light of day.

      I believe the joke is predicated on old outhouse art with 3 corn cobs. a red one, a white one, and another red one, instead of toilet paper. You use the first red corn cob, then use the middle white corn cob to see if you need the third corn cob.

      Thus, the old country phrase "rough as a cob"@@ttraband

      @AJC508 Год назад +7

      Funny and interesting. I always assumed there was something to do with Japanese ‘active’ cleaning toilets that would have become the norm in the future. Your corn cob theory is far more amusing though. Not that I can picture myself trying that technique. Obviously.

    As someone who was dumb enough to do Jeep and 4x4 truck restorations for a living the old saying of "The last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time ." is often an understatement!

    This is the only YT resto project thingy channel that I watch all the time, haven't missed an episode for years now - and I love the little bits that other people don't show, you also get the balance between that and the big things right as well, nobody does it better.

      I love the Celica, and I've done a lot of what Sarah is doing, I had 5 of the '77 Celica GT over the years. I 'restored' parts of them, though I certainly don't have her very high degree of skill and attention to detail. I always thought about dropping a V-8 into one of them, but after seeing what really goes into it, I'm very glad I didn't.

  • @aijcadd

    All the little fiddley bits are what makes the end result worth all the effort. Those of us who have fully concoursed any vehicle appreciate your fine attention to detail. And bonus for us is getting to see it in all it's glory. Keep up the great work. Cheers.
    PS. The only dirty bits in the finished result will be the language your passenger(s) use when you mash the pedal to the floor. 😆

    Watching the windshield installation expert work on your windshield was like watching Picasso paint. Wow, all these types of professionals and their skills are slowly disappearing. Just try to find someone to hand pin stripe your car or motorcycle. Thanks for adding that segment into this video Sarah. As for you, you're always a joy to watch, but so sad to see your Subie sitting in storage.

    I have a tip for you that I picked up like trash on the Internet highway for restoring glass on the cheap. Use a fresh piece of Clay Bar to mop the window and then use 'Flitz' polish and a polishing ball. I was amazed at my results. Plus it wont hurt paint or trim so you can do this to an installed window too. It would make your stainless shine as well. Nothing but respect for the work you do, your freaking amazing!
