Sarah, I love watching your videos. But dont ever think we 'deserve' anything. We're appreciative of everything you do. But in your life, you come first. Keep being awkward
Sarah, Dont be so hard on your self, You are putting out great content for us, I dont think anyone is leaving, just because you are not finishing a project in 3 videos, Love all your videos . Thanks for having a youtube channel.xoxo
141K subs tells the real story. Sarah is not the only one doing what she does, but she's one of the most entertaining, and that's why people watch.
I love how humble you are about your cars and your work. Thanks for keeping it real for us simple folk!
It really shows that you're doing it for the love of cars and your loyal fans. Big budget builds are cool. But watching a build thats obtainable for any man or women is inspiring.
I never get tired of watching you work on your cars. I love your humor, and how you get yourself into spots when you say things that have double meanings. Don't ever change. Look forward to seeing both Mr Dos and Teeter Tot finished and ready for whatever you decide to do with be them.
Sarah youve done pretty good for keeping such a low budget on either car but the amount of difference it has shown is amazing! Your doi g it right girl and its awesome!
I watch your videos before any other RUclipsr because of how genuine they are and because how relatable they are.
Sarah, You are a true inspiration to other automotive enthusiasts who share a common interest. Your attention to detail and performing tasks until they meet your standards show how dedicated you are to finishing the job. I enjoy your videos and especially your quirky personality make it more entertaining for everyone. I hope you will continue with these projects and look forward to the finished projects so far. Happy Holidays & Wishing you the best New Year to come!
Great content, it's your personality. The cars are an extension of that. The trails of troubleshooting, the victories of fixing it, the journey (don't stop believing) of learning, the cheesy jokes, the innuendos, the joy of driving the cars you have been working on... All of it is you and that is the great content. Keep being awesome and real.
Good work holding down cost. Love how well you pay attention to detail, figure out tough problems and still slam massive hours of editing. You really are a piece of work!
I’d watch you fix the wheel of an Amish carriage. I enjoy watching your progress. Thanks for your content.
I usually do not like watching too many RUclips videos. Your channel is one of the few I watch EVERY show. YOU.....make the show. You have a great screen presence because your a honest human being. That comes through in the videos. I was a jet mechanic in the Navy and grew up in Detroit where everyone works on their cars. I don't do a lot of mechanical work these days, so you feed a corner of my soul that is no longer active. Thank you for being you and the content you put out. It really is very good and you are appreciated.
Best tip I had for painting was picked up from Edd on Wheeler Dealers. Pre-paint cleaner. I think it’s called wax & grease remover Stateside. Remember it’s all in the prep👍. T-shirt is 😎 by the way.
I look forward to the uploads , never disappointed, nice job on the cars, can't wait to see the paint on MR DOS
G'day, Sarah! Um, that's right, Kemosabe. Nice job! Hope you don't mind... As a nice help, you are doing fine! I love the neat fact, your essentially humble, (meekness or modesty; not arrogant or prideful) and you really care about your work, and it sincerely shows! Thank you so much! Cheers! 😊🌺✌🏼❤️
P.S. “The Lone Ranger! A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty Hi-Yo Silver! …a mysterious character of the early West who brought fear to the lawless and hope to those who wanted to make the land their own.”
When looking back, At that time, few people had televisions, however, the number of television sets in America would increase greatly over the next few years. In the process, Tonto became a household name.
Silverheels’ character was little more than a cultural stereotype. Tonto spoke broken English and always was subservient to the Lone Ranger. But as the first Native actor to play a Native American on television, he really broke new ground.
I started watching because you are easy on the eyes. But then I started to listen to what you were saying and doing and realized you knew a lot more about mechanics than I did (but I'm not a mechanic). I respect people who admit their shortcomings but still aren't afraid to try. Keep up the good work and if someone says you can't do something, the heck with 'em and do your own thing.
Cheers 👍✌️
Great job Sarah. Yea, the content those cars provided for us is priceless, thanks for bringing us along on this silly & wacky ride. By the way, LOVE the shirt!
Really truly have the faith in yourself you deserve! You've covered so many disciplines of automotive service and restoration in these projects, I feel like we are cut from the same cloth! I started many years ago having been given a wrecked Volvo with a blown head gasket by my Dad who was a WWIi Navy Machinist's mate/aircraft mechanic. I learned all of the things you have shown over the past 35 years on my own daily drivers, but not from doing things right the first time! You've got the drive and the talent to make this happen, so happy to see your videos and the progress you make every week. And on top of it all, you seem really cool.
You need to mention the hard work you put into the wiring harness for the MR2. Don't sell yourself short. You are doing great.
Pro tips for shooting paint: First, make sure you blow the dust off of everything including yourself and the air line that you will be using. Second, shoot the paint gun onto a scrap piece of cardboard or something to get the coverage and pattern correct before painting the parts. Third, begin with extremely light coats and allow enough time to flash between coats to avoid sags and runs but if you do get sags or runs do not try to wipe them off unless you can wipe the entire part off because you will never get it smooth otherwise. It is far easier to wet sand the run out after it dries than to try to get the paint smooth after wiping a section off in my experience. Fourth, have a "sample" part or section of similar material in the booth and apply the paint the same to this piece so you can touch that part to check the cure and not mess up your actual work. Fifth, drape the air line over your shoulder so that it supports the majority of the hose and keeps it located behind you so that you can concentrate on making sure the hose doesn't bump your parts and finally do not rush the process and make sure that you are well rested before you begin. It might sound funny or stupid but the weight of the spray gun does start to get to you if you keep hammering along and don't allow time to rest. This is of course more for when spraying an entire car but if you are not use to it even an hour of painting can cause discomfort in your arms hands and lower back. And one last nugget, If you have someone that knows how to spray paint see if they can help you get the gun dialed in. Too much air flow can cause excessive over spray and dry spots and too much paint flow will cause sags, runs and other issues and it is important to have the right size tips for the product that you are shooting and they can help you get set up. Once it is dialed in it is a lot easier to lay down paint that looks like glass. Have fun and good luck.
Being an Automotive RUclipsr myself now (thanks to your inspiration) I know how much time it takes to setup cameras, re position cameras, work on lighting, audio and all that little stuff takes time, practice and a lot of mess ups. NOT TO MENTION, the time it takes to do the actual automotive work!
Watching you progress not only in you video skills but also your automotive skills is absolutely amazing. You should be very proud! You have done a spectacular job! PLUS your content continues to get better! Keep doing your thing, don't worry about disappointing your subscribers, that isn't going to happen, because that isn't you! Keep up the great work!
Great job Sarah, you’re crushing it on both project cars! Thanks for sharing your progress. =)
My day has been made by another Sara-n-Tuned video. Hope you are doing well Sara!!
I’ve given up my job , friends , going out , washing - that’s how much time I now need to watch enough of your videos now that you’ve hooked me
Everyone else be the same , I’ve never done drugs but this is similar I think , if not more addictive
Keep doing what you’re doing
I have that TT , had the MR2 and have a Boxster 3.2S 04 , marvellous at
Be good one to do next 🙏🙏🙏🏴❤️
Just over here watching some of the old vids like a Sarah nerd haha. Love you lady! The content is humble and very well appreciated.
Hey Sarah, been watching your videos for a while now and mad respect to you and your skills. Love the dedication and quality of work you do. Keep it up!
Really enjoying the journey and learning a bunch along the way . Keep Up The GREAT WORK !
I'm glad you are keeping Mr Dos, you are going to have a blast in it.
Great to see the breakdown of cost. You’re absolutely correct on many other channels claiming they do their stuff on a budget when in reality they’re fronting a lot of the costs themselves.
Keep this in mind, you never have to apologize to us. You’ve got over 105k official subscribers. Not counting those people who don’t subscribe but still look at the vids. You put in a lot of hard work and the results are worth it. Keep doing what you’re doing. Don’t feel as if you owe us anything. Take your time. There’s no pressure. As long as you’re enjoying it, we’ll follow along. 😉👍🏻
Good luck Sarah with the painting, I am sure you will nail it.
Sarah, I am so happy to hear you are keeping Mr. Dos!!!! When you were contemplating selling him, I was sad since you have made so much progress on him! I hope he treats you well because I know you will treat him well. Also, love your awkwardness, don't ever change.
Also, I wanted to send you a license plate for your wall but I noticed you already have an Ontario, Canada plate.
Sarah... u got this. We all have super faith in your skill. You have done amazing work to your MR2... much more than my project MR2 that I'm doing myself. I wish I had your dedication to your work.
Keep up the superb work. Good luck and always look fwd to seeing your work
Great work so far there.
#1 tip; lists! I'm currently building a tube frame based project from scratch using a Toyota 1MZ and it's a HUGE amount of work.More than I bargained for that's for sure. Sometimes I look at it and think it will never ever be done but you just have to stay positive and get your hands on it. I have a big whiteboard on my garage wall and When I'm feeling overwhelmed I take a few minutes to make a list of stuff to do and just get to work crossing things off it. Physically crossing things off a big list makes you feel accomplished and it definitely keeps me motivated.
Sometimes these projects can seem like a huge pile of never ending work but we can't let it get the best of us.
It's really refreshing to see the low-budget, hard-work, projects. Wish you all the success, but selfishly hope the projects stay affordable.
You should put sound insulation to doors when u are putting them back together.Your sound quality improves lot and road noise will be little bit quieter .love your videos. Greetings from Finland
eliz Is rather not add unnecessary weight, I don’t care about the sound really. I only replaced the speakers because the others were completely blown.
@@SarahnTuned True, its a Targa Top whats the point. Most likely goin to be driven without the Glass panels.
Sarah -n- Tuned less on the eBay crap you mentioned and a little on sound insulation will go along way. Not just for the stereo but for the quality of the ride by reducing the road noise. Great work, just a friendly suggestion. (Ok, more of an opinion)
You amaze me; Sarah. Thanks for sharing these glimpses into your world - It's one of the bright spots in my week!
In one of your videos you described the MrDos as being a project car that never got sorted by the previous owners, especially the tricky ECU and rough idling. You sorted it through intelligent troubleshooting and perserverence! I think MrDos is your achievement unlocker, signs of good things to come. Keep or sell, it will have done it's duty for you. I enjoy watching your vids, how you edit them and the storytelling is smooth flowing. Keep up the good work! I don't have any more project cars as I have sorted out the Z4 niggling issues, ready for summer :)
It's like watching Lil' Sarah after a couple of energy shots! Great work on cutting it all together... very nicely done.
Great video. .....As long as you have the door panel off , oil the links for the door opening mechanisms and check the actuator boxes.They are sometimes working poorly due to rust, binding, spider webs or mouse nests. They are mostly plastic and may be cracked due to heat ( or previous accidents).Just a good inspection while you have the mechanisms open is often good prevention....Ditto with the window regulators....Sorry.....just being OCD , which I know you will identify with.
Sarah, I am very impressed with your vehicle knowledge, willing to do your own personal work on your vehicles, and your hilarious expressions and verbal comments while testing the vehicles in your videos. Keep up the good work and thanks for making me laugh at you in the videos!
WOW! Time does fly and the journey was worth every minute to watch to completion! Thank you for sharing Sarah! Amazing segment and journey!
Thanks for the great videos, FYI the clips for the MR2 door handles are available cheap on ebay etc. I replaced mine & part numbers are 69293-12030 & 69293-12040 (Left & Right) about $5 delivered. I think I would spend more on band-aid for bleeding knuckles etc.
I’m an accountant so I really enjoyed all those numbers! That was a great video and you’ve done well to keep costs under control. Loving your work!! 😃😃
I liked the cost rundown also. She's making those cars look so good for a reasonable amount of money.
It's a clean looking Mr2 once it's shining like a new penny, it will pay u back tenfold in smiles per miles. Great vids Sarah
When I saw the title I thought: 'here comes the moment of truth & pain'. But the total cost was a lot lower than I expected. So big thumbs up on that! 👍
Go girl, you work way harder than I do on projects and I don't even film or edit and post my work. I love what you are doing with those two old cars. I started watching around the time you bought TT and love every episode. Keep it going. Merry Xmas
Nothing better than watching a beautiful woman with knowledge and passion for cars doing the projects that you are doing your very impressive and thorough so dont be so hard on yourself oh also hats off to you for having the courage to do what you do I've been building cars my entire life and just dont have that courage to do a you tube channel with content as you do thank you for being you
Im currently doing body and paint work on my car so your videos are kind of inspiration to keep sanding and spraying. Dont be discouraged 😊
I love watching the progress of both cars. and that super long timelapse is king! 😍
Just keep being you Sarah!
Take all the time you need with the videos. We'll keep liking and watching. ☺
Good luck with the painting it can be fun and very rewarding, however when you're learning it can be stressful. Remember nothing is permanent it all can be fixed just have fun.
I've been curious what you have in your cars. I started watching shortly after you go Mr Dos. All the work you've put in I'm really glad you're keeping it. Can't wait to see the paint job.
Don't apologize for showing us too many body videos. You are just like we are. You make us feel like real people when you take a while to get your stuff done. Some of us take 15 years and still haven't completed then. You look like just as pretty now an when you started the projects. Can't say the same for most of the rest of us.
Hi Sarah, You have grown on me. Ooh, um, Yeah. Anyway, I can't get enough of you and your channel. Your subtle way of expressing your self is a winner. The work you do, to give us content is amazing. If you need someone to hand you tools I'm your man. hehe
You are brilliant. Taking your time with things like bodywork, only make the final result better. Sorry to hear about your boots.
Thanks for shedding some light on those aspects, since plenty of people are working on a budget.
And thanks for letting the quality control kitten weigh in on this as well!
I think its awesome how you work on your own cars. Keep up with the awesome videos. I like when my phone notifies me with a video from you.
IMHO, any video with you and little Sarah is the best video you've made.
Lovely tomcat! He has the same color basically as my Maine Coon, Fireball.
Great video. I am learning a lot about body work and painting. Really appreciate you passing your knowledge on to others.
Glad you loving Mr Dos. They are great cars that look awesome and are super fun to drive.
Toyota + Sports car = reliability and style.
What could be better?
Another great video Sarah love all the content and how you pay attention to all the little details to make the cars new again.
Mr. Dos is coming along! By the way, love your shirt.
Woman.Driven thanks Doris! 😊
Love the "Reverse French" on your nails; Cool Comfy Boots! Another Awesome Video!
Don’t stress the paint work, with your work ethic and focus on doing things right I’m sure the paint will turn out awesome!
Project Cars + Sarah n Tuned & little sarah = GOOD QUALITY BUILT! 😀👍
Love the budget build stuff, and the interesting cars you chose.. Alot of people would avoid these type of cars for different reasons, but they are cheap and can be made to be fun lil sports cars that are a nice change from a miata or other cookie cutter cars people mod..
Apparently MR2s are a notable pain in the butt. I have enough trouble keeping the Wagon Family Truckster running, without mods. You got this Sarah, remember 99% of a great paint job is the PREP.
"Run Forrester Run" .....excellent design Sarah!!!! :))))))))))))))))))))))))
As long as your having fun doing the paint who cares.
Keep up the great work.
Keep smiling and merry Christmas from the U.K.x
Keep up the good work, Sarah! I like the Forester shirt! I have already ordered a few other ones of yours. Can't wait until they arrive!
For a budget build it's a really really good work and doesn't even deserved named budget build because you look to the little details and keep 110 prozent on your work and have the discipline to finish it for all of that i have big respekt and like the cars even more
Respekt and keep up the good work
Your “Hellos” are what I look forward to after a long ass day at work. Love your contents!
Just picked up a 2001 Audi TT 225 yesterday as a project car. Currently doing timing and water pump. Hopefully I can learn a lot from your channel ☺️
I've only watched a couple of your videos so I don't know what you do for a living or if you've ever said but your doing a great job. I think your right Doing this on a budget does relate to more people and Ten hours to edit that's crazy. Having kids I can't find that much time to even get in the garage to work.
Good luck today at the spray shop Sarah. Looking forward to seeing the results
Sara your doing a good job on both cars a lot of people are doing restorations on a budget they can not afford a frame off rotisserie car including me keep up the good work.
Good luck with all your cars I'll be following closely when I piece my Mr2 na to 4th gen conversion .
From what i have seen both reasonable cost.
With the win going to the MR2 for aftermarket part choice and availability.
Plus the MR2 is the better car.
But the 94 model is even better.
And the styling on the MR2 looks so much better.
Wonderful videos.Its great to see woman do these things and the petrol head interest. .GO GIRL
No need to apologize, your videos are awesome. Keep up the great work.
Love your videos, great content and funny at times aswell, sometimes i cant be bothered to be working on my car but then watch one of your videos and instantly i wanna go fix everthying 👍
I love coming home from a long day and work to see you posted another video, you are doing a great job keep up the good work !
Trick with body filler.. Dip out the filler in a circle on a flat plastic surface. Once you have the amount you need, whether it's the size of a golf ball or a softball, squeeze out a line of hardener from one side to the other, and turn and spread, turn and spread till you get a uniform color. Never stir, you'll get bubbles. That's it!
keep up the good work Sarah, I find it more relevant and prefer to watch videos on project cars where they are done within a budget.
Keep up the great work - project cars can be just that, fun, and affordable.
It is what it is...it takes what it takes. Ive been ground up resto modding 2 Datsun Z cars.Its been 3 yrs. People ask me all the time " when are you going to be finished?" ( like they have been , doing the work!)
Well If I were rich.I could give you a date.
But since I work a full time job and work on them as I have the funds,....they will be finished...when they are finished.
Im also doing everything 2 total ground up restomods.
You must enjoy the journey, thats where alot of the fun is.
You drive it you smile....but in the back of your mind .... Its being used and headed back to hence it came....oh well!
Great vid always great editing!
Shout out to the OGs that were here back when the garage was just Gump!
I'm no pro painter but i did paint 4 vans and my biggest suprise was that the pros don't actually have it perfect straight out of the gun. Luckly your good at detailing and that helps alot by correcting the faults. I belive in you, just don't take it too hard if you gonna have a run or something.
Love your videos ,you are very gifted and don't worry ,your work is top drawer!
Love the work ethic. You're good people Sarah!
I enjoy watching you work. It's relaxing. It's therapy
Btw, stop apologizing for how u doin what you do. We are here to watch the show. It takes time doin what u do. All the intricate details are necessary to complete the projects. We ain't Goin nowhere
Good luck on Thursday ! We're all pulling for you !!! Cheers !!!
I'm really loving the mr2 project. Cant wait for the paint! Came for mrDos, stayed for everything else.
Nice shirt Sarah.. and way to go on these cars you have come so far!!
Hi Sarah love the content of your videos. How do you keep your outfits so clean I only need to look at the engine bay and get dirt and grease on me. Think you are doing a fantastic job it's so nice to see a woman doing a car up. Need some more of little Sarah as well you two work well together. Keep up the great work and don't put yourself down so much. Thanks from the UK
Great job and good luck for The paintjob. Greetings from Stockholm/Sweden
It's a lot of money in those, and way more work, but it's the price of doing it right and ending up with a good product. Great job so far, and have fun in the booth tomorrow!
What happened to your boots is the only reason I didn't buy one of the new shirts, white doesn't go last long in the shop, and I'm in the shop far too much. Any chance you can easily offer it in gray like the mechanicproblems one?
You made that crimp look way too easy! Guess cutting down the die helped more than I thought it was going to! I think you might have missed the joke with it though.
I appreciate the budget approach. It's easy to get lost and blow a bunch of cash. It's more challenging and (I think) more rewarding to look back and see you didn't spend stupid money. Nice.
If you have the door locks out check the passenger door lock and write that number down. Only place you can get the key code for keys to be made. If you ever need a key cut you will need that number.
You make all of us very happy. The effort you put into the videos shows. Quality not quantity. Be happy doing the stuff you like. If you are looking for the next project car I know where there is a surviver 1990 300zx NA. Only 53K miles.
