Your freehand drawing is extremely impressive! Kudos to your art teacher! They really help explain the solutions you are looking to achieve. (I am in the 12% club!) Come on in everybody!
This is one of the most complicated resto mods I have seen. These challenges and solutions are super valuable to understand. Youre learning about welding is super valuable to understand as well. You’re doing fine. More than fine. This is the best resto channel, period. And you’re a star. Serious.
Glad to see that you are farming out some of the tricky or difficult stuff to others to save time and headaches. You know your limitations and got pros to help. Great work Sarah. Also must say that your welds will improve with time. You'll get there.
I'm part of the 12% don't want to miss any videos. Wiring, as I was an electrician and enjoy watching you do your electrical part. You do a perfect job.
In the interests of joining you in inventing new terms, the problems with the cross member were well solutioned.... I look forward to seeing more solutionisation of similar problems when they inevitably arise.
Engine, wiring harness, then interior. Otherwise there will probably be a lot of removing previous work to get the next done. The attention to detail is amazing, and you are never boring.
Sarah, A. 12%er. B. You said something about wanting to be like normal people. Girl, you are not normal. That is the reason we all love you so much. Please, leave normal for others and remain our Sarah. ❤ Keep the aspidistra flying! Love, Paul
The one thing I wanted for my 76 Celica was a decent engine. I was always considering getting an in-line 6 to replace that anemic 20R with all the vacuum hoses.
I’m always impressed by how you’re able to make sense of all that wiring. However, I think tackling the engine would probably be the better course of action. You never know what you’ll encounter. Plus, if it’s something you have to wait for parts again, you can side step to do the interior. 😉👍🏻
Great work, Sarah. Your descriptions of the process are really informative, even with the quirky way you relate your conundrums, it makes it easy to understand (and laugh a little.)
Your approach to problem solving is fascinating. Pretty sure that whatever video you choose next will pull in your legion of viewers. Keep doing what you’re doing!
we put a 283 with tunnel ram in a 76 celica we made it wide body with tubs in the back, back in the early 90's. we put a full frame in it so it doesn't twist the car with 6 point roll cage. with out a frame u will be junking this car after a few pulls with it if ur windshield don't pop out on the first pull . and the mid bearing is called a career bearing u should use a villosity u joint they work better and are stronger . we built a 75 lt camaro and it twisted the car so bad that u could not even put the windshield back in it plus one wheel in the front would sit 2 inches from the ground the doors would not close that was from the first pull on a stock car but we knew it would not last but we did not think it would do it that fast .
Sarah, for a quick and accurate method to locate mounting holes like you needed for the transmission cross member, there are transfer punches that are similar to setscrews with a sharp point in center. The punch is threaded into existing holes with point protruding, locate part needing hole locations transfered and tap with a mallet. It's also beneficial to drill mounting holes larger than the actual bolt diameter to allow for expansion/ contraction due to temperature. Great project!
I have left live streams I was really interested in because your video popped up because of the bell 🔔. I highly suggest it for anyone who loves good car content.
Woohoo, I too am in the 12% club! I enjoy watching the process you go through to restore the cars and your car reviews are 1000x better than any other reviewer out there (because you show real world stuff and the things that normal people care about). I also highly appreciate seeing (and learning) what it takes to do any work to a car.
I really like videos where you can learn something. Just like what was shown at 6:00 about drive line angles. I knew the driveshaft needs to be balanced like a car tire to avoid vibration. But didn't realize you only had 0.5 and 3 degrees of angle room to play with. Always thought it was quite a bit more .
I check for your videos of any kind daily since I discovered your channel. This may be the most fascinating build yet. The mix of keeping what’s seen as stock and the many, many modifications to all that won’t be as immediately apparent is turning out to be such a work of art. Keep up the amazingness!
The fact that you want JIS OEM hardware under the car in a place that nobody will ever see it is why this channel is the best car thing on YT. And yes, I clicked the bell.
Miss Sarah, Another fantastic video. Really enjoy your content, as a mechanic on the side, I would focus on the engine next. You may encounter another larger problem with the installation and button up. This way you eliminate the biggest variable and work your way down. My recommendation is to save your harness for last. Any length changes can be addressed with the proper dimensions as a certainty. Best of luck and best wishes.
As much as I wanna see you build the engine, probably could benefit by doing the wiring first before putting the interior and engine in. What do I know I ain't a mechanic. Awesome video!
Definitely going to want to do the wiring harness while the engine is still out. So I think it’s a coin flip between the wiring harness or the interior.
I've been part of the prestigious 12% since day 1. Thanks Sarah, I've learned a lot with this video - why the centre prop bearing mount is so important for a start. I watch anything and everything you do, so I don't mind what come next. Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration 🤗🤗🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
A little tip for cutting "square" holes, drill 4 holes, 1/4" or 1/2" if you have room, then use the cutoff wheel in between. Makes for nicer looking, and more importantly, stronger fabrication. Love the build!
I get all your notifications. When I'm surfing RUclips and see that you've posted a new video, I watch it asap. It's always fun to watch you review cars and work on your projects. Your tenacity and humor is unique and always there, and I usually learn something, too.
I have switched on alerts, but this is the only channel I am willing to do that for. On a separate note, OCD plus patience seem to be paying off for Sarah. I think wiring harness should be next.
If you want to mark a hole then try using a ball bearing. Place the bearing in the hole and then cover it with the metal to be marked. Hit the metal and the bearing will make a centred mark on the reverse.
Hey Sarah, all notifications from day one and I’d like to see the wiring harness, give you a break from the heavier work. great fab, have a great one as always🐧🐧🐧👍
At 3:31, sweetheart I don’t have the bell thingy on, but I literally look for your incredible informative and inspiring vids all the time. No need for the bell😊
SARAH, PLEASE READ THIS. The direction you were cutting with the angle grinder was very, very dangerous. I know it will be counterintuitive, but when cutting with an angle grinder you want it to be throwing sparks back at you, so if no, "when" it grabs and pulls out of your hand (which at some point in time it will, guaranteed) the grinder will go flying away from your body. When cutting with the sparks shooting away from you, you have very little control of the grinder and quadruple the chances of having a bad accident. Cutting with the sparks shooting at you gives you the most control over the grinder.
I disagree. Shooting the sparks back at yourself is unnecessarily putting yourself in the line of fire for when a wheel comes apart. I've been a fabricator for nearly 30 years and have seen far more accidents with the person impaled by shards of broken abrasives than hit by an out of control tool. Positive control is the key. If you are uncertain if you can maintain control of a tool spinning at 11,000 rpm, you should either learn how it behaves and how to use it's weight and gyroscopic tendencies or don't pick it up.
In my experience, the standard shield "thingy" is about 80% effective during a cutting wheel blow-out - I've seen bits of wheel end up in people's arms. The shield designed for cutting wheels is a more effective option, but it's still not 100% protection and not many people pony up the extra cash for that option.
Hi Sarah… About those YT notifications. I’ve learned that one needs to occasionally turn them off, exit out of the channel, then return and turn it back on. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or something YT does intentionally, but I’ve found this method helpful. I’ve had to do this with your channel several times. BTW, great job on that fabrication design! Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Obviously I got the bell icon clicked and active (only a fool wouldn't) - if there were a way to get the bell connected to my brain, so I got telepathic updates, I would have that too... As for the next episode, I don't really care what you choose to do, as I know what-ever it may be, it will be something I will love watching, because Sarah using her skills and can-do-attitude to make magic happen in her garage is like the best thing on the internet. You do what you find most neccesary for the progress of the build, Sarah - it will be great! Thank you so much for what you do and Stay Awesome!
As Puddin' would say, "It'll hold or it won't." :) I'm one of the 12% as well. Really enjoy your work. It's smart, careful, and capable, well planned and executed. A pleasure to watch someone who never half-asses it.
Okie doke - turned on notifications. I never found it useful since any new video appears in the subscription feed anyway, but didn't realize RUclips actually uses that as a metric. Love how this is going - you put SO much thought into everything, properly engineering the car to handle it's upgraded engine, transmission and capabilities.
Would love to see you do the engine. Next time you speak of it could you go over the specs (HP, Torque, etc )? Would love to see what the rebuild did to those numbers.
I love watching your videos and they commonly appear at the top of my recommended videos, but for you I did something I have never done before. I set the notifications on. Now I know I will never miss any of your videos. 😀 I am really enjoying watching you work on your project Celica. 🙂👍 Also can't wait to see the next episode of Sarah-Master-Welder . 😃
Cool video as usual. For completeness, those driveline angle measurements need to be checked with the full vehicle weight on the suspension. I even used weights to simulate a driver. I found a small digital angle finder with a magnetic side that helped a lot with overhead work. Taking/confirming the engine angle off the front crank pulley using a straight edge can be convenient. Only the slightest of math is required.
Mig welding is like carrying a box down the hall because you want it there. TIG welding is carrying the same box to the same place while juggling and doing cartwheels. Both methods get the box to the end of the hall.
You can weld better than most , your doing great. Thanks for another great video for learning, laughter and fun. Never change, you really kick some A**
Your drive line angle information is incorrect. The axle pinion angle needs to be within 3 degrees of whatever the output shaft angle is. The actual drive shaft can be up to 15-20 degrees and are in off road applications. Love you videos. Awesome job welding.
I'm a part of that 12%. won't miss these vids for the world! Keep up the awesome (yet hard) work
You need to work on your grammar. I read your sentence as if you wouldn’t miss these videos if the channel disappeared.
@GR44N I'm sorry grammar police.
Manners?
@Krunch2020 no. I'm not going analyzing and trolling other people's messages. If no one likes it... move on. Who cares
@@GR44Nit’s a variation of the phrase “I wouldn’t miss that for the world” as in, nothing else in the world would make them want to miss the video.
Thanks! Hi
You turn roadblocks into speed bumps. Replicating the factory setup made so much sense. All this while maintaining your sense of humor.
Because you quoted Wangan Midnight, you're officially became top 3 RUclipsrs to watch.
Your freehand drawing is extremely impressive! Kudos to your art teacher! They really help explain the solutions you are looking to achieve. (I am in the 12% club!) Come on in everybody!

Hey gal, owner of a 74 myself, we’re present AND watching. Keep up the work, you’re helping out more than you know.
In the interests of joining you in inventing new terms, the problems with the cross member were well solutioned.... I look forward to seeing more solutionisation of similar problems when they inevitably arise.

as I like to say, "I cut it twice but it's still too short"! Love watching your show Sarah, esp. your great sense of humour.
The one thing I wanted for my 76 Celica was a decent engine. I was always considering getting an in-line 6 to replace that anemic 20R with all the vacuum hoses.

Your descriptions of the process are really informative, even with the quirky way you relate your conundrums, it makes it easy to understand (and laugh a little.)
Do the engine stuff.
I love the UZ family of engines and seeing you add everything to your custom build will be heavenly.
Thank you Sarah.

Im a part of that 12% enjoying your videos so much that I won’t miss one single video 🤩
Huge fan from Denmark!
Really digging your tech drawings, and the build of course! Great job as usual Sarah!
The u-joing angles also need to include the transmission angle pointing down, and pinion pointing up.
I like seeing you use your fabrication skills and solve a issue without over thinking it. Keep up the great work and try to get more rest.
As a person of the world watching this video about this Celica on the internet, thanks for keeping it entertaining.
I check for your videos of any kind daily since I discovered your channel. This may be the most fascinating build yet. The mix of keeping what’s seen as stock and the many, many modifications to all that won’t be as immediately apparent is turning out to be such a work of art. Keep up the amazingness!
54 years ago today (22 Oct 1969) the Datsun 240Z sportscar was introduced.
Love the custom fabricobbling projects. Always building skills with those. I vote for wiring harness and interior next. Great work!
The fact that you want JIS OEM hardware under the car in a place that nobody will ever see it is why this channel is the best car thing on YT. And yes, I clicked the bell.
That was an impressive amount of measuring, cutting and welding. Next video, let's see the wiring harness installation.
Miss Sarah,

Can’t Wait for this car to be finished it’s gonna wreck everything else!
I absolutely love this project, your part choice, and build style is awesome. Don't ever change ❤
I’d like to see you work on the interior some.
Turn "All Notifications" on. It will help Sarah. Great vid.
I’ve been part of the 12% club for 5 years now. Ever since the Audi 1.8t project. Never ever miss an upload 😁👍🏻

Yuppie, part of the 12%
Appreciate your content. I am a car person who doesn’t have time so I live vicariously through these videos 😊
Great work Sarah, your determination is paying off. 😎👌👍
I make certain to watch every second of your vids. You put so much effort and blood, sweat, tears that I want to give them the respect they deserve.

It is great seeing that Weldmonger TIG kit. I buy most of my Tig stuff from Jody also. His channel Welding Tips and Tricks is amazing.
Any project you work on is 10/10 even if it doesn’t go as planned. Thanks for creating content that I look forward to watching when it gets posted ❤️
Projects going to plan isn't a thing
I have switched on alerts, but this is the only channel I am willing to do that for.

Hi Sarah, love the vids keep welding!
Being a visual person, I’m loving the white board diagrams Sarah👍 Thanks. I can’t wait to see this car run
I appreciate your openness and information. I feel like I'm learning with you. Your videos are fun. Thanks!
Thanks! Love your videos!
12% gang!!! 😊
Nice to be in the top 12 % of something, and doubly nice when it's world class like this channel.
Just the greatest RUclips content creator! 😊❤️ much respect ✊
I never miss a video. 30+ year mechanic and collision tech. I hope watching all your videos helps you make more videos.
I want to see the engine going back together, plus, the longer it sits unassembled the more chance of rust.
If you want to mark a hole then try using a ball bearing. Place the bearing in the hole and then cover it with the metal to be marked. Hit the metal and the bearing will make a centred mark on the reverse.

All notifications engaged.
Mid drive shaft should be the carrier bearing.
I've been one of the 12% for the last 7yrs .... c'mon people! Help a girl out!!

Hello beautiful lady building cars and videoing it for the internet.
Solving problems all day long...you are my favorite "enginenerd"....get it? Keep going young lady. .🤠
Yep, I be in that 12% club!! And your not dumb, you're fun!! And that's what make these videos so enjoyable!
I want to see the wiring. Love the content you provide. This is a great reason why I have notifications on.

Love the video. Hint for Sarah. The automatic punch is adjustable. Twist the knurled portion at the top to change how hard it hits. Hope this helps.
You work on whatever you want Sarah. I am just enjoying the process and taking notes.
As Puddin' would say, "It'll hold or it won't." :)

You're a riot! I absolutely love you! Thank you, for always putting a smile on my face.
I love watching your videos and they commonly appear at the top of my recommended videos, but for you I did something I have never done before. I set the notifications on. Now I know I will never miss any of your videos. 😀 I am really enjoying watching you work on your project Celica. 🙂👍
Also can't wait to see the next episode of Sarah-Master-Welder . 😃
Sarah your channel is one of my top favourites as i love the style and quirkiness that you capture. Keep up the unique style well done 👏
Don't forget the angle at the transmission side has to match the differential side. Plus the u-joins have to be clocked properly to each other.
Sarah, I'm one of the 12%ers. I subscribe to lots of You Tube channels, but I always watch your videos first. Simply stated, I like your style.
Cool video as usual. For completeness, those driveline angle measurements need to be checked with the full vehicle weight on the suspension. I even used weights to simulate a driver. I found a small digital angle finder with a magnetic side that helped a lot with overhead work. Taking/confirming the engine angle off the front crank pulley using a straight edge can be convenient. Only the slightest of math is required.
Mig welding is like carrying a box down the hall because you want it there. TIG welding is carrying the same box to the same place while juggling and doing cartwheels. Both methods get the box to the end of the hall.
U got "Muscles Gurl!" Get it gurl! J
You can weld better than most , your doing great. Thanks for another great video for learning, laughter and fun. Never change, you really kick some A**
Thanks Sarah, start with what ever task you feel like tackling that day.
Your drive line angle information is incorrect. The axle pinion angle needs to be within 3 degrees of whatever the output shaft angle is. The actual drive shaft can be up to 15-20 degrees and are in off road applications. Love you videos. Awesome job welding.
Thanks for explaining what you are doing with drive shaft cheers J
