Guy buys a totaled GT3 for about $160k and tries to DIY the repairs. In the 3rd video they're just starting to address the actual structural damage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aluFVHFjp2U I was thinking about doing something similar, just with a Cayman or a more pedestrian 911. You can get a nice unscratched one and then worry about driving and polishing it, or something that's already been wrecked or had an engine blow up or something and just send it. Curious how it works out for a GT3. It's one thing to cobble together a Cayman for like $15k and drive it into the ground, it's another to get wrecked GT3 for ten times as much and then be stuck with a six-figure car that a prospective buyer will want to examine under a microscope before buying. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Mar 15, 2023 |

He's also doing up a Gallardo he bought of a track day company that had sat for years... The nice thing about Mat is that he actually churns out the content and gets a ton done in each video. No milking a car project endlessly.

It's a shame he had to sear himself with the taint of Tavarish and Samcrac.

Yeah I watched one of his videos about ancient wrecked M5 but couldn’t stand his video style. Also he seemed like he didn’t know what he was doing? But maybe that’s part of it?

But maybe that’s part of it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JKqh68-UNQ&t=935s so seems a realistic preview of what would happen if I tried it  E: watched through the rest of the Cayman series because, as I mentioned, I was thinking of doing something similar. The total cost including the 18k car was ~45k gbp. It does include some dumb upgrades like CF and the wing. Still there are a bunch of Caymans below 50k which haven't been hacked together by an amateur that I'd rather get instead. And of course this cost doesn't include the garage space or the time which had to be a lot, so I don't think that's exactly the path to success. E2: Lol the Murcielago lifehack of ordering Ferrari valve shims to save money. Same for the head bolt tool. One downside with his channel is that the audience seems almost entirely non-technical and the comments just jerk him off for being inspirational and what not vs something like robot cantina where everyone is nerding out with suggestions like quote:I would suggest advancing your injection timing. EGT is based on how much fuel is still burning as it leaves the cylinder (wasted). So maybe advance the injection, and ESPECIALLY copy the work of SPEED OF AIR when they dimpled the pistons. Their patent says it strengthens the boundary layer on the piston, and improves flame front travel throughout the air/ fuel mix. mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 10:40 on Mar 18, 2023 |

Eric from I Do Cars appears to have gotten his hands on one of either CT's or kastein's engines. "There's nothing left to break!" He has no background on it, and he doesn't sell Subaru parts. Some impressive carnage that looks like either running out of oil (and driving until it popped) or one hell of a money shift.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NynVITCe2zg randomidiot fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Apr 16, 2023 |

This isn’t automotive, but it is vintage machinery - I was following the tow of the Keewatin today and found this channel while looking for video of it. A drone operator has been filming ships passing Port Huron on the St. Clair River where it meets Lake Huron. There’s hundreds of videos. The Great Lakes have some of the oldest cargo ships still operating commercially in the world, as old as the 40s, some still steam powered. Keewatin, built 1907. Museum ship that is being relocated. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hx_XRwCpgLY&pp=ygUIa2Vld2F0aW4%3D Alpena, built 1942, hauling bulk cement. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sv9ifd0QZKU Arthur M Anderson, built in the 1950s, the ship that was following the Edmund Fitzgerald when it disappeared. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zo0hCiMhld0 Lee A. Tregurtha, 1942 oil tanker heavily modified into a bulk freighter. It displays WWII campaign ribbons on the bridge wing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2sIl-29QX2Y St Marys Challenger, built 1906. Sailed under its own power for over a hundred years before being converted into a barge. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JPX9aV3U2dE&pp=ygUTc3QgbWFyeXMgY2hhbGxlbmdlcg%3D%3D

Found this channel, seems like a channel that's just about to take off, 20k subs at the moment of writing. He must be from near Fitzee (a favorite youtuber) since he says "graghe" instead of garage. And does similar stuff, lots of old cars, welding cutting welding cutting.... https://www.youtube.com/@CarterAutoRestyling

Having spent the better part of a year restoring the body on the '65 Econoline, I can really, really relate to the footage of him attempting to locate & cut all of the spotwelds to remove rusty bits. I am never, ever going through that again.

Anecdotally, however, my wife's Yoko all-seasons and my all-terrains feel way loving smoother and quieter than Michelin's stiff-rear end, loud-rear end "sport touring" tires ever were, so maybe roundness isn't everything Michelin. Maybe stick to rating restaurants or something.
