I was actually surprised that he needed more than a sledgehammer and a pair of pliers to fix anything. This is the guy who had the Fuel Altered-style Grand Cherokee that's now a dragster-style Grand Cherokee, if you remember that. So you know it's quality content.

Large Testicles posted:idk if it technically qualifies as awesome car poo poo but i've been collecting the classic american car ornaments from hallmark since i was like 10 and this year (as far as i know) they started doing imports and i grabbed myself this earlier. Oh, cool! I have a couple Oldsmobile muscle cars from Hallmark already. :sound: indeed. Did they just straight pipe that V10 right out each side? Enos Cabell posted:My dad had a '74 RX-3 and sold it after I was born, and you'd better believe I still give him poo poo about that. Thankfully, my dad never sold his '55 Chevy. Sadly, it's mine now. I could have gone a little longer without getting it, if I'm honest. They *did* sell the '70 Chevelle SS 396, though, and I told him a number of times I was annoyed about that.

poo poo like this, it's amazing. There aren't many youtubers where I'll go through and watch the back catalog but this one is worth it.

Enos Cabell posted:My dad had a '74 RX-3 and sold it after I was born, and you'd better believe I still give him poo poo about that. I had a 1971 RX-2 coupe. The guy that has it now is doing a ground up full resto which I never had the time or money to do so it's in a better place. But if you think I'm selling my GC8 WRX's then let me assure everyone the answer to that is "Not A loving CHANCE"

Oh gently caress yeah. Put a turbo Porsche engine under the floor where the rear seats would be and just have a long flat load floor. Do some kind of lever actuated inboard suspension. What wagon body do you use though? Is that a TSX wagon?

My mechanics posted Part 2 of his 240Z restoration. https://youtu.be/AfNTB1235V8?si=-FuFtBC9zAmuQv8_ Despite the fact that he hadn’t posted on YouTube for 5 months, he’s been doing (basically) daily Patreon vlogs. The amount of work he has done is absolutely staggering.

It reminds me of another youtuber (https://www.youtube.com/@OddTinkering) I watch that does restorations of all sorts of junk but a lot of video game consoles also. No talking, just captions and making poo poo new.  It was very satisfying watching all the dents disappear.

Sudden Loud Noise posted:My mechanics posted Part 2 of his 240Z restoration. Some of the bodywork repair is stuff that would expect from stuff like Tyrell's workshop when doing Lamborghini concourse grade restorations, not for a Nissan. MyMechanics is one of the few "item repair" youtuber i can watch without feeling cheated at the result (a lot of them just disassemble the parts, chuck in a vat of rust remover and paint an hand of generic tool black).

He’s shared a few great stories about having to explain to other body work guys whom he’s asked for input from that he’ll be spending the next full week hammering and welding the imperfections of the lip on a Nissan hood instead of spending 20 minutes with some bondo.

Not up on body filler tech, and perhaps my comments are out of date...but when I watch other shows where they basically layer on an entire layer of filler to "make her straight" before paint I cringe.

Looks like it's finally happening, and the N Vision 74 is going into production. Sadly it's a monkeys paw situation, only 100 will be built and 30 are reserved for internal use. https://jalopnik.com/hyundai-n-vision-74-ev-70-street-legal-examples-sale-1851107872

It's probably not that complicated, they're Ford UK promo shots. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-3968112/Ford-Granada-Scorpio-just-1-325-miles-set-collector-s-item.html quote:Ford has recreated a famous police car scene shot 30 years ago to the day. The iconic picture published on 24 November 1986 featured a patrol car-liveried RS200 supercar pulling over a Sierra RS Cosworth (like the one you can buy lower down).
