Amazing to see that the anti roll bar bushes and also the brake line mounting clips are exactly the same as what is used on my 2006 X Trail!! (if a design works don't change it eh).

    I'm willing to bet there's automotive engineers in Japan that's watching this with satisfaction. You turned this mass produced product into an example of kinetic art. You didn't have to grind all the edges, or have a pristine powder coat or paint on every single part, nor make whole parts from scratch! But you did it just because if it's worth doing it's worth doing well.
    This restoration is pure therapy to behold.
    In fact this is not a restoration, it's a resurrection!

Even when I try my best it is never a solution that seems to last as long as the original. I believe this build is proof that one can and should strive to make refinements even on a car from Japan.

    I think the part that impressed me the most technically was the rebuild of the two ball joints with completely new parts. Machining the two of those required some impressive precision and skill and you made it look so simple. But I was so much more excited at 33:02 when the lock nuts showed up. I loved the video on the second channel showing how you made your own and it was great to see that technique show up again here.

Every part scrutinized and optimized, no shortcuts, no compromises. This car will be like all of his other projects: better than it ever was new. Your work is consistently stunning and joyous to watch. Thank you and keep up the astonishing work.

    Don't listen to the dopamine junkies demanding more content, you earned your subscribers because of the unmatched excellence in your restorations. That is why you are the only restoration channel I am subscribed to. I can't even watch any of the other channels after seeing how much better your work is than theirs. Keep up the incredible work, and I'm happy to wait however long it takes to execute practical perfection! ❤

    This car is going to be an absolute work of art, a museum piece, when you are done. It will be absolutely gorgeous. I would be so afraid to drive it. I wouldn't want to get the undercarriage dirty. That would last all of 10 minutes and then I would drive it everywhere. I can't wait to see what's next.

The way you carefully approached each step, balancing precision and passion, made it clear this was more than just a repair-it was an art form. Your dedication and love for the craft were inspiring, and it reminded me of the beauty in restoring something with care and skill. Thank you for sharing that moment. A true masterclass.
