    One thing I wanted to point out that I noticed right away was the the passenger seat bolster was actually pretty worn. Think about that for a second. 99% of these cars you would only see the drivers seat showing all the wear but in this car, they BOTH rode in and enjoyed this car together(A LOT). Pretty cool story all around. Thank you LHT!

      Yea. I was so happy to see they both use it. I’m guilty of keeping my cars mint for the next guy. When we should enjoy them.

    As a side, with all the detailing, engine, and suspension work in a compressed time - get and wear more disposable gloves!

    Best car story on UA-cam. I have an Fk8 here in Australia but my dad is a Toyota guy, a lot like Bill , driving a 2006 Toyota Celica ZR with 160,000 km . He hits Vvtl-i( sorry Honda guys ) He’s just turned 84 and still takes it out once a week to keep it all ticking nicely. LHT are the best Car channel on UA-cam 👍
