I just had to tell you that I love watching your videos I used to have a 74 Celica just like that mine was canary yellow I miss it so much that was a great car
Sarah, I can honestly say that you have never made a boring video. Part of why so many people watch you is your obsessiveness with getting things done correctly. And your version of correctly means as period spec as possible, your attention to detail is fantastic, and people appreciate that for itself. The fact that you just don't let the little things go. Whether it's cleaning an area of a vehicle that no one but you will ever see once it's all put back together, going through electrical systems wire by wire, and even when you're talking out loud to yourself so we get insight into your thought processes. It's all of the above things that you do that make us die hard fans of yours keep coming back.
Sarah, I am of the opinion that most of us viewers watch your videos to see how you tackle the small details. People say “Don’t sweat the small stuff”, but if one wants to do a proper ‘restomod’ one has to sweat the small stuff. You are consistently showing the work that goes into doing the job properly by sweating the small stuff. I thank you for that.
Some people have no idea the amount of time and effort that goes into your videos. This isn’t snap your fingers stuff here. We appreciate the effort you put forward into each one. Besides, you make this fun. Hello to Angel who came to help out. Helps not having to be a one woman army all the time! Press on Sarah. We care.❤
People can have pretty unrealistic expectations. As a small-time content creator, I can appreciate the work that goes into being your own film crew. Doing this for a living must be pretty stressful. I just do it as a side gig.
Helpful hint: when you're slicing out a square (like your notches), drill a {whatever diameter} hole for the corners - then cut into them. Nicer appearance, and no stress risers in the corner which can crack later.
I was going to make a similar comment. If you drill the corner holes big enough, you can drop your jigsaw / air saw blade in there, for some really neat cuts.
Compliments on your camera placements in order to show us as much of the intricate details as possible of your tasks in cramped quarters. That must take some serious planning and a lot of time. It is appreciated. 👏 Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Hey Sara, don't worry about the boring parts of your builds being boring! Your humor and your in-depth description of what and why you are doing something the way that you are, is both entertaining and veery interesting! This is one of the reason we watch you! Loved this video! You are doing a great job!! Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻😁
We all know your process, no shortcuts, content wise just do whatever works for you, pretty sure the majority of us are here for the full story of a car build. ❤
Headunit sounds great, just sounds like it needs a bit of DeOxit on the volume/tuner contacts. Pretty easy to do, should be able to pop the knobs off and get enough in there to clean those contacts without disassembly. Finally, my experience with restoring 70's Japanese Technics hi-fi comes in handy.
Shin, used for locating Furniture in the dark. You are directly responsible for my deep dive in to my HotRod. A car I received after my father passed away a few years ago. Taking on tasks I typically wouldn't. Thank you.
Even in the midst of all the car building, you still fastidiously take the time to put fun stuff in your videos -- like the mock newscast look, complete with crawls!! Stellar job, Sarah!
Thanks for keeping it real and showing just how much really goes into doing a Resto/Swap. It'll be SO much more satisfying when it's finished and you're blasting Radar Love while blasting down the road.
As a long term watcher , start of MR2 , I can say you have never made a bad video Not once The standards are other worldly Appreciate all the efforts , blood sweat and sushi ❤
Kudos to you for staying motivated and knocking out all the little stuff. A lot of builders will cobble stuff together to get it running, to hear the exhaust note etc because it helps them stay motivated, otherwise the mundane little tasks like endless wiring, weatherstrip, lights etc just wears them down and hey become disinterested and often a project can get sidelined for a period of time due to this.
Congrats on carving a social media nitch that is supported by your interests and talent and hopefully compensates you at the high level you earn and deserve. As a result all your viewers are rewarded with being able to watch an entertaining and interesting person that seems sincere and focused on what they do and produce.
I’m really loving this Celica build as my car in high school was a 73 Celica fully loaded that was purchased used from a Toyota corporate manager. If that car could only talk it had plenty of stories to tell if you get the drift. Living in the 70’s was the best of times. Really appreciate the content, Sarah! 👍
I'm watching from Western Australia. Your videos are so entertaining, hilarious and informative. I love the Celica project, my friend had the "mini Mustang" hatchback version and we took an epic trip down to Margaret River wine country in my 20's and these videos brings back great memories. And you inspire me to get on with my 1972 Datsun 510 which has languished in the garage in peices for 17 years. Thanks Sarah! Your work ethic is appreciated on so many levels. P.S. : Some subscriber in the States should buy you an air compressor for your shop. Or I will. Somehow.
0:46 Dented in tweeter dome, you can try a vacuum pull. First get the vacuum cleaner hose over it, then toggle the vacuum cleaner on and off for just less than a second. Only a little at a time to prevent the vacuum cleaner from ripping it right out.
FYI, people talking to themselves is a sign of smartness, not craziness. Wonderful project! I have always dreamed of an early Celica, since my first car was the first version of Corolla. I wish you singular fortitude to carry your project to the finish!

My hopes and prayers you finally get your barnominium built. The costs of storage bins must be annoying. It would be nice to have Gump and the rest within eyesight every day. Storage of a variety of necessary equipment.........less time wasted dropping what your doing and hopping in a car. 🤞
Very impressive improvisation on the radiator. Losing track of parts? You're not alone there. I've spent many an hour (or more) looking for something I put away in a special place so I wouldn't lose it. Looking forward to the next step(s).
As a fellow aircraft mechanic, I made my own aluminum adapter plates when I upgraded my Subaru’s door speakers. Along with dynamat (Noico brand) it made an incrdible difference as I went with 6.5” instead of the stock 5.25”.
Huge older gear head here, I'm 58. I love old BBC 1970s muscle cars , old Mopar, and new CT5V Blackwings ETC...... but I have to say this Celica is one of my favorite builds ever! Imagine the drivers car this is going to be, a complete Beast of a car for sure, amazing build!!! 💯🔥💪🇺🇲
Details probably no one else noticed, when you put the image in the "TV", 70 's console TV for the Celica, 90's "modern TV for the MR2. Very clever and creative editing. Keep it up, your stuff is very entertaining.
Sarah, when you combine audio channels, you should use a resistor network, unless the head unit has a resistor network, or equivalent built into the unit. Mono from two independent speaker outputs can blow up the output driver on your radio. Some manufacturers suggest using the two positives to sum mono. There are some manufacturers that make dual voice coil loudspeakers that allow each discrete speaker channel to connect to its own voice coil.
I'm also concerned about wiring 3 speakers in parallel to two output channels. I'm not sure there's an easy option to do it properly. Ideally, I would run a separate amplifier in bridged mode to get left and right signals safely into one speaker. Dual voice coils should not have different signals driving them. The voicecoils are mechanically coupled together, so varying electrical drive signals would end up interfering with each other.
Finally got caught up on this build! What an amazing job you are doing with it! Especially the wiring. It's always been the hardest part of anything I've restored and you make it look easy! Not in the amount of work but how well you understand it. I happened on your channel when the video of you picking up your gram's ranger and I've been binging ever since!
Most rewarding SnT build to watch since bringing Dos and Teeter Tot back from the dead. And I mean dead. 🌸 Getting the RA21 engine bay painted will be the most satisfying effing thing ever.

When you are mounting the speakers, you should use damping matt, all around doors to dampen them from vibration. They are stickers (rubber) to buy for that everywhere. Dramatically helps the sound.
You know what Sarah? One day I will find all those things I put somewhere "Perfect". No way I'll forget where I put these! Once a week at least. I feel for you.

To help cover the cost of speakers. Because quality tunes are important in a 70's ride.
10am somewhere in western Siberia... Having a cup of coffee with an oatmeal cookie and watching new Sarah's video. Good start of day for me 😊
Almost 11PM in Sapporo, Japan...sipping a little Nikka whisky and watching the new S-n-T, too... Nice end to my day.

+1 on the DeOxit... it brought my Sansui G-9000 and other various electronic gear back to life, pure gold as far as I'm concerned.

Silver sharpies are the best. We used them to mark battery part numbers at the parts store. Worked great and high visibility.

Should consider putting some sound deadener in the door to help with the acoustics and harmonic vibrations created by road noise ✌️👌👌
Already has it
Sarah, as previously commented, please don't ever stop doing what you do. Don't ever change!
Thank you for splainin' what's hapnin.
Those old-school hand crank windows warm my heart. This is going to be a sweet ride! Thanks Sarah!!

Your use of SAE and Metric plus "aluminium" helps your followers outside of the US.

Mono from two independent speaker outputs can blow up the output driver on your radio. Some manufacturers suggest using the two positives to sum mono.

This. Definitely need to confirm this head unit can be used this way. You could end up destroying the output amp stages.
I'm also concerned about wiring 3 speakers in parallel to two output channels. I'm not sure there's an easy option to do it properly. Ideally, I would run a separate amplifier in bridged mode to get left and right signals safely into one speaker.
