Sarah on the Ranger: "I dont wanna half-ass it" Oh c'mon girl, we know you NEVER half-ass anything. You always go above and beyond with EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH!!
One of the best tool investments you can make is a quality pair of hogring pliers, otherwise you'll get carpal tunnel in your wrists after one reupolstering job
1:29,,, “Vape cloud intensifies”, totally awesome, best way to get serious about keeping viewers interested is not to take the car stuff too seriously.
Bolt on jobs that work out are always satisfying. And regarding what you record and such, yes the content is part of it but its you the person most of us like to watch and listen to.
Sarah, absolutely love love love what you've done to Gump so far. Definitely what Japan should have given the US market. You're doing a great job on ALL of your projects. And don't beat yourself up trying to please anybody. All real car people knows there is a lot of jobs on project cars that is not fun and boring but essential to a build. Again you're doing a great job.
Hi Sarah, I love your attention to cleanliness and detail. You should be proud of your OCD, it has made you a UA-cam Star. All of your vehicles are immaculate and well maintained.
Great to see that the folding and reclining rear seats still worked when you swapped the foam and covers. Proves that hard work and dedication gets results. Thank you Sarah for doing these experimental swaps.
From the suspension to the seats. How friggin’ awesome the detail you go into and that you figure out *everything* about the stuff you want to do. Soooo cool.
I enjoy your videos; nothing's "half-arsed" about them. I hope YOU enjoyed the fruits of your labours with many hours of road tripping your Forester Gump.
Such a minor detail but the piano black definitely upped the game and are perfect with those RECARO seats. Gotta appreciate the Lego strategy for car parts.
I’d forgotten how much I hated hog rings until I watched this!! My apprenticeship in a Ford workshop in the UK 25 + years ago involved daily replacing seat foam and trims on MK6 Escorts. We used to open the old rings rather than cutting them. We also discovered that very small cable ties (called zip ties in the USA I think) worked just as well and were much easier to fit.
Timidly: "Hope you enjoyed this..." Well, DUH!!! This is turning out absolutely beautiful... Your dedication and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. It's very satisfying to watch. Did you find a 6 speed yet?
I bought some trim once....I was 18, it was the 80's....I was stationed in W. Germany and it was legal......OK that was a lot to share. If I have my druthers I'll choose the small butt plug option for the initial experience 😜.
Little tip when removing badging, use either a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the glue. The badges come off a lot easier and you will not damage them if you ever want to reuse them. Love your videos, keep up the great work. You crack me up.
Ok Sarah… we’ve to talk! Saturday I ran my usual maintenance on my commuter, oil change, air filter, the works…. I’m finished, look at my engine compartment and, and , and START CLEANING IT WITH A TOOTHBRUSH. After a while I stop, thank Sarah for putting that crap in my mind and continue….. so a 20 mins affair turned in to a 2 hour project. But w/o honking my own horn, my ATS engine is clean! 😁 you see? That happens…
Fantastic job. That really looks amazing. One tip for the future, when removing emblems, use fishing line to cut the tape instead of prying the emblem. Then use a 3M Stripe Off Wheel (part number 07498) to remove the remaining tape/glue. It works so well and is great from removing tape pinstripes. You can get the 3M wheel from Amazon for about $35.
Great video. As a former owner of a 2003 WRX wagon (5 speed), I’m really digging on the Forester STI you’ve created. Subaru should have been making them this way from the point they dropped the WRX wagon, imho.
Your commitment is by far one of best on utube you are one smart woman,just don’t ever despair on what you do,keep doing what your doing in life 👍👍👍😎😎😎
For what it's worth, and for everyone's future reference, there is a hog ring removal tool. I used one when I reupholstered our old Forester. Saved me from having to buy new rings. Didn't really save much time over just cutting them, though. FYI, doing upholstery sucks! LOL My fingernails hurt just remembering it.
Another classic Sarah video; amazing production quality, great technical content, and super attention to detail. Make sure to thumbs up and smash that subscribe button!
Bravo Sarah, Bravo. Not many people know just how hard it is to work with seat coverings. Not easy by any explanation. But you seemed to have pulled that off flawlessly. Thumbs Up!
Another fun one! I like the ones where you're working on cars. I think having your seperate channel for car reviews is a splendid idea. Thanks again for all your hard work producing top notch videos.
When I remove badges, I use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive and then cut through it with dentil floss. The trim removal tool made me nervous too...
Congrats on a pro quality job. The interior is outstanding. I have been discussing remote video editing with a tech guru, no hard drive handoff required still it's a dedicated job.
The interior makes the whole car kick. Not a Subaru fan, but what you've done with the inside this far is great. be sticking around to see the complete finish inside and out.
Gump is looking sweet! Don't stress about content quality - just film what makes you happy. I, personally, love the vlogs & 'cars & coffee' & event type content, but that seems few & far between. I'll take work, reviews, road trips, nerding-out-garage-science Sarah... whatever. Cheers.
You mention not half assing things, and you definitely don't, but it makes me want to watch you tackle a weekend project completely half assing EVERYTHING!
Love the attention to detail! You have a great eye for getting it right and making it look like it’s from the factory. Those seats all look brand new and drum tight. 👍🏻
Tip on dealing with foam, hit your neighborhood thrift store and find an electric carving knife. Makes super clean and easy to maneuver cuts in foam. Someone on another forum suggested cutting badges off with fishing line. I'm getting ready to deal with the badges on my Taco and had set aside some guitar strings (used to cut the glass implosion shields off the CRTs in the glass cockpits I made back in the day using piano wire) but fishing line seems less likely to scratch something up.
More VLOGS? Yay!! 6 speed swap!!! Woot and a twin turbo 6cylinder boxer upgrade? Maybe? Yes? Time for a Sarah tuned Sube to have the oomph to make the Urus fear palpable.
Sarah on the Ranger: "I dont wanna half-ass it"
Oh c'mon girl, we know you NEVER half-ass anything. You always go above and beyond with EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH!!
As someone who has been doing upholstery for 18yrs, thanks for saying what we do is not easy.
Black headliner would really set the interior off !!!! Always an amazing job.
Love your humor especially your lack of filter. Don't ever change.
One of the best tool investments you can make is a quality pair of hogring pliers, otherwise you'll get carpal tunnel in your wrists after one reupolstering job
I like how Sarah actually gets multiple things done in each video instead of doing 2000 cliffhangers like all the other UA-camrs😂
The bolstering test is priceless and fun . ☺
I'm more impressed with the upholstery work than the mechanical stuff!
Sarah, your dedication to doing things right never ceases to amaze me.
I did not realize you plan to 6 speed the Gump! that is awesome!!
You are so industrious and dedicated! That interior is sick! Plus a 6spd is so cool.
Holy upholstery cleaning tracks on that rear seat upright!! That was impressive! Gump is looking great!
1:29,,, “Vape cloud intensifies”, totally awesome, best way to get serious about keeping viewers interested is not to take the car stuff too seriously.
It is such a pleasure to see someone do a proper work. Have work ethic in what they do. Absolutely refreshing!
“I bought some trim” with a smirk. Nice!
You have to be so patient to do this. Both the work itself and waiting for parts. Kudos.
Yes, very patient indeed 😬
Bolstering Test is your signature move! Don’t downplay it!
Bolt on jobs that work out are always satisfying. And regarding what you record and such, yes the content is part of it but its you the person most of us like to watch and listen to.
Exactly! Well said!
Looks amazing🤠🤠🤠 touchless is a huge timesaver!!!
Interior looks great. Awesome job!!!

Great detailing Sarah, I agree those little touches make to difference, I love your attention to detail, Gump is looking awesome. 😊👍
Another Awesome vid 👍, that bolstering test, WOW 👍👍👍 great job!! 🔥
"I need a bigger shop". I knew this statement would arrive, but I never expected it this soon!! LOL!!!!
I have my Forester for months, only this time I realized back seat is reclinable! Thanks a lot! 😊😊😊
Videos like this are why we love you
Hi Sarah, I love your attention to cleanliness and detail. You should be proud of your OCD, it has made you a UA-cam Star. All of your vehicles are immaculate and well maintained.
Detail is unmeasurable. There is not anything you do to your cars that isn't stupid clean. Great work girl, as always.
I love your patience and dedication. You certainly love what you do. RESPECT!
Great to see that the folding and reclining rear seats still worked when you swapped the foam and covers. Proves that hard work and dedication gets results. Thank you Sarah for doing these experimental swaps.
I appreciate your excellent attention to detail. You do outstanding work!
The seats and badges look awesome.
From the suspension to the seats. How friggin’ awesome the detail you go into and that you figure out *everything* about the stuff you want to do. Soooo cool.
I enjoy your videos; nothing's "half-arsed" about them. I hope YOU enjoyed the fruits of your labours with many hours of road tripping your Forester Gump.
WOW!! That looks great!!! Well done, young lady.
What a difference, given Gump a fresh look. Ps congrats on the increasing numbers on your second channel. Can’t wait for the next review!
Second channel ? what am I missing?!
@@jody024 Look up Give it the Beans on here, new more serious review channel
What second channel?
@@smee1969 It’s called “Give it the Beans”
My names forester gump. But people call me...
S-T-I (read it in clint eastwood voice)
Such a minor detail but the piano black definitely upped the game and are perfect with those RECARO seats. Gotta appreciate the Lego strategy for car parts.

"Measure once, cut twice." Amusing.
Sarah, thank you for the bolstering test at 11:52! Seriously - outstanding job on this Forester (Subaru, are you watching?). Carry on!
Timidly: "Hope you enjoyed this..."
Well, DUH!!!
This is turning out absolutely beautiful... Your dedication and attention to detail never ceases to amaze me. It's very satisfying to watch.
Did you find a 6 speed yet?

Honestly - I think you should do PURE detailing videos as well. You have a gift (obsession). 😃
Little tip when removing badging, use either a heat gun or hair dryer and heat up the glue. The badges come off a lot easier and you will not damage them if you ever want to reuse them. Love your videos, keep up the great work. You crack me up.
I love going back to these old videos of yours, yes everything you do is legit. You are bad ass, thanks for all the effort Sarah!

I’m finished, look at my engine compartment and, and , and START CLEANING IT WITH A TOOTHBRUSH.

It really looks great! I'm a fan of piano black… I admire your perseverence…
I was wondering what PNO black was! LOL
Fantastic job. That really looks amazing.
One tip for the future, when removing emblems, use fishing line to cut the tape instead of prying the emblem. Then use a 3M Stripe Off Wheel (part number 07498) to remove the remaining tape/glue. It works so well and is great from removing tape pinstripes. You can get the 3M wheel from Amazon for about $35.
Using waxed dental floss works even better, or even an old credit card slipped behind it. I collect car badges at the Junkyard sometimes.
11:50 that eye roll lmao
You're doing a fantastic job with this transformation, those seats look incredible in there.
I actually feel happy when you do something that makes you happy. You really are a gifted car geek.
Great video. As a former owner of a 2003 WRX wagon (5 speed), I’m really digging on the Forester STI you’ve created. Subaru should have been making them this way from the point they dropped the WRX wagon, imho.
SARAH!!!!! (Looks great!)
There is nothing you can't accomplish! I'm in awe- from complete rewiring to breaking down seats to reskin them. Keep it up.
The things this woman takes on is amazing 👏 Great job Sarah!
Interior looks great, and the attention to the exterior badges.
Looking forward to the fender flares.
Your commitment is by far one of best on utube you are one smart woman,just don’t ever despair on what you do,keep doing what your doing in life 👍👍👍😎😎😎

This is turning into a forever car!

Sarah is obviously able to break down a car into atoms... Great Job! Greetings from Czechoslovakia! (Slovak in Czech)...
Bravo Sarah, Bravo. Not many people know just how hard it is to work with seat coverings. Not easy by any explanation. But you seemed to have pulled that off flawlessly. Thumbs Up!
Super great mods! The interior upgrades look awesome
Love that you take your shoes off to avoid another round of cleaning!
Sarah's excitement levels = 11/10!
Love the interior upgrades and thank you for the impromptu bolster wiggle :)
Another fun one! I like the ones where you're working on cars. I think having your seperate channel for car reviews is a splendid idea. Thanks again for all your hard work producing top notch videos.
Looks great Sarah! I saw James May looking approvingly at your cleaning/installations. well done!
That random old Windows startup sound effect was a big time warp for me. Nice touch.
"That's a really small butt plug." 🤣 🤣 I love your sense of humor and your channel. Keep being you Sarah, love your all content. 💖
Love the bolstering 😍
The interior looks awesome and I’m enjoying the gump series. Also looking forward to more MR2.
Awesome video Sarah! Nice Subaru forester sti update...the car looks better aesthetically already...all the best with the rest of the build!
When I remove badges, I use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive and then cut through it with dentil floss. The trim removal tool made me nervous too...
ohhhh piano black dash doodles... and always dirty! yeyy!
SWEEEEET! Love that look! Gets 6 penguins for sure!!!!!
You are bad ass girl, much respect and admiration for your dedication to hard work and your love for your cars
Sarah like always, you amaze me me with your ingenuity, skill and intelligence. Really well done. Kuddos
I love your attention to detail. These are cool embellishments. The Gump interior looks amazing. 😁 👌
I love how thorough you are.

What can't this girl do!?

Of course we want to see the bolstering test! Lol
Seriously impressive work! Subscribing!!
I'm so in love with your forester right now!😍😍😍!Well done Sarah!
That looks amazing!! And I'm definitely impressed by the Lego phenomena. Hopefully other manufacturers head this way. 👍

Another pure awesome video, thank you Sarah. The new interior looks class, wish it was mine now :)
You are amazing! The seats look great. Keep up the hard work.
Amazing. What a cool project and result so far. Deep respect for your wide skill set.
I’m in endless awe of your engineering competence, attention to detail and determination. 🤩
Looks amazing!!! I love your attention to detail and persistence!!!!!!!!!
More VLOGS? Yay!! 6 speed swap!!! Woot and a twin turbo 6cylinder boxer upgrade? Maybe? Yes? Time for a Sarah tuned Sube to have the oomph to make the Urus fear palpable.
It looks amazing! Your attention to detail, is one of the top reasons you're my favorite channel.
The Recaro interior is amazing.
Looks awesome ! Nice mod.
