    I would have been crying after seeing the broke drive shaft. And with the broken motor and trans mounts and the broken drive shaft? That engine and trans were pushed back hard. Hopefully there isn't any deeper engine damage. I do love your optimism. I'm here for the ride and am looking forward to the next episode. And don't forget to wear safety glasses especially when under the car.

      It was an opening moment for sure seeing all of that stuff broken. But like you said I'm optimistic! I have to be to keep a project like this moving forward!

      considering how it moved, most probably the cylinders are scratched by pistons moving slightly with a non-directional movement or with it but with additional force pushing them into an angle, and the worst part is that the pistons are now also damaged with the connecting rod (and the bearing within the piston for connecting rod)

    Definitely worth the watch!! I don’t think I’ve seen anybody fix a car so damaged telling by how you work you really know your stuff! Which makes this channel even better! I like that you break the build down in detail without it being boring and super informative! Amazing man keep up the good work!

    Oh man. You are brave. Can't wait for this series to unfold... I learnt so much about the internal combustion engine from your last series. I have a feeling that this series would be even better. We are going to learn so much about how cars are really made, and how to fix them. Seriously, your videos should be on a auto mechanic school's reference list. Excellent content.

    • @garagehemmelergmbh7934
      @garagehemmelergmbh7934 5 місяців тому

      @ShawnzeyRacing I think most car ppl focus on the content more than on music. In my opinion it only distracts. Look at the vids from M539. The way he cuts his vids is similar to yours. But without music. I find it more appealing. Very snappy.
      And please do us all a favor and keep buying cars we as normal ppl can afford or at least can relate to. Small channels get big, and they end up buying lambos, Ferraris, McLarens and so on. Not as interesting as affordable cars.
      Keep up the great work and good luck growing your channel. And be transparent with your budget. It's always interesting to see if a project made sense from a financial perspective. And how many views are necessary to justify a build like this. When do you break even, when are you able to make profit...
      I'm always happy to see a good youtuber make profit and is able to earn a decent income. We are here to support good channels, but don't forget us along the way as you grow. 😉

Thanks for watching I'm glad your here :)

    @Rockport1911 7 місяців тому

    Thats a lotta damage:) No wonder it got abandoned for 3 years. Probabably got held onto ti investigate whatever happened to it. This would have went straight to partout/ the crusher in alot of other cases. Even getting 5k worth of parts from this is going to be a struggle.
    That sawzalled middle console is odd, looking for a transmission park override on this is useless as its all electronic I think. Someone had fun a t the wreckers...

    • @ShawnzeyRacing
      @ShawnzeyRacing  7 місяців тому +1

      Definitely had some sort of investigation! And I definitely agree that I think they were looking for a neutral switch as they put a bolt in some random holes lol. Funny enough the driveshaft was broken anyway so they didn't need to do that...

  • @fisshuman

    Damn dude. That's a big ordeal.
    I would cry if I were the one who bought it thinking the engine is going to be fine and be the most valuable thing on the car and then to see it rust inside the valve cover.
    At this point, I suggest buying another wreck supra with slightly less frame damage or.... You could also buy engine failure one because i think that supra still have a good part with insanely low mileage, basically brand new engine part.
    It's just a suggestion tho, I don't mind you didn't listen to it, if I were to be honest, I'm hoping you just go along with it and fix everything without a donor chassis, that would be sick Before and After Footage 😂

    • @ShawnzeyRacing
