    There has been a business opportunity I've been trying to press my way into for a couple years that finally came to fruition. I've taken on a position for a company that consumes over half my week alongside 3 videos a week on this channel. You're going to get to see all my work here soon for this company but I don't want to say too much in the meantime. The only reason I bring it up is that if you're ever curious as to why I may not be present in some processes like today as much as I could be... it's not because I don't want to be. I just don't have the time right now. All of you and I owe it to Randall for putting in this work so we can keep making massive progress and have content to upload so often. Show Randall some love on instagram for me @randalllpullen (3 L's) also TikTok @Randallpullen for some fire videos (2 L's on the tok)

      I’d rather see the car just left original in most areas and restored to as new condition
      Obv yeah the engine and driveline got nuts on, but it’s a 97 car, I just don’t get the appeal of putting parts or a dash from another car that doesn’t belong in it

      @@CameronAlford he's probably one of these imbeciles that thinks using a donor car to restore not that exact year and model car is sac religious. Which is just absurd especially when you're so transparent that building and modifying cars is what this channel is all about, keep up the good work dude! I got my 2005 blob eye sti in Platinum Silver built by good speed performance based off your videos and mentioned you to them!

      @@TheHDInstinct Without getting overly defensive of a project like this there are fewer and fewer of these cars on the road. As an owner of a 99 WRX I know the struggles of keeping the older stuff running, just takes a bit of effort finding crashed cars instead of running and driving ones BUT fully understand why he is doing this.

      I think what I originally wrote explains itself. I’ve already done everything you’re doing to this car to my first coupe.
      Dash swaps suck.
      Dash swapping is just a lazy way to swap a first gen.
      And no “Cole T” you don’t know anything about me. I’ve already done this swap before. I also used an 05 STi donor car. But my car still has the proper dashboard. And functional AC with an original uncut firewall.
      I get that you’re a fan and wanna white knight for Cameron. But you sound ridiculous jumping to that conclusion without any basis.
