As someone who has worked on cars and bikes for many years I can really appreciate the hundreds of hours you must of put in to complete this project. It's nice that its all wrapped up into a bitesize video but it doesn't do justice to all the preparation work you must of done especially with the bodywork. Well done fantastic job
Definitely second that! Truly a jack of all trades - not one thing he didn't do himself, and all to a really good standard too. Much respect 👏👍😎

Yes, this is A LOT of work.
Bro I can’t believe it only took you 17 minutes & 33 seconds to do all that work. Absolutely outstanding 👏🏻
it definitely took him weeks or months to restore the car not under half an hour

@@marvin3980 dude he is a master craftsman. It would not take him months to fix this little car. Speak for yourself.
@@NoName-cn3cp I don't want to make this rude but restoring a car is not something that doable in 17 minutes thought It might not take months, I'm positive it would take hours to days to fix the car
Hands down one of the best car restoration channels on UA-cam! Man your work is immaculate! Keep up the good work brother!
Guy is the Picasso of cars
Mate this is brilliant, please keep the channel at this level, don't go crazy like all the rest and start building twin turbo Lamborghini's. I wanna see real world restos and this channel is perfect at just keeping it real. Love it!!!

Thank you for repairing the Starlet GT, which I rarely see running in Japan anymore. As a Japanese person who knew about those days, I appreciate
Still see them running around in New Zealand.
Japan has the coolest cars. I want to go there for a vacation.
still a lot here on the road in Indonesia.

You are an absolute legend. You brought this little pocket rocket back from the dead. Amazing work, probably better condition than it ever was during it's life in Ireland.. 👍
Hey thanks. Glad you enjoyed it man
@@Mad4Motors_ absolutely class, cheers man 😎
@@Mad4Motors_ really nice restoration!

@@Mad4Motors_ I’m so fn jealous, we in America never got that vehicle and that looks like a proper chassis to run rally in. That car is gorgeous and thank you for restoring it. You have made a rally enthusiast very happy today
見ていて気持ちが良い。生き返りましたね！素晴らしい！
As a current 1990 Starlet GT Turbo owner. I truly appreciate your hard work. They are true gems. I love driving mine every time I take it out for a spin! Peace and Love
Man, this is truly incredible. If vehicle repair was an art, you would definitely be an artist and the vehicle you repaired would be a masterpiece. You are amazing.
what do you mean if?
@ paralyze good!!!

It's so satisfying to see you bring back this beauty back to life. I'm so impressed by the range of different skills you have, especially from the van build and these restoration videos.

He probably dreads the phone ringing. "Hey mate i was wondering if you can give us a hand with something."
Oh god i'm in tears. This was my first car. Same color and everything. I loved the little sound it used to make. I remember selling it for pennies. Not much at al really. You never see them anymore anywhere.
Most YT channels would have made that a 4 part series, at least. You put a lot of work time into one video, much appreciated.
Very satisfying to see this. Didn't know there's a Turbo version. I had wanted to own a Starlet in the early 90s but couldn't afford one. Not even a used Starlet. This sure brings back memories.
--Petaling Jaya, Malaysia
We have so many Starlet GT Turbo replicas here in Indonesia using half cut parts from Malaysia or Singapore.
yeah me too.. i've seen one but without turbo.to own an old toyota or honda second hand are quite expensive here in Malaysia if we looked into theirs and ours markets
Jarang nampak kereta2 mcm ni. Selalu nampak supercar. Saya tinggal dekat area Penang.

They were great craic to drive so they were even the later model had it.....
This brought back so many memories of when I had an AE86 20 years ago. I didn't give it nearly the restore job that you gave this Toyota, nor did I do all the work myself but I did a little bit of all this stuff. I learned a lot about cars and really loved that little car. Thanks for the memories.

Is the car in good shape or have you did the biggest sin and let it rust
@@themotoredfinnproductions4456 Ha! It was already rusty back in 2002. In all honesty I did a mediocre job on the rust repair but from a distance it looked great. I drove the hell out of that car and sold it back in 2009. Who knows where it is now. It's probably parted out and rusted out.
@@TC1Z2L3 Mine went on the wheel arches but the motor was bullit proof I sold mine with 137,000 miles on the clock still ran sweet as a nut, and that gearchange like a hot knife through butter.
My new favourite channel. No messing around with series, just a fascinating demonstration of skill and the love for classic fast cars.
Отличная работа, пдарил дальнейшую жизнь машине👍
Man... ive seen plenty of youtube vids. But your single handed solo restorations are the best, the detail and effort, the skill and style. Hands down the best.
Wow wow wow. I remember the first time I got took out in one of these my mind was blown 🤯 I can’t believe you release the whole rebuild as one episode unlike the rest of the UA-cam world where it’s an episode a week just to make more money. Mega respect for you honestly well done. Keep up the great work
Youre an idiot.
Go back to your video games and stop bothering normal people please.
I test drove one at about 17yo and took my dad, i drove slow and said its a good car, i will get it, he insisted on having a drive, when we got back to the dealership he handed the keys back and just said no! To the dealer and no! to me lol and walked out. i also test drove a nissan pulsar gti-R and mazda familia gt-r they were all noped.
Another classic hot hatch saved. Well done. I would have killed for this car when I was 17, I would have been royalty in the McDonald’s carpark back in my boy racer days.
Many points I’d like to make:
1) I love this channel as you’d never get these unknown hot hatches on mainstream American renovation channels. Very niche and why I love it
2) I really appreciate that they’re short videos and not spread out over 8 episodes with a load of babble over every little detail that many people don’t really care about. I just throw an episode on during my lunch with time to spare. Perfect balancing.
3) I’m very impressed how in good condition this Starlet was (excluding the rust hole on the boot).
Keep up the good work 👍🏼
God bless you for saving that beauty! My brother had one back at the days!
This was a beautiful restoration. Much like his Civic Type-R vid, you can feel all the care and attention to all the details that went into this restoration. Didn't skip a single second of this from start to finish.
Thank you. I remember this car running fine.
I saw the video and wanted it. Thank you for your careful work.
I've got to say, that is some excellent use of child labour. Well done! They're so much easier to squeeze into the nooks and crannies of a car than normal people.
“Than normal people” 😂😂
i love this. Love the enthusiasm and attention to detail restoring rare 90s beauties. With your son no less! timeless brother. love it. Mad respect for Mad4Motors.
This is badass!! I WISH we had something like this in the states!!!!!! You did a FANTASTIC job and to put it all into one 17min video is almost an over-simplification. Very well done sir. Got a new subscriber here!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm sure there's some imported ones around
@@Mad4Motors_ the rear light with gt on it where did you get it dont know the name
@@jamesmac2584 is was on the first ep81 models same as I've got, think it was the 1990s modal as mines a g reg with the same tailgate
i live for these little nuggets! my daily is a swapped 5 door mk3 golf, i stuffed a vr6 into it. quick, fun, handy (hauls my kiddos with ease)
When I was stationed in Japan I had one of these. I was too young to appreciate it at the time. Awesome car.
This is one of the most clean and satisfying restoration video I’ve seen in a while 👍🏻
Absolutely love these one episode videos. Didn't skip a single second. Fantastic to watch such a great transformation.

ua-cam.com/video/5qK9lbrUVgE/v-deo.html
I don't know how this guy does not have more subscribers, you have one of the best car restoration channels on YT, thank you for the brilliant content
Nicely done man...I remember learning to drive back in the 90s in a 1988 Turbo Starlet a generation earlier than this one. Was a fantastic little thing.
I love these resto vids nothing over the top or fancy just genuinely getting a car back up to scratch with actual skill want more and more
Massive nostalgia hit! I had one of these little beasts about 15 years ago. Gave the usual Td04, front-mount, piggyback ECU, more fuel, more timing and away we went. Absolutely ridiculous how fast those things are with not much work. Scared the living daylights out of people when they first went with me for a blast and it ate V8s alive.
OMG... i will surely buy a car that has been in your hands sir .. WOW hi from Italy
Miss those little cars. So much fun to drive….looking back at my young crazy reckless days in the islands….at different times I owned these cars at different intervals in life….1972 mk1 ford escort, 1972 ford capri, 1990 Toyota celica all-trac rally, 1992 Toyota Levin S/Charged.
Your video bring me back to the fun days…regret selling my ford escort though…. She was fully modified and lowered.
Thank you for this video
Man this brings back memories of mine. A facelift '95; rare with all factory extras and in near mint condition. One of the (if not) best cars i've owned. Was later stolen after i sold it by joyriders who had it for days and they couldn't blow it up, was recovered and put back on the road only needing a clutch and a few other bits. Unbelievable cars. Talk about value for money in the mid 00's. A legend. Japanese all the way.
I'm glad you got it back. My Mirage Mivec coupe was stolen back in 2009 and it vanished into parts I'm sure. White Oz rims, carbon bonnet and used to do most VTECs but EK9 Type Rs usually had it in the end 😂 Never went back to Japanese after that as everyone of my mates who had a nice import was losing there's. Who knows, may have passed you on the road at some stage. ;)
Had my '96 sportif for four years till 2021. Never any problems. Only trouble was the body work. Sometimes regret not getting it restored. Scrapped it and got a few quid for it, bought a Yaris. Exhaust broke off after a couple of weeks.
Raked the Starlet as hard as I could the week before it was taken away. Couldn't break it. Still good for another 100k probably.
@@19grand my mate also went to a Yaris TS after his GT. Just loved the Toyotas and he also had a silver top Trueno. Miss that era of imports. :(
@@KP-bq8sr mid to late 90s were Toyotas best engines. Ah well, nothing lasts forever.
Amazing video as usual! Please don’t weld without gloves 🧤 I lost a colleague that way to skin cancer.
love how you give second life to old cars, and that turbo sound is just uwwwww, so good)
that free trap beat playing in the background at the start -assuming it was royalty free- was incredible. 10/10
This was my very first car. Created so many wonderful memories with this little beast. That dump valve sound brings it all back.. Great job restoring this beauty to its former glory!

Doing all that work on the floor, that ain't one bit easy..... A lift is a must.
Great work, great car and great to see you bringing it back to life
Yes soon 👍
I like how your kids are helping with the car that's some father and son goals right there
Gotta say I love watching your process, and appreciated the simple methodology despite how thorough you are with the teardown and restoration. Honestly makes me want to learn more about vehicles in the hopes of being able to do some of my own maintenance some day, maybe.
Back to memory lane had a few of theses years ago great to see one back in its glory. Great work
Glad you enjoyed it, brought back a few for me also. Cheers
I can tell you how much I respect that you save these cars! W Paint job! It turned out really nice!
Super!!! Well done. You obviously love this stuff.
hello friend. Nice to meet you. I'm from Indonesia, West Kalimantan, I like your videos
Great work as always and you make it look so easy even though we all know it wasn't.
Hey thanks man
@@Mad4Motors_ Did you go to school for this or is it just time and elbow grease?
@@indigenoussober407 watching youtube videos, you can do it
@@poltergeist8298 That's what I'm about to do. lol Pain and Failure are the greatest Teachers, or so they say.
@@indigenoussober407 Get a project car. One that isn't your daily driver and practice on it. Eventually, you will learn from your mistakes and get better at it.
Beautiful. I used to have a yellow one in Jamaica years ago. Im not sure the yellow was the original colour though as I bought it from someone. I just live the sound when changing gears.
Favorite restoration channel on UA-cam!!
These types of cars are very beautiful: small, comfortable, lively and snappy
Legend for sure. You can do all things restoration. I am so impressed with the level of quality. That little car is perfectly done. Again, so impressed! I cannot wait to see the next one! Nice job.
The most simplest way to efficiently restore a classic car. One of the Best restoration I’ve seen by far. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOING SIR! you inspire us and most specially your sidekick who does interior vacuum 🙌🏻🥇🥇🥇
Gotta repsect people that bring old cars back to life.
THE BEST AWESOME PERFECT AMAZING WORK.....😁👌👍
still have my non turbo, 26 years old. thank you for uploading this, it really helps people like me see how to do repairs.
im so glad that people like this still exist !!!!than you!!!
Great video... there's just something about those sporty 90s cars that really makes you feel good when you see them. Thanks!
You are fearless! You’re turning parts cars into brand new beauties. Very good.
This guy deserves an Oscar
Ειλικρινά έχω μήνη έκπληκτος με την επαγγελματική σού δουλειά!!!! Σου αξίζουν πάρα πολλά συγχαρητήρια για αυτό που έκανες φίλε μου
This brought me so many memories. It was my first car back in the 90’s. 👍
I love that you have started off your children on this satisfying hobby and, possibly, carreer at that early stage!
The best car restoration channel on UA-cam!
its always a great day when m4m uploads a new video! i always wanted one of these but never able to afford one glad to see you bring one back from the dead
That rear beam is bloody hilarious! Lovely little car. Impressed by the disc brakes on the rear!
Broooo that paint job is amazing. Great restore!
Bismillaah,
Really like this car. But never had it, because not enough money to buy it.
Insyaa Allah one day, Aamiin.
Thank you for the heart you gave to that car, so he can feel alive again.
Great result - gives those of us with rusty wrecks in need of work hope that they can still be brought back from the brink, so thanks for the inspiration!! Truly great job 👏👍
You are taking me back to the 90s-2000-10 era where these cars were popular.
You did an amazing job here mate.
I dont know nothing about car restoration but this is so satisfying
Seventeen thumbs up!!! This is one of the nicest builds I've seen, and I love the Starlet. Best of luck, and have fun with it!
I had never heard of these, so cool! I used to have an early gen Starlet (non turbo). Was still lots of fun, so light, rear wheel drive with a five speed. I used it as a courier for a while too, an unstoppable little car!
Wow! You have perseverance and talent, your process and finished work are amazing and inspiring. Your little ones have a great Dad to look up to.
That Starlet was brought back from the dead. What a good job!! Even kept it looking fairly stock. Pure!
Thats some dedication and attention to detail.
10:54 - Damn thats smart to keep the dust settled. Love the vids man keep them coming
How does it help really?

Absolutely amazing job you have some talent for bringing old classics back to life
This is a properly shot restoration video, restoration is also on point love how you tackled each problem and how you rotate between tasks
what a jewel,..... the cherry on top is the illuminated GT =)
Love this format - short and to the point, well-considered details without becoming overly precious, just introduce, process, result - and a great result at that!
Parabéns muito bom, saudações do Brasil!!
Always wanted a Starlet. Such a great car. Well done on the restoration!
This man is a genius.amazing work very skillful
my first car back in 2003. same colour same everything. thanks for the video
I was watching your video so caught up like I was watching my favourite tv series. Congrats for being so good at what you do and making it look simple! You make me go outside and start working on my car!
Dude, you're so awesome. Love it that you combine hours of footage into only 1 video, from start to finish.
One of the best restoration car videos on UA-cam! Please do more videos. I have watch all of them several times already. And I still enjoy looking at them.
Brilliant. Man I love these little beasts.. had one worked beautifully 20 years ago. I wish like he'll I still had it
Awesome work. So inspiring to see a car resurrected from the ashes, so to speak!
Well done! I doubt I've ever watched all of a restoration job but I didn't skip 1 single second. Start to finish. Would give you Turbo Starlet for proper repair! How long did this take?

Must have been late 90's on the Athlone road heading to Galway. Have a soft spot for em ever since. Rarely see one now on the continent.
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for the video!
