    How about taking the Celica on a driving holiday (vacation) once its complete - rather than diving straight into a new resto project? I'd love to see the car being driven on some awesome roads and seeing it being enjoyed - plus, you need a vacation!

      Agreed, plus it would give some seat time to help find the last issues that need to be worked out.

      Seconded, and also: I *need* to see see Nicole Johnson react to and drive this. She'd love that the engine is salvaged from Sarah's dad's truck.

      Thirded. A test and tune driving holiday would be great to see. Plus, if anyone deserves a little break, it's Sarah!

    I supervised probably a hundred airmen in my enlisted career, and I would have traded about 75% of them for one of you. Smart-assed, nerdy, OCD, and super hard worker. A winning combination in my book.

    Hi Sarah. For the zinc and straight metal faces how about using an invisible corrosion inhibitor? In the aircraft line boeshield T9 is incredible, locally here (Spain) CRC 3.36 is the same. Invisible and seals the pores on bare metal surfaces. We work on yachts and have motorbikes parked in the marina. No corrosion. Hope it helps protect your stunning builds. But please remember to look after yourself as much as you look after the cars. Pls take occasional breaks. We will still be here for you.

    You have done a wonderful talented job on this ST. I am a newbe on your channel. binged as many posts you made on this the last month. WOW !!!!!!!! Will you "please" drive it a long time and review your build. Even if i still had my 74 GT. Would be proud to race you because of you tried to keep build stock parts. the 18 rc in the 1974 gt was a fast 5 speed. Be careful.... Even stock. Rear end was light. tended to break loss when you did not want it to. Now you have a V8. More weight up front. More power to the rear. It will be a hand full of fun.

    When you do things the Sarah way, sometimes it takes longer, but the result is far better than you could ask for! This is why we watch. This is because you care enough to do this your way, correctly. From the garage days to the present, you do not compromise and that is why we remain ever loyal viewers. Thanks to Charlie as always for his welding expertise and ever being accommodating. Press on Sarah! Never say die Iron Eagle! Yeah buddy!❤

    @Chillymac1970 3 місяці тому +6

    Sarah, just a hint for future projects. When painting, for example, the motor mounts use high heat BBQ paint. I've actually flat blacked my truck with this paint. It doesn't leave paint strokes, covers very evenly, and literally lasts for years and doesn't fade! It's been on my truck for over 10 years, with no fade and weathering stains, and can handle the heat of Texas. Try it and see, l LOVE the Celica, what a great realistic project.

I would love to see you restore a follow-on to the bug, like a 356 or even an air-cooled 911 Porsche. Taking the Celica on a driving holiday (vacation) is a great idea; you deserve it.
