I think thats an important lesson: know when to give up on something. Also know when to not take on a project you probably can't finish anyway. Just lay down and watch more Car Trek
I was about to say, don,t give centimental value to your items. There are people who save up junk thinking they might need it some day, but all it,s doing is sacrificing valueable work space in the workship
@@willemp6432 yeah. You know, the thing your mom keeps telling you to do so you can move out.
gay track...
@@willemp6432 so it's been 37 years and you still haven't taken her dying wish? That's cold, man.
So sorry to hear you're upset over the free youtube videos not being to the quality of work output you don't do.
I was looking forward to seeing how far he could jump the Lotus. Just saying
10/10 on the blurring 😂
But in all seriousness, happy holiday’s to yourself and Jack!
Jog on loser, it’s merry Christmas
Why does no one know how to use an apostrophe?
Had me laughing!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ericsmith3996 I mean, your exaggerating, some people do...
@@YOEL_44 exaggerating*
If you're eliminating a Jared project, does that imply a lack of Jared on your channel in general? I loved watching you guys together. I was hoping you guys would still collaborate despite the Wrench Every Day rebranding.
I also hope he gets the Lexus V8 swap project.
I think Jared just got burnt out commuting back and forth from Georgia to Florida so frequently. I think he'll still be helping out with projects that have a lot of mechanical work as well as CarTrek stuff.
Of course there will be less. Nobody wants to commute 12+hrs one way to wrench for a few days just to go back and have their own projects waiting. It's why Questionable Garage (Formerly Wrench Everyday) is now Jared's channel only. They're still buddies, just no longer partners like they used to be. It's all good though, I'm sure he'll still come around.
@@CrashRacknShoot plus tavarish wont stop using him in car trek
@@robertmyrick860 Jared didn't participate in the last CarTrek tho
The bluring job is fantastic! very professional top level! best thing ive ever seen :D
Edit: the tires on that blurred car are massive wide what size are they?
Still, MONTHS later wondering what happened to the Lexus SC conversion... Really was looking forward to that one...
Lexus SC F 😥
Oh no, I’m just so sad to see it go! And by sad I mean I’m throwing a party that it’s gone.
Good one Jarrad 😂😂
I was half expecting to see this on Jared's way to a supra
I understand that UA-camrs have to create content and keep it fresh but as an avid viewer I really want to see projects followed thru on. Just finish something so we can appreciate the effort and talent it takes to get a project over the finish line. Starting something new is not really that interesting when there is so much waiting to be done.
You seem very quick to forget that Tavarish has done some very impressive rebuilds over the years. Like the McLaren, several Lambos, a couple HellCat swaps, supras. Not every project is going to be doable.
This is a common problem on many YT car channels. The reveal videos get the most views and that doesn't motivate finishing the projects. Also the lack of project management and ability to look ahead is a major contributor. In TV car shows they plan the whole project ahead and order all the parts beforehand before they even start filming.
The twin turbo Lamborghini is a project that never ends! Is the convertible fixed and working? 😕 Has the oil pan on the 3000GT VR4 been properly repaired? Does the Mercedes-Benz have its manual gearbox swapped in? And what's up with the Porsche? My advice, attack one project at a time, to completion, then move on to the next. Nice R32💪
The million mile lexus too 😢
Or the 355, the rotary / radical racecar, 430 scud or even the latest FF Murcy...
Yeah super disappointed this channel has just become home to never ending projects that are never finished. Half the cars that are introduced never go anywhere and clearly he has given up on quite a few.
If we wanted to see never ending projects 90% of us could just step into our own garages.
LOL. Him. Finish a project! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I only keep Tavarish subscribed because of Car Trek.
@@WhiskyCardinalWes Interesting, I stopped coming here because of Car Trek. I was excited to see some potentially interesting non-Car Trek content, and it turns out he's dumped the Lotus. At least there's still The Questionable Garage.
You should complete more cars before starting new ones so we can see results
I'd love to see an update on the manual SL55 AMG project.
Yeah that was one of my early interests in his channel when he was working out of his old house/garage. I'm guessing the YT algorithm wants him to work on supercars. Also maybe that European dude couldn't develop the kit to make the conversion work? If that's the case then just kill it.
Pretty sure he go rid of that car
I really wanted to see this one. I had that matchbox car as a kid. What is kind of disappointing is that it took so long for this video to let us know what happened. With that being said I’m looking forward to some of your house shenanigans. Keep up the good work.
"we lost all forward momentum" could describe half of tavarish's projects
Literally
Some kind of timeline on project would be nice. With Jarrod gone. Replaced with a car body guy. Who needs to build his personality and a beany on camera looks like a condom.And I don't care for the tool commercial this way.
Truth statement
You definitely have the ability to tackle the lotus, but the lack of parts just makes it too slow. Love your videos! Thanks for making them and as always, congratulations on all your successes!
Ahh...the Lotus. Yep finding parts and the time needed to do it right is a challenge. After a year of working on getting parts after tearing down mine I now have shipment on its way to me to get my project going again very soon. I was hoping to see what you did with this one as I did mine, but completely get the balance of time and $$$ it would take away from you. I hope to tell you if it is worth it hopefully measured in months rather than years. I am curious who is taking over the project.
"Straight Outta Bondo"
Got a good chuckle outta that one. Well done!
The Lotus Esprit is an amazing car and I’m glad to see it going to someone who will appreciate it.
Yes, you bought it! I've been waiting to see that R32 again ever since the video in the JDM shop. Awesome grab, especially in Gun Grey.
Oops, I mean, that's a lovely, totally indescript, blurry car..
I really love that you showed the r32, I hate it when people make you wait for the next video
Going to have to start finishing some projects / showing some more updates on work getting done to compete with other automotive youtube channels. Feels like its been a year since we've seen some actual progress on many of these builds. Love the channel Freddy but does seem like youve gotten a bit over your head in alot of these. Besides the Supra and S Class, seems like only cartrek videos and more project aquisitions.
@@RealTavarish Please stop scamming people. Really low, bottom feeder stuff praying on others acting as someone else. Find a way to contribute to society and stop leeching off people who dont know better.
I see the SL63 rear bumper conversion on the SL55.. it gives me hope
Have to admit, I’m pretty interested to see why you have a dodge viper hood
Yeah seen that too
I thought it was leftover parts from the dead viper project he abandoned awhile back and sold?
@@Fabulousprofound168 almost forgot about that. it very well could be.
excited to see what you do with a new build but also want to see what you do with the RX7(def my fav out of the bunch)
@10:00 Awesome that you have a red beamer with a blown head gasket. That white smoke cloud was huge
I’ve stil not forgotten about the merc sl manual conversion you promised me all those years ago. You even have a gearbox for it in all of that mess some where:):) marry Christmas
I think that's dead in the water
Love you channel. Your enthusiasm, drive and most importantly charisma shows. Looking forward to future builds!
The blurring work was just … MAGNIFIQUE! Freddy and DaveDDE I think have the best sense of humor, especially Freddy when it comes to the edits (like the old times music with the cut aways). Big supporter of your channel since less than 8k subscribers!
Suggestion for the next car trek or to somewhere down the line budget Jaguars it would be interesting, because sometimes are not so reliable but they’ve made some interesting cars through the years. Well love to see what you Ed and Tyler would come up with
I have those tools boxes. Got them last year on a Back Friday sale. The rolling cart is great for working on the mower or car.
Was looking forward to the build of the lotus, find it hard to believe that it was going to be anymore harder than your other builds
I'd guess it wasn't the amount of work, but rather amount of work vs what the end result would be worth (by whatever definition - money, views, exposure, etc.).
Sometimes the juice is just not worth the squeeze.
Jared isn’t around to do stuff like he used to be.
@@regal105 body work projects only now apparently haha
Can't rebuild what you cannot find parts for (as he said)
Old lotus cars are a nightmare to work on. A coworker of mine has a 1970s lotus that hasn't ran in 10 years because he can't find glass, motor parts, and he's currently billy-bobbing a Ford fiesta engine and trans to possibly fit.
Quality of the videos dropped quite a lot in my opinion. Subscribed for seeing you and Jared actually wrench and finish cars. Now each stupid project after another gets announced, each video containing Jack rambling on about body work and costs, and nothing gets wrenched or finished... Hopefully things turn around for the better quickly
He’s already made bank and now has car trek , this is clearly no the longer the focus and we’re just getting an update every now and then would have been nice to get some sort of explanation!
This! I have no idea why people are so positive about this video. Tavarish announces 20 different projects, and finishes 2- maybe 3 of them. Why not just pick a a single project (like the mcLaren) and stick with it? And I agree that these videos are often just 20 minutes of them rambling without much wrenching. It’s too bad, because sometimes these videos are very enjoyable (like the burnt Ferrari).
@@kristofvandycke6687 They have to keep producing videos, so they can get money. If a project takes too much time to get parts, they have to quickly do something else to get a new video out. Also the reveal videos get the most views, so it doesn't motivate compelting anything
I don't know when the last time he finished a car was.
This is basically what his channel was before Jared. Weeks between updates, nothing getting done when there were updates, and a lot of cars going nowhere. Hopefully this isn't a sign of those times returning.
The problem with the Lotus, is that they are very small production run cars and back when those were made the QC was not great.
So finding parts alone is going to be an utter nightmare and trying to get them to line up due the fiberglass and plywood frame is also extremely difficult.
🤣🤣🤣 absolutely spot on blurring work.
Thank you guys and hope you all have an awesome time over the holidays.
I hope craftsman has improved after sears sold them off, last time I looked at a craftsman ratchet it made horror freight tools look good.
If you don’t “soft close” every cabinet, drawer, and door in your project house I may cry
I have that same tool box! My girlfriend surprised me with it, I love mine! I was working out of several small plastic grab and go tool boxes and 1 20 inch 3 drawer tool box prior to this.
Always love seeing shops get some new tools.
When are you gonna start building car's again??? It's been for ever... I missed the old days...
Really excited to see what tavrish's new project car is🥴
I have that craftsman inflator, it doesn't matter how nicely you wond the cords and hoses on that thing. The second you turn around it's made a mess of itself. Recently gave it away and upgraded to the m18 inflator and never looked back.
I suspect you had people to check this car out for you in Japan. It would be cool to see the behind the scene's!
That Craftsman Vseries makes a great Christmas gift imo. But in all seriousness, it is awesome - we bought one at work last year and added the power strip feature. No need to search for an open outlet anymore, and you can monitor the charging of tool while you continue to work. That new project car should be good!
nice job with the blur, i have no idea what you put there. I hope its a Silvia!
I’m in love with the Audi b5 s4. I don’t know if you have ever thought about one of these but it would be something I’d love to see! Happy holidays Tav!
Excellent video. Great cleanup guys. Thanks for the video.
It isn’t too difficult for you! You rebuilt a crashed Mclaren!
But it’s not what you want to invest time in. It’s a real strength to admit a change in direction and not just keep the thing disassembled for years under a tarp. With you all the way man
Agreed. Plus, Jared said he wanted it.
The McLaren isn’t a death trap
The mclaren is worth restoring. That lotus would never be worth the amount it would cost.
@@forresttm True. I think Freddie's accomplishment on the 675LT is fantastic. But I doubt it makes financial sense without the UA-cam $ and the sponsors. If I were him I'd be very happy with it.
@@user-od9iz9cv1w it's still worth 10x the amount the lotus would be..
Why do all that for a sub 100k car.. its not worth it.
I'm dying to know what car they're gonna reveal in the next episode.
same dude
Maybe the Z06?
I hope it’s a Toyota Ngl to you
@@prod.blackshinobi it looks more like a bmw e46 with that color tho
They're going to reveal that it has an LS in it..... MMMWAHAHAHA!!!!!
Love Jack's "enthusiasm " on the 41 craftsman wood top lol...YAYYY!...walks over to his Macsimizer in background..
What ever happened to the cheap Audi All Road that you drove from Kansas back to Florida in the summer time? (I wonder if I’m the only one asking about that car😂😂😂) I love VW’s/Audi’s from the 2000’s.
I have to hand it to Freddie and Jack, with all the tire farting sounds there were no farting jokes.
Shout out to you Tavarish, for hooking up Jared with his own channel, very nice of you man!
The ending of the blurring of the car was so creative and funny I love that.
Love it. All this years and I can't wait for one of you're videos.
Damn fine editing mate 😁👍👍👍
Disappointing to see the Lotus go. I understand if it doesn't make financial sense, but I always loved the style of those cars. It was like a Ferrari mashed up with a Lamborghini.
The spare parts scattered across the garage in this video makes *Mr. Wizard* look like a genius for buying those used/salvage "media carts" on his channel. It is mentally so much easier to keep project moving when all the parts are kept together.
Nice toolbox!!! That doesn't sound quite right but I love tools and have them organized like that!!!
Sorry to see the Lotus go. It was shaping up to be a cool project.
As an Esprit owner, this is the one project I was most interested in.
Jack's beanie is a Bondo Slim Shady joke waiting to happen. Great work, you guys. I hope we can see more progress on the cars
My question is, do you still have the SL AMG that was supposed to get the manual transmission and if you do will it ever happen?
@Tavarish I am a disabled vet on a budget (attempting) fixing up my R53 JCW. I am in dire need of a tool box. Would you reccomend those Craftsman tool chests for someone on a tight budget?
absolutely
@@tavarish Awesome! Thanks!
I would assume that those Craftsman tool chests are ... worth every penny, but also kinda expensive. I suspect you may find it worthwhile to give up some features to get a lower price.
Over on Wrench Every Day (recently changed name to The Questionable Garage), Jarred and Tavarish did several comparison tests of inexpensive tool sets and tool boxes, and perhaps something there is a better fit.
On the other hand, if you expect to be using them a lot in the future, maybe it is worth a bit extra to get much nicer chests. I have never known of anyone who bought Craftsman chests and was disappointed in them, and most of the folks I've known who had a place dedicated to working on their vehicles bought Craftsman chests.
What happened to the f355? Also didn't you get a separate shop for bodywork? Sad to see the lotus go but the amount of broken cars was starting to rival hoovies so i get it
I've been so waiting on that Lotus! Wanted to see what you would've built it into.. But you have other things that I'm sure we all are like waiting on what's happening with them.. Btw, the Italics not moving with the Nissan was hilarious. Just had the biggest laugh! Well with Jack by your side, Somethings may really get done.
Hey @Tavarish what's up with the Alpine A610 next to the McLaren ? I can't wait to see this on the channel.
best blurr effect ever on youtube!😂😂keep up the fun work!
There goes a lotus espirit.( hope the new owner finishes the Project.
I see a Pacifica Hellcat project coming!
Awe. Very sad about the Lotus, really really wanted to see that one fixed!
I LOVE YOU FOR DITCHING THAT NO PART CAR
I can't wait to see the new build happen. You got rid of a cool car, but replaced it with an Icon.
I have been following this channel for a couple of years - very much enjoyed the rebuild of the McLaren. Tavarish is a god presenter.
Once he got the Esprit in my opinion of the show definitely went up a notch - fixing the more modern cars is cool, but a genuine classic supercar? That is next level.
Alas, I guess Tavarish, Jack et al managed to find their limit, which I suppose is respectable. So losing the Lotus is sad, but understandable.
Alas, after the clean up they started talking about the Mercedes S-Class. Sorry, but I had to skip that part... I know Mercedes has its fans, but an S-class vs a Lotus Esprit for interest factor? Really?
This seems like a good choice for your sanity instead of hunting down lotus parts you get to hunt down rare gt-r parts! At least you have a shop nearby that might have some of those. Good luck!
I was looking for this comment. Mostly because some bot copied it and posted it as spam to promote some scam nonsense. Figured I would try to boost this one in some fashion.
Wish you could have finished the Lotus. I wanted one like that growing up and still want one. I understand walking away when it doesn't make sense. Looking forward to next build.
I mean I hope people know what a skyline GT-R is
Who else see's the 2nd gen Viper parts in the background at 3:00
which would be much better as a next project, gtrs are done to death imo
Shame to see the Lotus go but hopefully means we get to see some projects finished 🏁
Been using my Craftsman inflator just like the one in the video for over a year and it has't skipped a beat. IT's everything Tavarish said and so much better
Another one bites the dust 🙂
List of projects that I have seen go (which I remember)
1- MR2
2-Viper
3-Ferrari 355 (Really Wanted to see)
4-SLC Supercar (Don't remember what happened)
5-Fast and Furious Replica Eclipse (would love to see something similar...that one was bizzare)
6-NFS Lambo Replica Sesto elemento (wasn't a great project to complete in time)
7-Lotus Esprit (Cool Car imo)
And the Lexus ISF
You are building great projects....
P.S Please Complete the Burnt Ferrari 🙂
he still has the 355
This is for sure the channel of look new project then months and years of never seeing it again...then look new project and repeat the cycle. His channel blew up over the one project he completed with the Lamborghini then downhill after that
B is for build built the slc into a widebody mustang thing
@@stuartdickie that was a different slc chassis from the same movie though! Chris got the Bugatti chassis that crashed into my cop car
Kept waiting for new content for a while now 😅
I'm very much looking forward to this new build I can't wait for the reveal.
can't wait to see more of the r32 literally my dream car
I wonder what the next five reveals are going to be before he actually finishes another one?
This is a common problem on many YT car channels. The reveal videos get the most views and that doesn't motivate finishing the projects. Also the lack of project management and ability to look ahead is a major contributor. In TV car shows they plan the whole project ahead and order all the parts beforehand before they even start filming.
I don't care whether you have too many projects or not. I'm watching your videos because they are FUN.
Cant wait for 2023, youve got the holy trinity of JDM royalty with the Hentai RX7, the Car Trek Supra and the GTR, PLEASE GET THOSE DONE.
Happy Holidays, Freddy!
I still have no idea what that car is... great work editor 👏👏 props to you on the blur job
Well LOTUS does stand for Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious after all.
I always thought it was "Lots Of Trouble Until Scrapped"?
When is the next house update? 🤔
Man i'm so excited for the car reveal. Wonder what cool car they are gonna work on
im glad to see he still has the fd rx7,part of me wants to buy it and restore it but having 2 project cars with a 3rd one on the way....dont think ill be able to afford it xD
I think you need to work a little bit on the blur project haha! Nice one once more! Hyped for the R32!
I said nissan in my comment so as not to spoil it for someone scrolling the comments first lol
Sadly, I have not been an avid watcher of this channel for the past year. Kinda blurring into one big meh, I can't even remember a highlight. I used to be bang on for the uploads and the latest updates for your projects but fml, does anything get done anymore?
Dangit! I probably asked about the status on the Lotus in the comments of a couple of videos. I was super interested in seeing what a Tavarish-version would look like, since I really like the overall styling of your cars.
The new totally not revealed car was a good band-aid. ;-)
Nooooo! There's so much potential! You guys need a copy of the parts exchange list for the Lotus. Lotus used a lot of parts bin parts like the brakes, half shafts, etc. The brakes next to the transmission required some customized parts but not that big of a deal. The Lotus used a fiberglass ERM process which made the fiberglass frame incredibly stiff and durable. So may seem unsafe, but it's not.
Even the projects you have are better then most of Tyler's cars 😆
Tyler cars actually run and drive!
@@anthonyslazas6413 they do after the wizard has to repair them remember?.... when tavarish does it him self
@@anthonyslazas6413 the pleasure of repairing and seeing your project through instead of paying someone is more rewarding
@@fanolbelica6543 true
@@fanolbelica6543 debatable
Honestly I wasn't very hopeful for this project bc I knew it was going to be incredibly difficult if not impossible.
Without an engine swap, it didn't seem like a good use of time for the channel, and body panels are probably unobtainum.
You guys need a quad or a forklift to help yank stuff around the shop. We use a forklift and it is super usefull for many different tasks.
I was very hopeful to see you do the Lotus. But I wasn't expecting you to replace things with factory parts, I was kinda expecting you to fix it by manufacturing the missing parts. I'm quite sad.
nice blur 🤠
R32 GT-R 😂😂
npc
I'm guessing you aren't too good searching for parts... there are stores in the UK which sell OEM spec bumpers and sideskirts for all the generations of the Esprit, and also any part you would need... When you bring that BMW from the UK a while ago, you could have get some parts for the Esprit too...
Tavarish hard at work making next centuries barn find of the century.
