    That white GT-R that was all cut up isn't a parts car, it was wrecked very badly and Yoshida-san has taken on the monumental task of restoring it. Very good video! Love to see more stuff about Garage Yoshida.

    Hey Sam thank you for walking through his facility and sharing it with us! It was quite a long while ago when you filmed yourself doing some welding underneath your S15 and at the time you mentioned how much you had to learn about it (welding). Heard you mention about the tach welding machines Garage Yoshida has, the same ones your friend sells and it made me wonder about which processes Yoshida-san uses in his shop. Did you notice if he prefers TIG, MIG, Flux core or stick? Our project R32 has a fair amount of rust in the usual places and undoubtedly once I get into the frame members I will have to do some grafting to replace any rusted out surfaces. I wish to replicate as much of Yoshida-san's techniques as much as possible for our car...it will pay off in the long run for us!

      Very likely. The faded paint on some of the parts match his car and he did request his engine bay to be paint matched, looks like that's exactly what they're doing. I do noticed the hood on the back has a duct while Larry's does not. Could be something he wants to add on the car tho.
