The endless joy I get from the LS430 videos is unmatched
It's like porn for LS guys.
I always enjoy your videos and this project has been phenomenal. Look forward to all your videos.
I always trip on how well built this vehicle is! A longtime viewer because you are straight up, the only opinions you provide are from experience, tha' "GREATEST Teacher".😊
@@junglist1soldier I always considered experience to be a bad teacher because the exam precedes the lesson.
Of course he could have bought my white 2006, mint, 100K miles, and instead gone to the beach. 😂😅
This has been so fun to watch this series. Can’t wait to see the cost breakdown. Thanks AMD
I like this project because your bringing back a vehicle that has better quality than even the newer Lexus models. When you finish I believe you will have a dependable keeper. That’s why I appreciate this project and it’s worth a while effort. 👍
Especially the part where he says I'll go home eventually, then rejects a call from the wife!
2 million dollars later...
Yes! Please keep these types of videos. They are a great addition to your regular videos. Don’t stop those either. But these series are great also. They are inspiring me to do the same type of project. I am restoring my dad’s truck I inherited from him when he passed away.
What model is the truck?
Current update. You have impressed me to the point I now own a Lexus 2006 LS 430 with 161,649 miles and the wife was not in favor of me buying it but after I detailed it out and she has riden in it she is impressed with the Lexus LS 430. I bought a white one that looks very much like yours. I love it. Keep making these types of videos by all means.
This brings great joy to my heart. Those headlights are the first job I would have done many moons ago. It is damaged me spiritually having to look at those dirty foggy headlights while the car is receiving thousands of dollars of renovations.
I love this project. Any of these classics that are arguably better than the current versions desires this type of treatment.
So much fun seeing the joy on your face! Like a child on Christmas morning! 😂😂😂
I can’t fathom the amount of 💰 spent so far on this project. I think I speak for the majority of your subs in saying we all look forward to another project vehicle and can’t wait to see this car completely finished! It’s a miracle that an aftermarket unit works seamlessly with the Lexus OEM screen. Kudos to its designer 👍👍
842K subs and climbing 🏆
I have just found this channel. Thanks UA-cam Algorithm. First of all, congratulations for this mechanic being so good in communication! Silent background, nice pace speech and calm enviroment. For a non English native speaker, it is a bless! This elevates the level at youtube.
This entire series has been one of the greatest I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you so much for allowing us along on the journey. I'd love to see another passion project of yours!
100% agree. Thank you for all the time you dedicate to making these videos. So many videos are 2-10 minutes and add no value. These videos are in-depth, educational, entertaining and provide great value to the viewers.
This is something that must be said about this man. Who in the world would not want to work for, have him teach you , or have him work on your car. Love to have him as a mentor. God bless!
AMD, you are a true mechanical craftsman. My Dad was a Master Mechanic on diesel heavy vehicles who cleaned off every part and tool he touched. It was how he paid solemn respect to the hardworking machinery he serviced. Today, it is referred to as OCD. But, back a half century ago, it was the mark of a true professional. You have my respect…and Dad’s too!
You are a HERO! I looked into doing this on my pristine 2006 SC430 but chickened out.
Instead, I burned 6 custom CDs with a bunch of my favorite tunes. And I bought this little $15 gizmo from Amazon that interfaces with my iPhone via Bluetooth and allows my iTunes collection to play via the FM radio. And I bought another little gizmo for $10 that allows my iPod to interface via the cassette deck & bluetooth. Hey- it works fine and I didn't have to tear the nice Japan-assembled workmanship apart. For the times I use it- touring the Sonoma-Napa wine country and coast roads- it works just fine.
These restorations are fun...can't wait for the next one. The higher the miles, the better
AMD, I hope you continue with these big projects. They're super fun to watch.
I recently had the privilege of driving a 2004 LS 430, and all I can say is WOW! I mean the quietness and comfort of this car is really something. I've never been in a car that quiet before, and the car was almost 20 years old. Simply outstanding and you were absolutely correct.
Brilliant work and I got addicted to watching the work you undertook. I will wait for you to complete the whole project on your next episode. It has been very interesting watching and look forward to seeing it completed including the bodywork you were talking about.
Yes, I love this types of content and projects on the TCCN channel. Thank you for the great content and for your eye on detail and quality work.
With all the love that has been put to this car there is no way this will be the shop car. I don’t see mechanics going in and out of this car. The results have been just tremendous to watch. Thank you for having us in this journey.
Really enjoy how you show how repairs are made and how to prevent them by proper maintenance.
This been an amazing restoration story. Hope to see more videos like this in near future. Thank you for the time and effort to include us in your work.
This series just gets better and better. I love it. You're so helpful. Thank you.
Quick question. Does this only do apple car play? Or can I connect my android?
@@Con_Calmaait does work with android auto. Haven’t tested it though
@@TheCarCareNuton different subjects, what your reasoning for just not sanding down the original lights and clear coating them? the 3m kits are very good and easy to. just wondering.
@@tbyoda9475 Those kits don't make them look good forever. Most of those kits will be back to oxidation within a year. If you're going to spend way more than a vehicle is worth, might as well go the whole way.
I’m tagging Mrs Car Care Nut in the cost video right now. Hahahahaha 😅
Thank you for sharing this video of an old car restoration. I would love to see more of these types of videos in the future. Your efforts and time are greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!
G'day from Perth, Western Australia. This is a wonderful restoration series! I'm so impressed with your work and the way in which you calmly and pragmatically work thorough every challenge. I also enjoy all of your other videos too, but I just got so hooked on this series. Even thought it will be a few months I'm looking forward to the next installment with anticipation! Meanwhile I know you will have a lot of other great content to keep me entertained AND educated! Thank you for all of your videos!
I just finished watching how the Toyota Landcruiser models are built… and now this excellent video from The Car Care Nut 👍 😎
Who did that video?
@@alejandronopasanada5302Cars BOOM channel
Absolutely love this series and welcome more content like this. Keep up the fantastic work!!
True that the cost to restore have exceeds the value of the car. However, everytime i watched this it reminds me what my late dad who grew up in WW2 torn country with not much thing left after the bombings told me: “Son, i grew up in a time when things are broken, we try to fix it, not iust throw it away without trying”. Thank you for bringing the memory of him putting in the labor to restore this. ..And pls continue the series for this LS after winter.
This was a supreme effort on the part of you and your team and I've enjoyed every "episode" of the drama! I'm glad, however, that you are taking a break. Yes, I want to see the next epic you put together but maybe sometime next year! Thank Mrs. Car Care Nut for all the hours away from home that it took to complete the project. God Bless and GET SOME SLEEP!
This is the project that just keeps on giving, what a joy to see. Hope this project never ends.
Have enjoyed watching the progress of this project -- is amazing what you have accomplished. Can't wait to see you take it to 1MM miles!
Amazing project and it looks soooo much better. Keep the project videos coming. Love you candid content! Thank you for sharing.
I've enjoyed this series so much! Thank you TCCN crew, for sharing all your hard work with us. Blessings!
I truly LOVE all of your videos. They are interesting, detailed, enjoyable, and fun to watch and Yes I enjoy the special series you promote as well. Thank you!!!
I am so happy I found your channel. You have taught me a lot about cars which has been so helpful and I look forward to more videos.
These videos are great, really enjoying seeing all the hard work you are putting in... can't wait to see more!!!
This has been one of the most interesting car projects I've had the pleasure of watching on UA-cam! Great job to all involved!
This project has been so interesting and fun. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Love it! Very excited for the next project as well! This is premium content.
This as been one of the most enjoyable series that as brought me so much pleasure watching every episode from freshening up the look to putting the safety back up to par. Bravo!
I love what you are doing with the LS600. I hope you continue to work on projects like this. I got the notification of this video at work and wanted to watch it then…. It’s a nice thing to watch when unwinding from work
Love projects. Keep em coming!
Loved this series. It gives me so much joy watching a restoration from a person that knows 100% about that brand. Can’t wait for the next project. Thank you for your time and all the effort. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 👋
Love that a wide variety of skills are employed in this truly ambitious project. You are a younger and braver man than I, but I loved watching every minute. Can't wait to see what's next!!
This has been a great series, my introduction to your channel. Please continue with this project and others like it.
I was waiting so long for those brand new headlights. Love it!
Excellent project. Would like to see more projects like these.
Amazing series! It's how I found the channel!! Love your work.
This restoration has been very exciting and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve already adapted some of the philosophies that you’ve communicated. You do a great job.
My preferred brake combo for a daily/luxury vehicle is some geomet coated disks + akebono ceramic pads.
*Perfection!*
Love the LS content. And yes, another rebuild series would be welcomed.
I have greatly enjoyed this series. Thanks for sharing with us.
Simple things like these sure make a HUGE difference!
Great Job
love these videos man. keep it up
My absolute favorite car rehab series! Your talents and dedication are amazing- can’t wait for your next project. Being a Lexus and Toyota owner it has been a treat watching a Master Mechanic who has a great teaching ability- Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Great project. I am looking forward to watching future ones. Thanks!
Definitely would love to see another project. Not only is it mesmerizing to watch the transformation, but your patience , knowledge and description of the process makes it even better.
I loved watching you restore this wonderful Lexus vehicle. Please do the follow-up on this car, and I look forward to seeing you restore more of them.
We absolutely loved your 600k mile Lexus 430 series! Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I personally really like this type of content where there is quality care and restoration to cool automobiles. Would love to see more of this content on your channel in addition to your standard content. Excellent work!!
Love seeing projects like this. Please keep them coming! It has been very fun following the 600,000 mile Lexus project. So fun!
Yes AMD, by all means keep making content like this as well as your regular repairs. They have been so informative, inspiring, and fun to watch. Keep up the amazing job you and your crew are doing. Thank you so very much, it's been fun to watch.
Hi AMD, I have enjoyed very much watching all of your UA-cam videos, including the saga of the 600,000 mile LS… I will continue looking forward to each and everyone of your UA-cam videos and also look forward to permanently having your shop service my 2015 ES 350 after having experiencedwhat you can do for the first time several weeks ago. Thanks.
Fabulous transformation, from old to ultra modern. Good luck
Really enjoyed this series. Demonstrates you passion, and commitment to excellent workmanship.
What a fantastic series! I am doing the same to my 2008 LS460 SWB. It really is a labour of love.
I get to take mine to Florida for the winter. Can't wait to see the next one. You have turned into my favourite channel.
Loving this video and I always admire Lexus vehicles! I noticed there are alot of videos on UA-cam talking about LS models! Seems to be having a surge in popularity!
These videos and your channel are amazing, so thankful for all I learn from you and the team AMD! Thank you. I really love your Toyota in depth review videos, that helps me learn so much for when I want to buy a car someday, same as your best used models videos and your personal experience with their reliabilities. Thank you again and may the Lord bless and keep you as well!
Greatly enjoyed this series sir! Your dedication to keeping such a fine car on the road is what drew me to this series! Thanks!
Loving the content , I am living vicariously through you. I shows up options on what can be done with one of these.
Yes I love these videos. I appreciate cars as well as keeping them clean and maintained. Loving everything you’ve done to the LS430! I just changed the headlights on my semi last week and it made a big difference.
You have turned the car into a jewel and I understand the feeling of love and attachment you get in such a project. Now it has an incomparable sentimental value and I hope you get the project to the end and enjoy it for a million miles. I look forward to other projects like this. Greetings and safe travels.
This is just fantastic to watch!!! Keep em comin!!! This is such a wonderful channel, do that other project man!!!
This project is my main watch lately. Love it to bits. I am sure it talks to a lot of people as it does to me. can't wait to see next episodes. Other similar projects will for sure be amazing to watch as well.
Wow, so far looking amazing 👏🏻👏🏻 great Job . Many blessings to you and your family from Yorktown Texas 🇨🇱🇺🇸🇵🇷
I love it! So happy for you my brother! Please continue doing projects like this. May our Lord bless you and your family!!!
Yes please continue restoration projects like these, they are amazing. The love and care is unmatched.
I loved every step of the restoration….keep going!!! God Bless!!!
Wow, just wow. The amount of love that has been poured into that car is amazing. The VLine Grom update was a must. I also have it installed in my vehicles and it works really.
Loving this epic restoration series! Would absolutely watch future series where you restore other old Lexus cars!!!
Also, the Apple CarPlay upgrade to this old LS was spectacular 🤯!!!
Yes Sir...this has been a very enjoyable series & I look forward to seeing more of the same on this channel.
God Bless you & yours & keep your wonderful videos coming!
I love all Lexus vehicles and what you have done in this project it amazes me how much you love this LS430! An awesome project and please keep up the good work! I Will definitely waiting for the next video of this project and please continue this kind of restoration. God bless!
These full “resto-mod” or return to near new condition video series are awesome. Watching you pour your Toyota knowledge into one of their cars, worthy of all the work like an LS430, is inspiring. I have seen a few full tear downs like yours, the attention to detail is what draw me and likely others to watching. You keep is wanting more! I don’t think one could ever be too obsessive when trying to achieve perfection!
Thank you for all your work. Until the next video, May The Lord Bless you and Keep you Too, as you bless us all with a wonderful day sir!
Hi AMD, really enjoyed watching all of your videos about the 430. I've owned many Toyota/Lexus products, and LS is still my favorite. I am curious to see what the next project would be. I've worked on Avalon, Corolla, Yaris, and many other platforms, including a restoration project on a UCF11. Really looking forward to seeing if we have a similar tastes in chasing down the "childhood dreams". Cheers!
I absolutely want to see more projects. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series on this, and I thoroughly enjoy your videos in general. Keep up the amazing work AMD and team!! My only regret is that I live too far away to bring my Lexus to you for all its maintenance needs. At the moment I only have 27,000 miles but the things I’m learning from you are invaluable. Blessings from Texas.
Exceptional from start to finish! Keep them coming!
Yes! More projects like this please!
Great to know about those headlights. I’m sure I’ll be at your shop sooner or later getting the same replacements! Another great video….a bit sad seeing the LS430 project ending soon!
*JDM Celsior headlamps are for RHD road illumination rules and this is a LHD continent. Otherwise, you're all good. Cheers!*
Love the way the front end looks now. The inside looks almost new and with that carplay installed its perfect. I know you wont drive it in the winter but I hope you keep this car forever. Cant wait to see it finished. This has been my favorite project on the channel.
Love this kind of video. Even if I don't own the particular model, I'm learning something. Not only are you a world class tech, you're a great teacher.
I've been following the restoration from the beginning, and it's been a great time watching the magic you've done. I actually would love to buy it from you
This project is definitely a great one. I would like to congratulate you for the hard work you have brought to this amazing car! Love your patience and dedication, I definitely will love to continue seeing future projects like this one. You are my "Go To" mechanic for advice and for everything related to Toyota! There is no one else like you as a Mechanic, thank you for being out there for the advise, for learning about the importance of Toyota repairs. I really take your word for looking into my own Toyota car, again thank you, I wish I had you in my country for you to put your hands on my car....
Same here.
I listen to Amir and look for his recommendations when I purchased a recent Toyota. 😊
AMD your videos on the restoration of the LS is amazing! Can’t wait for the final drive when everything is completed and updates on the future of the LS430 to the million miles!
I love watching this video series, it is nice to see someone who not only knows what they are doing to do the repairs properly but to also see someone who puts in the effort and care and money to bring back a car to such a nice condition. Comparing the LS430 now to how it appeared in the first video, it is hard to believe that is the same car. I am glad to see someone give a car the care it deserves to bring it back to life so to speak. By far a great video series and look forward to any future parts of this series or others like it. Congrats on the LS430 so far AMD and it doesn't matter what a project car may cost if that car is special to you. The work you have done so far has been absolutely amazing. Well done. Thank you for the videos and your channel.
Incredible transformation! I have a 2002 LS430 and you have inspired me to hold on to it and very well make it one of my “forever” cars. Very very well done!
Same I was looking at mine with a torn seat made me want to sell it lol
more projects like this! I love restoration
I really enjoyed this series so far, i learned much from it and would love to see more of this type of series with other toyota/lexus models.
Thank you for your time and effort in this videos AMD and the TCCN crew. Appreciate it.
Greetins from germany.✌️
This was great to watch from the beginning till now. Thanks for doing this and bringing us along.
Those old headlights have been driving me crazy from the first day!😂
Been a subscriber when you had under 10,000 subscribers! Love your channel!
Yes, yes, I love this project video.
More please.
Thank you for your hard work.
Thoroughly enjoyed this series!! And really appreciate your recent video on the 2GR-FE common problems. I recently purchased my mom's 2015 Toyota Venza XLE with the 2GR-FE, and it was helpful to know the common problems and to know, based off of the info you shared, that my V6 (with only 26,000 miles....) has everything fixed! Keep up the good work!
