Finding Abandoned Project Cars in a Junkyard
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Exploring junkyards is always fun. But it always saddens me to see project cars abandoned and left rot. Many of these project cars had very minor issues. Whether it be a Fast and Furious style Mitsubishi Eclipse, an Acura Integra, or a 300zx, its still very sad to see it left to rot.

@@Alex-vz2jz That seems to always be the case. 9 out of 10 2nd gen Eclipses you see in junkyards are F&F Replicas, which is a shame one because they're amazing cars if kept clean and unmolested yet at the same time it doesn't surprise me that most of the Eclipses that meet this fate is either due to rust, blown engines due to the owners being absolutely negligent for most of the time or unfinished projects that somehow failed. But for the few that i've seen over the years they have good parts for use as long rust hasn't already destroyed it.

Going to say it again, I love these videos! I got hooked watching the 240sx rebuild, but really enjoy these junkyard videos!
Just want to say that I really respect your approach to sponsors, showing off products with genuinely practical use cases for your audience and clearly endorsing things that you can and will utilise. These videos as of late have been absolutely fascinating and I've learnt SO much about cars in general from you, which has made maintaining my recent miata purchase a lot easier than it ever would have been. As always, keep up the awesome content and thank you!

Thanks man! Means alot. I enjoy filming and editing these unique products. My thought process with accepting and promoting sponsors is: 'if I won't use it, I won't promote it' I would rather maintain a positive reputation than accept all of the sponsors that come my way just for the money, ya know? Thanks for sticking around man

Hello from Germany, you give me the motivation to do something on my car every day. Even if the weather is bad here, your videos keep me entertained. :)
Love the junkyard videos! Would love to know the backstories from some of the more interesting cars in there, why they ended up there, if only cars could speak eh… Junkyards are called scrapyards over here in the UK, sadly with ever increasing health and safety rules the days of wandering around picking parts yourself are mostly long gone, you have to ask at the counter for what you want and only if it’s worth their while they’ll pull it for you…not helpful when you just need odd bits here and there or even to measure up parts from other models for example. Love the vids, sending big love from UK 🇬🇧

I'm in Belgium, and same thing, here the days of taking stuff off yourself are done, and therefore the prices are also absolutely not interesting anymore, it often comes up that brand new stuff is barely more expensive or even cheaper... If you need anything that you can't really get new, either you search for someone parting out their car, or look for online junkyards, often coming from countries that aren't as crazy when it comes to pricing.

You really took one for the team on this one, Mike! I personally love exploring junk yards so these videos are fun to watch.. Plus- you're just one of those guys who makes everything fun with your enthusiasm and sense of humor. Keep the content coming!!
You just know so much about so many cars. I'm so impressed how deep your knowledge goes.
I have a couple of 80's Nissan trucks and I learn to work on them from youtube and forums. I am envious of your knowledge and positive attitude .Keep up the hard work it shows and thanks for not being a bummer a lot of content is complaining and not fixing.
The fact that I'm learning more about cars through junkyard videos than anything else is crazy. Love em. I wanna go to a junkyard now
Man honestly it's refreshing how positive you are. I'm building a 5th gen prelude at the moment and sometimes it's hard to stay positive. Thanks for the vibes!

Junkyard videos are so cool! I’ve learned so much in only a few videos so if you can please keep them up! All the cool parts and cars you’ve found already. Not to mention scooping the still salvageable parts so the community can continue to get parts. Really has inspired me to go to my “local” yard and get some miscellaneous bits I’ve been needing.
