As someone who has worked on cars and bikes for many years I can really appreciate the hundreds of hours you must of put in to complete this project. It's nice that its all wrapped up into a bitesize video but it doesn't do justice to all the preparation work you must of done especially with the bodywork. Well done fantastic job

Legend for sure. You can do all things restoration. I am so impressed with the level of quality. That little car is perfectly done. Again, so impressed! I cannot wait to see the next one! Nice job.

Love this format - short and to the point, well-considered details without becoming overly precious, just introduce, process, result - and a great result at that!

Many points I’d like to make: 1) I love this channel as you’d never get these unknown hot hatches on mainstream American renovation channels. Very niche and why I love it 2) I really appreciate that they’re short videos and not spread out over 8 episodes with a load of babble over every little detail that many people don’t really care about. I just throw an episode on during my lunch with time to spare. Perfect balancing. 3) I’m very impressed how in good condition this Starlet was (excluding the rust hole on the boot). Keep up the good work 👍🏼

Massive nostalgia hit! I had one of these little beasts about 15 years ago. Gave the usual Td04, front-mount, piggyback ECU, more fuel, more timing and away we went. Absolutely ridiculous how fast those things are with not much work. Scared the living daylights out of people when they first went with me for a blast and it ate V8s alive.

The most simplest way to efficiently restore a classic car. One of the Best restoration I’ve seen by far. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DOING SIR! you inspire us and most specially your sidekick who does interior vacuum 🙌🏻🥇🥇🥇

What a beautiful car

I’m part of a fairly big crew that restored classic defenders and other models. It’s not an easy task but it sure is rewarding in the end! You’re a beast restoring these cars!

Great result - gives those of us with rusty wrecks in need of work hope that they can still be brought back from the brink, so thanks for the inspiration!! Truly great job 👏👍

This was my very first car. Created so many wonderful memories with this little beast. That dump valve sound brings it all back.. Great job restoring this beauty to its former glory!

Man this brings back memories of mine. A facelift '95; rare with all factory extras and in near mint condition. One of the (if not) best cars i've owned. Was later stolen after i sold it by joyriders who had it for days and they couldn't blow it up, was recovered and put back on the road only needing a clutch and a few other bits. Unbelievable cars. Talk about value for money in the mid 00's. A legend. Japanese all the way.
