0:52 “can’t drive the car without getting a respiratory disease of some kind” flashbacks to the stance car road trip 💀
Major props to Automotive Aesthetic for getting it so clean. And finally, a video where someone did a proper blinker/headlight fluid flush! Glad you're keeping the Cappuccino and can't wait to see what you end up doing with it.

The Automotive Aesthetic team is the real deal! How many hours did they end up spending on the Cappuccino? 😎💪🏻

Hey, that rust is perfectly repairable, its not like the frame is rusted through or anything structrural, cant wait for Ben's luck to turn to the better

It's a unibody. That bonded panel is indeed structural. Repairable yes. But a lot of work to do so 'properly'.

This is good to read. If I ever find rust I hope to repair it as well. 😊😅😊
Don't forget to change the transmission and rear axle oils too. Both of those have breather which most likely were under water and allowed the tranny and axle to fill up with water too.
Some of the best Cappuccino rust I've seen. I'm terrified to remove my carpets for fear of confirming my suspicions based on what the floorboards look like from below.

you could just confirm it by waiting long enough to where your car splits into two which doesnt require removing the floor carpets

Or like how I waited to deal with the rust on my truck until the bottom of the door sill was basically falling off
Watching it get washed and getting all the dirt and grime out is so satisfying.
I'm so glad to see this cutie being taken care of. Mine was so rusted that I ended up selling it in pieces. Really looking forward to the next cup

In Europe there are some. I mostly rebuilt the engine with oem parts but for the body it's a completely different story.

I lost the keys to my VW bug a few years back. I decided to replace the door locks and ignition with a new key. I tore the door panels off and found bare wires trying to burn through the insulation. Later that week I found the keys. Life has a mysterious way of letting you find problems you didn't know about.
I hope the EVO has had the same AA rescue treatment before the Cappuccino, clearly more important.
Very happy to see AA doing well. Love seeing their services performed. Absolute professionals
This is the first time i saw someone properly flush blinker fluid, props to you guys. Jokes aside, i'm happy to see the capuccino being recovered
Excellent work as always from automotive aesthetics ❤
glad you are keeping this car going. such a cool car.
I always love when you have these guys on, such satisfying content. Miss Daniel tough, rest in peace my man.
I just thought, dropping the fuel tank and inspect the pump and level float is the best thing, to clean it you could use e85 and shake it really well, rince and repeat. Water would mix with e85 and be removed then dry it. I know you won't forget the gearbox / axle as the breathers might have been underwater too. This car is well taken care of and loved. Cheers from France 💪
The person saying it can't be done should never interrupt the person doing it. 🤘
I'm very happy to see you repairing the car and not just abandoning it
Love this episode. Rust is easily fixed and the car is looking great. Props for saving it
"Bake" the headlights to get the glue softened and split them apart. That way you can clean them properly and reassemble. Will be a lot cheaper than trying to score replacement lights.
As someone who used to work on greyhound buses, that needles and cigarettes comment gave me flashbacks
This is totally awesome! Keep up the great work boys!
Hell yea now I have 2 flood restoration series’s to watch
Looks great already can’t wait for the next vid!!!!
I found one of these in the parking garage of my apartment building a few weeks ago. It was so tiny and they had a great itasha wrap on it.
Its great to see the guys at Automotive Aesthetics again , I always love seeing the work they do.
If the ECU has been under dirty water, I would recommend putting it in an ultrasonic cleaner. Some local electronics repair shops can likely do that.
It kinda warms my heart to see AA helping Ben out in his time of need after all the support he's given them over the years 🥹
I’m loving this series already ❤ Best of luck! ☝🏼
Great video and I love the music this time, thanks for posting it. The music additions have been awesome the past couple months
Great seeing you at lime rock! I’m so sorry about all of this I hope you can make the best of it!
Im so happy to see the cappuccino getting the attention it deserves! Automotive aestetics level of work in nothing short of amazing! I can't wait to see what happens next,as always great content G&G
so happy its getting a second chance, love these little cars
Great episode, so good to see the cappuccino again!
Man, I'm glad you guys gave it a shot. Flood damage very, very easily totals cars, and it would've been easy to write off the Cap.
I'm loving this rebuilding comeback story, heart breaking that it happened, but heart warming to see her come back bit by bit!❤❤❤
This is making the best of the worst situation. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Keep it up, looking forward to the next one as always
Piano outro had strong sentimental vibes. Now I want an NB MX5/Miata
Making the best out of a bad situation. Thanks for sharing this, I am sure it was a crushing blow, but it is good to see positive progress ❤
Man that turned out beautiful. Awesome job from the detailers.
Hope you can bring that car back to life and take care of that rust. It nice to see a different car being worked on
... AMAZING VIDEO on detailing a car ! As in whoaaaa ! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
I love the cappuccino! Please take good care of it and keep us up to date! Thank you for taking care of it
Videos like this really show how much you love your cars. You know they have souls and you truly do your best. I know the rust is disheartening for sure but those panels are relatively easy to replace AND you caught it early enough before it spread. You got this Ben. Glad to be along for the ride. I know the Cap is thankful to be in your hands. Brighter days are coming bud. I know the road trip really got to you but the channel keeps growing and we enjoy being along for the roller coaster. Stick with it! No bad days!
So happy to see you save this car, it's so unique in the US, and it would have been an absolute shame to see it destroyed from one storm like that
can't wait for the next one, nicely done guys!
I have never been more invested in a youtube video in my life, next cappuccino episode when?
Finally another video with Automotive Aesthetics! Been waiting for this for months
Glad you were able to get if cleaned up! Hope the mechanicals go as well.
stunning, amazing work by Automotive Aesthetic!! makes me wanna clean my car too! 😍😍
Dude you're cinematography is un matched with those car vids. Capturing the felling of working on a car 🤟🏼
this was so satisfying to watch and glad to hear the Cap lives!
It is amazing watching master craftsmen at work. I loved the atmospheric music too.
So glad y’all are saving this one. What a cool car! One step at a time and you’ll have it better than brand new.
This was great. Can't wait to see what's in store for the little cappuccino.
I thought it was hilarious how small the car is when the guys were pushing it around. LOL! Finally, some content I can get behind.
Good to see that the car is in excelent hands!
Nice to see someone is finally changing their blinker fluid!
I love this channel and the people we’ve met along the way ❤
Saving this little fellow is a must after all the hassle, I am truly happy, you have plans with it!🙂
What a transformation!! Good job.
That is the most peaceful, tame, docile rust i've ever seen on a cappuccino. These things MELT and that rust is and easy easy fix compared to how bad they can get......ask me how I know :')
Yes!!! So happy this little car is making a comeback
Excited for more!
Reminds me of the Cappuccino song you guys posted in shorts. Hoping to see more progress Goodjob u guys 🎉
awesome work, don't give up!
Don't forget to drain the transmission before you start it. It's going to be much easier to get the water out when it hasn't mixed into a milk shake.
so glad you decided to save it!
all those detailing videos can SUCK IT, because THIS is a cathartic cleaning video!!
so happy you’re not giving up in this
I'm glad that you didn't lose lil red I actually love your little cappuccino I'm glad that you're able to resurrect him in a way I can't wait for future episodes to see you driving lil red again Godspeed and God bless
Nice dude, I’m glad you’ve decided to do this.
Looks incredible
Love it every time we get to see and automotive aesthetic video it’s just unfortunate it’s under such circumstances
Need More Cappuccino content!!
Tavarish has the mega flooded car project. Ben has the mini flooded car project. Intersecting to see how it turn out
I love this little car. Good job guys
Yeeeeeeeeesssss!!!! Thanks for trying to revive it! It wasn't fair to let it go.
Wow! I can't imagine how much work that ACTUALLY took outside of all the editing. Great job by those guys.
good luck, dude. it's come a long way in just this one video, so here's to hoping 🤞
That cleaningproces was really satisfying too watch.
so nice to see it's nice and shiny again!
Super lucky!!! ❤❤❤ Well done.
I'm imagining the previous owner seeing this video and just BEAMING that his old ride is being taken care of so well
that vacuum/tornador combo is an awesome tip!
glad you are resurrecting the cappuccino. sometimes a car is more than a car and becomes precious like my 94 miata.
So sorry it came to this, but glad we got some much needed detail content!
glad to see all in place, amazing result such a heartbreaking that happens in Virginia with flooding all over the place there
that was so satisfying to see it get cleaned
Suzuki Motors are such an underdog I am happy you decided to go with it:)
Hope the date went well! I remember that short you posted aha gold
Love this stuff
I never watch detailing videos but this was really well done with quality & music
Wow. I didn’t think I would like the look but they did an amazing job! That’s a bad little car!

So happy this lil guy is getting fixed!
Fill that engine up with fresh oil, run it and get the oil HOT, 212°+ will boil the remaining moisture out if you can get it that hot. I clear blown head gaskets cars out at the shop this way after repairing them. Works well! Glad to see the car getting saved, these are the best detailing content because it’s such a drastic change start to finish
Happy to see a cappuccino restoration. It would have been sad to see it junked.
