Hell yeah that's big difference from start
Obviously I don't know how much money you have spent on improvements to your Suzuki Samurai, but the value of your car has probably gone up by 40 or 50%. I love your videos and I congratulate you on your skills and good taste in restoration.

Thanks very much, I'm sure if I calculated the hours spent it would only be a few dollars an hour but that's ok because I've been able to make content. Unfortunately the first 75 videos can never be monetized because of the music I used, but going forward I won't make that mistake, live and learn right. I just wish the editing software that I use that provided that music would have said that, but it didn't, so I had to learn the hard way.

@@FixLife119 I am very sorry that you have not been able to benefit from your magnificent work. just to encourage you to continue and comment that I have seen and found all your videos prior to the Suzuki very interesting
Damn, how good it looks! - You’re really good at this. Your last video on this Samurai should be a 15 min ‘then-now’ video.

Great minds think alike. I have already been thinking that's what I want to do for months now. I'll prob take the first or second video and try to turn down the same roads and recreate everything, then dub it together in a bunch of places, the old vs now.
Yeah i like the blk insert

That sticker on the driver's side should be the info about tire size, pressure, and weight stats for the Samurai. If you want it, I can take a Pic of mine and send it to you somehow. Really doesn't matter since you and I both have bigger tires than stock...lol

Thanks, but like you said it wouldn't really match up. I do kinda wonder why the stickers above the windshield still had the lettering but the tire sticker lettering was totally gone.

No idea. Could have been what they were exposed to. Like the one in the door probably saw a lot more dirt and grime and water where the ones under the windshield just saw sun. Or maybe even the paint that was on them was different.
That's just cold matured vehicles all do
In Spain and especially in the Canary Islands where I live, a Suzuki Samurai in good mechanical and paint condition can be worth about 6,500 or 7,000 dollars. I have one that has only traveled 48,000 km, that has the original factory mechanics and paint, and I wouldn't sell it for less than $8,000.

Sounds like you've got a good one, and such a beautiful place you live. 48kkm is nothing, that's like new! The prices are all over the place here, I've seen them between $5k and $20k+. Most are around the prices you're saying though.
Goibg be brand new used again
