Thank you to Kamikoto for sponsoring today's video! Go to kamikoto.com/WD50 to save $50 on your order! How much do you think this RX-7 will be worth once it's fixed up again?!
I don't understand how you can find a beautiful example of an RX-7 like this after 23 years, and make it look better than showroom. This is beyond factory. This is perfection.
Trust me. No one details a barn find before getting it back in running condition. The rats nest removal, vaccumming, and a basic power wash is all that is needed before engine work takes place.
As an old school detailer for almost 30 years in Texas. It is super cool to see a younger generation take as much pride in their work. You all give me hope that bad ass detailer’s will continue to exist.
Not just a car, but a piece of automotive history right there. Even though it's not mine still I'd say thank you for treating her with this much respect. What an incredible transformation that was. Absolutely fantastic job. ✌️
It’s insane how rare of a gem this car is. It’s absolutely insane. As well as your detailing job. This completely made the car look like it just rolled off the lot again. Amazing job!
30 years ago, I worked in a detail shop. It still brings me great inner peace and joy to see a car brought back to showroom condition. This was a spectacular job!
Fun fact from an FD owner. In stock form around 140mph the car gets very light feeling and steering becomes less responsive as the car feels like it's floating
@@swilleh_ wish I had the opportunity to know, they would have to be a rhd version and I'm in the USA. I've had mine for about 16 years and a quite extensive mod list but the first couple years it was relatively stock and I got a good feel for the cars limits before doing and modifications
FUN FACT from a car owner, almost 99 percent of ALL cars that are stock feel light and the steering becomes less responsive @140 almost like its floating...
@@electronicgrandpa7974 I've had nearly 30 different cars at those speeds and none of them felt as bad as the Rx7. Even my 93 k swapped Civic hatch felt fine when the speedo was buried. The Rx7 feels like the front tires aren't touching the ground like when you got a drag car that comes off the line and the steering wheel is just an oh shit handle at that point
I've been detailing since I was 9 years old, and I'm 64 now, and let me tell you that you guys are incredible ! I thought I took things to the nth degree, but I have learned a lot watching this video. Time for me to 'raise the bar' and do things better. Thanks - GREAT video !

The RX-7 has gotta be one of the top cars from the 90's that has aged perfectly with time; it still looks so sleek and modern. Simply timeless. Stellar job on the clean up 😎
It's not just the attention to detail that makes me happy, it's the dedication to do so. When you said you do it for free I was blown away. That's passion.
Wow the condition of this Rx-7 is insane. Literally looks like it came out the dealership! That owner is extremely lucky to have this, im super jealous hahaha, good job with cleaning her up!
What an absolute gem these days. I love this car. I bet the owner loves to see it back in amazing condition. You guys went above and beyond. The RX-7 is one of the best cars ever made.
Brakes have to be replaced anyway. Just like a lot of other components. Many stuff will break or is broken already by just not using the car for so long. It definitely needs a lot of money to be fully operational again.
As a 63 year old Homeless US ARMY (Cold War Veteran) who doesn't own a vehicle 😭I really enjoy watching your video's on how you restore (gems) back from the dead .. Every Saturday I look forward to watching your channel with new finds you guys get.
Still one of the best looking cars from the 90’s in my opinion. You guys did an amazing job! I was say this could fetch anywhere from $60-75k on Sotheby’s, Bring a Trailer or Cars and Bids given the low mileage.
nah, they shouldn't have hosed the engine bay. it's a bad idea that can easily lead to corrosion and electrical faults. functionality should always take precedent over aesthetics when it comes to car, you don't eat off an engine bay, it doesn't need to be that clean.
Same i loved the car while in high school i remember my friends and i going to a Mazda dealership in Troy Michigan and wanted to "test drive" the car.. the lady was like sure go right ahead. Cant believe they let us 4 dudes take a sports car like this.. a manual... Of which we had no idea how to drive. Of course we enjoyed racing in for a hot 30 minutes before we had to take it back. Again.. looking back at it... It was a dream come true to be able to take it brand new and see what it can do. Miss those days!
This is like an RM Sotheby’s example. Mileage that low means this car is basically a collector’s item. I hope you guys get to drive it after all your work. Btw, it would be cool to see a “Where are they now” update on some of your past details. Hopefully some of them got back on the road.
so, if this rx7 according to you, comparing it to an RM Sotheby's example do you really think they would want to add more miles onto it?? especially if it has low mileage already, it will just lose value to what it could be worth right now
@@PixelFoxxGaming A car like this in a condition like this really ought to be driven once cleaned up IMO. I hope the owner appreciates the experience more than the value.
@@spazbandicoot unfortunately based on the condition it is and the fact he’s “scared of it” means it’s going nowhere. I think with cars like that there should repo guys who come in and take your cars if you don’t treat the properly. All the billionaires with Porsche 918’s and McLaren F1’s sitting in a garage doing nothing should have 2 giant guys knocking on the door getting ready to take the cars away on a truck. Can’t stand people like that and I don’t care how much money you spend on it
An RX7 that sits is an RX7 thats shit. All the seals are shot, along with all the suspension and hoses/lines. It’s gonna need a lot more than just a detail.
The mouse nest might be in the ductwork, they find ways to build through the blower fan intake. Also could see the flat spots on the tire while you rotated them for cleaning. Awesome car. Getting out of high-school when this was in production. Dream then and still a dream now👍😆
Brilliant detailing. You lads really put your heart and soul into this. I particularly enjoyed the 'real time' clip when you were detailing the inside. The sound of the brush emphasises how clean you get the car. Thanks again lads.
This is the fastest car I've been in. My buddy had one back in 01 down in san diego. We pinned a 178 mph going down the 5 south , felt like I was going 80 in my own car. Stable , smooth , this car is a true beast.
There’s nothing like those 90s sports car! What a cool era. I love how you guys left the interior matte, looking so original and not all shined up. Great work!
The owner is very fortunate because if I’m not mistaken, that’s an R1. Haven’t seen an original R1 in a very long time. 👏🏻 Kudos to you guys for bringing this back to life. Even if the engine needs a rebuild, the authenticity of a very low mileage R1 can fetch some serious coin. I wouldn’t doubt it can sell between 50-70g’s US. Everything is there and it’s all original. 👍🏻
Good eye! Definitely an R1 and I believe under 100 were made in brilliant black..I've got the more common Vintage Red color R1 and only 1176 made for 1993 in that color Best video yet and amazing find!
@@tylervanpatten7699 even more rare are the Canadian R1’s. I think about 50 or 80 ever made it over here. Those are really rare. 😎 I’ve had my 94PEP for over 25yrs now. It stuns me to see such an original FD. Haven’t seen those wheels or that engine bay in a very long time. 😂👍🏻
@@verdict1163 I was so focused on whether it had the oil coolers and the suede/cloth seats I completely overlooked the passenger side airbag. I’m so used to seeing my 94 I completely forgot the 93’s didn’t come with a passenger side air bag. I stand corrected. It’s an R2. 👏🏻
well if the owner allowed it to sit there and get rat infested then i dont think his reaction means much. what would be interesting is to see my reaction if i met him in person and doled out justice for allowing the car to sit and rot like that.
I had a 1991 dark blue RX-7, loved that car. Rotary engine didn’t offer much torque off the line but it would get up there and man it handled like it was on rails.
That car is a once in a lifetime find. Not just because it’s an RX-7, but everything looks brand new after they were done detailing and it’s been 30 years. That’s a Brilliant, Brilliant video.
Thank you for doing this. It really warms my heart because this could have been sold off or auctioned for a decent amount of money instead of getting this kind of love. And maybe because you do this for free, legends like this receive this kind of transformation.
This is a car i still lust over ever since i first saw one at a mazda dealer in queens new york in 1993. This is a diamond in the rough, and will fetch if not easily 100k with the milege alone. Best barn find so far.
I don't know why this video popped up in my feed, but oh my gosh was it satisfying to watch you guys restore this car. The Mazda RX7 was my dream car in the late 70s! You guys did an excellent job restoring this beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Que trabalho FANTASTICO!!! Parabéns por isso e lamento ver uma lenda japonesa como essa, abandonada e literalmente entregue aos ratos, mas a dedicação e o amor ao que fazem, salvaram esse mito da MAZDA.
? That seems like a unnecessary jab at their work. A few brushes and some soaps? If you want to be fast a drill with a brush on the end? The tools and set up have nothing to do with the work they did, they would put that time and energy in no matter the tools and setup.
What a treasure, why would you leave this beauty neglected in a barn for over 20 years!?!?!? Glad you were able to restore her original glory, great job!!!!
@@CheckRaiseBluffthat’s a fact, the cost of dust literally saved the paint and everything. No visible rust or anything on it, this thing looks awesome.
Shit just happens.... life gets ahead of ya. Ive got an uncle with a 67 BMW 1600 with less than 15000 original miles on it but he tore it apart in the 70s and never put it back together. Also my father-in-law has a Chevelle that he used to drag race in the 70s, same story. Took it apart then life happened.
in 2005 I was overseas serving in Iraq. I kept looking up videos of Mazda RX-8 and that new Rotary Engine that was going to come out with it. I wanted one so bad. I returned to the states and test drove it and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, Mazda wouldn't give me a good deal on it so I didn't end up buying it 😞... Seeing this RX-7 made me smile so much. Especially, when i saw the Floor Mats, don't know why those brought me such joy. Well done Boyz!
My favorite Hot Wheel car growing up was a 1979 Mazda RX7, so this car is an awesome find! Actually the '79 is a similar body style to other older one in his garage. I hope we can see it detailed, too! I have no idea what it is worth, but given its low mileage and condition, I'd say at least $50-60k minimum. I was a teenager at that time in the 90's and modifying cars was THE thing to do to you vehicle, so finding this in stock condition, should greatly increase its value. Awesome car and video!
@@j.a.r.family2576 while i agree its 1000x better than chopping the car into pieces or adding a bunch of rice modifications unfortunately this car is going to need a TON of work before anyone can drive it. My guess is EVERY single seal has gone bad from the car sitting for 23yrs. Again I agree this car looks Amazing , it's a true diamond in the ruff.
Love the attention to the tiniest detail on this, the removal of seats, console and rear wing are extremely important to get it done right! If you were closer I'd have you do my daily driver
Just stumbled across your videos last night. Wife and I watched them and were hooked now. Love this one and the Nsx one. This is a true time capsule for sure! Good work guys!
Makes me miss my '94 FD :'( I remember buying it at California and driving it to South Florida with a buddy of mine with his Rx-8. To me it was worth driving the car and appreciate the attention and detail you all did with this beautiful car. Sadly, I had an accident with mine and just couldn't afford to repair it which I then had to make the decision to sell it. So this definitely touches me in the heart differently so thanks guys 😎
@roddydykes7053 I think the rx8 gets a bit of a bad rep because of how available and cheap it is, making it so alot of idiots buy them, treat them like garbage, and then they break
the oxidations layer should come off after a few miles. the old ass tires is what worries me. they are probably dry rotted inside and will fail on a harsh bump
Literally my ultimate pipe dream to find a barnfind Fd! This is awesome, good job. Given the fact that it’s such a low mileage car, untouched and manual, i could see this car fetching 60-65k. Maybe more, maybe less. These cars have been going for insane money the last few years.
That was a brilliant restoration, I was particularly impressed with your wheel cleaning gadget that allows you to rotate the wheel to clean it thoroughly. poor little mice who seemed to have lived and within the car, the poor little fellas probably died of starvation, anyway, good job guys🥰🤗👌
The owner isn’t lying. This car is bat out of hell scary fast. In 1992 I was looking at the 300zx, the Stealth, the 3000gt VR-4 and the Supra. The Supra had a high dealer mark up, so I never drove it. The Stealth R/T and the 3000gt all the electronics and repair costs worried me but I loved the rides. Now the RX-7 scared me. It was like a tight fitting (snug seats but I’m 6’3) go cart with a racing engine and it was only a Mazda Wankel turbo. With its light weight it felt so dangerously fast that I saw myself getting in trouble. It actually made me rethink everything and I got a Galant VR-4. I eventually in 1996 got the last 300zx but I never forgot how the RX-7 felt.
Very good job. I flew into Columbus Ohio on a sales trip, rented a car just like that one, and drove it for a week. I darn near fell in love with it. Very fun to drive. Nice and tight like a go kart, it took corners well, and had excellent brakes. It was not as fast as some American muscle cars, but it could scoot pretty good. It looked a whole lot like that car. Black on black on black.
Cuando veo este tipo de videoprograma de IA siempre llego a la misma conclusión y es que hay que darle tiempo y tendrá tanto sentimiento que te llegará a romper el corazón. Muy buen programa, Saludos
This one was very cool to watch. I just did a client's 1986 RX7 convertible. It was in phenominal shape but needed a deep detail. I did damn near the same as you guys so the owner can list it on Bring A Trailer. It was such a fun detail, finally having the opportunity to have an owner say "I want everything, and I mean EVERYTHING detailed!" Fantastic work fellas!
The opportunity to breathe new life into a car is incredible. My grandparents have a 1980's Toyota Supra in their backyard ive been wanting to restore all my life. I just haven't got the utility's or money to do it. Seems like a great experience, love the videos! Subbed.
the way the interior plastic came out after you cleaned it was so satisfying to see. the way the plastic has a smooth matte finish looks great. I'm so nostalgic for 90s JDM interiors.
I’ve never watched one of these videos… That was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen when it comes to cars and a transformation and you didn’t do a thing to it but clean it! Just immaculate job, it opens your mind up to all the possibilities every time you see a beautiful car in disarray
Hi my name is gary I love watching me guys I live in Minnesota. I don't have a nice car, but just to watch You guys work. It's amazing from start to finish. Keep it up. Thank you for all the time and effort to put it into your craft.
At first I thought it would be worth around 40K. But after seeing how well she cleaned up and everything else including the engine work and the fact of only 8800 miles might hit 100K @ Mecum!
When I was 17 and in high school I dated a girl whose dad owned an RX-7. He let me drive it several times and it was one of the best driving experiences of my life. Its a beautiful car.
definitely gave a sub! You guys are beautiful when taking care of this car! love it! continue the amazing work! People are bless to have hard workers like you doing this for free!
These days none of these damn millennials have any respect or know anything about hard work and what it's like to do a good job because they feel like they're a victim and everyone owes them something I look at people like this and tell them to shove it up their ass nobody owes them s*** do some work find a job
I'm so sick of these so-called kids are grown men and women and still cried Wolf and expect people to pay for their s***. Hey what's going to happen when his grandmother passes away and I have nowhere to go it's cuz he has no friends and his family can't stand them that's going to be so funny
What a truly amazing find and an exceptional, museum-quality restoration. Job well done! That car looks like it just rolled off of the assembly line. For the paint protection did you guys put on a ceramic coating? Again, well done and thank you for bringing this beauty back to life!
This FD RX-7 will likely go for upwards of $70k-$85k on the open market. Bone stock with under 9,000 miles. Great find. Kind of funny that it seems like even the mice knew to respect it, not to mess it up or ruin it. Just sleep in it, don't break anything 😂
Such a beautiful car, that's my all time dream car right there, that's a whole dream to find one in a garage like that and I'm so jealous, good job though, looks absolutely amazing. Eventually I'll have enough money to buy one but that will take some time haha, nice video tho. Definitely nice to watch after a rough day yesterday.
I’m extremely impressed with how thorough you guys were in detailing every single part of the vehicle. My mom owns a RX-7 I believe the R1, I’m not positive. But it is the most beautiful thing ever. Unfortunately she wants to sell it and I just got a new car (22 Forte GT) which I can’t complain about, I love it but that RX-7 is something.
You guys did a great job. Especially on the paintwork. Black is always a difficult colour to keep and look clean, but looks sublime when it's deep clean.

8 thousand miles, the way it looked after the detail, the cars brand new..it'll go for 50 k to the right buyer if not more

Has to be the lowest miles on earth by far could hit a record sale number on bring a trailer

Best video yet and amazing find!
It's an R2. You can tell it is a 94 or 95 by the passenger side airbag, meaning it is an R2, not an R1.
@@tylervanpatten7699 even more rare are the Canadian R1’s. I think about 50 or 80 ever made it over here. Those are really rare. 😎
I’ve had my 94PEP for over 25yrs now. It stuns me to see such an original FD. Haven’t seen those wheels or that engine bay in a very long time. 😂👍🏻
@@verdict1163 I was so focused on whether it had the oil coolers and the suede/cloth seats I completely overlooked the passenger side airbag. I’m so used to seeing my 94 I completely forgot the 93’s didn’t come with a passenger side air bag.
I stand corrected. It’s an R2. 👏🏻
@@verdict1163 Yes good eye! Def R2
Absolutly awesome. Any 90's kid dream !
Would be great to see a reaction of the owner after the cleaning process
well if the owner allowed it to sit there and get rat infested then i dont think his reaction means much. what would be interesting is to see my reaction if i met him in person and doled out justice for allowing the car to sit and rot like that.
I had a 1991 dark blue RX-7, loved that car. Rotary engine didn’t offer much torque off the line but it would get up there and man it handled like it was on rails.
The love and care she deserves. Absolutely stunning work!
That car is a once in a lifetime find. Not just because it’s an RX-7, but everything looks brand new after they were done detailing and it’s been 30 years. That’s a Brilliant, Brilliant video.
Thank you for doing this. It really warms my heart because this could have been sold off or auctioned for a decent amount of money instead of getting this kind of love. And maybe because you do this for free, legends like this receive this kind of transformation.
You men did FANTASTIC detail work! Loved the vid, it brought back good memories how I took care of my vehicles. Thanks!
👍
What an absolute gem of a find! Definitely a beacon in automotive history demonstration innovation and timeless designs of the era!
Funny how only TH-cam channels find these 100k dollar worth barn finds.
Almost as if it was set up for views.
This is a car i still lust over ever since i first saw one at a mazda dealer in queens new york in 1993. This is a diamond in the rough, and will fetch if not easily 100k with the milege alone. Best barn find so far.
I have always wanted one of these cars. Great find, and great job in its restoration. This is very exciting to watch, great video!
The new shop looks great, congrats guys. Looking forward to more wheels off washes with that lift!
As someone who appreciates the hard work y’all do, it gives chills watching you guys get it done. Love to see it 💪🏼
haha thank you!
I don't know why this video popped up in my feed, but oh my gosh was it satisfying to watch you guys restore this car. The Mazda RX7 was my dream car in the late 70s! You guys did an excellent job restoring this beauty. Thank you for sharing.
Que trabalho FANTASTICO!!!
Parabéns por isso e lamento ver uma lenda japonesa como essa, abandonada e literalmente entregue aos ratos, mas a dedicação e o amor ao que fazem, salvaram esse mito da MAZDA.
Man... Having the right tools and setup sure makes everything look so easy to do!
Agreed but don't forget the SKILLS 😎
I love detailing cars. 🥳🥳🥳 I do it for a living
@@Super23486 or the ability to CUT the video lol I'm sure this was DAYS of labor.
? That seems like a unnecessary jab at their work. A few brushes and some soaps? If you want to be fast a drill with a brush on the end? The tools and set up have nothing to do with the work they did, they would put that time and energy in no matter the tools and setup.
@@djstatyk1540 Me too, It's my job
What a treasure, why would you leave this beauty neglected in a barn for over 20 years!?!?!? Glad you were able to restore her original glory, great job!!!!
Neglecting it in the barn for 20 years allowed it to be in this good of condition. At least it wasn't left out in any sun light. It will sell so easy.
@@CheckRaiseBluffthat’s a fact, the cost of dust literally saved the paint and everything. No visible rust or anything on it, this thing looks awesome.
Shit just happens.... life gets ahead of ya. Ive got an uncle with a 67 BMW 1600 with less than 15000 original miles on it but he tore it apart in the 70s and never put it back together. Also my father-in-law has a Chevelle that he used to drag race in the 70s, same story. Took it apart then life happened.
Apparently hitting a 140mph will mske you permanently park it. This car deserves to go to a owner that drives it and breaks the engine properly!!
Mortality I guess.
in 2005 I was overseas serving in Iraq. I kept looking up videos of Mazda RX-8 and that new Rotary Engine that was going to come out with it. I wanted one so bad. I returned to the states and test drove it and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, Mazda wouldn't give me a good deal on it so I didn't end up buying it 😞... Seeing this RX-7 made me smile so much. Especially, when i saw the Floor Mats, don't know why those brought me such joy. Well done Boyz!
My favorite Hot Wheel car growing up was a 1979 Mazda RX7, so this car is an awesome find! Actually the '79 is a similar body style to other older one in his garage. I hope we can see it detailed, too! I have no idea what it is worth, but given its low mileage and condition, I'd say at least $50-60k minimum. I was a teenager at that time in the 90's and modifying cars was THE thing to do to you vehicle, so finding this in stock condition, should greatly increase its value. Awesome car and video!
So sad this work of art was kept in the dark and not treated very well for so long. I appreciate that you gave her the love she deserved.
Basically still brand new aswell 😂
That car is brand new still. It was treated just fine. Not beat to death and chopped up.
That car has been treated better then most . Not beat on and modded
Um then we wouldnt have a video
@@j.a.r.family2576 while i agree its 1000x better than chopping the car into pieces or adding a bunch of rice modifications unfortunately this car is going to need a TON of work before anyone can drive it. My guess is EVERY single seal has gone bad from the car sitting for 23yrs.
Again I agree this car looks Amazing , it's a true diamond in the ruff.
Love the attention to the tiniest detail on this, the removal of seats, console and rear wing are extremely important to get it done right! If you were closer I'd have you do my daily driver
We did our best!
Is a fake vd, retardz
@@MauriBrix shut up
Just stumbled across your videos last night. Wife and I watched them and were hooked now. Love this one and the Nsx one. This is a true time capsule for sure! Good work guys!
Makes me miss my '94 FD :'( I remember buying it at California and driving it to South Florida with a buddy of mine with his Rx-8. To me it was worth driving the car and appreciate the attention and detail you all did with this beautiful car. Sadly, I had an accident with mine and just couldn't afford to repair it which I then had to make the decision to sell it. So this definitely touches me in the heart differently so thanks guys 😎
It’s crazy how much nicer the RX-7 was compared to the 8. Kinda like the 350z compared to the 300zx, but at least the 350z is reliable (comparatively)
@roddydykes7053 I think the rx8 gets a bit of a bad rep because of how available and cheap it is, making it so alot of idiots buy them, treat them like garbage, and then they break
Top-of-the-line. Your knowledge, skills, and work ethic are unmatched.
Car looks absolutely beautiful.
Those rusty brake rotors though??? 😭
the oxidations layer should come off after a few miles. the old ass tires is what worries me. they are probably dry rotted inside and will fail on a harsh bump
Literally my ultimate pipe dream to find a barnfind Fd! This is awesome, good job. Given the fact that it’s such a low mileage car, untouched and manual, i could see this car fetching 60-65k. Maybe more, maybe less. These cars have been going for insane money the last few years.
There was a 0km FD in Austria in 2008 going for 50k EUR, this can get more taking into consideration we are 15 years later.
closer to $60K on bringatrailer
@@KN-bw6gu really? what are you some price guru or furu? whats HEX coin $0.03 and PZEN coin $0.005 going to be in 6 months then big guy?
This is 75-100k bro lmfaoooo
You guys are hilarious with your $40-60k estimates…..not even close to what it will go for.
The amount of respect that went into this detail is appreciated as a viewer
OMG! I'd Love to make a find like that! Gorgeous!
ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ (ᴠᴇʀʏ ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ)👆🎁...
That was a brilliant restoration, I was particularly impressed with your wheel cleaning gadget that allows you to rotate the wheel to clean it thoroughly. poor little mice who seemed to have lived and within the car, the poor little fellas probably died of starvation, anyway, good job guys🥰🤗👌
What restoration it was brand new practically :)))
Npc💀
thats literally a very basic tool in every shop
What
@@TeodorD They restored it to a like new condition by extensive cleaning and paint swirl removal.
This is probably the most satisfying detailing video I’ve ever watched. Great job!
The owner isn’t lying. This car is bat out of hell scary fast. In 1992 I was looking at the 300zx, the Stealth, the 3000gt VR-4 and the Supra. The Supra had a high dealer mark up, so I never drove it. The Stealth R/T and the 3000gt all the electronics and repair costs worried me but I loved the rides. Now the RX-7 scared me. It was like a tight fitting (snug seats but I’m 6’3) go cart with a racing engine and it was only a Mazda Wankel turbo. With its light weight it felt so dangerously fast that I saw myself getting in trouble. It actually made me rethink everything and I got a Galant VR-4. I eventually in 1996 got the last 300zx but I never forgot how the RX-7 felt.
Wow, that's sick workmanship guys! Such nice work on that car. Super impressed.
Thanks so much!
This is one of the most satisfying videos I’ve watched in a long time! Great work guys!
You gotta appreciate the level of dedication and skill involved with this type of work.
Fantastic job!!!
Very good job. I flew into Columbus Ohio on a sales trip, rented a car just like that one, and drove it for a week. I darn near fell in love with it. Very fun to drive. Nice and tight like a go kart, it took corners well, and had excellent brakes. It was not as fast as some American muscle cars, but it could scoot pretty good. It looked a whole lot like that car. Black on black on black.
Nossa. Excelente trabalho! Uma verdadeira relíquia 😍
I've owned 2 Mazda's in my lifetime. 1978 RX-7 and 1992 Protege. By far the two best vehicles I've ever owned. Awesome video.
If I could find someone to detail my life with this much effort and care, my life would be ideal. This car looks so good after that work omg!!!!
😂
Cuando veo este tipo de videoprograma de IA siempre llego a la misma conclusión y es que hay que darle tiempo y tendrá tanto sentimiento que te llegará a romper el corazón. Muy buen programa, Saludos
I had one just like this. Mine was a '93 black R-1. This was a beautiful barn find and beautiful restoration.
Talented, we’ll trained, professional, and passionate. Nicely done!
This one was very cool to watch. I just did a client's 1986 RX7 convertible. It was in phenominal shape but needed a deep detail. I did damn near the same as you guys so the owner can list it on Bring A Trailer. It was such a fun detail, finally having the opportunity to have an owner say "I want everything, and I mean EVERYTHING detailed!" Fantastic work fellas!
Do you know what they were using to restore the paint i.e. what are waxes buffer brand and pads??? Thx
@@williamdavis8855 well, I know what I used. Lol! What WD uses is typically in the description of their videos.
The opportunity to breathe new life into a car is incredible. My grandparents have a 1980's Toyota Supra in their backyard ive been wanting to restore all my life. I just haven't got the utility's or money to do it. Seems like a great experience, love the videos! Subbed.
That car could be sold for a ton of money
@@pepper0075 I dont even know if it runs to be honest, its been sitting since like 2003
Man, I'd literally murder your grandparents for that car!
Thank you for the excellent care you gave that beautiful RX7. It was a pleasure watching the clean and polish you gave her!
the way the interior plastic came out after you cleaned it was so satisfying to see. the way the plastic has a smooth matte finish looks great. I'm so nostalgic for 90s JDM interiors.
I’ve never watched one of these videos… That was one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen when it comes to cars and a transformation and you didn’t do a thing to it but clean it! Just immaculate job, it opens your mind up to all the possibilities every time you see a beautiful car in disarray
The craziest part about this is the end..can’t believe all the hard work you guys put into this for FREE.
They probably ask for a portion of the sale when it’s taken to auction
do u think they dont make money off the video?
@@seen3804 well obviously I’m just saying
Hi my name is gary I love watching me guys I live in Minnesota. I don't have a nice car, but just to watch You guys work. It's amazing from start to finish. Keep it up.
Thank you for all the time and effort to put it into your craft.
I don’t normally watch these videos all the way, but, I watch this one all the way. Beautifully restored!
Can’t lie skipped to the end
At first I thought it would be worth around 40K. But after seeing how well she cleaned up and everything else including the engine work and the fact of only 8800 miles might hit 100K @ Mecum!
I was thinking the same thing!
yall did an outstanding job, that car is absolutely gorgeous!
When I was 17 and in high school I dated a girl whose dad owned an RX-7. He let me drive it several times and it was one of the best driving experiences of my life. Its a beautiful car.
That’s a hell of a find! Nice job indeed. I’ll do 3 easy payments of $49.95!
Man this was so satisfying. That car is incredible. Looked amazing afterwards. You guys really are some of the best around!!!!
The holy grail of Ohio barn finds. Literally my dream car.
So many beautiful Japanese coupes from the 90's.. Awesome job with this one.
You guys have done an outstanding job. Your attention to the details was amazing and the final polishing is beautiful.
Just like new! Amazing job 🔥🙌🏼 it’s like going back in time and seeing the car in all of its glory 😊
he drove 140mph got scared and he just parked it for so many years? LOL that's the funniest weirdest thing I've heard
🐈 😂
Awesome I'm hooked on this
What the heck. He went 140 mph and got scared? Very interesting story.
Beautiful find!!! Nice restoration!!!
Great transformation guys. Liked the real time interior shots that you mixed in, nice touch.
The amount of attention to detail you guys do cleaning the FD is just spectacular!
Personally one of my favorite car. Thanks for thecleaning and detailings
25K+, great job on the 100 point detail and beyond 👏🏾
ʟᴇᴛ'ꜱ ᴛᴀʟᴋ (ᴠᴇʀʏ ɪᴍᴘᴏʀᴛᴀɴᴛ)👆🎁.
Definitely closer to 50k+
definitely gave a sub! You guys are beautiful when taking care of this car! love it! continue the amazing work! People are bless to have hard workers like you doing this for free!
Nothing is free.
These days none of these damn millennials have any respect or know anything about hard work and what it's like to do a good job because they feel like they're a victim and everyone owes them something I look at people like this and tell them to shove it up their ass nobody owes them s*** do some work find a job
I'm so sick of these so-called kids are grown men and women and still cried Wolf and expect people to pay for their s***. Hey what's going to happen when his grandmother passes away and I have nowhere to go it's cuz he has no friends and his family can't stand them that's going to be so funny
What a truly amazing find and an exceptional, museum-quality restoration. Job well done! That car looks like it just rolled off of the assembly line. For the paint protection did you guys put on a ceramic coating? Again, well done and thank you for bringing this beauty back to life!
Absolutely in awe with the originality of the car!
Looks insane credit to you guys well done!!
This FD RX-7 will likely go for upwards of $70k-$85k on the open market. Bone stock with under 9,000 miles. Great find.
Kind of funny that it seems like even the mice knew to respect it, not to mess it up or ruin it. Just sleep in it, don't break anything 😂
Such a beautiful car, that's my all time dream car right there, that's a whole dream to find one in a garage like that and I'm so jealous, good job though, looks absolutely amazing. Eventually I'll have enough money to buy one but that will take some time haha, nice video tho. Definitely nice to watch after a rough day yesterday.
Just a car .... getting from A to B
@Carl Morgan just a hobby, wouldn't hurt to have fun once in a while yknow?
Stunning work gentlemen!
I would love to see owners reaction to this transformation!
I’m extremely impressed with how thorough you guys were in detailing every single part of the vehicle. My mom owns a RX-7 I believe the R1, I’m not positive. But it is the most beautiful thing ever. Unfortunately she wants to sell it and I just got a new car (22 Forte GT) which I can’t complain about, I love it but that RX-7 is something.
dont let her sell it esp for a forte at least a civic
@@pppcorn He has the Forte. His mom has an RX-7 she wants to sell. Reading comprehension my dude.
You guys did a great job. Especially on the paintwork. Black is always a difficult colour to keep and look clean, but looks sublime when it's deep clean.
