The absolute joy Sarah felt in just sitting in her new car seat is contagious. It's one reason I love this channel.😀
Gawd these videos are so much fun to watch... Bonus is I learn a bunch of shit...
Original forester side seat moldings looked 👍
Those of us with foresters appreciate your struggles!!!! So we don’t have to go through it and can just order it correctly the first times 😁
You are amazing, never boring.
You are relentless 👍
"Crazy with the cheese wiz" is not a reference I hear enough. I'm a driver. I'm a winner. Things are gonna change; I can feel it.
Me too!
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables; Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose..
@@SarahnTuned Butane in my veins cause im out to cut the junkie
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral...
I think the videos you create of things you do purely for the fun of it are among your best. You exuded nothing but joy, and even laughed at yourself over ordering the wrong part. 😉 As usual, the editing and music choices are Emmy-level… I know you put in crazy hours producing these. Take a bow! 👍
Pulling seats and cleaning under them is one of the more satisfying things you can do working on a car.
So this what your week end was like. Fine job very productive, very productive. Feels like we experienced the high lights. Through the magic of editing production, about 72 hours packed into short of 17 minutes. What I did in that time wouldn't make for content anyone would care to see. Really enjoy yours as a divergence. Thanks Sarah.
Nice seat in your forester hope to see it finish you should winning a Grammy award for Best clear car details and keep doing a great job beautiful
Seats and interior trim looks fantastic.
For some reason now, I must go out and buy noodles.
I would absolutely never ever underestimate you Sarah!
Sarah, I recently got a Ranger Tremor, but you can't get the black appearance package with the tremor. SO I ordered all the badges from the black appearance package separately. I disassembled the fender vent badge my truck came with, and then disassembled the one from the black appearance package, harvested JUST the lettering rom the black appearance package and reassembled my badge with the black lettering instead of the chrome.
What I'm trying to say is. I get it. Because NO ONE will ever care but me.
🥰 this so much!
I can’t decide which is more insane. That this is what Sarah does for a living, or that I watch ALL of her content, and I don’t even like vehicles.
thats beacuse we like Sarah :D
Yup
Her obsession with getting everything exactly right is contagious.
At first, after seeing the seats side by side, I thought the originals looked better. I should have known, your OCD trumps my OCD by miles and you nailed it. I'm canceling the intervention. I await your next video. Love your attitude and penchant for perfection.
Oh quick tip, to stop the spread of corrosion, POR-15 comes in silver. Coat it on the metal with a brush corrosion will be stopped dead in it's tracks.
A lot of work to change the front seats but SO worth it especially after you cleaned them. That’s going to be a unique Forester when you are finished
I’m sorry. Finished? When is a car ever “finished”?
I must be a Brute. Our host brings civility for our craft. With my past projects I was lucky to put back floorboards. You replaced an entire interior!? I concede .
The "Gump" is looking awesome! Super smart to use the Forester rails to keep the height the same as it was.....really super smart.
I would want the seat lower if possible.
@@cayman9873 the seat is power adjustable, you can lower it plenty that way.
@@SarahnTuned Are the seat mounting points in the STI/WRX the same as the Forester? So you could fit the mounting bracket, sliding rails, and seat straight in the SJ without swapping any parts over?
@@SarahnTuned you need a video wall withmultiple montors when you do content in garage with specs and tech of cars on the wall
Keep the lower Forrester piece of the seat. Changing seats makes such a difference in your car. I put BRZ seats in my 1988 200sx and Toyota 86 seats in my 04 Accord coupe.
hello, I could be wrong but check that the seat backs have the airbags accommodated as it should be. I seemed to see the labels inward and not outward. regards
Yet another example of why your channel is just the greatest! Much respect ✊
"Legends of the Hidden bolt" followed by after life Sarah is one big reason i love this channel! Yay Sarah!
I so love the comment you made, "Don't ever underestimate me". I don't think we do. I think you are so brill "sensei". What a worthwhile job on those seats. Wish I had your work ethic. Keep it up.
Sarah, you are endlessly entertaining. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sweats the really small stuff in automotive work. Thank you from NM!
While you were vacuuming I could totally hear you saying "What? You thought I wasn't going to do this?". And then you did. I LOL'd
Your attention to detail is absolutely amazing.
I don't know why... but the seat cleaning was very satisfying to my OCD. Thank you, Sarah.
Nobody fiddles with a car better than Sarah.
Nice update on Gump! Let’s get working on Grandma’s Ranger! 👍👍
You are making the most of the Subaru. You are and excellent technician too. I love the humor, double entendre and low cut shirts!
Just a transmission away from F. Gump being a "Super Gump!!!!"
Congrats on the Seats, Sarah.
I'd want the rear panel signed by Sarah just to hang on my wall as part of my "cool sh*t" collection🙂
Beautiful XTI in progress
Fender flares will look amazing. Love what you do and i wait every week for a new video. So entertaining
Let’s see a bolster test for the new seats👍🏻
Yea!! Forest Gump content!!
Yes, go all SARAH on us, we need that
I love the concept of modifying a vehicle with other OEM parts from higher trim levels or similar models with different desirable features. I'm doing that on a truck I own - makes people look twice and scratch their head lol
The perfectionist in you even added the diamond shaped vacuum marks on the seats.
You're awesome. 😁😎
I saw that old stale Noodle on the back floor, you little One Upper! 🤣
From the thumbnail I already knew you took them apart for cleaning!
Overboard? Yes! That's why we're here.
You're the dopest, I love your style Sarah!
Nice thinking on the height of the airbags, I don't think many would have caught that.
When I see someone riding super low, I holler out "Hey! Those vents? They're adjustable!"
Lol 😂
Sarah, you need to build yourself a rolling work bench/table. Working on the floor hurts my knees just watching!
Also, is the passenger side head rest driving you nuts as well?!
I wouldn’t worry about the seat gap. It will settle out. You would be proud. When I had the back seats out of my mini, I found a metal bracket that was unpainted and rusting. It had to be painted before it went back in, even though no one will ever see it.
Those humor of yours is what i really like! 😅😅😅
You’re not the only weird person. I just bought a new truck and I’m doing things to make it more enjoyable for me. The stuff for the Gump is pretty cool.
It's always cool to personalize your car and make it just a little different than all the other ones
Interior looking fabulous 👌!! That's some tedious work too.
It's amazing how NEW everything on your car looks. I mean, those seat frames. Brand spanking new.
Those Recaro's look absolutely great!
I wish I had noodles now.
The Gump is coming out really nice. Fast Wagons are always awesome.
Keep the Subaru trim piece and start a "Sarah Fail Wall". Put all your cool stuff up there.
The new(ish) seats look great! Using the OEM rails to maintain seat height was excellent thought and work.
Those seats are going to be HAWT sauce in your Forrester!
There ain't NOTHING better than a Sarah model Forester !!
The meticulous attention to detail, the fastidious need to clean, and the joy of accomplishing tasks are why I watch this channel. You are awesome.
14:14 ahhh the old spoof from that song by Billy "Crash" Craddock
you're doing a fantastic job there I can't fault you in any way and I'm so glad the MR2 is working great too.
I'm sure many will agree when I say that one of the most admirable aspects of your personality which flows into each video is that you are not afraid to admit your human.
You show everyone your mistakes and always explain them honestly and inadvertently comically enough to make me wish I hadn't taken that swig of a adult beverage right as your explanation is revealed.
The world needs more people like yourself,your friends have no idea how lucky they are to have a friend like yourself.
I don't give comments like this to just anyone,so stay who you are and please never change.
To some you are that moment in a day that brings something other than the same ol-same ol.
Damn Sarah your forester is looking outstanding. Happy for you. :)
Just soooooo awesome, great work! I don’t even care what ride you are working on, it’s your attention to detail that is awesome.👍
Yay those do look brand new now they've had the Sarah treatment. I think stick with the Gump trims round the front seats wouldn't of noticed the gap if you'd not pointed it out.👌❤
You're too funny! I love that pause with the grin😏 those seats are cool for sure.👏
Wow, those front seats look awesome! And that cleaning montage was satisfying to watch. 😊
I was a bit skeptical at first. But after cleaning those front seats, I agree that they look amazing.
Mr hump is looking great!!!
1) Keep the Forester piece for the seat
2) When you mentioned "letting the smoke out" of the ECU on Mr Dos a few videos back I figured you must have been reincarnated from an old electronics tech so I'm sort of surprised you don't have any cigarette lighter plugs for connections lying around somewhere 😉
3) WHO DOES YOUR NAILS AND WHAT SECRET SUBSTANCE DID YOU GET FROM THE AIR FORCE THAT KEEPS THEM FROM BREAKING WHILE YOU DO ALL THAT WORK? 😆😆😆
Maybe already mentioned, but..... you can get round USB outlet inserts on Amazon super cheap to fit the hole the cigarette lighter outlet is in. Not an adapter thingy, an outlet that fits in a hole. I used a square one in my dash for the USB connections for my aftermarket head unit.
if you cant find seatbelts to swap, you can swap just the one part out of the seat belt. All you have to do is remove the tensioner, pull the belt all the way out and it is held in the tensioner by running through the center with a loop and pin. once removed you can swap the just the seatbelt buckle and reassemble. Also you could get a sheet of foam and poke it behind the leather to fill the small gap in the side trim.
Another option is that it was just a salt belt car. My 02 wrx had the same issue, and the floor boards in the driver side also started rusting apart. It's just the nature of living in a wet environment with salted roads.
I didn't know watching a Subaru Forester seat video could be so entertaining. Well done!
Your videos are so satisfying to watch because of all the detail and time you put into each part! I'm the same way, if I take anything off my car and its rusty, it's either getting replaced or sanded down and repainted! Keep up the great work!
Keep the forester bottom and add son black foam if the gap stays after you settle in . Leave the seat belts with the contrasting clip if it matches the headliner. That way it easy is see when grabing for the belt.
I love the oem+ look and feel of this car. I think it’s a lot art in the car community! Great work!!
The white seat belt clip matches the outside white on the car
"Way-back-when" I did a similar swap with '04 STi seats into an '04 FXT. Swapped the heating pads, too. I still have a couple of side curtain airbags waiting to be discharged.
Regarding the gap in the front seat trim, you could fill out the seat bolster with some eva foam.
Low seats are for racecars, not street cars.
I admire your determination and bravery. Gump is looking really awesome.
Sarah, i absolutely love what you've been doing to Gump. And great job on Mr Dos also.
"that's probably the dumbest thing I've ever said"... Oh, Sarah! Not even close 🤣
I'm not sure what the dumbest thing Sarah has ever said is.
But it's not that.
Wow, just wow. This is going to be one special Forrester!
Sarah you could always plug a 12volt power to USB Adapter into your current power outlet, there a dime a dozen at all truck stops
The attention to detail you put into your projects is soooo next level! Great Job!
I dont know you, but I love you! You always put a smile on my face. Thanks for that, it was highly needed
Amazing. You are my OCD heroine!
It's sooo satisfying once each job is complete
Gump will be with you forever!
More interesting then most videos about interiors. Those seats look so comfortable. Tough luck about that rear lower trim panel.
You’re awesome Sarah ! Love your channel !
Teeeeeeeter Tooooooott!!! I am losing Focus and could totally lost my train of Focus while watching forest gump!!
Love the Gump Sarah and your attention to detail!!
Forester is looking great Sarah! It is absolutely one of a kind, just like it's owner.
The only weird part is that there are any dislikes of this video. Sarah demonstrated using creativity, sound reasoning and planning along with elbow grease to see her vision through. Well done!!! By the way, I think your 'Cup O Noodles' tee shirt is really cute/funny.
Sarah is the kind of person who would remove all the seats just to vacuum the floor.
Knew there would be a vacuum in this video as soon as I saw the seats.
Sarah , you are so fun and talented.. Mr Gump is starting get Pimped Out. ☮️
The way you say "I can't believe this is real"..... Cutest thing i have seen.......... I can't unsee it......
Seats are sick!!!😝🥰👍🎉
