The care which with you give to each vehicle you build, I would totally feel comfortable buying a vehicle from you.
A lot of people have *Build* channels, *Buuuut* …
Sarah, I just love your on camera presence, your quirky personality, and deadpan-ish type delivery is what I look forward to, and it‘s what caught my eye the 1st time I came across you channel.
.
And of course the builds themselves are great to watch, I like to think you inspire women who thought they couldn’t do it themselves, but seeing you changed their mind and motivated them to try…..
*There have to be some out there, I just know it!*
There are women who have been impressed and motivated by Sarah
in my apartment building, one is blown away by her nails, which drew her in to
ask questions about her car. I teach her what I can with my minimal experience, and then suggest vids from Sarah that would relate to her needs. Over 500 vids since
2016.
Wow thats a surprise. 👀
You never cease to amaze me Sarah. The electrical work you’ve done to adapt the aftermarket ECU boggles the layman’s mind. I’m totally impressed with how intelligent, methodical, patient and persistent you are. I fly for a living, and you’d be my top choice to have as an AME (Canadian term… for aircraft maintainer) working on my aircraft. I liked your repurposing that gas strut for your status board pointer! Keep up the terrific, informative and entertaining work!
As someone they also has OCD, I can absolutely appreciate the attention to detail and I love that your channel is still relatable. Too many channels get huge and start doing these $100,000+ builds and have 30 cars no one can afford and it’s a complete turn off. I appreciate you building cars regular people can afford and taking the time to restore them the right way. I’d MUCH rather see these videos without much “work” than watch someone pay someone else to weld their titanium headers
You're an honest lady and your effort shows, in your facial expressions, don't let your fans overwhelm you. you have enough irons in the fire already.
I'm willing to bet that there will be very few issues when you go to turn the key. Your attention to detail is amazing. Don't ever change.
That angle looks great on you too, love the wavy hair!!!!
Sarah! You’re a 1 Lady show, and you’re doing it to PERFECTION! PERFECTION takes time, lots of time, so to all keyboard Ninjas, enjoy the show, because Sarah’s effort is second to none! So Sarah keep the speed you’re having! I’m having a blast seeing Mr Dos coming pretty much cleaner back to life, compared to the moment it rolled of the assembly line! You can’t rush ART SARAH! Keep rocking…
second that.
Pretty big moment to be able to energize all the wiring you did and see that things are working. It's an undertaking for sure to do what you're doing, so kudos on reaching this point. Hopefully it runs and drives soon.
Hats off to you for all the work you've done and plan to be doing.
After nearly 30 years as a mechanic, it's still a tense moment to turn on the power or start a car after a big job, so I totally sympathize with the care you take to make sure nothing gets fried.
Oh, and instead of a "C", you left us with a questionmark...
Hairdo looks great, you've got some Cher going on there.
As a multiple Fiat owner, it seems that wiring investigation and repair just goes with the territory. I appreciate how much time it takes ! Love the new hairdo too ! Keep up the great work !!
Sarah, whatever you do with your cars is interesting. Don't sweat about this content or that content, we love it all.
Now that was a father's day gift, thank you Sarah!
I don’t even care about cars in this level of detail, yet your videos are mesmerizing
Thank You, for making my Sunday night a little more special. I truly enjoy the humor, & dedication, You have for Your projects. & Quite Frankly, You’re Truly Easy on the Eyes
OMG, IT'S CHER. LOL love it, great job Sarah.
Literally Googling to see what Cher looks like..
@@SarahnTuned just look in mirror. But Cher can't build a car, so you win.
Much prettier than Cher
I just want to say thanks for taking me into your booth and showing me your focus. Love your hair doo and your dedication to Mr Dos. You are the best long term car nurse I know.
0:42 I love your hair when you let it go curly.
2:13 "deep fried caterpillar corpse" keeper.
I use the creepy green death line a lot automatically, some mechanics
give me a blank look, LOL.
3:41 "belly button camera mounts" keeper.
7:21 " Lam Blah, Blah, Blah" that will never get old.
10:36 I like the dark green Miata.
Very much appreciate the effort you put in to updating us on all
your project cars/truck. Glad the TT will get TLC from you.
I like the new ‘do! I would not be surprised to see Sarah cover “Believe” any minute. Hair: check. Height: check.
Great video!! Thank you so much for taking pictures with my wife and I. We love your channel!!
Sarah’s meticulousness is rubbing off on me from constant exposure. Every time I see the MR2 trunk, I get this uncontrollable urge to paint correct it… even if a carpet goes back in. 😱 Thanks for the updates, Sarah. 👍
I love your projects! Everyone is a challenge, but you have them all mapped out in your head.
A gorgeous hardworking mechanic, pun's that'll make u laugh for days, James May creeping in the background. Love ur vids. Thank u for all ur hard work. You've become the person I look forward to seeing ur next vids.
Love the wavy hair!!!

Hi Sarah the hair looks great, thank you for the update on all the cars. MR2 is going to be fun to drive when finished.
Your doing fine,don't over do it.Pace yourself in that heat and remember to hydrate yourself.We aren't going anywhere, so keep on keeping on.The hair looks fabulous and so are the vids.
7:40 putting the plastic underbody shield back on: Sarah videoed putting all the screws in except for one….. I cannot sleep til I know it was also screwed on.
i have to say this MR2 would have to be the best biuld on TH-cam at the moment. well done Sarah.
Thank you for the see through Tops!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love you so…❤️❤️❤️
About the heatwave, Lake Mead is drying up, and it is supplying Tucson, I hope the city will find another water supply, so you do not have to abandon the city.
Cheers.
"If you were here and I didn't meet you because I'm shy, thank you."
Rough quote but a perfect appreciation.
Thanks Sarah
(Far away and not there.)
You are almost there. Keep it up and as far as the TT goes just fix the clutch and drive it so you can focus on the Ranger.
Your hair looks awesome 💯🌹.
Your attention to detail is incredible too ! I can't wait to see and hear the MR2 run !! So get her done. I will be watching for the next update 🌹
This is just so impressive that you rewired the entire car and it’s turning out OK (so far). Well done, Sarah. Very few people could pull this off.
We love it when your headlights are on!!!
Cool beans Sarah! Great job! You are most definitely one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen!
Your patience with electrical is a super power! Well done.
Tip
Get and use a thermal camera to look for hot wires and components. Useful as well as fun to use.
cant wait to see the mr2 back and running!
All your videos are great and the rate you get the work done is impressive to all of us who build are own cars, in our own garage, by ourselves.
Thank you! Your videos are awesome and insightful. Your content is fun and educational. All the hard work you put into this channel, is appreciated. There is so much value and inspiration for men and women, who watch these videos. Keep up the nice work!
I love the fact that you show the board and at least in one frame it still has the "remove the protective film before use" sticker on it. Classic! I mean that in appreciation. As for Mr. Dose, great work Sarah! Yeah, that coolant hose connection on the top of the engine would bug me too.
Liked the update. I feel your pain with the wiring. I have 3 plugs with 12 wires total and that in itself has been a 2 day job.
Outfits on point today!! Nice!!!👍
It's ok , Sarah. There's no rush. If you rush you become forgetful and you might forget to turn the headlights off, like at 15:43. Some people will know what i mean.
You mean when Sarah forgot to turn the the AC off @ 11:47.
Motorboating was going through my brain the whole damn time I was watching that show I had to watch it twice and then that part showed up 1543 wow
You are a very talented mechanic. Your attention to detail and skill are impressive.
1st live wire and no smoke. You are a monster of a master electrical wizard. Incredible accomplishment. You need to give yourself more credit.... 🐧🐧🍻
Love the maintenance board and all the lingo. Flightline maintainer here, status/maintenance boards were life in the AF lol.
The consistency of your video production is addicting
Still can’t believe the amazing transformation of the engine bay!
Simply amazing 🤩
Forget the haters! The car part of your youtube us a bonus. Your jokes and humor are the reasons we watch. That and I'm sure the guys like to cat call thier phones. And no I'm not one of those guys! I am a mess and I'm not going to tease myself
I think Mr. Dos likes your hair. You two spend soooo much time together!
WOW! You look amazing! Awesome work on Mr. Dos also can't wait to see you start work on the other projects it's going to be a fantastic year. I'm so excited!
The new 'do' is fire. A very young Cher looks like you.
Today would have been my dad's 100th birthday. RIP dad.
I super admire your tenacity and attention to detail!
Sarah I think you are doing amazing with the project cars and how you are managing to present your progress to us.
This episode had my heart in my throat praying that nothing started smoking when you connected the battery. I trust your ability but I know unexpected things can happen sometimes in life.
Keep up the great progress but I hope you are making sure to look after yourself and your needs as well.
Wow.... Beautiful, quirky, comedic timing and you really know cars. Think I'm in Love. 😍 You are very fun to watch!
The hair looks beautiful. Surprised no one commented on it a couple of weeks ago. I love James May in the corner.
Well, you did this! I'm in my garage with a toothbrush cleaning the dirt off my screws and painting them matte black before I put the valance on my car!
Nice to see the status updates on all the cars! Really liked that!
It's amazing how a nice top can be so mesmerizing 🤓
Beautiful MR2 and one of my favorite cars!
Yes. I had a 91 MR2 Turbo and it was the most fun car I have ever owned hands down. Sara has a keeper there for sure.
@@jerryfaircloth *Sarah
Love the hair, and all the effort you put into that sort of stuff. I can't wait to see you doing a retro car review of the MR2.
Take care of you first and be happy. Life sucks sometimes you will be ok😊
Cher! You're looking great!
That hair though 😍
Wiring is looking great Sarah!
Scintillating hairstyle back in the day - looks nice - only came on board quite recently so missed all that !! Thanks for posting - et bientôt à la prochaine - TC🙂👍
Hair looks awesome!
great job so far, im glad you keep acknowledging the little birds nest too haha.. but perhaps youve left the high beams on...? 15:40 heehee
OH MY GOSH, first minute and twenty seconds . . . my heart rate!!! For that bulk small diameter hose, try the scrap yards, some of that retail stuff gets pricey.
Another awesome video. This time with amazing curls. That's all I got to say.
The most thoroughly flushed coolant system in all of Toyotadom.
Like the hair waves, look really fine on you. Great work on the MR2, it is so much work to do wiring without frying the car. Take time for yourself and avoid burnout.
i knew you would do a good job wiring. overall, good luck with your projects.
Mr Dos will (practically) be a new car by the time you're done.
Btw, your new hairstyle is very complimentary.
What could go wrong...? You're smart, thoughtful and a little crazy the car can't beat that combination.
Haven't watched any of your videos in a while. It's so nice to see your face again.
ummmm...15:47 was my most favorite part of this video !!! MORE please !!
I too am very familiar with the terror of making that last connection on a big job. You have both my congratulations, and my sympathies! 👍
I haven't watch your videos in a while but I have to I really enjoyed watching the technical video on the MR2.
A fusible link... that brings back some frustrating memories.
Your new day finger snap triggered a commercial for me!
Looking forward to more Audi content. A glimpse of that R8 was a nice treat!
Your hair looks great!
Can't help but laugh seeing James May in the background overseeing Sarah's work LOL cracks me up!
Get one of the vacuum kits to re-fill the coolant. The Speed Academy guys had a link to the one they use is a recent vid
With your attention to detail, you could build show ready street rods. What you said about using parts from the same aftermarket manufacturer, that's somewhat true with modifying old cars too. But things are more "universal fit", so they don't really fit anything until you modify them.
Love your new hair style - looks amazing.
Power Probe is a great tool for diagnosing electrical problems. I love mine! I totally get the caution. When your smoke testing wires, pray none comes out, because it's really hard to put it back in the wires!! 😜😂🤣
The wavy hair looks great!
2:36, No one is looking at the TT, Sarah. 😍
Kudos to UltraRacing bars! I had some on my 2016 Chevy Spark!!!
I love that generation of MR2. I would love to be able to do what you’re doing I just don’t have the shop or the skill. Will miss these videos when it’s all done but the TT should be a fun one to follow also.
digging the change in background music...I know it's subtle but somehow not faint, Vague enough to be a delicate swing through the thorns of fauto restoration.
you can use an inferred temp gun fairly cheaply to check for electrical heat
I have one in my tool box!
@@SarahnTuned I use it to quickly find failing circuits on Fire trucks, i enjoy your spirit, comedy and detail of repairs or upgrades on vehicles. The MR2 series almost makes me want one as well. Do well Sarah you have a great channel!
I wish our car meets were like this here in Greece...you're very lucky Sarah.
Another great video. Love your sense of humor and tireless work ethic!
Nice hairstyle and thanks for the update on your cars/trucks. Don't give up!!👍
Great Job Sarah! Love it! Just can't wait for MR-2 to be completed! Keep it up!
Amazing work as always and the hair is also awesome
The TT looks awesome. love the color !!!
Problem is your coolant tree hook up end is short.
Also you're right, flip the hose for best fitment.
Captain slow approves the wiring also admiring your new hair do from the shop's corners.
