1972 Celica Motor Swap - Part 1

Join Ian and his crew as the endeavor to pull the old but original 18rc motor from the engine bay of #dalesdragon to make way for a real TRD Classic. Time is tight and parts are scarce so check back for part 2 to see if Ian can get the new unit in place and running in time for the first racing events of the season.
Also, if you haven't already, please be like one of our 500+ awesome friends and subscribe to the channel. We'd sure appreciate it. If you are one of the 500 then at least stick around for the middle of the video where Ian will gush and gush and pour his love out just for you... or something like that.

All music in this video is performed by Ian.. but its all written by other people.. hopefully TH-cam won't pull our video down.
Another thing that deserves a shoutout is the blackmagic camera app for iPhone. You might think that we bought a fancy camera but you would be wrong. The majority of this video was shot on an iPhone using this free app from blackmagic. This is not an ad.. we just love it. Download it on your phone and try it out. It will NOT disappoint you. apps.apple.com/us/app/blackma...

Ian here - I'll be honest with y'all.. I really like this one. It feels like these vlog style videos get tighter every time. I hope you think so too. Let me know here in the comments if you felt like any sections were too long, too short, too much detail, not enough detail, etc. We make this videos to document what we are doing but YOU are the audience. I'd just like to hear some feedback, good or bad, this time around. Whataya got?
