The fact that you do things like spend 5 hours adjusting the length of wires because it's the right way to do it is why I'm here. Your attention to detail is nice to see.
I have done a lot of industrial wiring for automation systems and cutting those wires to the exact correct length is the only correct way to do it. A tangled messy ball of wires looks bad and makes it impossible to troubleshoot properly. Bravo!
Two minutes in and over 50 jump cuts, and at least a half dozen animated graphics transitional effects. Sarah productions are made to engage. Do we appreciate her efforts enough? Do we deserve this type of video quality content? Thank you Sarah.
I have so much respect for anyone who can (enthusiastically) work with automotive electronics… who can look at a jumbled mess and “see” what it can look like after a helluva lot of work… and then make it happen. You did an excellent job recording your work in such tight spaces. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
@Primus54 I think sarah would know why I said that but oh gotcha sorry feel like I've seen you say that on a different comment on a different video now that I think about it 🤣
Hi, just my opinion, but who cares how other people make videos! I love your monotone humor , and the teleporting penguin is hilarious. I always hate it when people build cars and add a bunch of music and crazy production , showing about 10 minutes of them working on it, and then all of a sudden, it's done. Thanks for the video. Don't change ; you're truly original.
I totally understand how it's hard to build a 'proper' TH-cam video out of this sort of work, but you absolutely make it work. The pacing was great, the editing was clean and effective, and the penguin teleportation was delightful. I've watched this build from day one with nostalgia and love for these cars and I really appreciate all the work you put into making this right. Keep killing it!
Two things: 1: the penguin teleportation gag is awesome! 2: The insane attention to detail REQUIRED to rewire this car CORRECTLY is commendable. (Bonus comment, I am so excited to see this car run and the "review" video when it is all done!)
I have a VW history, so I first tuned in during the Ragnar build. As a result, I've been here for the Celica all the way through, and I have to say - When you started talking about the dash and putting the little shelf and it's little piece of vinyl - I remembered it. You're so detail oriented in going over this car that we all know this car completely backwards and forwards. That's wild and amazing and part of why I subscribed.
This is where most projects go to die. Electrical. The so not fun part when working on any car. I don't think people appreciate just how much fiddly work is needed to get this stuff to work properly. Thanks for showing your torture I mean work! You can almost see the finish line! Can't wait to see this Celica go down the road for the first time!
Don't ever stop with all the information you talk about while working. I love listening to your thought process's as you put things together or test stuff! 😊
Sarah, your videos of the story Celica have turned into an Automotive Adventure of trials and tribulations, and you have pulled through them all. The story may be coming to an end, but it will be a long-remembered story...........................
I remember those seat-belt/starter interlocks from 1974... My grandparents had a car that had them when I was a kid. The seat-belts just stayed buckled all the time and were shoved into the seam between the bottom and back of the bench seat. Where they'd have been anyway, had that interlock not existed. 😂
14:45 "If it isn't broke. Don't fix it" Purely for safety reasons, I would absolutely change the seatbelts out for some new ones. Cause those things wear out and doesn't last forever. It's usually recommended that they get replaced after 10-15 years of use. 🙂
Easily one of the best builds I have ever seen and even though some of the wiring videos might end up not being as "entertaining" for some people, I assure you for the people that actually love, build and work on cars this kind of stuff is just as awesome to watch as anything else. This car is truly one of a kind, built by a one of a kind person with talent and vision. Keep up the exceptional work Sarah!
I’d look into American auto wire company they make harnesses that are idiot proof, I’m living proof I did a 78 ford f-150. Yes their expensive! 1000.00$ but worth every penny! Updated fittings as well.
No one does the thankless work like our Sarah. Still doing it the right way instead of compromising. Wiring can be time consuming, but the reason we watch is this total dedication to getting it done right and even better than the factory. You always get this with Sarah! Press on Sarah!❤
Well Sarah, it's down to the wire...s. but this is the culmination of a lot of hours and more work than you can explain. But it's so well worth every second. An excellent resto mod. You can't put a price or time-line on passion.
I absolutely LOVE that you committed to the Penguin teleportation bit. Your videos are always so well edited - your content is spot on. Thank you for committing to your craft.
I had a 1977 Celica back in the mid to late 80's....loved the car so I'm really digging this content!!!! Looking forward to the end product - I'm sure you are too!!!!
I'm sorry but seriously you are amazing!! to do all this by yourself and especially the electronics and wiring !! thats why i stay on your channel ... entertaining and educational . thank you Sarah
Sarah, I really love your dedication and ingenuity! From 1 UDAF veteran to another, you are awesome! Thanks for taking us along on your project journey. 😃
This was a very entertaining and informative video. Your personality and humor makes it easy to watch you doing hours of this sort of stuff. Keep it up. Great work.
The work you do separates the "It's functional... enough" builds from the "It's functional" from the "It's functional and done to better then original" which makes it worth watching. (If for nothing more then inspiration to do better myself.)
Thank You for “thankless videos”! Seriously! This is why I watch THIS channel. The dirty details that take time and effort. Other car video shows don’t put this work into their videos and focus on the “big, fun stuff.” Big well equipped shops with lots of parts and lots of money showing the same old engine swap. This channel is different. This channel shows the real story. And, you have Penguins! And not just Penguins, but teleporting Penguins! 🐧🤣
As a former Air Force Comm/Nav technician I enjoy seeing wiring of plugs, have done quite a few on the F-4E, RF-4C, A-10 and C-5! FMC is the standard to shoot for! Great video editing and the teleporting penguins 🐧 is hilarious 😂!
First thing out of Leno after popping the hood: "What?! Are you INSANE?!". Keep in mind that Leno has cars built around 12cyl aircraft engines. The drive-around would have Leno drooling like an idiot over the way the build came together. Sarah's Celica is a definite for a "You don't see THIS every day" segment!
I wonder if the penguin teleportation is powered by cold fusion or if perhaps it somehow accesses the Asgardian Bifrost. Either way, it looks really cool.
I have really enjoyed all of the celica videos. can't wait to see it on the road. Sarah's skills, knowledge, humor and thorough attention to detail are awesome.
The penguin teleportation saga was just what I needed this morning 😊 Thanks for all the work you put into these videos, the serious stuff and the whimsical ❤
I've been working on bicycles, motorcycles, and cars for close to 55 years. I now ask myself "would Sarah approve?". Been a subscriber and patron since 7k subscribers.
as someone who bought a car which had an engine swap back in the 90's and someone with an electrical background i know how time consuming this stuff can be. I rewired the whole front section of my car, mashing together two different looms to create one that could have been factory. I also added a different fuse box, from another type of car, so now electrics from 3 different cars are mashed together and i'm feeling way better now, without the crappy wiring, hold together with tape, dangling around inside the cabin. So i really enjoy to watch this kind of stuff
Most automotive content creators do not include aspects of the more mundane jobs as they are afraid of audience retention declining, particularly in a time of instant gratification and short attention spans. This channel provides a better insight as to what is actually involved. SnT straddles between entertainment and education based automotive content where a majority of other 'builds' focus more on the entertainment side.
The Celica is almost alive! When I was a kid my parents had a 76 Celica ST so I know just how fun these cars are. Thx for all your hard work Sarah. 🐧⚡--------------⚡🐧
7:03 while you can do specific things to help you remember how to put a car back together like labeling and putting your hardware with the parts it goes with. What separates professionals from amateurs is being able to put a car back together when you have no memory of how it came apart. Being able to use logic and common sense and deduction to put the car back together.
Hi, Sarah! Considering how fast your videos rack up views, I don't think you have to worry about "boring content". The teleporting Penguin is a nice touch!
Every week I check out your # of subscribers and every week it's been growing leaps and bounds. So glad your channel is getting the love and attention it deserves. After this I'd love to see you do a 5 cylinder RS engine swap into a 90 Audi Coupe.
Okay.... I gotta hand it to you - the Penguin teleportation special effect was really cool - too bad there isn't actually a video on their teleportation rituals... lol. I love the excellent work you do, and I thank you for sharing so much of it with us.
Been here since the start of the focus( please finish that) but cant wait to see this finished as the attention to detail is insane. 5 hours to correct wire length!!
The fact that you do things like spend 5 hours adjusting the length of wires because it's the right way to do it is why I'm here. Your attention to detail is nice to see.
I hate perfection, it is the enemy of fun... I need to see that car do a burn out!
so so agree
I have done a lot of industrial wiring for automation systems and cutting those wires to the exact correct length is the only correct way to do it. A tangled messy ball of wires looks bad and makes it impossible to troubleshoot properly. Bravo!
Two minutes in and over 50 jump cuts, and at least a half dozen animated graphics transitional effects. Sarah productions are made to engage. Do we appreciate her efforts enough? Do we deserve this type of video quality content? Thank you Sarah.
Exceptional editing on this episode.
Yeah, it's almost too slick. Not sure how I feel about that.
I have so much respect for anyone who can (enthusiastically) work with automotive electronics… who can look at a jumbled mess and “see” what it can look like after a helluva lot of work… and then make it happen. You did an excellent job recording your work in such tight spaces. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
Primus sucks
Sarah. Electrical genius. Keeps getting smarter like the movie Lucy. 30%.
@ Lol… Sarah would disagree with you. But at any rate, my screen name doesn’t refer to the band. Cheers. 😉🤣
@Primus54 I think sarah would know why I said that but oh gotcha sorry feel like I've seen you say that on a different comment on a different video now that I think about it 🤣
I have so much respect for anyone who can work with a teleporting penguin on the premises.
Hi, just my opinion, but who cares how other people make videos! I love your monotone humor , and the teleporting penguin is hilarious. I always hate it when people build cars and add a bunch of music and crazy production , showing about 10 minutes of them working on it, and then all of a sudden, it's done. Thanks for the video.

Like the Ranger build, you can tell it's personal for her.
Love the fact you don't cut out the tedious hard work lets most people know just how hard/long it takes to restore a car
Only Sarah can make wiring a fuse box look like fun! 😊
Maybe not fun, but interesting.
LoL I don't know about fun, but doable! Wiring is my Achilles heel.
Two things:
1: the penguin teleportation gag is awesome!
2: The insane attention to detail REQUIRED to rewire this car CORRECTLY is commendable.
(Bonus comment, I am so excited to see this car run and the "review" video when it is all done!)
This has been a great build to follow. Gonna be sweet to see it drive!
I have a VW history, so I first tuned in during the Ragnar build. As a result, I've been here for the Celica all the way through, and I have to say - When you started talking about the dash and putting the little shelf and it's little piece of vinyl - I remembered it. You're so detail oriented in going over this car that we all know this car completely backwards and forwards. That's wild and amazing and part of why I subscribed.
I think many of us have gone that route.

Don't ever stop with all the information you talk about while working. I love listening to your thought process's as you put things together or test stuff! 😊
Penguin antics , retro snippets, and ocd wiring. Yes please!
There isn't a regular viewer who thought for even one moment the items in the trunk would not be super organised.
Sarah, your videos of the story Celica have turned into an Automotive Adventure of trials and tribulations, and you have pulled through them all. The story may be coming to an end, but it will be a long-remembered story...........................
We need a horn tone adjustment test. What does it sound like when you adjust it? Inquiring minds need to know.
yes we do........
I was a US Navy Fire Control Electronics Technician, and I love wiring videos.
It's wild to think this started 2 years ago, solid work as always. Looking forward to seeing the final result 🤙
It’s such a cool project it’s gonna be worth the wait.
I’m starting to think it will never be completed. I think the point is to have this car worked on endlessly.
Sarah, quit apologizing about the wiring. Everything you do is worth watching. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Nice work Sarah! You are a inspiration to alot of young people and adults too! Keep up your hard work!
Thank you for showing the thankless work. Now it isn't thankless. Thank you for showing the thank work.
So much goodness. Thank you Sarah for going deep.

It's usually recommended that they get replaced after 10-15 years of use. 🙂
You are the content,everything else is just fun.loved the transporting penguin 🐧
Oh Look! It is SUPER SARAH bringing her genius, great looks and work ethic to video ...embarrassing mechanics and engineers everywhere.
Easily one of the best builds I have ever seen and even though some of the wiring videos might end up not being as "entertaining" for some people, I assure you for the people that actually love, build and work on cars this kind of stuff is just as awesome to watch as anything else. This car is truly one of a kind, built by a one of a kind person with talent and vision. Keep up the exceptional work Sarah!
Excellent progress Sarah👍🫂 and fantastic use of a teleportation device 😂😂 so fun 💯🙏. Have a fantastic week ☺️
Electronics are not my strong suit. I watch in awe. So many Skills. Sarah Skills.
You are doing everything right Sarah. Keep up the great work.
Random teleporting penguin segment..
I really needed this 😂 I have a '77 Dodge that I'm starting the wiring of from scratch. Thanks from Australia for all your videos Sarah!! ❤
I’d look into American auto wire company they make harnesses that are idiot proof, I’m living proof I did a 78 ford f-150. Yes their expensive! 1000.00$ but worth every penny! Updated fittings as well.
No one does the thankless work like our Sarah. Still doing it the right way instead of compromising. Wiring can be time consuming, but the reason we watch is this total dedication to getting it done right and even better than the factory. You always get this with Sarah! Press on Sarah!❤
Appreciate the fan service on behalf of us penguin lore hounds!
Sarah, you have to train that penguin better!😂😅😊
Penguins are just like 12 yo boys , don't tell them/us not to do something cuz that's what's going to happen!!
The radio on the minute 4:03 said. Archive the dream you deserve.
no wayyyy, actually? lol that's sick!
Archive, or achieve?
Why am I so invested in this rebuild? I dunno - BUT I'M HERE FOR THE RIDE! :)
This is a great build.
Well Sarah, it's down to the wire...s. but this is the culmination of a lot of hours and more work than you can explain. But it's so well worth every second. An excellent resto mod. You can't put a price or time-line on passion.
Just the very greatest! Nobody blends knowledge and humor quite like Sarah! Much respect ✊
I absolutely LOVE that you committed to the Penguin teleportation bit. Your videos are always so well edited - your content is spot on. Thank you for committing to your craft.
Wow I haven't seen a Celicia in about twenty years. Nicely finished.
Sarah is the best. Her's is the only car channel I watch!
Great progress. Love the details and it’s incredible the quality of work you’ve put in to the Celica. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
I had a 1977 Celica back in the mid to late 80's....loved the car so I'm really digging this content!!!! Looking forward to the end product - I'm sure you are too!!!!
It's great that your shop has a catwalk 💃
I'm sorry but seriously you are amazing!! to do all this by yourself and especially the electronics and wiring !! thats why i stay on your channel ... entertaining and educational . thank you Sarah
Sarah, I really love your dedication and ingenuity!
From 1 UDAF veteran to another, you are awesome! Thanks for taking us along on your project journey. 😃
UDAF = USAF.
Thanks a bunch Sarah 🙏 ❤
This car is a masterpiece! You have out-done yourself on this one. That's sayin' something for you. I love the little interaction with the penguin.
This was a very entertaining and informative video. Your personality and humor makes it easy to watch you doing hours of this sort of stuff. Keep it up. Great work.
There is also a link posted above to donate some new jeans to Sarah… lol😂😂😂❤
I like the ST badge in the back. Nice touch. It's cool how you can make sense of the madness in auto work.
The work you do separates the "It's functional... enough" builds from the "It's functional" from the "It's functional and done to better then original" which makes it worth watching. (If for nothing more then inspiration to do better myself.)
Thank You for “thankless videos”! Seriously! This is why I watch THIS channel. The dirty details that take time and effort.

Seems like the perfect spot for a spiral staircase.
I thinks this is a perfect canidate for an episode of Jay Lenos Garage.
First thing out of Leno after popping the hood: "What?! Are you INSANE?!". Keep in mind that Leno has cars built around 12cyl aircraft engines.
The drive-around would have Leno drooling like an idiot over the way the build came together.
Sarah's Celica is a definite for a "You don't see THIS every day" segment!
I wonder if the penguin teleportation is powered by cold fusion or if perhaps it somehow accesses the Asgardian Bifrost. Either way, it looks really cool.
I suspect the new larger garage is housing a deluxe turbo encabulator.
The bit with the teleporting penguin is hilarious. These are exactly the details that sets this channel apart from all the other car channels.
I have really enjoyed all of the celica videos.
can't wait to see it on the road.
Sarah's skills, knowledge, humor and thorough attention to detail are awesome.
That wiring looks like you've done a superb job Sarah. Mind you with your attention to detail we would not expect anything else from you.
I love having breakfast with Sarah. Very satisfying progress!
The penguin teleportation saga was just what I needed this morning 😊
Thanks for all the work you put into these videos, the serious stuff and the whimsical ❤
I've been working on bicycles, motorcycles, and cars for close to 55 years. I now ask myself "would Sarah approve?". Been a subscriber and patron since 7k subscribers.
"THANK YOU!" A big 'thank you' for publishing thankless work!
Keep filming everything. It’s the reality of the struggle. Nice work.
as someone who bought a car which had an engine swap back in the 90's and someone with an electrical background i know how time consuming this stuff can be.

Great work. Your attention to detail is amazing. Well done.
Never fails I always learn something new from Sarah....tone adjustments on a horn!!!!! No way
i like watching your builds because you do everything right which i never have the patience or attention span to do myself

I would go out of my mind w/all that wiring, i'm in awe of the ability to tackle this nightmare of robot spagetti!
Beautiful car Sarah! It's going to be a beast. Always a pleasure to watch your Impressive diagnostic skills.

"Get the dream you deserve" on the radio 😮
You are the wiring master! You make it look like an art form.
I can't wait to watch you run through the gears and hear that rice power. I love Toyota's.
Hi, Sarah!
Considering how fast your videos rack up views, I don't think you have to worry about "boring content". The teleporting Penguin is a nice touch!
Awesome wiring skills! And your nails look fantastic 💅🏻
Soothing and fulfilling thank you Sarah.
First words out of the radio "consigue el sueño que mereces" find the sleep that you deserve. It may be a sign for Sarah 😂😂😂
The teleporting penguin bit was awesome. appreciate the extra work on the editing.
Wow just wow. Insane electrical wiring work. Respect!
I seriously learn soooo much watching your videos, One love!
I have trouble breathing from the smoke of the LA fires, but a new video from Sarah is just a breath of fresh air..
I liked your teleporting penguin 😅
Never knew I needed Penguin Teleportation in my life until now.
love your attention to detail, this has been a fantastic project to watch progress :) thx.
I love the way you show us everything
Every week I check out your # of subscribers and every week it's been growing leaps and bounds. So glad your channel is getting the love and attention it deserves. After this I'd love to see you do a 5 cylinder RS engine swap into a 90 Audi Coupe.
Sarah you are a master! Thanks for all your work on the Celica! Which penguin was the teleportor?
Awesome job! I learn alot from watching you wire stuff. Ty
OMG the teleporting Penguin was great, made my day
and the Radio said "Get the dream you deserve". The right audio on the right video.
Okay.... I gotta hand it to you - the Penguin teleportation special effect was really cool - too bad there isn't actually a video on their teleportation rituals... lol. I love the excellent work you do, and I thank you for sharing so much of it with us.
Great work on the electrical. Nothing messy.
Been here since the start of the focus( please finish that) but cant wait to see this finished as the attention to detail is insane. 5 hours to correct wire length!!
