Was waiting for you to change the cabin air filter for all the goodness inside. Also, PPE my dude. It's easy to think you're OK until 15 years from now when you can't breathe. You're fast becoming one of the best cartubers.
"It smells like high school in here..." Da hell kind of high school did you go to?! Thats statement is as t-shirt worthy as Jack's "All dreams begin with nightmares" 🤣
Just gonna say i found your first lexus video in my reccomended and ive been enjoying everything youve been putting out. Genuine great content. Keep up the great work, you make these vehicles look incredible!
Firstly, congratulations to you and your significant other on the recent addition to the family. Mate, I can’t say enough how enjoyable I find your content. As has been mentioned a few times in these comments, you are definitely up there with the best content creators. Cheers and thank you.
Hey mate, get yourself a turbo nozzle for that pressure washer, you have to be careful with them but they do a similar thing to the water that your fancy air carpet nozzle does, drastically increases blasting power.
you just finished off my sunday evenings youtubers .. which started with ….. matt armstrong then saving salvage ,samcrac,jack builds it ,drift games,GMG and finally yourself .. who need the tv!!!!
Love watching the work you accomplish! Great job!!! Only thing to think about is that basic steering wheel you added made you lose your cruise control. That's a bummer if you want to take a car on a long trip
Love seeing videos about 350z and restoring cause it inspires me i love these cars im saving up for my first car and i want to get a 350z love the videos definitely subscribing keep it up ❤
That’s an incredibly daunting challenge trying to resurrect that car. The video is awesome as always and criminally under watched and promoted by the algorithm. I hope your channel gets more attention soon because you definitely deserve it 😊🥰❤️🙌🏻👏🏻
I had an 05 350z for a little over a year, I LOVED it but it was sucking me dry in the financial department. I am out 14k on that car and I wish I had saved up a little bit more for a 07-08 HR. The only redeeming qualities about it was it had a Tomei exhaust and a nice pop and burble tune. It had no ac, no radio and just constantly needed work. In Jan of 2023 I had 3k, I was out 1300 dollars in a 2 week period. Love these cars and hoping to find a rare little find like this now that I have a more reliable car but good lord are they money pits. Gonna enjoy watching this series.
Great work on the interior. When I rebuilt my Audi that was flooded I had to do a similar thing with the interior but I definitely wish I had that air horn you used! When getting paint off interior spots I have had success with goof off just be very careful using it on leather.
Great job Michael, I think that was a pretty good find and after a bit of TLC shes already looking waayyy better. Just need some overnight parts from Japan 🙂 Can't wait to see what you have planned. Keep smashing it bud.
Hey mate, found this vid on my home page, randomly clicked and love the content. I thought its going to be another low production quality car guy thing. But you have blown me away, love the videography. Looking forward to future content
Thank you! I love the whole process of reviving cars and really enjoying the filming, editing, and tech side as well. Always learning a ton of new things every rebuild!
Dude- was the original owner,the one who sold this car to you? That amount of cigarette tar - wow.I used to smoke and my dad and brothers did-how awful was that -now i just crusade against the stuff.Waste of time,waste of money and i dont know how much health it diminished.Great channel and good find by the way.Happy new year.
Hi, your work is very good, I really liked how you left the interior, the only criticism I would make is that horrible steering wheel that ages the car.
Mad respect, car turned out extremely gooood. Only thing is I would've wished you keep the steering wheel stock, maybe just get it upholstered freshly. But other than that, amazing work 🙏🏻
Great work, Michael! At first, the car was worthy of being gutted enough to be another learner vehicle for Taylor's drift school. But after all the elbow grease you put in, it's a worthy car yet again! Excellent job saving it. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you! It was forsure destined for the scrap yard or gutted for a track car but looks like we should be able to make this a super fun roadworthy Z 😎
I would love to see a video about your yard and the cars there. Maybe you can rebuild and sell some of them, if they even are yours. Love the channel! Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany.
Scrubby bubbles and a steam cleaner removes cigarette tar instantly. I bought a Audi A5 from a smoker and there weren’t as many cigarette buds but it was nasty everywhere.
Love the channel bro keep at it 👌 just a tip with the steam cleaner on old interior plastics, you gotta be careful with concentrating the steam too long/too close in one place cos it can dry burn the plastic and cause it to go all ashy. I'm a detailer ask me how I know 😂
I would source a second hand carpet, cheap or second hand sport seats, maybe a cheap steering wheel, polish the thing up and fix the little issues search a cheap body kit with hood, some wrap materials and would look for used wheels or pimp up the old ones if posible, a complete forest of air fresheners shure would be a must have and some mousetrap s for peace of mind. with 2500-3000 usd that thing would shine up like a diamond, a cheap one, but, it would shine or at least sparkle. Some teenagers would shure love to give you 8 to 9 grand. 😂😂😂😂😂 The first car memories are the best😂😂😂😂
As someone who owned 2 350z’s. One of which I drive currently. Reply to my comment if you run into any issues. The one I see that you have, that’s a DE. Also the green coolant isn’t alarming
Fantastic work, well worth a subscription, the algorithm brought me here so hopefully you will see a big, well deserved, uplift in views and subscriptions soon
that Z was prob owned by Patty or Selma, Marge Simpson's sisters, who work at the DMV. great video Mr. Elsea👍 congrats on your growing family & look fwd to part 2.
Always loved the car back in the days and wanted to have one when I get my license. Unfortunately I grew to tall and can’t fit in it comfortably enough 😢
End goal is a really nice street car with some tasteful mods. The term "OEM Plus" is thrown around a lot these days so I think that describes what im going for here!
"whoever had this car wasn't healthy. between the mcdonalds, the cigarettes, the caffeine pills" LMFAO that got me
He got me with that one too 😂
@@ElseasWorldyou two make a great comedic duo.
As soon i saw it was automatic i changed video…
@@FunnyVidz44 he swapped the transmission in the video from today :)
He gaved me a bag of cigarettes and bottle of bear😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Quickly becoming one of my favorite automotive youtube channels! Great content
These comments keep me going, thank you!

I seriously forgot about cabin air filter, I always forget those lol. Next video we will see what that looks like 👀
Hoping you turned the vents on full blast before you started cleaning…
@@matthewmeade4811He didn't 😂
350z's dont have cabin air filters unfortunately
@@maz8092 doesn’t matter, guaranteed those vents are still full of nasty
Love this dudes content for some reason. Glad Freddy and the gang brought me here loo
Without those guys this channel would be nothing, I owe them a lot!
Its more relatable than everyone now doing supercars.
Cool project this one. That 350 really needed to be saved. Great work so far. Can't wait to see the next encounter! @@ElseasWorld
"It smells like high school in here..." Da hell kind of high school did you go to?! Thats statement is as t-shirt worthy as Jack's "All dreams begin with nightmares" 🤣
😂😂😂
Hahaha a smelly one!
Man, 500 bucks is a steal regardless! Assuming you already had the seats and the Wheel!
What an insane glowup so far! looking forward to the next one!
I did get the wheel and seats from a friend a while back, finally a car I can put them in ❤
When you vacuumed out the ashtray then it lifted out and there was just more cigarettes and junk under it, I laughed quite a lot. You're a brave man.
Like how did the ash get under the tray then under the console as well 😂
It's sad that bro only has 25k subs he deserves more
That's a fact!!!
Thank you, hopefully more people come! ❤
@@ElseasWorld If they don't their stupid!!!
Proud dad) we were waiting for a new video!
Keep it going! Your friend gives good vibes and content as well!
Just gonna say i found your first lexus video in my reccomended and ive been enjoying everything youve been putting out. Genuine great content. Keep up the great work, you make these vehicles look incredible!
3:49 that huge ass spider caught me off guard...
Same hahahaha
I didn’t even see it until my wife pointed it out, that sucker was big! 😂
Same though 🤣🤣
holy lord i noticed it right away at 3:33, red monster, you dodged a bullet Michael
Was searching the comments to see if anyone else saw that monster 😂
Great video - there is something wonderful about watching a car come back to life.
Couldn't agree more!
I have a full wide body kit for this... I am in Indiana.... DM me... special gift...
👀 ohhh will do!
@ElseasWorld Messged you on IG from my RustoModz account.
Ian here... sent you a message from my IG account
Firstly, congratulations to you and your significant other on the recent addition to the family.
Mate, I can’t say enough how enjoyable I find your content. As has been mentioned a few times in these comments, you are definitely up there with the best content creators. Cheers and thank you.
That means a lot, thank you so much 🙏
dude, that is some incredible work. love seeing the 350z being saved!
maybe the change in the center console is the most valuable part
True 😂😂
Has a remote start car alarm that's why he's trying to start got to turn key on before hooking up batteries
There is a remote start sticker so maybe that’s what it is!
Stoked for the new project!
insane amount of work, amazing results. Well done!
This was a super satisfying restoration. Keep up the good work !
Hey mate, get yourself a turbo nozzle for that pressure washer, you have to be careful with them but they do a similar thing to the water that your fancy air carpet nozzle does, drastically increases blasting power.
I didn’t know those existed, thank you definitely getting one soon!

It was a good day for automotive TH-cam! ❤
Love watching the work you accomplish! Great job!!! Only thing to think about is that basic steering wheel you added made you lose your cruise control. That's a bummer if you want to take a car on a long trip
This poor Z, withstood everything the previous owner did to it and STILL somehow showed life after years of sitting.
Love seeing videos about 350z and restoring cause it inspires me i love these cars im saving up for my first car and i want to get a 350z love the videos definitely subscribing keep it up ❤
AMAZING transformation!!
Subscribed since Day 1 of the Million Mile Lexus. I also found this video wayyy better than expected. Bravo
Haha glad you stayed around for this abomination 🤣. It’ll be sweet when it’s done though!
First time to your channel, Awesome video, mad it had to end, cant wait for part2
This is my absolute favourite channel, no doubt! Love from the U.K. 👍
Definitely feeling inspired! Browsing while watching your video.
That’s an incredibly daunting challenge trying to resurrect that car. The video is awesome as always and criminally under watched and promoted by the algorithm. I hope your channel gets more attention soon because you definitely deserve it 😊🥰❤️🙌🏻👏🏻
I appreciate those kind words so much, thank you for the motivation 🙏
And please share the video to help me get these views up!

Great work . Amazing transformation so far 👏
27:52.. the carpet is next... ( proceeds to pressure wash wheels)😂😂😂😂
I was told I have ADD 😂🤣
@ElseasWorld crazy 🤣🤣😭😭
Omg this is so satisfying and bro them blue seats go crazy that just set it off! Aw yea and I'ma new subscriber! 🖤🖤🖤
Great work on the interior. When I rebuilt my Audi that was flooded I had to do a similar thing with the interior but I definitely wish I had that air horn you used! When getting paint off interior spots I have had success with goof off just be very careful using it on leather.
That car was practically cremated the amount of ashes it had inside
Love the build! Great work!! Can't wait to see the finished product!
What an amazing work man! Apart from the steering wheel, loved all the mods.
5 speed manual attached to a EJ25 turbo would be a cool swap into a Z
The oem manual transmission for it is a 6 speed.
@@itachi1145 oh hell yes even better than using the subie gearbox i originally had in mind
That tornado attachment for the air compressor is legit! Wait.... "sliced biscuits"? WTH?! Lol
I really enjoyed this video! Love all your videos but this one had me laughing a lot lol
this is the content
What an amazing transformation with that interior, well done. The 350z is a wonderful purchase, with some work it will come out awesome.
More ash in this car than Pompeii. Grim. You're a brave man.
Well put haha
Congrats on 25k subscribers dude!
Thanks Mike! Super thankful for this growth 🙏
This car was an anti-smoking ad
His face when the radiator hose went was classic 😂
Transformation is exceptional great job
Dude you should open another youtube channel on Detailing cars Lol...what a great job..looking forward for the next video!
22:22 Highly Classified Documents on that card man!! LMAO
I love this channel! Keep this great content coming Michael
Your friend is hilarious. He had me rolling laughing while you were taking the seats out
“Can I have $500?”
“Why?”
“Well if you’re throwing away money…” 😅 ha ha ha ha
He wasn’t holding back 😂
can't believe you didn't pull the dash and all the interior plastics, super satisfying video still!
Wow there’s ash where no ash should be! Hats off to your brother for taking on this project, but it does look like you can save it.
Great job Michael, I think that was a pretty good find and after a bit of TLC shes already looking waayyy better. Just need some overnight parts from Japan 🙂
Can't wait to see what you have planned.
Keep smashing it bud.
Thank you!🙏
What a transformation dude!!!! This is a winner!!
Amazing how youtubers find cars, watches, shoes, trucks, you name it, all in the woods 😂😂
So nice to see this abandoned car receiving love

Hi, your work is very good, I really liked how you left the interior, the only criticism I would make is that horrible steering wheel that ages the car.
This one would a cool street car build man. $500 is an absolute steal of a deal.
Mad respect, car turned out extremely gooood. Only thing is I would've wished you keep the steering wheel stock, maybe just get it upholstered freshly. But other than that, amazing work 🙏🏻
A tip for window cleaning use a waffle towel when cleaning windows inside. Good luck with this project.
Great work, Michael! At first, the car was worthy of being gutted enough to be another learner vehicle for Taylor's drift school. But after all the elbow grease you put in, it's a worthy car yet again! Excellent job saving it. Can't wait for the next episode.
Thank you! It was forsure destined for the scrap yard or gutted for a track car but looks like we should be able to make this a super fun roadworthy Z 😎
Amazing work🔥🔥
Something really satisfying about saving relatable daily drivers than out of reach (for most of us) supercars. 👍🏽😊
I would love to see a video about your yard and the cars there. Maybe you can rebuild and sell some of them, if they even are yours. Love the channel!
Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany.
I probably will do something like that soon! As a Porsche lover I hope to visit Stuttgart one day ❤️

I will keep that in mind especially on the older more brittle turds I work on haha
@ElseasWorld nothing a bit of trim dressing can't hide most of the time anyway
With those blue racing seats and checkboard carpet, just put it back in the woods 😂
Man, I can't believe how much of this you did without a respirator and gloves, thing was truly disgusting; but props on the beautiful restoration work
When the coolant blew, I lost it! 🤣
Any plans on the lexus sc? I hope you do a video on it next
I would source a second hand carpet, cheap or second hand sport seats, maybe a cheap steering wheel, polish the thing up and fix the little issues search a cheap body kit with hood, some wrap materials and would look for used wheels or pimp up the old ones if posible, a complete forest of air fresheners shure would be a must have and some mousetrap s for peace of mind. with 2500-3000 usd that thing would shine up like a diamond, a cheap one, but, it would shine or at least sparkle.

Amazing work. Oh yeah nice James Spann T shirt
Haha you know what’s up! Best meteorologist on the planet!
@ElseasWorld Yes Sir!! I'm up here in Northeast,Al. and he is truly a hero.. The Goat.
I think I’m one of those sick people because I’m loving it 😂😂😂
Welcome! 😂

Nobody talk about the big spider that fell from that back wheel at 3:50
Fantastic work, well worth a subscription, the algorithm brought me here so hopefully you will see a big, well deserved, uplift in views and subscriptions soon
Much appreciated!
youtube recommendations blessed me with a gem, that was very comfy to watch
Glad you found the channel and enjoyed it! 😁
that Z was prob owned by Patty or Selma, Marge Simpson's sisters, who work at the DMV. great video Mr. Elsea👍 congrats on your growing family & look fwd to part 2.
The dirt inside that car was making me want to throw up! I can not imagine how bad that smelled!
Always loved the car back in the days and wanted to have one when I get my license. Unfortunately I grew to tall and can’t fit in it comfortably enough 😢
dude, i didnt think you could top miliion mile lexus right out the gate...but you did. Amazing Project!
Thank you!
great job, can't wait to see the next part.
what's the goal of the car, stock with racing look or modifying?
End goal is a really nice street car with some tasteful mods. The term "OEM Plus" is thrown around a lot these days so I think that describes what im going for here!
@ElseasWorld small widebody with flares, will look nice.💪
The 350z is probably the most underrated car ever in my opinion. They're probably the best bang for buck you could hope for in a vehicle.
Right?! I’m glad someone agrees with me!
@3:48 the huge spider running for its life from the rear tire
Talk about satisfying. This really helped my OCD.
Wow, that spiral high pressure $40 Amazon blower is AWESOME. I may need to get one.
waiting for more series loved it 🤟
Thank you! Should have next episode up tomorrow 😁
$500 is a great start. It cleaned up well, looking forward to the 3 pedal swap
19:43 for anyone wondering the song name is : EPIC FIGHT SONG NO. 1
Cant wait for the next video of this nissan. I have an 08 350z and I use it as a daily driver.
Beautiful! Next video will be up in a few minutes 🙏
Hoover and carpet clean goes along way 👍🏽
Great vid. I just hoped More of mechanic repairs and service for the engine. Maybe In later episodes
Next episode 😁
Was that an “Ernest” laugh big before the horn part?
I’m 14 minutes in and the hoods still up including when you were driving out of the woods…😜
Man, thats gonna be an AWESOME car when ur done. Whoever buys it will be 1 lucky person!!!!
