Can $1000 Get You a Rare Sports Car?

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- We head to Compton, Los Angeles to buy an absolutely wrecked 1985 Toyota MR2 (AW11) for $1000. We budgeted $1000 to fix it ourselves, and try and sell it for a profit! The Toyota MR2 is a legendary mid-engine car, and one of the best driving bargains one can have. The excellent 4AGE engine, found in the AE86, is what powers this little rear wheel drive pocket rocket. Hope you all enjoy!

Why is it not monetized ? Hope it happens for you guys soon.
I think you guys need to work a bit more on your negotiating skills though.. You should had started lower like 800 and than work your way up till you you get to a point where you both can agree on a nr..
And say something like...This is absolute the highest i am willing to go.....and do not be afraid to walk away...... In the end it is business and you try to make some money from it... Lets face it......its a 1985 car..
If you had negotiated right....I think you may had got it for even less than 1300 or less than 1000....You are probably going to need to buy Parts as well and i do not know how hard they are to get for a 1985 MR2
Tips Winston: flash up a one page vehicle spec on screen (I thought it might have been a rotary for example); show some repair details and fun happenings and trouble especially when things go wrong replacing parts and repairing not just opening parcels.. Cheers. Oh and don't ever take any negative comments I might make the wrong way: bad publicity is still good publicity since that guy is still frigging watching your video hahah!
@@robbleeker4777 yeah they should have started at a wrecking price of say $500..
Nice to see you made a channel for your passion guys! Will definitely be watching.
Winston: Isn't that like a felony?
C-Milk: It's.... California....
Is this the first time we’ve seen Winston not in a suit? 😱
he doesnt wear suits in their motorcycle adventure videos
@@Kukimuncher what if he's using a suit under the jacket
just watch closely at 19:42
It is rumored he does take his suit off when he showers! lol
you definitely haven't seen any of his motorcycle videos, haven't you?
I’m not particularly into cars. But you’re selling me on personality and production. Fun stuff.
Ha! Kirobo = Haro
Same here.
This is incredibly well produced. I've seen car shows on TV with far less production value. That was super entertaining. You chose a very cool and interesting car with a lot of personality. I hope you pick more underdog cars like this in the future. I double dare you guys to try and find a VW Thing. They're weird as hell and are a hot ticket collectors item these days. They go for $10K minimum in decent shape. If you could find a wrecked one and revive it you could make a killing.
I'm a car guy hrough-and-through. And I've been watching a ADV China for years. I'm getting the greatest combination ever... Winston and C-milk working on cars. I'm one hell of a happy camper.
Same here man 👍
Me too.... I mean also me not the hash tag.
Same here dude. Just discovered they had this channel.
I love it! Keep the pace, those 30mins passed like 5.
My thoughts. I am not even interested in cars, but this is quite watchable.
I especially liked the bit at the end where C-milk was reminiscing and ruminating. That reminded me (favorably) of some of James May's commentary in Top Gear.
Appreciate that!
Very much like "Regular Cars" YT channel, but a bit of a different spin -- I really like it!
Actually, the whole concept of "Worthless Whips" is a great idea, please keep up the great work guys!
I would love to see more in depth vids on the repairs as well (body work, engine work, etc.).
Great work guys!!
Very much, but more like Clarkson as he does the over-dubbing.
u suc
Reminds me of Mighty Car Mods! (Inb4 collab)
A 1985 MR2 is a perfect car for Winston’s synthwave aesthetic. It’s super popular to swap the 2ZZ engine into it,
@Automobile Addict or keep the 4AGE!
Not into fixing old cars at all but I would watch more episodes just to see Kirobo treat you like trash.
Never been into cars... but then was never into bikes, yet loved all the Churchill Customs content back in the day. I'm delighted by this first episode in the same manner.
It's classic serpentza+laowhy86 content, and I love it. And now you have Kirobo to up the quality of the theatricals!
For shame!
I learned how to repair cars for exactly the same reason as Winston. I also learned when I reach a point where I’d rather have a mechanic with a proper lift do it.
Did you still follow through fixing it yourself or did you go see a mechanic at that point?
I've allways fixed my cars myself before. But this week is the first time ever iam going to get a mechanic to do the service on my car.
I know exactly what you mean. I have changed the hubs on my car, the starter, lots of other things. But my steering column came loose. I saw a video on how to do it, I could have done it, it didn't require any special parts (but two pullers!). But it would have been a complete pain and I probably would have put it back together wrong. I was like, well, I'd rather pay a pro a hundred bucks to just do it rather than spend an entire weekend on it. And that happened and I'm still happy as hell I found someone to do it.
@@james5460 the problem is the number of "pros" who don't care about your car and do a shit job. Leave parts missing, disconnected, etc. Then still charge you top dollar. I guess that's why they say a good mechanic is worth his weight in gold.
I recently had to part with my 1988 CRX, also a natural 1.6 but FWD. The reminiscing at the end was spot on. I miss it.
The negotiation part XD
Dude: " 2000$!"
C-Milk: "1300$?"
Dude: "You got a deal!"
This idea of a car show and the execution of it is brilliant! It's such a good idea and the hard work and your enjoyment for this project really makes it stand out. I bet this show will get super popular - as it deserves!
02:58 WINSTON: "When I was younger, ALL MY CARS WERE CRAP" - Shows a picture of him and one of the best Mercedes ever made...
rc-wingman my personal favorite is 190E there are TONS of em here in EU. But i like that one too.
Bruh, I'm not even into cars at all and haven't been in my life, but this show is so good. Winston and C-milk has such great chemistry and the premise is so interesting.
Haha, the Robot is very Japanese :)) Fun stuff. Looking forward!
Yeah, I'd totally dig a little robot like that.
If this is your first episode, and this is the quality we can expect...you guys hit this out the park.
This is perfect, exactly what i was hoping for and expecting. Already watched it twice now. Your taste in cars is perfect for me. The AW11 is an awesome car and i can't wait to see more. I always wanted to see you guys working on cars and now my wish has been granted. This channel is going to be big in no time.
Nice!
love your username, perfection
This makes me happy that we will see this beautiful MR2 on the road instead of it being in the junkyard
My only complaint is that the video wasn't longer
Yes it felt short.
And the car wasn't a thousand bucks
This is the main video of the car but they've said they are going to go in depth on repairs and such with 1-3 videos once a week on the same car. Don't know when they will release more though with the whole no monetization.
Bravo. I've been following your guys' ADVChina and individual channels for a few years now, and I must say that you guys really know how to pull off content in unorthodox ways. I'm not even a car fanatic but this episode was the perfect blend of information and thrill.
I'll be back for more.
When I saw this video I thought it was from a channel with hundreds of restorations under their belt. Turns out this is the first video. You guys make great content.
I almost expected the restore would be spread over 25 episodes of small work each video like we're used to in all these channels. But to see it done in a 28 minute video was quite awesome. (Admittedly maybe you can create secondary content about the restore in more detail but hope you keep the one episode one car restore video too.)
Also, as far as TH-camr cliche's you haven't dipped into the "I BOUGHT A LAMBO" or "I GOT PULLED OVER" wells yet. That was quite refreshing.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it.
I've never watched a car channel until you two forced me to watch yours!
This is extremely impressive production value for just the two of you guys. Really awesome!
You put the feeling into words so perfectly. That's why we love driving old cars. Like a time machine, we are brought back to different times. That feeling
Been into cars and never been more excited for a channel. You two are awesome and absolutely enjoying this content!
Stuff like this makes me wish i had access to a garage, plenty of $1000 cars that could use some love.
You guys are just so entertaining to watch. The production value is insane as well and those drone shots are on point. Looking forward to having more great content to watch!
Nicely done, looks like I've found a replacement for Wheeler Dealers.
cyrex686 the only difference is these guys actually have to make a profit so it’s a lot better
My first car was a 4k Toyota Starlet rear wheel drive 😅, second one was SW20 mr2. Mr2's with the mid mounted engines make the experience completely unique.. they button down so well in the rear.. but wet tar can be dangerous if you dont learn throttle control. Amazing new channel boys.
Really good job guys! I hope this is the start of something big
I can't believe this. Not only 2 days before this I managed to get myself the 1989 MR2 I've been watching for 7 years! Total backyard find, under a cover and blankets for the past 12 years. Supercharged version with 113k miles! Got it for free! Doing a bunch of basic stuff on it atm. 1 rust spot about 4 inches long along the top of the window. Other then that it's pretty darn good...Just that I broke a piece when removing the starter to check it. . . the after market alarm has been a rats nest, it didn't come with keys or anything! Neighbor is a locksmith though so.. Cant wait for the engine video!
Being a massive car nut, an automotive engineer, a mechanic and a long time follower of Winston and C-Milk. I love this new channel and the stuff you guys are doing, as I always have.
Gotta love those pop-up headlights.
Just bought 1987 MR2 in the UK and love it
Great job guys. Would love to see the actual work done on the car.
In depth repair videos throughout the month.
They're doing a really different format in which one show is about the totality of the dealings with one car, beginning to end, and then they do follow-up episodes with the mechanical details of the different repairs for those that want the details. I think that's why C-milk is so prominent in this, because the mechanical details segments to come will have Winston front and center (mostly?).
It's a REALLY cool idea. I may steal it when I do a series I'm planning on modifying a gun :).
Outstanding video, gents! It’s great to see real “shade tree” mechanical and body work being done.
. . . off to watch Winston whip Mister Two into shape!
I don’t give a crap about cars, yet this was fully entertaining all the way thru. Good job guys
Loved it. I wish I was living closer, I'd be at every shoot.
We love you Snarky. Keep up the good fight. You're welcome to stay with us in LA at any time.
Love the content, wouldnt mind a bit more in detail clips of the repairing 👍
In depth repair videos to follow
Damn. I am so proud of you guys. This was amazing. The best part is that it is likely to get even better.
I love everything about this new channel, I'm not that much into cars but the production value is really good and the content is very rich. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see more!
This was so good I don't even feel like I deserve such awesome content. Everything you guys touch is gold. I can't wait to see the next one! What I wish American Top Gear was.
To add on the thoughts at the end of the video: The major reason why we can't get affordable cars as "fun" anymore (and they definitely don't apart from the ND Miata or Lotus models) is because regulations kill off any hope for lightweight.
Chapman said the key is "adding lightness" and it truly is. Since cars are now much heavier we don't get unassisted steering anymore: Less fun. Now they've taken away hydraulic steering for electric: Even less fun because they can't replicate the connected feeling of hydraulic. Safety standards are simply taking out the emotion and replacing it with isolation. They are refined in the wrong ways, unlike the refined quality of 80s-90s Toyota products.
I want to feel the road, the engine, and the brakes. It makes me appreciate Mazda and Lotus today. I have hopes Toyota's recent focus on performance cars (Akio said this himself) will bring us a new MR-2. I already love what they did with the GR Yaris.
Love this new series. Very well shot and edited. A new element to your guys’ channel lineup while throwing back to the old days of fixing bikes in your shop. Looking forward to more episodes!!
I've gotta admit, this really did live up to it's hype.
This is your best video to date, awesome, congrats 👏!!!!
Off to a great start guys .... and we're looking forward to the repair vids.
From watching Winston eat KLC in a crappy rainstorm on a scooter with 5k subs to this. You guys have grown a lot and so have I since I started watching. still remember those old videos and got me hooked. It's been a crazy journey these last few years.
I've always loved the reality of the interactions between you two. That's a big part of the draw for me. I could do without the "acting". Other than that, I'm 100% in. Great job guys!
I'm a car guy and I watch all your other channels. This is fantastic. I already watch a bunch of other car channels like this. This is even better now.
Hey guys, Hello from New Zealand, keep up the great work i love your work, hope to see more and more. Best of luck in 2020 :)
I love this!! I am a backyard mechanic myself. My uncle was a master mechanic (I am far from it) that taught me a lot in my younger years (when I could only afford junk). I do 90% of the work on my family's vehicles because of the price to pay a real mechanic. I enjoy it and I learn something all the time. Thanks for the great videos on this and y'all's other channels.
Loved it. It's a refreshing deviation from the norm!
The both of you are so perfect together. Your strengths are so complimentary and I love your content. I’m so excited to watch this channel grow and evolve. I anticipate big things. All the best on this new hobby inspired adventure.
much love
Cheers bois, another banger from the iconic duo
Awesome job! You guys are great.
I bought my 1986 Toyota MR2 new, I absolutely *loved* it, and I am still sad today that I gave it away in 2000. I so wish I still had my MR2.
Congratulations on your new channel. I wish you guys the best!
Cheers!
I was half way through before I realized I was wearing a Laowhy shirt. I don't have an MR2 though. Anyway, great production values as always. Two beers up (thumbs are occupied).
Love the end where Cmilk reminiscing and ruminating. Instead of other car youtube channels that's all data and wrenching/driving footage, they have no soul, no emotion. You guys knocked it outa the park on this one!
Great stuff even for people like me who don’t like cars in particular. I’ll like your chemistry no matter the context.
I do want to say that the video would feel smoother with beter transitions between the different takes, look at the one between the part where you told about selling the car followed by the reminiscing as an example of what I think can be improved.
Really hope this channel takes off fast, because you do earn it.
you just have introduces a hole new lvl of quality for youtube car repair
Loved it, thanks for including some video of Camaros from the year of mine...
Our pleasure. Glad you liked it!
I enjoyed this more than I expected. Winston seems more relaxed in Cali. C-Milk’s nostalgic turn behind the wheel at the end was perfect.
This is like a TV show! Reminds me of Top Gear crossed with Pawn Stars. You guys should pitch it to TV
This episode was so good. Great work C-Milk & Winston!
i was a bit skeptical about your "post-china" youtube future, but this is good stuff! I watched through the entire thing and I don't even like sport cars
Awesome, professional, well produced. As a retired Cali prison guard, all I can say about Compton: hey, every ghetto is "safe" during daylight hours! Really glad you've started this channel, since Wheeler Dealers died after Edd left the show. And how cool: a S.African with an American, instead of Brits! Good chemistry & the mascot is cool!
You should do a episode on part hunting.
Siked about the series.
Yes!!! I'm so stoked for this! All I watch is travel vlogs and car vlogs, so to be able to see you guys do both is absolutely amazing!! I can't wait for the upcoming content.
Eye protection would be a good idea.
Have you ever heard of the safety squint?
@@genericsomething yes, and it works about as well as a torn condom.
Always got to be one safety nut. We would never get threw life without you guys.
@@ratj4715 I don't want a thrown life though.
As a classic Benz guy I do hope you can do a w123 diesel from the 80's and a 500 or 560 SEC gas guzzling V8. Obviously your channel will need to take off and I pray it does because you guys deserve it. I discovered your other channels while living in China (Thank you VPN!) and got a real kick out of them. When I left China I rewarded myself with the purchase of a gorgeous 500 SEC so I think it is beyond cool you guys are now in America doing this channel.
Good luck!!
I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised
@@laowhy86 Groovy, C-Milk. Groovy!
This could be in any network. Awesome work, guys!
I like the addition of Kirobo!
So cool to see you guys actually doing the passion I've heard you talk about for years!
I recently lost my first and favorite car in a crash and the insurance company said it was totalled. Now I'm wishing I had taken the money and tried to repair it!
I’ll follow anything you guys do !
Good luck guys with your new channel! I was complaining for the past year that all DIY car channels went down the road. I wish you good luck and I hope that you have good success with this one!
I’m so sad you sold it. The colors were perfect too. I love angular cars and have an 89 M3 BMW. You should buy another.
I can't believe how good this is. I'm not even a car guy but I followed ADVChina. This is extremely entertaining. You guys can carry this on personality and production value alone. Great content and looking forward to more!
But is that steering wheel not in mounted straightly?
With the front end repair may need a wheel alignment?
@@farnthboy that or a problem with the subframe. It was in an accident so...
How do you guys notice this stuff I wasn’t even looking at it.
@@ratj4715 look at the steering wheel while they are doing the 0-60 mph tests. You can clearly see that it's not center while driving straight. It's off quite a lot. There's a scene where the camera is between Winston (driving) and C Milk (passenger) facing towards the windshield during these tests. You'll see it. I didn't notice at first until Peter mentioned it. I personally would had never drove it with that bad of an alignment. From my own personal experience a suspension table can literally break free of the frame resulting in a serious crash or death. It happened to me! It's physics. Speed + suspension pulling to one side, etc over time = a lot of torque and weight. Eventually something is going to give way, especially on an old vehicle. But Winston seems to know his stuff and probably concluded that it wasn't out of alignment due to anything too serious.
Sebastien Bolduc I believe you I just wouldn’t even think to look at the wheel. Am sure if we could see this car in person am sure their was many things wrong with it or didn’t look very good in person but than you don’t get a lot for that money these days to me and I know everyone has their own taste but I think it god ugly.
The parts with the little robot are fucking gold! So happy that you guys are actually doing a car show! Stay awesome!
Knackered at 7:19 .. you've been hanging around Winston too long
The production quality is on point, keep it up lads !
I loved it!
Criticisms: Show in fast forward timelapse the fixes, not matter how small or at the very least list them.
In depth repair videos throughout the month.
Great new channel boys. This is super fun to watch and i hope it takes off fast. ;)
The one constant in Aw11 ownership is the regret felt when selling it.
oh wow, I can't wait to drive mine!
@@CrazyCamo Me too. Its taking a shit load longer than 28:33 for me to get mine back on the road.
@@stephenbello1081 oh yeah? lol what was your experience?
@@CrazyCamo Im in the "not selling, no regrets" camp.
What an awesome concept! Guess you're gonna have another big channel in a few months^^
great show. might need a tracking adjustment next time :)
Super happy to see this show finally go live. Love you guys. Keep up the great work!
Great first video - love the C-Milk monologue at the end. Less so with Dr. Milk - feels a bit too scripted. May also be good to take all the basic specs and do a summary section either right before or right after the segment about buying. Overall, awesome first video - look forward to the next in the series!
Agreed. Hope they listen.
I liked the dr milk part sure it felt scripted but it was all for fun. Brings a little comedy feel to it.
Dr. Milk was kind of like a comedic relief. I liked it.
Nostalgia Ultra, this is a show is on fire in the best way possible.
Perfect, love it guys
Art and poetry with which one can interact on such an intimate level, in my opinion, are only found on wheels. I honestly couldn't do what you guys are doing. I'd end up keeping them all.
Well done guys! You've created a working man's top gear. The ccp has got nothing on you now.
Really watchable...can definitely tell that the two of you have had many years of history making videos and knowing what works. I almost wanted to see the repair work stretched out more. Looking forward to the future of this channel.
Would like to see more of the fixing of the cars and selling part. Maybe when you are able to get someone to do the camera work. Then you can both be in the videos working on the cars. Maybe add some tips on who to find parts etc. Anyway a awesome start to the new channel
Will do in future episodes
Keep it in the family for help.......
Excellent video.. content, editing and landscape.... you guys are awesome.
Great start and a really great car! Consider buying cars at auction. Great prices, bidding makes for great tv, and the mystery of the car's condition adds some mystique. Also, if you haven't discovered this yet, start searching CL just over the AZ border. If you want tips that can make quick money on a used cars with bad paperwork, let me know.
The Road Ahead Hey, I want those tips! I am in Phoenix. Oh, also, I saw your channel and you were in San Miguel? Funny, I owns house in Apaseo el Alto, about 45 miles from there (and much more dangerous, unfortunately).
I love this new channel, you guys are always fun to watch.
Winston and Matthew, if you guys want to get an auction car, let me know. I live in Phoenix and am a Copart member. Love you lunatics.
