This is beyond a restoration, this is a full on revival! But man, seeing all this rust makes me so grateful to live in a place that doesn't see snow or salt.
You are a madman doing all that work outside in the cold. Its alredy a huge undertaking restoring a car that's so far gone. But doing it outside? Massive respect, dude.
@@I-Human Thanks man, I guess you could say I was a little bit excited about my first project car 😂 there was nothing else I wanted to do that winter and the snow wasn't gonna stop me LOL
This took incredible dedication. I think a lot of people would like at the car initially and say it wasn't worth saving. You did your own thing and resurrected that car. Well done, man.
Having built project car before with help from my uncle and dad I know how much struggle is associated with doing such thing. I can't even imagine working alone. Huge respect, hope that you'll enjoy your car for years!
I don't usually comment on YT vids. I have to say "GREAT JOB!" I have had 4 RX-7s through the years and respect all the work you put in. Thanks for saving the FB.
As someone working on a 1986 project and we a 2 man operation, this gives me so much confidence and was awesome to see how you approached certain issues we are also facing! Have a sub!
@@aran7teen Glad to have ya aboard! The only way I learned any of these skills was to just jump in blind and start practicing, this entire project was done with a 200 dollar Canadian Tire MIG welder and flux core wire :p
this video paired with sum41 just encapsulates a distinct and amazing feeling. i would love to own an rx7 one day even if it takes this much work because it looks so worth it! awesome build
@@ecli3690 the inspiration for this video was me listening to this song while scrolling through my old pics quickly, I was like damn that goes kinda hard 🤣 thanks the kind words!
This is the beast video I have seen lately! amazing job man, i cant even imagine dealing with all this rust... when I repaired the sills on my is200 i thought that i was going to die lol
Wow!! How I wish this 4+ minute long video was over 30 minutes or so😂 There’s never enough resto videos from amateur YT’ers on here. This was awesome!💪🏼
@@wolfparty4234 Thanks man! you're in luck because I'm 40+ episodes deep in documenting my progress on this thing, check out my recent uploads! This video was just a compilation of tiny snippets from those vids
@ I see that now! Thanks. Wish you didn’t live so far away. I have a pare of Rx8’s leather seats in almost mint condition I think you’d love.. I live in Maryland “east coast” U.S.
Amazing job man I cant imagine how many more hours/days were added to this because it looks like your from a rust belt, a hour job turns into a 5 hour job with evrything breaking and a torch getting involved 😂
@@greaniebeaniez3070 Absolutely everything was a seized pain in my ass 😂 I estimate I've got 1500 to 2000 hours into this thing all together 🫣 a decent number of which were spent welding nuts to snapped bolts and praying lmao
Wicked stuff dude! Some serious dedication especially welding in the snow LOL! I think I recognize that car shelter and those mazdas, you from the island eh? I'm pretty sure I'm always swooning over your collection when I drive by. Got an instagram?
This was incredibe. I felt pain when i saw the floor, the rust in hard to replicate places, the rot. Did you even fix up chassis rail? I mean, this had a bit of everything. I'm so impressed.
I just can't believe you would go through that much work for that model.RX7 in Washington State.You could pick up a clean rust free shell Fer 800 .. Not to mention, how do you fix the rear subframe issue where it mounts to all that rust? Not trying to be super negative.You did a great job but wow , your time is worth money too..
None taken! There are a few reasons I kept with this absolutely mangled shell - I already bought it (1200 canadian with a running engine and a good spare fuel tank) before I knew just how bad the underside was - 70% of the reason I bought the car was to learn restoration skills, having a cool car at the end was just a nice bonus lmao. I enjoy working on cars arguably more than I enjoy driving them - People told me I couldn't fix it so I wanted to prove them wrong - The satisfaction of saving a classic destined for the crusher - Telling people at car meets that I bought it for like 900 USD is hilarious Also, the FB does not have a rear subframe, but I did have to reconstruct one of the brackets on the rear axle which you can see in this vid. All of the link points on the unibody were mostly rot free surprisingly!
I would've noped so hard at that rust, well done man!
Same.
This is one of the best "X built in Y minutes".
Man saying you did a restoration isn’t giving you enough credit. You did amazing work keep the awesome videos coming. Gained a new subscriber.
Thank you! Yeah, it's kinda hard to convey to people just now nuts this project was lmfao. Thanks for the sub brotha!
Genuinely one of the most impressive projects I've seen done. What a beast
I'm stoked to see that the TGT youtube channel lives on 💪 Thanks man!
@GilesVessey I'd say its closer to undead than living, but it's there! Preservation haha
This was more than just a restoration, this was an automotive resurrection!

wow man. so many people would've quit on this car but you did it so perfectly
cant scroll past without leaving a hell yeah
Great job man,
perseverance pays!
Man, I apologize. I had to skip to the end because it was giving me anxiety. You're a legend.
Killer vid, killer car and killer music man. Wishing you many years of enjoyment for your effort 🤙
The way you bring the car back to his glory...

Great build. Turned out awesome.
What a save, I had a 83 GSL as my first car and this brought back memories. Great job dude!
You are absolutely insane, but an even more insane welder holy
That is soooo awesome. Ill definitely be watching the whole build. So much to learn from you. Learning to weld is high on my list.

That's some dedication, man. Nice work
That was an impressive job and you are really cool!! Well done!!
this is what youtube was made for man
Crazy how far this rig has come and what a masterpiece you have created.
What a chad!!! Reminded me of the guy who restores a Mark 3 Twin turbo supra near my home, he took 5 years.
Right there. The indomitable human spirit.
Done a rebuild recently on a smaller scale tough and damn...amazin job man.
Very, very well done. I looove the end muffler, brilliant!
Amazing work! Maximum respect ✌🏻
So cool!!!!!! after sseing this, I should get myself up and continue my Jimny build
holy fuck. you did an amazing job. Another holy fuck because it was a one man operation. Well done.
subbed for this
i cant express how well the fb turned out
An FB rx7 was almost my first car, i went with a cheap volvo 240 instead and i love it. These rx7s are so sexy though. Congrats bro
Absolutely insane - awesome work!!
So proud of what you accomplished -- and this video is a fitting tribute to all the learning, planning, hard work, and perseverance.
@@eepjayerdnay Happy to make my father proud 👊
Oh man, that was a wreck at the start. Beautiful work, congratulations and enjoy it!
Thanks! It sure was, I have no doubt I'll be enjoying this thing for the rest of my life if I have any say in it :)

@@bartosz5029 I certainly started questioning my choices by the time I got finished with the passenger side 😅 Thanks for the kind words 👊
THIS IS SO SICK WOW
I have a little miata and i want to learn how to restore it and this is huge inspiration
Thats amazing! Good job and congratulations!
Wow!! How I wish this 4+ minute long video was over 30 minutes or so😂

@GilesVessey been there done that god I hate what salt does to cars.
Good job dude. You followed your dream and made it come true with your own two hands. Who can say that about themselves?
This goes dummy hard, hardest resto vid ive ever seen
Super super impressive man. Love to see it
That was awesome great work man that’s inspiring!
its more like a resurrection at this point
you know its gonna be a long hill when u can see through the floor of the car
Awesome work bro 👏🏻
Amazing willpower. Congrats dude!
Awesome job brother!
This is awesome! Many people would’ve just taken it to the junkyard with that much rust💀
respect brotha, nice work
Very cool ! underrated video.
Yea this is fu*king rad - nice job!!
Great video
That dorito exhaust tho!!!
beautiful
That is freaking awesome
Wicked stuff dude! Some serious dedication especially welding in the snow LOL! I think I recognize that car shelter and those mazdas, you from the island eh? I'm pretty sure I'm always swooning over your collection when I drive by. Got an instagram?
Thanks man! Yep that's me, my spot is becoming a bit of a landmark lmao, yeah I do have an instagram, follow me at @young.goat.garage !
This was incredibe. I felt pain when i saw the floor, the rust in hard to replicate places, the rot. Did you even fix up chassis rail? I mean, this had a bit of everything. I'm so impressed.
Thanks, it was an uphill battle for sure. If you pause it right at 1:10 you should be able to see the re constructed frame rail :p
🎉🎉🎉
Pretty cool.
jesus christ half the sheet metal on the car is brand new
😂😂😂
Sick to see this !
Insane
So much pain
Good job dude. Subbarunnied
Damn that was a crusty fb floor

This video is much better at 70% speed
I could see that, I tried to cram a lot of content into not a lot of time lol

how much did all that cost wtf holy cow
@@niqcantswm The car was 1200 Canadian, and I reckon by the time I had it on the road it was up to 6 or 7k. Then the engine build was another 12k LOL
