Sweet ride,. can't wait to get a ride. Ohhhh , and those brown eyes are looking fabulous !
Most original Alice in Chains rendition of Angry Chair definitely goes to you. Also, everyone needs a Charlie in their life
Loved the sped up hammering. You could actually see the walls deforming. Great low tech fix!
Everyone should be so lucky as to have a Charlie in their life.
Best wishes to Charlie and his wounded back.
The AIC reference was awesome
I stand corrected, thought for sure you'd have to cut that hood to clear. Well done Sarah.
Great Scott you do fantastic work Sarah!
Hope Charlie's feeling well.
The Celica is starting to really come together! Can’t wait to hear it for the first time
Massaging the tunnel for a wee bit of clearance rather than cut and weld makes it so much easier. You are killing it girl, so glad you have some help now.
It is a joy to watch you two work together.
OMG... that Celica smiley face was priceless.
I liked the time lapse while hammering the tunnel. It clearly showed how much space you gained. If the headliner is damaged, it won't be your error. You're great at careful-ing. I agree about welding the roof holes, no choice.
The sound effects for the hammering were da bomb. 🥁
Thanks!
So… I was on the road and got my new video notification and couldn’t help myself. I hit the next rest area to watch. Fabulous video of lots of work and success for mounting the new heart. Awesome soundtrack, too. Charlie is always a win. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
POR--15 makes a two part epoxy putty that cures incredibly hard and can be sanded and painted over for those small holes on the roof. I used it on a seam of a 68 mustang where I had to weld in a replacement inner fender panel 18 years ago. It was sanded smooth and has never cracked.
If you have anyone there in the Tuscon area that builds the old school "lead sleds" like the chopped and channeled Mercs and such, they probably know an old timer that works in lead filler (what they used before plastic filler). The lead is melted onto the metal so the roof wouldnt get nearly as hot so you could leave the headliner intact.
Lead for those roof holes might be the best choice. Low heat required and it'll take paint just like the steel. Kind of like those cars back in the 50's and 60's.
This is what i tought also, but it's not only that time era when that is used. Common these days also
I'm having a hard time deciding what's more impressive. All this custom build candy or the fact that Sarah somehow manages to keep her stylin nails intact.
Hi Sarah, a possible repair for the holes on the roof is to use 3M panel bond to fill the holes. Use a small Ball Pein hammer to indent the small area around the hole, and then fill it with panel bond.
Yes, please don't take the headliner out... lol
Steel Wool and soldering iron
My redneck ass would use JB Stick Weld and a file.
@@tombennetts5191 How does that work? What does it do?
Use the 3M b9nd.
Under hood temperatures present a terrific challenge in a small engine compartment. Issues such as fuel vaporizing in fuel lines, rails, filters or pumps can manifest. Insulate headers, ensure cool fresh air intake, use extra electric fans etc. Keeping your engine running smooth on a hot summers day in Tucson will depend on temperature management. A cat appeared in one of your vlogs, tell us a cat story! Thanks Sarah :)
Another great show, Sarah! Love your quirky sense of humor and the fact that you show your work!
Spot welding those roof holes might warp the roof. What about soft soldering the holes with an electric soldering iron. No fire risk, no warping, metal finish, saves a lot of work and possibly liner damage as well.
You said "Metal on Metal" so many times, I now have that Anvil song stuck in my head. Keep on rockin
I love the fact that you still retain your sense of humour regardless of the level of frustration.
Always happy, (in a non sleazy way), to see a new video from Sarah. Not many people can say they have a V8 in their 70's Celica. 😉👍👍😎
Try a copper strip as a backing plate for the weld between the headliner and roof. Then you would only have to loosen the headliner rather than full on remove it.
Remove the headliner. Sparks will escape and 🔥 will happen. DAMHIK.
There’s jute attached to the steel, not possible without headliner removal.
That sucks.
@@SarahnTuned Have you heard of using lead as body filler? It’s the original body filler and superior. Yes, it will need to get warm to flow, but not welding hot 💁🏼♂️ options are optional 😬
@@orangetruckman - The melting temperature of lead is still hot enough to damage and potentially set fire to the sound deadening material.
Thanks for sharing
Looks like Charlie is doing okay. Love his solutions when your in a pinch
He’s not, his back gets smoked for a few days every time he tries to do anything like this.
@@SarahnTuned I'm sad to hear this. My heart goes out to him.
@@garyworokevich2524 second that. I had a pretty messed up back a few years ago. It's been a long road to recovery.
@sarahntuned How do you donate?
Are you and Charlie together?
I'm not even into cars but I'm hooked on this😎👍
Doing the holes in the roof, I would not open a can of worms by removing the head liner. That material is from 1974 and is likely to tear. Since I don't know what you have for body hammers, use the round end of a small ballpien hammer on the hole and hit it with a a dead blow mallet to dimple it down then use JB Weld to fill it, then body fill over that. Panel bond may not be moisture proof but JB is. I would not use All metal or Alumalead, I've had cracking failure over a few years in the hot sun using those products.
There it is!!!! The Sarah - n - Tuned V8 Hammer!!! Boom! This is what the world needs.
I'm totally absorbed in this Celica series of videos.
Leading the roof is a beautiful minimum heat solution. Old school craft I would love to see you master.
Sure you will get it done right no matter what path you take.
yep
You could use lead to fill those holes on the roof if you wanted. Since you’re not heating the roof just the lead you might get away with not removing the headliner.
Eastwood now has lead free body solder. Would save the freak outs in comments section when you are sanding it down.
Engine is MOUNTED! So sick.
love watching charlie work
Sarah. Look into the epoxy putty from POR 15 for the holes in the roof. It works great and I’ve never had it fail on many restoration projects. It gets hard enough to tap threads in it.
Yeah I was thinking about that also!
Yep, I've used it before. It worked great.
That's what I would do too. I have bodywork on vehicles with short strand filler filled holes that I did 30 years ago and never had any let loose.
One of the J-B Weld products would also work fine.
@@delukxy Yes, a 2part epoxy is the best way to go.
The headliner being pristine should be preserved. Use metal or fiber reinforced body filler On the roof holes. It’s impervious to water infiltration. Of all the areas prone to rusting, the roof is the least likely. Especially in AZ.
Thank you, Sarah. Now I can't take this song from Disturbed out of my head.
37 years in the Air force and I too have never used an acid brush for acid.
Use lead, or lead free solder to fill roof holes, no welding, just soldering iron. Also you can fill the rear quarter panel wilth solder and grind it. Old body shop technic so its all metal no filler.
I love the fact that you do projects on your terms . A Fan from Oz
It's going to be beautiful when it's done. Great work
Really surprised you don't have to cut the tunnel or firewall to fit new engine etc that's great :)
I cant wait to see this thing running and driving
Congrats. That's a huge milestone.
Charlie has such clean welding lines!
It fits!! Had to take a hammering, but it’s in there. Nice work. Yay Charlie and his fab skills.
Proud of you Sarah massaging sheet metal. Your learning new skills.
😎🍺👍🇦🇺
Have you considered fixing the roof using lead solder? The holes are small enough that you could just use a big Weller 100W soldering iron like they use for stained glass. The solder melts at a very low temp, so very little chance of damaging the headliner.
Hello from Glasgow. 👍🏴😁
🏁
So happy that you’ve managed to install the engine after so much time and energy!
The music with the hammer was epic! This car will be another baddass Sarah (and crew) Creation!
Over a Half Milly subscribers now! Woot Woot!!! Always great to watch! Itll be wildly impressive to see this thing be a drifty monster!!
Whoo!!!! Big V8 in Tiny Car!!!!
You should check out this months issue of Canadian Hot Rods. There is an article on a 73 toyota celica with an LS swap done to it. Same flares and spoiler as yours.
Back in the later part of the 80's, the Victorian police VL turbo interceptors & undercover VL V8's (in Australia) were retired from service which would come through our panel shop before getting sold off into public hands. We would fill in all roof holes from where the light, siren & aerial power cables went through. To save a few dollars, the dealership (Bayford) didn't want the headliner taken out so to prevent the headliner burning up from welding, we made aluminium discs to go under the roof & soldered the disc from the top of the roof. The low heat solder never burned the headliner & the metal roof looked like a file finished lead wipe.
Charlie is a genius with that flimsy fender fix
Exciting times! All of the fab looks glorious! Tough decision on the roof holes - but you'll definitely make it happen!
That project is starting to take shape and look sweet. You are smart and lovely plus you got great help, just wish I could be a part of the team.
For tiny holes use JB Weld and sand it down
The ole BFH is a very handy tool.
This car is going to drive so nice. I'm already envious
Sarah, hows Charlies back doing? Hope he's healing up!
Not good, still trying to find a Dr. that will do surgery.
I will keep Charlie in my prayers. I have back issues too and know how terrible it can be.
I am so glad Charlie and AFC are there for this passion project. Y'all work so well together.
How to make our day? Sarah video! whoop whoop!
Spirit level on the engine,
"Make the noise" !
So glad you clarified which Bono you were talking about :)
Mechanic tip:
You dont have to pump the engine crane for making it go up empty . Just lift the boom with your hand and it will stay where you left it
Attention to detail is the sigh of a master. Great video.
Congradulation on getting it in there
Ingenious solution from Charlie on the wheel well strengthening. :) I was with you on the not hammering out the clearance, but it worked so well and doesn't look as janky as I thought it would. Great solution from whoever suggested it. :)
Sarah the woodpecker😂
The speeded up hammering was funny!
Nice work! I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt like getting the engine solid mounted was a huge accomplishment. Fitting a W12 in an A4 was a major accomplishment in my opinion. Next week I'm going to focus on floor mods on my 72 Audi Super90 Variant that is being AWD VR6 swapped.
Ok a W12 wagon. Sounds cool.. i wanted to NA subaru awd a 65 mustang coupe oneday. Have it as a restomod daily. Not powerful just awd n sounds cool
@@Grimm-Gaming The W12 is really nice matched with the diesel version of the 0A3 6spd manual transmission. Cruising rpms are really low and 3rd/4th gears are fun stretching out.
Whoever's idea it was to dub in metal when you were hammering is brilliant, very funny.
👈🏻
I love this project, and I love your proper pronunciation of Seleeka and aluminium. :)
VERY impressive engine install. PLEASE reconsider taking the headliner out to weld up the holes in the roof. Countersinking the holes and filling them with JB Weld will not only work, but save you a shit ton of time. Rock on, Sarah! 😁
I like this project
Here we go again withTeam Sarah getting it done. Not settling, not compromising and no slack for our team. Love to see Charlie around as well as Angel. This is great viewing. We can always count on you to give it your all and you do! Press on Sarah!
Clearancing the transmission tunnel went easier than you expected because the little Celica _wants_ a V8! 🙂
Hah!! A little trade secret...
When Roots/Chrysler decided to squeeze the Ford 260, later the 289 V-8 into to the Sunbeam Alpine transforming it into the infamous Sunbeam Tiger, to gain clearance for the odd firing cyl. head and valve cover it was done with a large mallet!!!
Woo hoo, let the fun commence!
Sarah don’t take out the headliner you can use steel putty and it’s sandable light glaze and Wala ready for paint 👍
you guys are killing it on this build...nice work Sarah n crew!
Super work Sarah & Charlie! Another obstacle bites the dust! And another one gone, & another done, another bites the dust... "superb fab," just Fab baby... "just Fab! See y'all soon I am sure! CAUSE: IT'S SARA'S CHANNEL! J
That oil pan is really nice.
This is really cool build. Can't wait to see you give it the beans.
Neat! Keeping the engine under the hood is huge imo. Not that it’s gonna look like a stocker, but some folks might still think it’s a four pot till’ they hear it or see it lol.
Just a suggestion. For those small holes, I would fill them in with JB Weld Steel Stik (Steel reinforced epoxy putty).. Then, sand it smooth to match the roof line.
Thank you so much interwebs.
What did I just view I NEED
To now take coffee & thinking
Hammer time. Way to go. That will be one fast Celica.
Great video loving the detail that you go to 😊
This thing is going to be awesome. I wish I could find one of these that is as clean.
More metal music montages please😜😅🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻! Fun to watch you ( and anyone, really) realize your passion. I know jack about cars ( except how to drive one), but you inspire nonetheless! Wishing you continued success, Ms. Sarah!
i was lazy on my crown vic and filled the landau trim holes with fiberglass filler after i accidentally set the inside of the c-pillar on fire trying to weld. it’s held up fine outside for years, so i imagine whatever much better way you go with shouldn’t fail at all
The reduced lighting to emphasize Charlie's engine bay welding was really cool... Your editing and production skills are always getting better! Bravo!
Very solid work! this car will look badass when it's finished!!🔥
Charley.... Master of rigidity....Sarah approves.
