I just got a toyota celica 1988 car as an inheritance gift from my Grandmother (who is still alive btw, the car is in my name). This video really gave me an insight in how to start working on the car. Thanks for the tips!

To think that Zack is going to work in this car in his channel speaks value.

These episodes were peak donut media before they strayed away from the formula for awesomeness.

I think this was the video that pushed me to actually get my hands dirty. I'm a little late to mention this, but the push this video gave me made me successfully bring an abandoned Mustang back to life. Fast-forward till now and I'm constantly driving it across towns, still wanting to better it. So, thanks <3

My project car is my Alfa Romeo 146 that my Dad gifted me when I was going through a rough time. I've never been much into cars but now I'm really started to get interested I wish I had learnt more from my Grandpa, he was a great mechanic! It's gonna be a journey but thank you guys for giving me the motivation I needed to get in there and start to work on it ❤️

The Money Pit Miata and this whole series is probably the best Edu Series on cares on youtube and even though its 2 years old its aged like wine. So much useful Information in the whole series i end up coming back because i remember Zach breaking it down for me here better than anyone else when i need a question answered.

The pry bar is also very useful for breaking into houses to get more money for upgrades to your project car

In all honesty it’s very hard as a 20/21 in a week year old with nobody in the industry to show you, I just got my first stick shift car and I’ve finally gotten to the point where I’m not embarrassed to let people in my passenger seat (2003 fora escort zx2) I just am very interested in being able to know about my car and be able to add a couple hp or make her sound extra sexy, but I have no idea where to begin, I feel like a toddler. I can’t even change my own oil. What I’d give for somebody to crack open a 6 pack and just lay down some knowledge. I’m time I know my passion will lead me to somebody willing to help me learn. Thank you for this video. The little bits and pieces of lingo and info I soak up like a sponge, I really wanna get into this industry before electric cars kill it. I wanna make shit go boom and take off into the sunset, I guess time will tell
