Couch Built's i8 project is up there. He's putting a turbo 13B mated to a 7-speed VW DCT in it and retaining the original hybrid system.

My own.
Full drivetrain, suspension, brake, and steering swap/upgrade on a 1979 Mercury Zephyr to be a weekend crooozer.

I don't like spectator sports.

Well it was fun while it lasted. Really wanted to see what happened when he finally got the engine back together with better tolerances than factory but oh well.

Time spent watching someone else wrench on shit is time you could spend wrenching on your own junk.

not when you're just waiting on parts

They were at $7,000 a month years ago before the totals were hidden.
Likely $10K+ now.

I get $24 a month from patreon.
So I guess I can't complain

what happened with this guy? and the english guy in spain or somewhere stripping an e30 down to nothing? or that nerdy looking american who was building a mazda cosmo?

>>29066510
lol
>>
>>29065859
that guys a wrenchlet who can't build or drive but likes to get expert opinions and spend a lot of money
>>
>>29066468
dude I watched a 30 minute episode of a guy fabricating control arms because they had to be revised a dozen times, because he was creating entirely custom suspension geometry
fuck my ass reality tv, production value doesnt mean scripted.
>>
>>29066463
You gotta find the actually autistic ones. No amount of production value can hide it.
>>29065872
The EV1 guys have it for sure
>>29065909
Pretty sure the GHPC guys have it

Not really familiar with the other guys in this thread, but >>29065930>>29065977
spending 13 years restoring a mini sounds like the kind of thing only an autist could do
>>
>>29066686
It's more of a Mini Shaped Object at this point.

nah i'm fine with just one. i really want to drive mine again though.

>240sx resto
last upload was 8 months ago and it was just a compilation of parts 1-8. given the production quality of his videos i bet you it's a sovietwomble situation where it just takes a LOT of time. on top of him literally improving parts over the factory designs, so it takes even more time.
>mazda cosmo
aaron cake is still going at it 20 years on. latest upload was 4 weeks ago
>>
For me it's watching 2 stroke suffering and then shaking my head and facepalming when everything goes wrong and nothing works properly and he starts going off on more crazy ideas again

The talbot matra rancho impreza combo
It looks quite terrible because they measure everything by eye, but I'm interested in the end result regardless. Also they seem like they can't decide on an editing style ffs

I like the project but the guys doing it are so fucking annoying.

Nah they're alright, they're just autistic passionate nerds. The fat guy running the channel can get a bit annoying though.

They shove the entire drivetrain and subframes of a Toyota Celica GT-4 into it. And then they completely fabricate their own wiring harness, interior, door cards, a fucking HVAC SYSTEM, removable flip front end, fender flares, etc. Very worth your time.

One channel I like is melomotive.
thees lads are putting porsche 356 body on 718 boxter chassis
https://youtu.be/iqlK4yz6M3c
Another channel I like is home built by jeff
He made an alfa giulia 105 with ferrari v8 and now is making an F600 cabin on toyota bus tow vehicle.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCk_vb_SJctymCkwnF6sAwDg
Final channel ill mention here is ben beames
dude made 3 custom kitcars by himself
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5oXfT0CphhUyj2kKF0Sy0Q
>>29065859
I love his F40 build.
Kinda made me want to design and make Lancia 037 tube chassis car
>>29065930
QRD
>>29065939
I like their work but i kinda wish they uploaded videos just focusing on single vehicle instead of weekly updates on the entire catalogue.
Also i wonder how much would they charge me if i asked them to restore and turn my 4 door sedan into 2 door coupe.
>>29066592
Meister is kino.

Tavarish P1 rebuild was interesting but he's gonna milk that shit for a fucking decade so I quit bothering.
>>
>>29065930
I lost my shit when they did the paint reveal. The roof was perfect. Turned out way better than I imagined.
>>
few more channels i watch on and off
>Tofu autoworks
dude is turning MR-S into Group C lookalike
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDqAevmQ5Zdmlr6e67KVEhQ
>toms refurb
while the zoomzoom is fairly cringy
I like his honda mustang and his ford body on escalade build
too bad he abandoned the ford escalade build.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6P2xQpu-f32AALrl2B06A
>scotty fairno
this bong redneck started putting a trabant body on reliant kitten
seemngly abandoned project though
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxnlTes2Hq_5gMaeulVjpbg
>>29069832
thanks it looks cool as fuck.
right up my alley
>>29069882
honestly same.
he also bought more fuckin projects to never finish.
as you said he needs to milk as much money to pay for the mortgage he took out on that p1
>>
>>29066592
gears and gasoline is ass normie slop. terrible drivers, terrible engineering. clueless retards with seemingly zero interest in getting any better at either.

>>29071654
I suppose so, the appeal is more in the humor

What are some alternatives that you recommend?
>>
>>29071648
>Tofu Autoworks
I liked the MR2 until it said it was just going to be a facsimile. He should have extended the wheelbase, it's going to look weird and frumpy. His bodywork is top notch though.
>>
>>29071929
fair.
though there is so much you can do without structural work.
also there comes a question how much of the structural changes are legal in his area if he plans on keeping it street legal.
my biggest gripe is the windshield.
once again structural work and all but as you said makes it look wrong
still a cool build and idea
