Car build diaries / doco's

This may well end up in the Youtube thread but i think it's wider than that.

There's a massive upswing in people buying crash damaged cars, rebuilding them for their blogs / YouTube (and by the looks of it making a fortune!).

I don't mind the "hey guys, i'm *insert youtube name* - and i made 7 HUGE mistakes when i bought this *insert supercar* from CoPart (other breakers are available).

I say i don't mind but the subject needs to be around the car and not what t-shirts they are trying to sell.

I really enjoy Tyrells channel (the F40 is going to be awesome) and i'm in that era of interest).

So, what do you lot watch / like? I'm currently watching Mat Armstrong (which is great content and admits himself he's no mechanic) - It was interesting watching his entire rise through youtube and how he pivoted away from BMX vids to cars, much more lucrative).

American channel called 'I do cars'

He restores & rebuilds cars but I watch it for the engine strip down videos, he stripped a Honda V6 a while back that was a suspected hydrolock job. It was mechanical carnage like you've never seen!

I enjoy hubnut as it’s more real world on stuff I could get involved with

Upndown (a ph’er) is very good as well - he knew his stuff when he used to flog me car parts back in the day - assuming it’s the same fella and I’ve not got confusedled

"Memphis" is a great channel - young Belgian kid who works on late 80s/early 90s cars, particularly swedes. M539 Restorations if you're into BMWs. Ronald Finger if you'd like a 20-part series on restoring a Fuero.

To be honest, I used to follow a lot of US rebuilders - Goonzsquad, Tavarish, Sam C, Vice Grip Garage, Fuzzy Dice Projects, and hot-rodders like Finnegan's Garage etc but I've gone off them in the past year; but US/CA truck builders are my new thing; Twin Stick Garage and/or Zip Ties and Bias Plies are two I follow now.

Worth it just for when he says “next time”
