@mymechanics10 months ago I want to say a huge thank you to all my supporters on Patreon!!
Without your support it wouldn't be possible for me to start such a huge project. It's been a long and hard way from buying the car until the start of the disassembling.
If you're also interested in supporting these kind of videos you can join my Patreon at
I'm sharing daily updates/vlogs from the workshop. There's also a very detailed version of this video (1h 12min), which shows the disassembling of every component.
Enjoy the video... ... 3030

@sloebig5 months ago My dad restored three cars in his lifetime. To restore a car as professionally as this guy does takes years. Plus he’s editing these videos on top of it for us. I’m sure he’s still hard at work on this project and we just need to be patient while the master works! ... 222

@denaliberry497 months ago I’ve been coming back and hoping for a new video. I know that this is a huge project for this guy. I can’t wait to see the smile on his face when he drives it for the first time (restored) 286
@

@poxcr10 months ago I’m not sure what’s more impressive, giving the My Mechanics treatment to a whole car (I’m sure every single bolt will receive some love), or the fact that you painstakingly documented the whole process for all of us to watch. ... 534

@alphadag10 months ago This guy is on another level... He disassembled an entire car in less than 26 minutes and grew another pair of arms. 537
@

@Pitichou376 months ago I keep coming back to see if there's any updates about this project.
No new video for 4 months... I hope this did not put too much pressure on you. It's okay! This is indeed a big project so we'll be patient.
If you meet difficulties, it's okay to pause, delay or even cancel the project if it's too much. Physical and mental health are more important than anything.
Whatever is happening, all my support and greetings from France 🇫🇷 ✌🏻 ... 121

@chrisberardi967510 months ago I am not a car guy and I'm sure there are already hundreds of channels that do car restorations, but because of how precise and careful all of your work is I am so excited to watch this series. 650

@kumquaaat_10 months ago I swear once this series is completed the car will look newer than when it came out of the factory. This is going to be huge, awesome project! 330

@pedrocorreiaartwork8 months ago Even if I have to wait until Christmas for Part II, if it drops then, I'm gonna take a long warm shower first, then pour some hot chocolate in a mug, prepare some chocolate cookies on the side, get all cozy in the sofa with a soft blanket, make the wife and kids leave the house beforehand (no matter the weather) while making sure I lock the doors after they leave, check that it's in FHD, finally lean back and press Play. ... 4
@

@johndehoog55679 months ago Your disassembly of this vintage car is so refreshing. No whining or complaining about poor design or what the previous owner did "wrong". Based on your previous work this restoration is going to be epic! Additionally it is a treat to see a car of that age this is so un-rusty. I live in the rust belt and those cars had evaporated by the mid 1980s. ... 16
@

@davidb647710 months ago If this turns into a 100-episode series, I will watch every single one multiple times. Great to have you back and committed to a fun project! 243
@

@justinblackett10 months ago This restoration is going to be the very best vehicle restoration on the entire internet, I guarantee it. It'll be a long ride, but absolutely worth it. 324

@JojoMojo2257 months ago To be honest, you'd probably be the best person to restore a car while keeping most of the original parts 9

@dogfini34889 months ago I’ve never seen someone completely take a car apart like this. It’s crazy! Can’t wait to see more 9

@FaheemAkram1610 months ago Judging by the years that I have been watching this channel, this is going to be hands down the best Car Restoration ever done on YouTube. And I’m all for it 🤩 632
@

@russiangoose705310 months ago Not only is this work tedious and time consuming to begin with, the amount of extra work and time it must take to set up cameras and film it all as you go, and then reviewing and editing all the footage too. On top of the sheer quality of work this man does, he truly is the king of restoring anything he puts his hands on ... 176

@zxencotic41785 months ago Once the car is finished, I'm gonna send the videos to my grandfather who's a retired mechanic. I think he'll appreciate someone restoring this beauty! 3

@TiborSzarvas10 months ago I restored 240Z-s for 2 years until April this year at S30 world. I can't wait for how this turns out, since your restorations are always unbelievable!
A few points:
Don't jack the car on the front of the sill, better use the longitudinal support (idk what's it called), where it is still flat and starts to curve upwards. If I'm correct, the rear jacking point is already 280Z style, it's easy and reliable to jack there, for even the rustiest cars.
It is strange for me to delete the side markers, as European 240Zs had them on the front, as far as I know (just not lit). I've restored a Holland car, and 2 Portugese ones. They all had the side marker up front, but not on the rear.
Congrats on the triple Webers! I think they rare and very cool.
I see the car has been repainted once, wonder why, if it wasn't used since 83. The repaints from US are usually horrible quality, bad masking and not taking off parts before paint.
Another thing is: this car is in spectacular condition in my opinion, I rarely saw a 240z this rust free, accident free, and modification free. Even the exhaust came apart that easy...we usually had to cut them. And the bolts! Still nice galvanization on most of them, and most of them are factory I see. We always restored the cars with original bolts and screws, with the right color galvanization, it is very satisfying. Ahh my days, even the brown insulation under the carpets are perfect! (I mean perfect to make templates off of!) Usually they are deteriorated to dust! I think this car was not even in need of a restoration haha!
Too bad on the seat covers, they try hard to look factory, but in my eyes it looks like cheap knockoff.
I'm excited to see what you do with the cracked dashboard, it was always problematic to fix!
A note on the air conditioning: what I've heard, is that those were dealer-fitted when sold in the US, but in a terrible way. They simply punched holes in the firewall, no cares given for waterproofing or rust protecting it. I've seen the exact same AC controls mounted to that spot under the dash. Also the undercoating was done in the US too as far as I know, originally they had greyish factory color on the underside (so if the car is green for example, then greenish grey).
Oh and on the tailgate inner panel: There are 4 "self tapping" screws that hold it onto plate nuts besides the typical Datsun plastic clips; therefore it was rightly installed!
Also on the vinyl carpets glued to the chassis: You can reuse a lot of them! These are very good quality. We usually heat gun them off carefully, and if they aren't torn, you can wash them in engine cleaning solvent in an ultrasonic cleaner on 40-50°C and they'll be as good as new! The replacement ones you can buy are not a very good fit/quality. So it was a bit painful seeing you rip them off so harshly.
Speakers: passenger side there was no speaker in 240Z, so it's not missing.
Before blasting (maybe I'm late) I recommend you cut off all the rubber covers from the little metal clamps (?) all around the car, in engine bay, under dashboard, besides the sills, around trunk inside, and around fuel tank under the car. They can be rusty later sometimes if you leave the rubbers on, because it is not painted at all under it if I remember correctly.
As for modifications, I recommend installing a rear sway bar, as your chassis already has it prepared (like EU or 280 versions).
Ok enough of me rambling, have fun with the restoration!
Edit: correction on sidemarkers ... 75

@alastairgordon-forbes313910 months ago I can’t wait for this one. It’s going to be a massive restoration. If he applies the same attention to detail as he does on his other projects it’s going to epic. 194

@fedorkruglov9 months ago With all the respect for the process, I’m wondering how many times we all will see this saying “I will make a new one”. It is hands down already the best YouTube content. 1

@lee3247610 months ago I honestly cannot fathom how long this restoration is going to take, given your attention to detail, but I’m here for all of it, and will enjoy every long-form video you put out for this project. These cars are so incredibly beautifully designed. ... 178
@

@martinromer699710 months ago Well, now we know why there haven't been new videos in such a long time! This is quite a step up in scale from your usual projects - and judging by your level of precision and attention to detail, this will soon be the most perfect 240Z in the world. Can't wait to see all of it! ... 110

@

@GramaKilrZ10 months ago As if restoring an entire car wasn't already a ton of hard work. To also film and edit the whole thing is astonishing. I'm beyond impressed with the scope of this project. And there's not a doubt in my mind that it'll be entertaining as hell and look like a work of art by the end. Thanks for all of this, seriously. ... 128

@pe826810 months ago As both a big fan of your work and a huge car guy I couldn't possibly be more excited! Witnessing you restoring an entire car (let alone a 240Z) is going to be absolutely wonderful! It definitely is a huge project but I think it will very much be worth it in the end! I'm looking forward to the further episodes, no matter how long it will take! ... 180

@MadhouseGaming6 months ago Old school mechanic, I watch a lot of videos on youTube, fixing, restoring, working on etc on all types of vehicles, but 99.9% of these mechanics use powertools to remove/fit parts, I love the fact that not a single power tool was showing being used in this video, reminds me of when I first starting driving and working on my own vehicles, as nobody used power tools to work on cars, some had air tools ( from big garages etc )
Looking forward to the next video on this car, always been one of my favorite cars. ... 3

@sireoh5 months ago i believe that once i saw that the radio was held in place with 2 saw blades + the block of wood in the door i could conclude that you chose the best car to restore. over the years it kept being delayed for a restore. now it is the time, the long awaited. im glad this car is so lucky to be restored by u ...

I'm sure that a lot of subscribers, if not all, recognize your skills, your dedication to details and the extreme quality of every restoration you take on.

@chinchin327410 months ago As an owner of a few Datsuns myself, I can say with certainty that you will have an absolute blast restoring yours. They're extremely simple and easy to work on, and they have a huge aftermarket with performance upgrades and reproduction sheet metal for common rust spots. There are also plenty of interchangeable parts that you can source from other Datsun and Nissan models. I recommend perusing forums like Ratsun and Classic Zcar for any tips or tricks to smoothen out your restoration.
I'm looking forward to your next episode. Welcome to the Datsun family! ... 123

@mbrombert10 months ago I can't even imagine the steps/process it takes to keep track of where everything goes when putting it all together again. This is on another level for this channel, really unexpected and one of the many reasons it is the best channel for this kind of content. The car is absolutely stunning too! Such a gorgeous shape... I wish you all the best on this and looking forward to the next video! ... 121
@

@Marbslab9 months ago I think it's the precision and attention to detail that makes your videos so special. I've certainly become a fan. My favorite thing to build is scientific instruments; a small lathe is at the top of my wish list, but I can't afford it right now. ... 1

We love how the end result is always better than when the item was new. No rough edges etc. Can't believe you're taking on a restoration of a car. Just this disassembly video is already beyond anything we've ever seen before. Can't wait for the next video. This series is going to be truly epic. Thank you so much. ... 41
