You can tell this was filmed for people who have no idea how to fix cars:
- incorrect installation of control arms
- no actual engine work: belt, pulleys, water pump, valve cover, valley plate, spark plugs etc.
- no brake fluid change
- no coolant change
- who washes brake pads instead of replacing them?!!
The list is going on and on...

I was about to post this video but you beat me to it! That is an amazing restoration I have to say, regardless if not everything was done properly. The amount of time, money it had to take, and attention to detail is incredible. It looks brand new.

Some of you completely missed the point, this is mostly about cleaning not doing basic maintenance. That can be done at any time.

I caught it over the weekend. In spite of all the issues, it was fun to watch. And I thought I was the only one who had noticed the 460L/600h switcharoo, haha, which I caught at least twice (believe you can see 600h on trunk in one brief take).
