Abandoned Toyota Celica Shell To KAIDO RACER in 2 Weeks!
With just 20 days until touring, Reid bought a non-running car to save the day.
Watch how he attempts to get this project car roadworthy.
After several failed attempts to buy a reliable vehicle, he ended up on Plan C.
This video documents the frantic process of buying a project car that does not run and beginning the initial mechanical repairs needed to make it dependable for the road.
This is for anyone who enjoys seeing a car repair project come together under a tight deadline.
Reid breaks down the initial assessment of the engine and the specific parts needed to source to get the vehicle moving again.
We are documenting the entire touring preparation process, including every setback and small win along the way.
