Default Navara Restoration on YouTube

I can’t make my mind up about this guy, I think Marmite springs to mind. He’s started a Navara restoration. Still not too sure I agree with everything but I’ve got to watch each episode. So far there’s two episodes along with other engine rebuilds on his channel.

Enjoy, or not

I've seen him before and know what you mean about Marmite. I quite like him as I think there a hefty amount of tongue placed in the cheek as it seems to be ripping off the American car shows.

Yes, I've seen his videos before and actually subscribed. I also had that marmite feeling at first but like Don I warmed to him, although the intro sequence when he turns round to face the camera always gets a cringe from me.

Some good stuff scattered throughout the various vids.

Cheers,

Mick

I have to resurrect this thread!!!!!

Since Jim posted this thread I've been subscribed to his channel and watched a lot of his videos and as Jim said, at first I found them a little cringy. That said, every-time they upload a new video the quality gets better and they get less cringy to the point now that I'm always desperate for the next instalment.

There's no doubt about it, this guy knows his bloody Nissans!!! The latest instalment had me fascinated, shocked and appalled at how bad new Nissans are, have a look at the junk they have fitted to the NP300 and listen to the gems this guy has to offer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1yx...HVgveBYajjEc-6

I'm going to reach out to him soon, he's deffo someone i'd like to acquaint with and welcome as a friend of the forum.

What do you guys think, and thanks again Jim as without your post I probably wouldn't have found him still by now!!

Wow that looks poor, not seen much of his videos for a while, has he posted anymore about the restoration?

So after all the Terranos rot away what are we going to run around in?

He hasn't done anymore videos of that restoration yet I hope it's not just one of those projects that goes by the wasyside and never gets finished He's been doing a lot of the Skyline of late and lots on the NP300

As for your 2nd question, I have no idea Jim is all I can say to that, I reckon anything post 2004 Nissan isn't worth investing your money into!!! Need to start stashing Terrano's NOW!!!!!
