One of the most 'real' stories of a grassroots car restoration ever documented. Welldone Neil seriously, so stoked for you. Huge inspiration.
I argee, 100%!!!
Not one of the most real but the realest
from a clapped out, supercharged pile of misery taken straight from the field to this beautiful piece of machinery. it's been a quite a journey, lad
Christ, I'm 37 and was fighting back tears for the last 10 minutes of that. Been here from the start and what a journey. Congrats man.
End of Chapter One.
I can't think of another person who deserves all the happiness this car brings as much as you do. Well done to you Neil and to everyone who worked on the car. I'm genuinely telling the truth when I say this is the best AE86 anyone has ever built.
You’ve come such a long way with this car. I bet most people would have stripped the car, get overwhelmed by the scale of the project then give up but not y’all! You’ve inspired me to restore my dream car (eventually lol). I bet every second of labour was worth it. Congratulations!
Cheers, Danny, you've always been an inspiration with what you do on your channel; we must cross paths someday for a catchup. Enjoy Japan!
@@juiceboxforyou I think you’ve got the wrong Danny lol. I’m in Canada but would still love to see Ireland someday lol
@@DC2_Danny@DC2_Danny Haha, I thought you were Danny from the UK my bad you have very similar usernames! Either way cheers for the kind words man hopefully all the nonsense we've done on the channel can help to inspire you in some shape or form!
🤣🤣🤣 can't lie, I read it the same an all
How many DannyDC2s are there?
This is pretty hilarious lmao
This is truly a "It's not about the destination.. it's about the journey" build. The majority of us aren't sponsored and don't have access to crazy amounts of money like other youtuber's. Congrats Neil. It's been one hell of a ride.
It’s like getting to the end of a video game back in day, credits roll and you don’t know wtf to do…cry or start again. Guess it’s time to go collect any remaining little collectibles and tick off all the pointless side missions.
Take a bow Neil 👏🏻👏🏻
It's quite poetic that the shots of when you first got the AE86 were in mist. And now it's complete, the mist has faded, the sun is shining, you've reached the end of an incredible journey with this car. Cherish it always!
Waited all weekend for this one Neil
Congrats, also the trim being off was a mint nod to your boy
Wanted to build this into my dream car spec and then go beyond to my own take
The last few minutes describe pure passion and obsession.
Why not chase after the things you want the most ! Thats living .
Not many really get to say they achieved a dream of theirs !
You achieved it and created memories that will last a lifetime.
I hadn’t seen it finished until Sunday, I was as blown away as everyone else. Still can’t get over how good the wheels look under it 🤤
'theres so many people that have the same stories that don't document them and don't put them on the internet' is the best quote out of this. I am so so happy for you man. I just got my car out of rust restoration two weeks ago and it feels amazing. Hopefully one day I get to say that I stuck to it and I was stubborn to get what I wanted like you did. Have fun with it, you have a lot more memories to make with this beautiful dream come true.
This car should be immortalized on a giant marble plinth in the middle of ireland, and only removed for Neil to drive around for a while.
Neil, please PLEASE sell prints of the shots you took! The angle at 21:13 has me buzzing. Hats off to you mate for making your dream a reality, bitter sweet seeing the build videos come to an end. Thank you for continuing to upload this long too, been a real treat for the community
Hell yes I'd buy prints
Not gonna lie, I teared up a little with what you said about all the stories you have with your friends and that car. It's been a privilege to be a part of this journey and just sharing the passion for these cars and all the love people put into them.
Here since day 1. What a journey! Congrats on finishing the 86 and staying firm on your choices!
It’s actually insane, when he first pulled it out of the yard I was still in high school….currently 24 years old. Well done man enjoy it!
How's life treating you so far? I'm currently 21 and I'm pretty much walking into the abyss from how fuckin lost I am in life lmao
Wow.... What can you say? Only, well done man! You did it! Thanks so much for bringing us all along for the ride!
Seeing an enthusiast that's completed a goal is so much more satisfying than seeing another youtuber dump money into their "dream car" just to then give it away two years later. Great job and I cant wait to see what you do next
Feels like the end of an era now that its complete. Been watching since the first vlog and now its complete. Time sure does fly.
Best 7 years of misery I've ever watched. I'm glad you're full time now Neil, chasing your dreams! Can't wait to see what's next!
I'm turning 31 in two days... still can't believe it's been 7 years.
I so much admire your passion and determination to complete the car Neil. Stoked for you dude.
Unbelievable I've been watching this journey for 7 years. Congratulations Neil, you finally finished the 86!
Can't believe I've followed this for 7 years, this is the most commitment I've ever shown 😅
You created one of the best AE86s around, and got to do it with the help of a bunch of awesome lads. What a story, this makes the car truly unique!
Anyone else fighting back a tear or 2 watching this? So happy you got it finished Neil and have loved watching it come together over the years! Go and enjoy it lad! You’ve earned it!
It's a strange feeling because I remember when I started watching Your videos on CZcams in elementary school. And now Your 86 is restored, and Your dream has come true. Congratulations, bro!
My old neighbour was given a super smashed up 1930s something or other he was restoring by hand, by himself. He'd spend an hour or so most nights with hammer and dolly and torch and lead beating all the louvres and curves. He spent 23 years restoring this car. He was 78 when he finished. He always said he didn't care if he finished or not, he just found it therapeutic and said it was healthier than TV!
I went to see him for the first drive. He laterally turned the last bolt innthe bumper, hopked up the battery, drove it around the block, then put it under a cover and never looked at it again. Lol
Put a smile on my face seeing it complete after watching all these years
6:48 The Final View - Nujabes
Good tune
Poignant
Living the dream Neil. Well done
As a bloke with a Corolla that was on starsharks as yours is now, that I’ve now stripped to a bare shell as you did 7 years ago, I’m excited to start the same process and build memories as you have along the way. It’s wild that I can remember watching the first videos as they came out and 7 years later I feel joy alongside a complete stranger as if he was my mate. Stoked for you mate, what a fucking gorgeous car.
I feel as if you're one of the only youtubers most people building cars can directly relate to, I hope more people stumble upon this build because its such an inspirational one!
im feeling what neil said.
but now that its done, a new wonderful chapter starts.
he can now enjoy the car and make more great memorys with it.
im happy for his accomplishment. ❤
The 7 years to get to this point have been absolutely unreal.
Reuben’s fires, spidey cunts, Barry’s fuck off’s the lot. This isn’t only a restored car it’s a representation of camaraderie. Every story that came from each video, Japan without a plan the whole LOT!
It’s been absolutely fantastic from start to finish and I thank you for keeping it going.
One day in the future when this is all said and done and we move on this car will hopefully resurface to someone eager to dig into its history - I hope you have hidden juice box stickers and memorabilia throughout the car under trims and panels so that there can be a telltale sign!
Never thought I would get a little emotional because some dude pulled an economy car out of a bush 7 years ago but hey, here we are.
This car is perfection, good job mate
Everyone was rooting for you Neil since day 1. Glad you spent the time on it, never doubted it would look as good as it does
Unbelievable moment, proud of you and all the lads along the way. I’ve absolutely loved every moment of watching it come together over the years
I remember stumbling along the channel when you guys found the car, cannot believe how time flies. Have always enjoyed the videos and always waited for the next one. Well done lads
Can't believe the journey we have all been on following this restoration for the past 7 years, honestly cant describe how happy I am for you Neil. Hats off to sticking it through to the end and bringing your dream to reality... she is stunning!! Wishing you many many safe km's :)
The ending of this video is exactly how I’d expect you to reveal the finished car, rambling on yet I listen to every word. Following juicebox for 10 years or more it’s unbelievable to see this I remember watching you pulling it out of that field with the spidey cunts. Absolute credit to you and the lads Neil, unreal 👏🏻
this is automotive perfection. nothing gets better than this, every single part on that car has a story
You've managed to make some us feel like we've been building a project with you for 7 years. And now to see a never ending project being complete, it's just a heaven most of us dream about. Thank you for that and we're so stoked to hear your words of passion and obsession we all know all too well!
Probably the most iconic CZcams rolla. Everyone will recognise this car it looks absolutely stunning!
Ah man the feelings that this video brought is insane!
What a journey this build has been I’m so glad that it’s finished and you have that dream car that you’ve always wanted but also sad to see it come to an end.
Thankyou guys for this series it’s been an absolute pleasure to watch for everyone this is the build you show anyone who asks what car culture is.
Congrats guys you killed it!
I can't believe it's been that long. It's gone by so fast. I've watched from the beginning and truly have seen you create so many fun memories because this car brought your friends together. I'm proud to be part of this journey, even only as someone watching in Las Vegas.
We all have been watching your channel for 7 years because you don't have fake moments and big reveals. You're just one of us
What a journey it have been. I'm so happy for you Neil, i can really feel your passion and love for these old cars.
NUJABES MENTIONED AT 8:40!!! That depth of field shot with flip in front of the car at 15:10 is so immaculate. Just wow. Just wow. When you mentioned beautiful weather with all the birds, the golden hour, the blooms in the back. You can't beat an unveil as down to earth as this. Just so good. So, so good.
Remove the paint where the wheels nuts seat,otherwise they will loosen and you will loose a wheel or crash.
Be careful,it's dangerous.
I honestly can't believe that it's been nearly 10 years now since y'all saved this 86 from the field and took over 7 FREAKING YEARS JUST TO RESTORE!!!!!!! crazy
And to think I was in middle school when y'all got it and here I am 7 years later who graduated from highschool and im now working a part time job
There are very few moments that make me cry but this is one of them that does make me cry. Even though it may not be something I have been physically part of, I can always say that I have been mentally here for this journey. I am glad to see you finish the car.
Hello, my name is Roberth and I have followed this story since it began and the background that this vehicle has is incredible, and I am super happy to see how everything came to a happy ending, sorry if it is difficult to understand what I am saying but it is that I am from Costa Rica, and it was a pleasure to follow this project until the end, it was 7 years that felt like a week with good friends telling beautiful stories until they fell asleep.
Black and bronze! Edit, coming from an Australian you should slap a turbo on it...so sweet. Top work man! Found this channel a year into the build and loved every episode!
beautiful view after so many years, I've been watching every episode for 7 years, greetings from Poland and may the car serve you for the rest of your life❤
Could you tell me how many percent of old cars there are?
She’s absolutely gorgeous, Neil! Those red wheels are everything.
A peaceful picturesque ending to such an amazing story!
Lets face it, the story it just beginning!
Man, what a touching and honest monolog. Thanks for inviting us in and taking us along. Insanely happy and proud of the whole juicebox crew. Congrats!
Never felt so proud of the accomplishment of someone I've never met. Between this and Japan in a van, the most genuine stuff on the interwebs. Keep it up lad!
I think I can speak on behalf of the whole car community when i say we're all incredibly proud of you 😊
I would have never even thought to paint the wheels red, but that accents the car perfectly with the seats and the redline. It’s beautiful, man. You’ve done a solid job.
I'm so proud of too for sticking with it! It brings tears to my eyes to see it done and when you were showing the pictures of when you first got give me chills! I'm very happy for you! It shows the hard work you and all of your friends have put into it
I feel like my life grew with this build. Thank you for all that you do, Neil!
This is unreal. That means that I am also almost 7 years subscribed to this channel. I would always ask myself, when is it finally ready. To think that now it has been 7 years is mental 😮. Congrats 🎉
Looks incredible. The shots at the end look like in Gran Turismo 7 where you can put your ingame car into realistic looking places. Can't wait to see you driving and enjoying it now
15:19 19:37 pure bills these frames are, the sun shinning over the ACTUALLY minty 83 is just a joy to see. thank you for sharing this journey it has been a total joy watching the progress, looking forward to see more of neil and barry and all of the lads as well
The weather helped out the unveil. From cold and dark to blooming beautiful weather this is what it ment that true builds take time. Congrats m8!
Been watching this channel for years, so it’s amazing to see this journey from beginning to end. Thanks for keeping us all entertained!
U better take 14 years with the next car the journey has been crazy to watch and I have love every minute of it
I think, really Neil you and this channel are the epitome of car culture. It’s not about who’s the fastest, or who’s the got the most money, or who has a stage 1000 map. It’s just some mates cocking about in a shed and building cool shit. You yourself show enthusiasm, interest and kindness when it comes to cars and car culture. We’ve messaged a few times on instagram when I had my S14 and even back then I was like holy shit this guy is on CZcams and is really busy and has taken the time to reply to me and no doubt many others sharing the same hobby. It’s been a long 7 years of building your car - aside from covid where that shot by, but now it’s time to enjoy it. Do some rings when she’s bedded in and just go out and fuckin enjoy it. Been here since episode one and will be here until you stop doing this. Thanks for Monday night entertainment and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future! :)
Also RIP Nice Pipe, gone but never forgotten.
The last two videos you've been absolutely excited and blown away by the car coming together. Gets me excited about finishing my next build
Couldn’t have said it better myself mate!! A part of you, this car has a part of your heart! Been such a pleasure to watch you build
It.
I never thought I’d see the day! I’m so happy for you and selfishly a little sad that the antics that brought me so much joy over the years are coming to an end with this car. Excited to see what you do next
15:30 I'll just say it once again as I said that in other videos. That's why me and (I guess) others are here. You're just sharing your thoughts, emotions and explaines your journey. Drove not to same nice fancy scenery to unveil your car. You drove it to place that ment something to you and you explained it straight forward. There wasn't anything more needed to add. That nice weather with sun, which was going down, was just a cherry on top.
Greatest AE86 of all time. No joke. The stories, the treks to Japan for parts from the OG tuners, the incredible attention to detail, the craftmanship, the rings, everything. It's one of a kind. You're right to be proud man. Congrats
We are finally here boys, I remember the first vlog appearing in my CZcams sidebar ages ago, and wondering if this was indeed THE juicebox, my favourite car blog now in video format. We've come a long way from the sorry purple spider home that was pulled out of a bush all those years ago. I am so happy for you Neil!
With that sunlight on the sides, it looks like a panda painted car! With light on top and dark on bottom!
That paint finish is Stunning! Great work Jackie!
"Wanky B roll footage" nothing wanky about this project! So glad to see it transform into what you envisioned.
The most humble car enthusiast and content Creator I know. PERIOD.
Bro im tearin up watching this. Been watchin since you got it…… im so happy for you. The redlines…. The starsharks…. The black paint….. congratulations brother. You’re shittin on my old ‘85. ❤️
I was 13 back when I found the first episode of Juicebox Unboxed on my YT homepage, a few months after watching Initial D and launching my JDM craze to the highest level. I'm 20 now, about to finally start my driving lessons and about to buy my first car this summer - a super clean Civic EJ9. Damn time flies, can't believe it took so long but also it's such a weird feeling that this project is now over. This was one hell of a journey. I can only hope that one day I'll also be able to fulfill my dream of owning a clean RPS13 180SX :)
Congratulations Neil and all the people that helped along the way! You should be proud of yourselves. Beautiful sentiment as well, it's not just a car. Its an amalgamation of every single experience and memory of the past 7 years and that's the true value of your experience and the audience experience too. Thanks for sharing, congrats again!
I was 19 when i started watching your channel and started watching this ae86 project. Now I'm 25 turning 26 and the project is done what a beautiful day to be alive.
Yes!!!!!! Amazing journey man, been here from the start, you, Reuben, rings, random buses, the JDM distro hauls, and this 86 as a constant. You deserve this, great bunch of lads around you all chipping in, end result is simply stunning. 👍🏻
Simply worth all these videos from day 1 not a single regret watching them all to see this car finished with such style is just amazing well done and thanks for the journey
thanks for documenting the whole story neil, its a textbook example of what makes cars more than just rusty bits of metal - the 'chase' really is something worth doing
So wholesome. It's like seeing an old friend and being happy that they're doing well.
Rings lad! Man I can’t believe it’s been this long. I just transferred from Hondas and track racing to drifting and found your channel you were pulling this thing out of a back yard. My cars have changed a lot, your car has changed a lot but our love for cars is still the same, I feel like this car is part of the family lol. Congratulations my friend now enjoy it!
Watched you for yours Neil and bloody hell man what an absolutely incredible build and story to tell about it. Can't thank you so much for taking us on the journey. Congratulations brother.
Ive never been happier about someone completing their car. I’m so glad that this random video of a man pulling a 86 out of a bush popped up on my suggested all those years ago.
Absolutely brilliant speach at the end to top off this 7 year journey. Congrats to Neil and crew for getting this beauty done!
So proud for you and the guys I remember the first episodes and even when you wasn't sure if you would keep making the videos but you just kept to it the commitment to not giving up even at the hardest. Well on you man. I'm the guy that once upon a time sent you a msg about Peugeot 106 rallye S1. I ended up doing a similar project took me 2 years and I only got to use it for a year before it got totalled. Still love that shit box but I have a family now and the struggle for time is real.
Truely amazing… well deserved. Hard work and effort shows completely!
Don’t stop!
Ive watched since the beginning, absolutely love how it came out but I more enjoyed the journey of collecting everything and then applying. What a story and definitely plan to take this approach with my EF hatch!
Seeing the word complete on your title is surreal. I've been watching since the 2nd episode when you were checking out the car after you bought it and my brain cant comprehend that the build is "done" (we know cars are never done but your vision is complete).
I still remember the dead end and the sense of despair from the lockdown days, and the year-late vids. Im glad you feel great about the final product and very much enjoyed watching the progress, like a fly on the shed wall.
Now its time for the first rings! 😁😁
Almost choked up man. What the hell. You, Flip and a rare sunny Irish day with birds chirping and the 86 finished. Magical.
What a monumental journey it's been. Congratulations Neil!
“It says right left” was the most relatable part of this video 🤣 So amazing to see where the car has come from! Props to yourself and everyone involved in the build 👏🏽👏🏽
This is the greatest looking ae86 on the planet, no doubt. The journey is absolutely incredible. It's amazing that we all share this sick affliction. Everyone with this disease understands exactly what you're saying. It's a beautiful thing.
i cannot stress you enough on how speechless i am to finally see this moment, i’ve followed your build ever since i stumbled on your first Unboxed videos 7 years ago, and ever since, i’ve went through a lot of changes, and yet this build stayed in a very comfortable spot for me, and it always was a pleasure to come back to and enjoy the journey you and the boys there have done, and to finally see it done, i can only say thanks Neil, and make sure to enjoy it with all your might mate :)
