    I can’t express how happy I am that you’re hiring your friends and family to uplift them rather than just spending it all on yourself. Hiring James to just muck around with you with cars a couple days a week is fantastic. I love watching you diversify your output and keep your personal interest high.
    Also this channel has unironically displaced my watching of people like Junkyard Digs, your editing and personality is much better for much the same type of work.

I wish more people would just go to salvage yards and look through all the cars and just have a laugh at them like Dank and James did!

    Rock Auto (an online parts store) here in the states claims to have the complete gasket set for a Daihatsu I used a 1988 I'm pretty sure they are all the same but I'm no Daihatsu expert not exactly a common car here.
    I just looked again and they have just the head set for 22 bucks USA.
    It's definitely worth looking there is actually quite a bit still available... Whats crazy is those cars were rare when I was a kid and they were new but they still have a fair selection of parts.

    This reminds me of being in my friends garage with one of our cars on the lift and just playing music, hanging out, having a couple bevvies and working on a car. Great times and lots of good laughs.
    So glad I joined the Dank Patreon cause weekly audio nuggets and car nuggets is content that I'm totally here for.

    This is genuinely so exciting to see, i’m not even into cars that much. But I’ve always seemed to gravitate towards the Niki nugget fix videos. I swear I’ve watched that series a total of 5 times. Always such a joy to watch y’all work

    hey dank, get an ozone generator and chuck it in jeff. it just might, maybe, fix the smell problems. maybe cleaning out the vents/cabin filter might help too
    you can also run the air and have it in circulate with the ozone generator. real good at eating up smells (ozone stinks for a little bit, but fades quickly)

    Fark this brings back memories! My grandma had a red turbo charade like this when I was a kid, same wicked mags too. It had a real appetite for head gaskets, I learned a heap about working on cars watching my grandpa fix it up.

    I've little to no interest in cars at all but I love your videos, they're endlessly fascinating to watch your enthusiasm towards total nuggets.
    I also just get flashbacks to my dad's old Citroen AX, the one that had a hole in the floor that you could see the road through, but still technically fit the definition of "an car"

Even if you don't get much done, I'm sure you will find ways to make a fun video anyway, you just have that knack of making something small super funny! Like the nugget dip, some people couldn't make an entertaining five second video of that, and yet, there you go making it such a hilarious thing every time.

    Pretty normal for one brake shoe to wear unevenly on a single leading shoe drum setup. Notice the worn one is the leading shoe which does most of the braking effort since the rotation of the drum (when going fowards) tends to pull that shoe harder into contact, whereas the trailing shoe gets pushed away.

    Weird seeing this in my recommended video. Actually had this model G11 Charade back in 2000-2005 during my Uni days.
    Mine came with the weird Daimatic 2 speed auto. Was planning for an engine swap with a G11 Detomaso Turbo but then life happened.
    Loved it, went on a few road trips in it. Tons of memories in that car.
    Looking forward to seeing more of this. Great work guys.
    Love from Malaysia.

    4:30 Here is the trick to loosen any wheel effortlessly, risk free and with no violence:
    Just loosen the nuts just one turn, then drive slowly and serpentine a bit.
    If they don't come lose right away, they have probably been welded on.

    This has always been my favorite thing to do with cars. Buy cheap. It was always my favorite challanges on Top Gear were the budget race cars. It was such a good idea that i now have a 1993 Pulsar that i got for $500. I brought that to school as it needed a new gear box which i was lucky and sourced a replacement really close by for about $300. Once that was swapped we went nuts and stripped the interior and put a fat sidepipe. It sounds way too good for a 1.6. This kinda stuff is the inspiration that drives that car, especially since it was named in my auto class "The Nugget".
