Big YES to the graphics, they really make the car pop! And Sarah, please don’t even try to pretend like you’re not special - you’re an outstanding, amazing human being, who builds spectacular cars!! You totally rock!! 😁
I agree, yes to the graphics.. And to be honest - I'm glad this isn't a 'nut n bolt' restoration. Although that can result in an amazing vehicle... it would likely result in someone not wanting to drive it - for fear of diminishing the value. Cars should be driven - and this one is the perfect level of resto for that purpose!!
When I moved back to the States from Japan, I shipped lots of stuff, including my desktop. Customs LITERALLY ripped my hard drive out without unscrewing it and LITERALLY just chucked it back into the case to have it bang around inside for the rest of the trip home.
I love how with all the work you do on cars you still find the time to up the production value of the videos themselves. All the little easter eggs and intros, love it
My vote is to go all in with the eighties vibe and add those side stripes. They accentuate the sexy lines that blend in the black on blackness and complete the look. That's a car that's going to turn a lot of heads on the road. I'm not usually a fan of personalized license plates, but this car begs to have a clever themed plate. Sarah, you've done amazing work with this one!
There are going to be a lot of brokenhearted people that didn't win this beautiful tribute to Japanese sports cars of the 80s (sounds like maybe yourself included). You have a created a true masterpiece here and I would argue that as the automotive artist you are, you are indeed truly special. Graphics, or no, (I'd vote "yes", for sure), your work on this car has turned it into one the finest surviving examples on the planet. Thank you for the awesome content - keep up the great work!
YES on the decals. Your builds are truly a work of art. I'm a mechanic of 40 plus years and your attention to detail is just amazing. Great work! And I wouldn't even want to drive that in the rain, to sweet of a car.
I had a 1984 Celica Supra that I bought used in 1985. I have always been a fan of Toyota (currently have a 1994 3x locked 80 series LC) and watching you revive this classic brought back a lot of memories. I really appreciate the time you've taken with this and your attention to the many factory or aftermarket period parts you've sourced for it. Whomever wins this will be very fortunate, not just because of the car it is, but because of the care you've taken with it. Nicely done!
As a mechanic myself, engineering graduate, and a person who has entered to the give-a-way for this toyota, it would be a pleasure to own and take care of this rare machine and keep it showing off old toyota glory. I just bought a 86 toyota pick up for my brother in january, replace the headgasket, tires, rear drum brakes and all of the steering components for it. It runs like a champ and is rust free beside the fire wall from the clutch master cylinder leaking down the inside of the cab. I have worked on this old toyota for weeks, and watching you go through pretty much everything, it looks and probably drives perfects from your work. Congrats to who ever wins it though.
I vote a hearty YES for the graphics! I am an 80s child though so the nostalgia is real. Also, I'm so excited to get a signed poster and I'm looking forward to the Spotify playlist! You are so amazing Sarah, thanks for all your hard work
I'd rather listen to pointy spikes being dragged across a chalkboard than listen to Van Halen. overplayed, too old, overrated, something that needs to be left in the past !!
On the lift (scrunchy back) issue Sarah, get a couple barstools (which are usually at about 4 ft tall) and add wheels of choice to. The garage stools and seats you see a lot of the time are just a bit short to be useful when the car is 6ft off the ground. That car sounds great. That car looks great. You are truly something else Sarah.
I am ABSOLUTLY in LOVE with this car!! This build was done the RIGHT way, restored to original but BETTER with the manual transmission, better brakes, way nicer wheels. 100% proper built Sarah!!!
OMG Girl this car is the BOMB, have been subscribed when you were still in your house garage, love your videos, also ex airforce up here in Canada 🇨🇦 as a airframe tech....and I'm 56 years old and think your builds ROCK, Love it everything you say OEM parts ❤️
The quality and attention to detail on this build is impeccable. As a former owner of an 82 P Type I drove through high school and college, I've really enjoyed the build. Thanks for choosing an MK2, as I think they're the most underrated of the Supras.
If the graphics match the gold badging and emblems, then it's a yes, but if it's the bright flame yellow in the thumbnail, it's a no, it'd look like a hot wheel. I think it's beautiful, clean and mean, as is! Best build yet Sarah! Love your channel!
Car looks absolutely sick! I agree, you should have kept it for yourself. I can imagine myself cruising around town at night cranking Def Leopard, Van Halen and some Crüe. 🤘
The person who gets this car is is going to be so happy for sure. All the effort you put in the car is just amasing. You have completely transformed the car. Amasing job!
What you've done to that car is too incredible for words. Someone is going to get something amazing. It's so much fun watching, but I always wonder how you do it all! ❤
Excellent job, Sarah - It's been great to see just how meticulous you've been with the work and restoration on the Supra. Also, your ability to adjust when you run into issues (like the stereo, for example) is awesome. It will be sad to see the Supra go, but you'll have more awesome cars to continue to build and share with your viewers! 👏✨😊
I'm a woman retired mechanic who Never took on such huge jobs as you and you are perfectly skilled Better than many guys due to your perfectionist!! I have learned so much, and I hope to win this beautiful baby! YES agree on graphics!! ❤ Whomever wins is going to be paying speed tickets 😂😂😂 soooooooo cool 😎!!
No doubt you’ll be sad to see this beauty go, but just imagine how much someone will get to enjoy a Sarah build. And yes, absolutely go with the stripes.
Pronounced “krem fresh”. Who knew? Canadian here too. I’d have never known anything about it, if not for my foodie in-laws. I’m sad about not being able to enter for the draw too. It’s a wicked cool car.
amazing build. I remember walking into Longo Toyota back in 1984 to buy what I could afford, a Tercel Hatchback. I walked by Supra's and said one day. Congrats whoever wins with bad ass ride.
Crushing it Sarah. Awesome work. Would love to see a poster of the 82 Celica Supra before it goes to one lucky SOB. EDIT: I'm in favor of the vinal graphics as well. I think they will go well with the rest of the car.
When replacing speakers I always use foam weatherstripping tape. It's cheap and easy to get. The importance is the foam creates a seal that separates the front and back of the speaker. This is what gives the bass and midrange response that is normally lost when replacing speakers with aftermarket. Kudos on adding the foam buckets, that is an extreme detail for us audiophiles. I love your attentiveness to details on your work and your personality.
my concern, on adding the graphics to the sides, is the balance in colors for the entire car. Right now, the only nickel/chrome item on the car are the wheels, which is not too bad because the rest of the car is a neutral color - black. With adding the stripes that match the rest of the gold badging of the car, the rims will stand out as an odd choice of color for the rest of the car. Just my opinion, which gets varying miles.
If your desire is to make thiscar look like it time traveled right out of the '80's, then yes, go with the graphics. They do a very nice job of accentuating the body lines.
Seeing how much effort you put into this channel and the fans is noble. I hope to hear how you also take care of yourself. Thanks for sharing this car build with us. I hope who ever wins it keeps those graphics. (:
having worked as a mechanic many. years ago i appreciate that you are doing the job correctly . bravo to you babe ps: i don't remember ever seeing the stripes in australia
This car's beautiful both ways. I lean towards the all black - non graphics look; so clean! I remember these cars when they came out - really cool looking. Toyota has made a few cars that are stylistically far superior to their other offerings. This is one of them😎
those graphics are A MUST HAVE. ps love your content sarah started watching during the ranger build and went back and watched every video. so glad I found your channel.
Ok when you were hamering in those brake lines the music started and I initially thought you had added in torque effects for comedic value. Torque hammered to spec needs to be a thing!
I kinda debated the side decals, but without them the car is too plain on the side. Being of gold color on the black, a popular combo of the 80's (think John Player Special F1 cars) it is right. The fluid changes, a new radiator, new and safer brake parts are all the right things to do to this car. I hope the winner gives it the love you have given it. I will be interesting to see your 80's inspired playlist. Guess we got hints with Dire Straits (one of my favorite groups), Van Halen and other 'metal' groups.
Yes yes yes on the graphics!! It is going to be FABULOUS with that set. It already is but dang that would be sweet. Awesome job on this project, one of my favorite of all times.
I am biased as I was about 4 when this car came to be. My neighbor had a red one and I always loved it. Back to my bias,.... I love anything 80's and there is nothing better than 80's graphics on anything, OEM or aftermarket.
I used to sell these new. I loved the solid feel they had. They were overshadowed by later Supras, but I still like these the best. A MR2 from the same period is another great car.
Another no decal reason is that a beautiful car doesn't need decals and baubles for it. It says, here I am, I'm a Supra. I do not need stuff to look great. Sarah, I love what you have done with the Supra. It's going to be a friend and lover for the winner for years and years. ......just do the decals.
My vote is yes. I have fond memories of those graphics from back in 1982. One of my neighbors had an identical 82 Celica Supra to the one you're restoring . The Black and Gold was badass back in the day. You have knocked another one out of the park!
Big yes to the graphics. I believe the colors should be in the mustard, light brown, muted orange range. Not too bright. Neon was nineties. Use all three with your layout.
I’m edging towards plain black, no graphics……it just looks so classy! What an amazing job Sarah, that car is stunning and you are a genius! I’m also super stoked you like Van Halen😃😃😃🤘🤘🤘
Big YES to the graphics, they really make the car pop!
And Sarah, please don’t even try to pretend like you’re not special - you’re an outstanding, amazing human being, who builds spectacular cars!! You totally rock!! 😁
100%
Yes ma'am, 80s graphics please.
I agree, yes to the graphics..
And to be honest - I'm glad this isn't a 'nut n bolt' restoration. Although that can result in an amazing vehicle... it would likely result in someone not wanting to drive it - for fear of diminishing the value. Cars should be driven - and this one is the perfect level of resto for that purpose!!
Could not agree more!
My Favorite Thing on the Internet.
When I moved back to the States from Japan, I shipped lots of stuff, including my desktop. Customs LITERALLY ripped my hard drive out without unscrewing it and LITERALLY just chucked it back into the case to have it bang around inside for the rest of the trip home.
This car is built the way cars should be. Replaced bearings and seals. Great job Sarah! Im an old engineer/mechanic that really appreciates your work.
I’m a mechanic and also love that rebuild style! Great job Sarah.
Indeed,exactly how it should be done 👍😉💪
I love how with all the work you do on cars you still find the time to up the production value of the videos themselves. All the little easter eggs and intros, love it
just from the thumbnail i vote yes
Always
It look silly
Totally a yes
Absolutely yes to graphics!!!

Sarah, you've done amazing work with this one!
For what it's worth I vote yes for the graphics. You are absolutely right, they fit the build perfectly.
I’ve never been more proud to drive my old 2005 Toyota Sienna with 400,000 kms on it than after this rebuild ; ) Fantastic job on the Celica.

I'd say no, the black alone looks super slick...😮

It's such a simple joy seeing an old machine get new parts, cleaned and lubricated.
Just the most amazing build! What an epic journey you’ve taken us on 😊 just the greatest👍 and the most respect for your many skills ✊
I vote a hearty YES for the graphics! I am an 80s child though so the nostalgia is real. Also, I'm so excited to get a signed poster and I'm looking forward to the Spotify playlist! You are so amazing Sarah, thanks for all your hard work
The Van Halen reference is the icing on the cake 😊…. Beautiful Supra 👏🏻
I'd rather listen to pointy spikes being dragged across a chalkboard than listen to Van Halen. overplayed, too old, overrated, something that needs to be left in the past !!
Graphics = Essential. Do it. Do it now.
And you are indeed a special human. Never doubt that.
On the lift (scrunchy back) issue Sarah, get a couple barstools (which are usually at about 4 ft tall) and add wheels of choice to. The garage stools and seats you see a lot of the time are just a bit short to be useful when the car is 6ft off the ground.
That car sounds great.
That car looks great.
You are truly something else Sarah.
Sarah. On your final/ review video you should rock the 80s hair and outfit. The 80s were the best times in my book.
This girl loves her original zinc coatings.
Zinc is where it’s at! I put a ton of brand new zinc flange head bolts and nuts on my Miata engine while I had it out last winter.
I am ABSOLUTLY in LOVE with this car!!
This build was done the RIGHT way, restored to original but BETTER with the manual transmission, better brakes, way nicer wheels.
100% proper built Sarah!!!
OMG Girl this car is the BOMB, have been subscribed when you were still in your house garage, love your videos, also ex airforce up here in Canada 🇨🇦 as a airframe tech....and I'm 56 years old and think your builds ROCK, Love it everything you say OEM parts ❤️

They’re the same gold as the rear emblems
@@SarahnTuned Since the side graphics match the gold on the rear, I vote yes.
Absolutely loving the decals/stickers! Makes it look like a cool Hot Wheels or Matchbox model!
Car looks absolutely sick! I agree, you should have kept it for yourself. I can imagine myself cruising around town at night cranking Def Leopard, Van Halen and some Crüe. 🤘
As a Gen X who absolutely does have nostalgia for that era, you should 100% add the graphics. I want this car so much, it's amazing.
The benefit of being an older millennial I remember the 80s enough to appreciate them.
The person who gets this car is is going to be so happy for sure. All the effort you put in the car is just amasing. You have completely transformed the car. Amasing job!
What if they end up putting big girl anime stickers on all over the body paint?
The entire build series showed how much you enjoyed it. Amazing content, loved watching it. Thanks...
What you've done to that car is too incredible for words. Someone is going to get something amazing.
It's so much fun watching, but I always wonder how you do it all! ❤
This car came out in my senior year of high school. It was my dream car. I have so much enjoyed this build!
Nobody will be mad if you keep it, at least well all be able to keep seeing it.
Beautiful without graphics
Excellent job, Sarah - It's been great to see just how meticulous you've been with the work and restoration on the Supra. Also, your ability to adjust when you run into issues (like the stereo, for example) is awesome. It will be sad to see the Supra go, but you'll have more awesome cars to continue to build and share with your viewers! 👏✨😊
Sarah,
You ARE that special!
This just keeps getting better & better. Also big thumbs up on the Van Halen. Hope that’s part of the playlist.
I'm a woman retired mechanic who Never took on such huge jobs as you and you are perfectly skilled Better than many guys due to your perfectionist!! I have learned so much, and I hope to win this beautiful baby! YES agree on graphics!! ❤ Whomever wins is going to be paying speed tickets 😂😂😂 soooooooo cool 😎!!
In case no one has told you today, Sarah, you're amazing!
I love the love you have given this Supra. Beautiful car
nice exhaust note. foam buckets definitely will improve acoustics. yes graphics and fender flares!
No doubt you’ll be sad to see this beauty go, but just imagine how much someone will get to enjoy a Sarah build.
And yes, absolutely go with the stripes.
No doubt - graphics should go on!
The person who gets this car is one LUCKY homan!
Crème Fraîche literally just means fresh cream 😊
Beautiful job Sarah 💖
Yes on the graphics
Sadly I am Canadian so 😢I can’t enter the draw
slightly fermented by adding a small amount of buttermilk to fresh cream. Leave at room temp for a few hours.
@@timlocke8588
Ok Dad 😂
Pronounced “krem fresh”. Who knew? Canadian here too. I’d have never known anything about it, if not for my foodie in-laws. I’m sad about not being able to enter for the draw too. It’s a wicked cool car.
I was a teen in the 80s and thought the Supra was cool back in the day. You have nailed the 80s graphics!
It's hard to explain how much I love this car. Yes to the louvers, pop up headlights, digital dash and of course the graphics.
amazing build. I remember walking into Longo Toyota back in 1984 to buy what I could afford, a Tercel Hatchback. I walked by Supra's and said one day. Congrats whoever wins with bad ass ride.
Crushing it Sarah. Awesome work. Would love to see a poster of the 82 Celica Supra before it goes to one lucky SOB. EDIT: I'm in favor of the vinal graphics as well. I think they will go well with the rest of the car.

I love your build vids. This car looks sick, and will look even better with the unique graphics, so I vote YES.
The soundtrack preview was priceless.

The only real solution is to put the decals on the car and have the wheels anodized gold to match
I totally agree that would look great.@@Morpheas001
If your desire is to make thiscar look like it time traveled right out of the '80's, then yes, go with the graphics. They do a very nice job of accentuating the body lines.
I think it's really cool you made a playlist that goes with the car!!
yes to the graphics. It's a restoration and it makes it amazing.
Everything you do is so FREAKING Awesome! Love the build series! ❤️
i appreciate the pause for the pave hawk! that's a badass bird
Seeing how much effort you put into this channel and the fans is noble.
I hope to hear how you also take care of yourself. Thanks for sharing this car build with us.
I hope who ever wins it keeps those graphics. (:
Graphics for sure. The cherry on top for this build.
having worked as a mechanic many. years ago i appreciate that you are doing the job correctly . bravo to you babe ps: i don't remember ever seeing the stripes in australia
Someone is going to be veeeeery lucky because this Supra is epic. And the graphics will rock. Love from NZ.
You have had some great projects but I think this is your best. I have loved watching your progress on this car Sarah

Definitely a lot of black/gold colorway designs in the 80’s. The stripes are a greatly appreciated must-have.
In line six cylinder engines sound so sweet.
One of the most balanced engine. Naturally!
NO! We took them off in the 80's, and repainted.
They aren’t permanent, so easy to remove if you don’t like them.
@@timonsolusagree
Yes to graphics. Catches the perfect era feel and look. Gr8 Job Sarah on the whole Supra series. Showing ups and downs of doing work on your cars.
Sport coupes of the 80s had personality thanks to the designer's sporty touches like two tone paints and decals, so YES on decals.
Yes yes yes on the graphics!! It is going to be FABULOUS with that set. It already is but dang that would be sweet. Awesome job on this project, one of my favorite of all times.
I think yes on the decals. It’s beautiful without them, but just a touch better with. Great job.👍
Yes on the graphics! And I flicking love that you are making a mix tape for all of us!
The graphics look DOPE.
I am biased as I was about 4 when this car came to be. My neighbor had a red one and I always loved it. Back to my bias,.... I love anything 80's and there is nothing better than 80's graphics on anything, OEM or aftermarket.
YES, on the strips, Sarah. It will also make the car stand out!
I am very envious of the winner of this car, I hope they appreciate all the love you have put into it.
Yes! to the stripes, those fit the concept perfectly!
Hahahaha the Beavis voice while seeing the discs ! I had to rewind a little bit just to listen to it again a couple of times.
Totally one of your better efforts!! Well done! I vote YES!
I used to sell these new. I loved the solid feel they had. They were overshadowed by later Supras, but I still like these the best. A MR2 from the same period is another great car.
NO

No graphics(stickers) 🤮🤮🤮
The Supra my buddy had back in 87' looked exactly like the white Supra shown including the black graphics, his was either and 84' or and 85' version.
What a beautiful semi-restoration! I vote yes for the graphics!!
My vote is yes. I have fond memories of those graphics from back in 1982. One of my neighbors had an identical 82 Celica Supra to the one you're restoring . The Black and Gold was badass back in the day.
You have knocked another one out of the park!
Big yes to the graphics. I believe the colors should be in the mustard, light brown, muted orange range. Not too bright. Neon was nineties. Use all three with your layout.
At 10:05 I'm getting strong Under the Milky Way (The Church) vibes. Excellent 80s throwback soundtrack!
You really should keep this car. It’s so beautiful and you put so much love into it. It’s perfection. Definitely do the graphics!
YES to the graphics, they will make it look even better
always such a great car, and you’ve lovingly restored it to perfection. a thing of beauty.
Those graphics absolutely need to be there. It has the craziest early eighties vibes to it, holding back would do it wrong.
Yes for the graphics. The new car owner is going to love this car.
The graphics are a must. Whomever wins this is getting an amazing car.
The Supra Spotify playlist is 🔥! Been rockin it on my daily commute!
The graphic is an absolute must have! I am so glad you got a replacements.
I’m edging towards plain black, no graphics……it just looks so classy! What an amazing job Sarah, that car is stunning and you are a genius! I’m also super stoked you like Van Halen😃😃😃🤘🤘🤘
Absolute YES to the graphics!
Beautiful car. Beautiful restoration. Beautiful person. This project has been a joy to watch.
