Anyone watching B is for Build BRZ resurection series?

Came across an interesting YouTube video series where the person buys a car from Copart, drives the wreck home (Without a door, in the winter) and embarks on a rebuild.

As a guy who loves to tear cars apart and replace tin, I find the series interesting. Anyone else? Anyone know the backstory on the Reno car?

I was going to say that not everybody know about the forum and then realized that if you search anything FRS/BRZ related then the top hits are frequently for here. Guess there is no way that anybody with an internet connection could not know about it.

It's a great series just for the fun of watching someone learn how to do stuff just like MCM....

I'm pretty sure he asked for help with a fuse box before on here.

"I don't really know what I'm doing but I bought this tool from harbor freight that seemed like a good idea to try and fix this hot mess"

I guess I admire the spirit, but seems like making friends with people who actually know what they're doing might be a good move. I watch all of them but mostly because I feel like it's a bit of a trainwreck that I can't turn away from.

Curious to see one of these cars at the local tracks sometime soon.

Waiting for obligatory "haters gonna hate" follow-up posts.
