I follow both of these guys on youtube, so it's great to see them doing a collaboration.
I know he's making a Supra/G29 Z4 joke calling it the new Supra, but just ignore the odd 'joke' and enjoy the content :wink:
I'm looking forward to this 4-day build to see how it turns out since he plans on keeping it and trying other things later (auto to manual swap, engine swap, etc).
Tavarish will be covering the same build (the mechanicals side) on his channel as well, for twice the Z4 content :thumbsup:

They paid US$3,200 for a 2013 28i that's already had 3 'salvages'.

And then took it on a public road unrepaired.

Yes, some of these guys can seem a bit 'loose' when it comes to processes, ie, maybe they should have checked everything top to bottom before driving it. But don't confuse these videos with 'how to' instructional videos, these are more entertaining than educational. I enjoy watching them, and unlike most of the 'repair/renovation/restoration' tv shows on at the moment, people aren't screaming at each other and trying to do bare-metal rebuilds to get to a show/auction in 3 hours :thumbsdown:
I don't necessarily agree with some of the things they do, or methods they use, but they genuinely seem to love cars and are willing to have a go at things we might walk away from. Obviously they're in it to make money from YT content, but it looks like they have some fun while doing it :)

At least they are showing what they have done, hate to think what's driving on our roads, that's had the same sort of attention :|

I also like watching both of these guys on youtube so I was excited to see them both collaborating on a e89 z4. I enjoyed the first video from B is for Build. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

Chelsea had better keep her M5 hidden or it will end up with a V10 in it. :D :D :D
