Fixing My Weird Barn Find Project Car 

I really want to see a super long series of Justins project cars. Dude is really likeable and fun to watch.

Loved hearing Justin’s speech at the end about how a car matters because of what you love about it and nothing else. Hell yeah

Sandro is a true artist. Let him fuck with that van!

Thank you BigTime and James for giving Donut the kick in the ass they've desperately needed

videos like this are why i like donut so much. anything true money pit style is so fun to watch. love the unique car with ups and downs in get parts all with the goal of doing it because you love it.

Donut management, i want to give you a compliment. people hated on you guys for changing the channel, you took it to heart and now we get build content again, it feels like donut 2.0. its not the same but its not different in the wrong way. Thank you, honestly thank you. not every corporate takeover has to be a dud like car throttle for example . ❤❤

Bro Justin is awesome. Dude’s always smiling, laughing, has the energy and speaks well on camera; he’s just impossible to hate. I’d love to see more videos where he’s the main guy like in this one 👍🏼

So glad to see Justin getting his time in the sun, dude is so likable!

The fact it’s filmed in a driveway and not a shop makes it more entertaining to watch and more relatable. That why money pit was so awesome

Justin is just a good wholesome dude. Happy to see him get a car that means a lot to him back on the road.

This episode felt way more personable and really relates to a lot of us tinkering on projects with our friends. I'm really happy where Nolan is taking Donut. Looking forward to more of Zach and Justin 🤞🏻

Let Sandro fuck with that van

"The car barely runs and needs a rebuild" "I found lowering springs" I love you guys

Searching for parts on your phone, working in a driveway and trying to decipher a shop manual; this is the most realistic Donut video ever.

I know people have had a lot to say about donut lately, but Justin has been behind some of the best most relatable content for the last year.

This is the content we like. Also let Sandro fuck with that Van

Proof that Donut is the people. Don't give us stupid high production videos. Give us this. I hope the right people in Donut hear this.

Best Donut content in a hot minute. Let Sandro fuck with the van already!

Please let Justin have a series for the entire build of this car, I have not enjoyed a Donut video nearly this much in a very long time

My first car was a 1984 Impulse. Very unique, and very fun!! Glad to see you getting one back on the road!! Sure do miss mine!

Justin and Nolan are putting Donut on their backs and carrying it onwards and upwards. Good stuff my dude.

Duuuude! I had one in 1984, bought new. It was black with a gray cloth interior and a 5 speed. Loved the car hated how slow it was. I’m now gonna watch the video. Oh, I kept it 7 years. After the show: Way to go! Mine had an ASC installed moonroof. But, gotta love that dash with the adjustable pods on each side. Are the set screw with knurled knob under each one, still? You can swing them a bit so your fingers just touch the buttons and slides work to your finger length. I replaced my head unit with a Proton system with Pioneer speakers that fit under the factory grilles. Left the EQ but it didn’t function. Flow tinted all the windows so it looked way cool on a black car. Yes I loved the eye lids. You can flash the headlights and the lids don’t need to move. So many memories are flooding back. Yes, building up a head of steam to go south on the 405 from the Valley to the Westside. Then a car pulls in front of me and I lose all momentum and had to struggle in 3rd to get over the hill. More memories. Great job guys! Keep going add a turbo!

Loved hearing Justin’s speech at the end about how a car matters because of what you love about it and nothing else. Hell yeah 🔥

Yooooo! Glad Justin got his first Big Time vid!

Don't apologize for working on your car on the driveway instead of the garage, we're all working on our cars in the driveway. This was so relatable and exactly why i started with this channel in the first place. Just keep doing this man, and maybe we get to see another one of these with you working on that SVX

Shoutout to your best friend Zack for doing this with you! Thorougly enjoyed watching this episode.

I have to say this is pretty cool seeing the guys work on their own personal project cars. It's nice to see the level of passion and knowledge of the project, explaining why they think it's cool and providing backstory on the car along the way. Love it!

Brother, this absolutely made my year.. I have an 88 impulse turbo and also an 86.. my 88 has been sitting for 20yrs untouched. My 86 was last driven in 2014. I'm so excited that this video was put together , it gave me the push I needed to get to work. Thank you so much. 🔥💪🏾👍🏽

Fuel tank welding/cutting safety tips: Remove all liquid. Rinse thoroughly and repeatedly. Rinse with solvent, acetone, paint thinner, etc. until rinse fluid drains clear. Let sit twenty four hours minimum. Extra days sitting are not bad. Turn and clamp the tank so that whichever opening is highest on the tank is highest in the air. Tape all but two openings shut. Use a non flammable gas (Argon, CO2, Argon/CO2 mix, etc. if the tank is aluminum use straight argon.) to fill the tank as much as possible with that gas. You want to remove all of the air. Tape the last openings shut. If one is lower than the other, tape the lower port and add more gas, tape the last port shut. Perform any and all cutting/grinding/welding from the highest point to the lowest point. Bonus: if you have a large enough container, put the entire tank in the container and fill the out container with your welding mix. Remember, there is no air in the box, if you put your face in the box you could potentially pass out. If you pass out and your face lands in the box it COULD kill you (as unlikely as it is that your face would end up in the box without knocking it over and spilling the gasses). With no air or flammable fumes in and around the tank there’s no risk of combustion. Safety first, always assume there is a risk of combustion m.

Watching this makes me feel good about working on my own car. I'm so sick of watching guys on RU-vid that have all the know-how and they do all the cool jump cuts and make everything look easy and make them look good. I feel like this is me working on my car. Not only entertaining but uplifting. Thanks guys, and let Sandro get into that van!!

I highly recommend cleaning out that fuel tank with acetone and coating the inside with Red-Kote. That will prevent any of that old rust from entering the fuel pickup again.

mad respect to sandro doing some real OG shit with that tank!

I love that the common theme in this video is "we should have red the instructions" :D

This was an awesome video! It's great to see a car like this hit the road again. I love watching Justin, too. He's such a good dude. When the other left, I was pretty bummed, but then I realized it was more screen time for Justin, which perked me up. He deserves it!

Jimmy got those overnight parts from Japan

Yaaass, let Justin fix all his weird cars! Been waiting for some of these to pop up on the channel.

Really liking these at-home style restoration videos, they're fun and new. Would love to see the finished product

JUSTIN! If you guys are able to get a hold of the people at hawk performance brake pads, you can send a photo of the pad to them and they can make them for you, it’s what we did for our Miata’s Wilwood brake kit

I have twin boys, hearing Justin’s speech about being a twin really put things into perspective.

Love it. Justin with a weird car, in a hot driveway with a friend. Great content.

The Impulse looks dope. Love it.

"we're just fat and slow" story of my life doing anything to my car lmao.

Getting frustrated, trying to find discontinued parts, out of the box work arounds and working with friends. Form memories, and connections with other enthusiasts. I'm glad to see you back on the road 💪

Idk what it is about older cars but I love seeing them get brought back to life in all their glory

Great video! One small thing about the dampers not rebounding, this is not always a good way to evaluate dampers! A lot of these older cars simply have oil (not oil AND gas filled) dampers and they actually dont rebound on their own!

BEST CHEVETTE EVER! Giugiaro design FTW!

Former CA DMV employee here. It’s been some time since I was working those lines but vehicle registration can get awfully complicated pretty fast. But I know from experience that, back when I worked there in the early 2000’s, if you found the right person at the office who knew their stuff well that even complicated problems could be easily resolved. But finding that person at the DMV isn’t exactly easy so having a registration service do it really does alleviate the stress. I was usually ‘the guy on the inside’ because I actually had the authority and leeway to waive fees, certain requirements, and usually clean up an otherwise messy operation. Believe me, the customer is definitely not the only person who appreciates a streamline solution to a messy situation.

Donut is SO lucky to have Justin and Nolan around to step in and be as awesome and likeable as they are. I really enjoy this content and hope it continues!

Zach Diehl is a welcome addition to Donut. Wish he got a better introduction to the channel but he shines here, dude rocks. This is the kinda content Donut has been missing, and is why Big Time was immediately successful. Hopeful for the future of Donut with videos like this and Hi Low being back.

What makes this a good video you ask? Justin’s passion for the content. You can’t fake the real emotions he displayed in this video. Donut decision makers: take notes.

You guys are doing a great job listening to your viewers and giving them what they want. All the hoopla made when James, Jobe, and Jeremiah announced they were leaving was overblown and I'm happy to see you continuing to do what has made this channel great.

Kinda some disrespect towards Jobey that they are now making videos working on crew members project cars when he asked prior and were denied plenty of times. Now that they see that Big time is doing good with videos like those they decide to start making videos like these and guess what, in their garage. Low blow or damage control? You be the judge

I'm sure Japan has a community of Isuzu Impulse owners who can help you source the parts. Can't wait to see more of that build. Great episode!

I love these cars. The commercials back in the day were the best. We had in the Isuzu dealership in Orlando with this iconic sign in front of it was a landmark here. The 1996 Impulse, Nissan Sentra SE-R , Honda Prelude, and Ford Contour SVT were my dream cars as a teen. It's great to see someone working on this project car. You guys have inspired me to venture out and track down my childhood dream cars. Good luck, and be encouraged.

2:40 sorry you live in California where they designed smog tests to keep cars like yours off the roads as much as possible.

Geo Storm!

20:37 and that’s why Donut is failing. Tight deadlines forcing y’all to do things the fast way, not the right way.

Justin just feels like such a real ass dude We want more of Justin!!! 🎉

This is the type of content I subscribed to donut for. Let's get back to more of this, no more corporate drivel content.

This video is not about fixing cars, is about how terrible California is to fix cars

11:50 an illustrated parts breakdown?! The aircraft mechanic in me just lost it. That's awesome.

Justin has always been great and as a fellow vet, I respect the hell out of him. I am so glad he's becoming one of the top content hosts of Donut!

Justin is just a straight up super likable guy. Glad he stayed on.

Justin has impeccable taste. Really hope to see more like this on the channel and less clickbait reaction videos.

one of the best videos in a while honestly. I'd love to see more Isuzu stuff, especially if you have to make it custom.

I'm so glad I don't have to deal with these "title" issues in Canada. All you have to worry about is the ownership, which is the registration.

Seeing Justin being the small guy for once. Also, the camera loves Zach. He makes it seem effortless.

that nut tap was true friendship. Also let sandro fuck with the van

It’s a big undertaking to get an old car back on the road without much support for aftermarket parts or NOS stuff. It’s easy to restore a GM C-10 or K5, but a car like this Impulse, you have to be resourceful and patient. Mad respect to you, Justin. I can totally relate. Can’t wait to see how this car progresses.

Donut yall need to give Justin his own series of the car 🔥

Need more videos like this Justin is and Zach are fun to watch

One consistent thing I noticed about restoring old cars that have been sitting is that the fuel system needs a complete refresh - nearly everytime! Typically the battery will be dead, spark/ignition trouble can occur uncommonly as well, but without a doubt - almost everytime - the fuel system needs a complete refresh. If I ever plan to park a car for years, I'm suctioning the fuel tank empty, or putting some fuel stabilizer inside.

Justin and Nolan are straight up carry donut in there back to keep this channel alive and I praise them for it 💪. I'd like to see a series on Justin's barn car project for sure.

One of my favorite Donut episodes. Justin has my style of uniqueness when it comes to cars. Love the impulse!❤

I'm so glad to see Justin adventures with this car continue. Thanks Donut

I remember seeing the Isuzu impulse around when I was younger. There wasn't many of them but I thought they were cool. Also, would love to see Justin get more spotlight. He's a cool dude. Keep the project cars and build episodes coming.

We need more of the last few minutes of this video. Speaking to what our odd car tastes do to us and where they originate from is a refreshing look into who you are. 👏🏼

This is what I want. Shows like these with people like Justin who are into cool cars and getting them on the road again.

Manage the money and let the creators create. Donuts coming back around and it's SO COOL to see Justin getting more spotlight. Dude absolutely deserves it

Love an all Justin episode! Easily my favorite dude on Donut. Glad you've got your long awaited project car on the road!

13:06 is Giorgetto Giugiaro, Italian automotive designer, for anybody wondering. lol

Best Donut video in quite a while. Really enjoyed this one. Takes me back to early Donut. Doing it in a driveway just gives it that grassroots feel. Justin has been such a great addition to the channel. Keep doing more like this. This is the stuff that made me follow the channel in the first place.

This is the best video donut has released in a long time, I’m talking even before James, Jerry, and Jobe left. Just a couple friends in the driveway 👍

I think what went down with this channel recently turned out to be really good for automotive RU-vid, everybody really won here in the end

Wow! One of the best Donut videos I’ve ever seen! Bravo! Justin is brilliant. Videos like this why I started watching Donut. We need more Justin!

Best video from donut in a long time. This content is why folks liked you in the first place. More please

Props for Sandro cutting and welding that tank! He knows what he's doing! You can't simply weld a gas tank. It has gasoline vapors and can literally explode when welding. Some people fill the tank with argon gas. Some people fill it with dry ice. Anything to displace the oxygen while welding.

Sandros hand gestures vs his personality and love of his job is just too much for many I am sure. He just a weird and special wonderful guy that does stuff that may blow up soon. But hasn’t yet on a video that we know about. He, Justin, and Steph are good fold into the lost cast. I follow the lost boys and the new members. Love all of you

Now we gotta get some custom body kits done and some really clean wheels on it and get this thing a detailing so it can look super snazzy

It is great to see Justin do Justin things! Shout out to Sandro for rocking OG skills, something that is incredibly hard to find (even in a city as large as LA). Zach too, another set of hands make jobs like this go so much faster (and with more laughs). Justin, I remember a rumor that the Impulse was originally Giugiaro’s design for the Mk II Scirocco but VW deemed it too futuristic and scaled it back to the design we all know. Either way, yours is looking great on those lower springs!

32:19 the outro melted my heart.

I'd love to see more of the Impulse getting build! I myself love odd quirky unknown cars and have owned and still own several myself. Currently am building a 1998 Nissan Stagea. My only criticism is please get a better cameraman!! Dude needs to hold a camera straight and learn how to zoom with focus. This video was making me dizzy and giving me a headache lol. Aside from that, the content was great. Keep the car-related stuff coming!

This is a car I would love to see Justin continue to work on. The lowering springs really made it look sick and the headlights are dope af.

This is the sort of content I need. No flashy edits and lo fi hip hop beat-interludes for no reason, just realistic work done on a weird ass car.

This was awesome! Justin is a great host and glad this got a longer video.

Zach and Justin need their own show

Awesome job Justin, Zach and Sandro!

These are the boyz Sandro needs to help out more. Hats off for him making the most expensive gas tank ever. Not gonna lie even though I know there were Chevette roots this design still looks good after all these years. Now you get to spend time telling people actually it is a ..... :) Good on you my guy!

the chemistry between zack and justin is awesome in this video, something you dont see with other donut members, probably because theyre best friends 😂

Oh hell yes. Nothing better than weird forgotten cars. Even better that it's a Giorgetto Giugiaro! I swear everything I like is his work. You'd better keep those wheels! That's some sweet retro goodness and they fit the car so well
