How Many More Parts Do We Need to Fix Our Project 1987 Chevy S10?

"Project NA Miata Gets Its Interior Back!" is exactly the reassembly its title promises. On 1A Auto's channel, the parts retailer's home for thousands of how-to videos, Rich puts the seats, dash and carpet back into a 1990 Mazda Miata, with sound deadener going down first. Before any of that, he deals with some rust and paint. The description mentions a special guest helping with the airbox but never says who, and it calls the project almost wrapped up.

It was one of just two uploads, and at three days old it is the channel's liveliest video. The other went back to the 1987 Chevy S10, where Rob and Steve walk around the truck, outside and then inside, writing up the parts still needed after the brake and steering work. Sue checks in near the end. The S10's earlier steering episode, with Cristian and Rob replacing forty-year-old hardware, is still drawing a steady trickle of views.

That is a modest week for a channel that usually counts its daily views in the hundreds of thousands, most of them coming from its huge repair library. Among similar car channels, Speeed is running ahead of its normal pace, while Tavarish and Car Throttle are close to theirs. With two project cars on the lift at once, 1A Auto spent the week in its garage.
