We live in times with products and vehicles with predesigned inbuilt obsolesence which fits with a throwaway society. People need to keep fixing and using the old stuff that was designed to be fixed ...... people are loosing the skill and desire to do anything other than throw it away or depend on a dealer to plug in to a diagnostic machine. Check your diff/axle oil for going mayo ...... think about raised axle breathers. Thanks for another great film.
Nice of those men to help you. In live in Australia. My car chucked a rod thru the block. A farmer stopped in his Toyota 4WD. He hitched me up as he was going to my hometown. He towed me to my mechanic and I said to him can I help pay your diesel costs. Took all day from 9 in the morning stopped for lunch and arrived at 4.30 in the afternoon. He said to me you can do something like that for another person and drove off. Was a good 250 to 300 km's. Amazing those people who live way out west. Never forget it.
What makes a fantastic channel for me: 1. No stupid music of any kind, filed real-time recordings 2. No chit-chat, however 'amusing' it is supposed to be... 3. Unpretentious, practical and honest restoration 4. Long format .ie. more than 90 minutes 5. Straightforward simple edits, leave the camera looking at what is happening, no special cuts or tricky edits And I love the subtitles, yes we can read! We are literate. This is a real pleasure to watch, thank you.
Another great video! You put the biggest smile on my face when you broke out the little whisk broom, that was standard equipment when I used to help my Dad clean his car every Saturday morning when I was a kid in the 60’s to early 70’s😃 I haven’t used one of those In decades, you made my day!!!! God bless you!
Your like the king of Minnesota, this is my new favorite channel, I'm just finish my technical career and this is like the most important feedback for the basics for every mechanic, thanks for sharing
Rule No. 1 is never go off-roading alone (on purpose). Also, if it's an option, back out from being stuck. It's also worth noting winches are usually rated with the minimum number of wraps and pulling power drops off as the cable packs on the spool.
Lots of caked on mud, the downside of off road driving 😊 The good thing is that it exposed the bad bearings but what a big job. The new paint looks excellent. Gradually picking away at all the jobs that need to be done. Very enjoyable video.
These videos are so well done, and the mechanic work being shown demonstrates an outstanding maintenance aesthetic that strikes the balance of repair, restore, replace-no easy accomplishment! The meticulous diagnostic work and strategic incremental improvement is truly inspiring. This man will go far.
Carter Auto Restyling. He's crazy and talks too much but you might get a laugh outa Alan and Poe. His cats. I have watched him with captions I think. Don't remember. I don't think you live far from him but he's in Canada. He works on some cool old stuff but his specialty is body work. Good channel to watch if you're snowed in maybe. lol
Of course you had to power wash the car inside out bottom etc.. yet I'm afraid in time and if you do not protect the whole car, water will destroy its body! Do you have something in mind to fully restore it?! Good luck! And stay safe! ❤
Hey Simon just thought I’d throw a little helpful hint at you here buddy…. when you’re holding a chisel or a Screwdriver beating A bearing race or anything else for that matter.… try to use a pair of channel locks or pair of pliers to hold your chisel with so you don’t hit your hand there buddy…. really enjoy your channel keep up the good work man you do a good job!
Wonderful video, I cringed when you installed those incorrect Chinese brake lines, instead of ordering the correct ones. Those extra wheels in the trunk may be aluminum hubcap wheels, quite desirable and worth $$
you`re right once again ! I can tell must or the troubles I've been through with winches was bad connections, defective solenoid of poor/ insufficient or defective ground wire.
