some people might not like the music switching from clip to clip in the background. I find it kinda fun, fits the garage vibe. Its always fun recognizing a song, always infuriating when its so familiar and I can't name it. good fun either way
If it's good, I'll listen to it. During the editing process I always get a laugh when one clip is Black Metal, and the next is Andrea Bocelli. Glad some of you enjoy it! I update the Spotify link with the songs I'm listening to at the time if you need that refresher.
I was thinking the same. Sometimes a single background track has an appeal, but other times, like this one, it's refreshing to have a more authentic experience, especially with the variety of music, haha. It was a great editing choice.
This is one of my favorite ongoing build series on RU-vid alongside Aaron Cake. Please keep working and posting! Also I am so glad The Crushinator could stop by and help with the process, what a great cameo.
Still one of the most pleasant builds to catch here (though also, I do have a bias towards the particular year Corolla Joel has been building. Love that car!) Also, very excellent music choices!
That copper finish with the texture of the cast parts is amazing! if i need to do powder coating I'm definitely going to have to "take inspiration" from this. keep up the good work, man. I can't wait to see it put back together.
What a fantastic result - the finish is stunning! Your enthusiasm really shows in this vid - can’t help but smile when watching! Couple of tips: #1 consider wearing nitrile gloves when coming into contact with various chemicals. After a while you can potentially get contact dermatitis from repeated exposure. On the up side - clean hands 😅 #2: get a squeeze bottle for the thinner. Makes it easy to grab and use when you need to clean something and avoids contaminating the rest.
love the series!! would also really appreciate if you could explain how the parts work and what they do, i have no idea about car mechanics and would love to learn.xx
Id love to be that person, but part of the reason for this series is that I’ve never done this before and am figuring it out as I go essentially. Taking old parts off and replacing new is pretty simple, but I wouldn’t claim to know much about car mechanics
Great job as usual! Even though it's only short clips, I'm surprised you don't get a copyright claim for the background music - RU-vid has been petty about that sort of thing in the past.
I keep the clips extremely short, but I think the sound of the work im doing, as well as the reverb in the room muffles it enough. When uploading there are checks done for music copyright and I seem to pass them every time. I've been dinged a long time ago, but it was when I physically placed a song into the audio track of a video, so I keep the opening song and end song to open copyright
Those turned out awesome, the copper on black (assuming you’re keeping my the black) will look really sharp Copper interior accents would look equally good
Love the music, have us vibing to snippets while talking us across ages, love that so much. Always something to catch my attention, share your playlist😂
Thanks man, skipping through all genres, if its good, i'll listen, Bocelli to Black Metal and everything in between. Playlist is in the description and updated with what I was listening to at the time!
@@sansberlin I drive a '99 Solara that I'd consider to be in amazing condition for its age, but I'm always toying with he idea of restoring some of the drivetrain parts like this. I'd love to see how it might've looked brand new. Especially since I don't plan to get rid of it. Plus reusing something that can be saved is always better than buying new! Have you seen the 240Z build on the 'My Mechanics' channel?
i would have gone and replaced the calipers with a more modern design probably easier to find brake pad fitment that way... but damn that powder coat does look good
Thanks man, actually in some previous comments I found out I shouldn't have painted the part where the sliding plates and the inner housing meet, going to scrape that off with a blade before the car gets going
Joel, Do you think the retaining pins that you hammered will prevent caliper from sliding back and fort when the single piston is pushing the brake pads since they are thick ?
I was thinking the same, but this was the original design and I had to hammer the pins out as they were so tight, so I wasn’t surprised when hammering them in
@@sansberlin my dad has experience with these type of calipers and he said they should allow to slide back and fort. We may be wrong but it is worth of checking the design and default specs.
@@mottobc I’ll look into it, I wouldn’t want the added thickness of the powder coat to add unnecessary friction. Of all the videos I’ve never seen one with plates like these, always greased pins with a dust boot. So it’ll be hard to find…
maybe I'm wrong but I belive you shouldn't paint the sliding surfaces in betwin the caliper and the mounting bracket, this is a floating caliper, with only one piston so it needs to be able to slide side to side so it can grab the disk with equal force from each side (piston side and fixed side), that is why they have that sliding plates in betwin the caliper and the mounting bracket. so the plates that you painted grey, and the mating areas of the caliper and the mounting bracket that make contact with the plates should not be painted. I hope this coment does not bother anyone if I am wrong, its made with good intentions, and I hope that I explained myself well, english is not my native language.
No you are very right. A few comments down we had this discussion, and I’ll be sanding down the areas between the caliper and the bracket back to bare metal. Thanks man!
@@sansberlin I don't have experience with powdercoating so I dont know if it is posible but I would recomend tring to scrape the paint with a blade instead of sanding, as to not remove material or alter the geometry of the area. I realy like your videos and this proyekt and cant wait to see it complete.
@@toromanga i'll try that, I took some off previously with a blade and it worked well and seemed to retain the spots already done. Thanks man, and thanks for the advice
Probably, but this series is more of a learning experience on the basics of taking apart and rebuilding a car, we’ll do a resto on the next one with bigger brakes, suspension etc
