Barn Find 60 Year Old Sunbeam - Will it Run? 

Glad to be back!!! This car is for sale if this comment is up; shoot me an email if you're interested or comment here

We had a blast bringing the Sunbeam back to life!! Thanks for having me come out!

that chair definitely matches the sunbeam alpine's quirky-ness, loving that you're back. always enjoyed your builds as you feel like a real person doing them!

We're all glad your back! Can't wait to see what other projects you have for us to watch you build! Take chair!

Glad you are back and doing well. I really enjoy watching your progression in the automotive industry! Also, that's a nice CHAIR!

Watching from Spain. Good to see you back in the chair! I like what you did with the Alpine, back on the road and not over restored. This is the sort of video to help budding mechanics.

Good to see you’re back. Excited for the new and old projects. That’s a vintage looking chair you got there.

Glad to see you back. I often sit in my fav chair to watch your old videos for motivation on my project. Hope you keep growing as a channel.

Great to see you back . That chair is a throwback from the 70’s

Glorious chair. Good to have you back posting.

Love that your are back. Sweet Chair too. Looking forward to seeing all you are up to! I never really got into RU-vid but loved what you do and glad you are back. Also stand up guy and love that your kids are a part of what you do. Great guy!

That was fun. As is the chair. Sat through and clicked on every ad. Looking forward to supporting you more and more. Sorry ‘bout the glasses. LASIK is awesome.

Nice shirt! Nice chair! Nice Sunbeam! You love your small wheelbase British cars

Pretty cool chair, Caleb. Glad to see you back!

This is the “chair-y” on top of my week!! So glad you are back, Caleb!!🎉

I can't get over the old pacman Caterpillar sticker in the window, That adds so much personality to the car

Glad to see you back!!! Great transformation👍👍 That CHAIR looks very comfortable🪑

Great to see you back you kind of reminded me of the posh talking gremlin sat in a chair 😂 ✌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I'm glad you're back! love watching you.... love the "chair"!

Chair, chair,chair,chair!!!! Good to see you back,hope you're doing well 😊

i was browsing through who i was subscribed to, saw your name, immediately clicked, new video 3hrs ago, immediately clicked, glad to see you back on yt. Love the throne/chair you're narrating from

Great quick video. Glad the Alpine got running without problem. It's always fun nudging old convertibles back onto the road. For the paint, Meguiars Mirror Glaze 7 is great for getting some life back into single stage paint. Letting it soak for a day or two will really make the paint pop for a while.

Not sure what is more vintage that car or that chair. Super glad to see you posting again. Can't wait to see what you have for us next.

The glasses combined with some of the looks you gave is giving me "bubbles" vibes from trailer park boys

Love you man. 6 months is too long. Your story telling is wonderful. Cant wait to see more content and hopefully have the channel grow. Nice Chair

Welcome back! Loving the 70s chair!

Chair! from the UK great to see a true car channel back!!

Man every video you post has me glued to my chair. Glad to see you posting again!!

Amazing to see you back again and as passionate as ever! Great chair by the way :)

Chair is awesome. Glad to see you back. Your MR2 brought me here years back.

For any car that's sat a very long time, if you care about it, do this.. -ALWAYS pull the plugs first (use borescope if you have one) and heavily lubricate the cylinders down with penetrating oil or ATF and leave to soak. -Pull the fuel line off pre-fuelpump/ remove fuel pump fuse/ pull coil lead/ remove ignition fuse.. -Pull the rocker cover, lube the rocker gear and turn over the engine by hand, watching the valve actuation. -If that's fine and you can turn it over 720° by hand easily or once it is possible to do so easily. (sometimes may take a bit to get it unstuck or has a sticky point where it has sat, this will likely not be a very good engine but possibly still rebuildable) -Then use the starter motor with the plugs still out, checking oil pressure light goes out, or monitoring oil pressure gauge, or removing oil sender to see if any oil comes out. -Once turning over on the starter and it has spat all the penetrating oil/ATF completely out the cylinders, then compression test it. -From there you will know if it has valvetrain or cylinder issues (zero comp : likely stuck valves. low comp likely stuck or damaged ring/rings or pistons, in which case leak down test it) -At this point you have wasted no money on parts, depending on compression you'll determine whether it needs further work or if it's worth you investing money and time into introducing fuel and spark, changing oil etc and all without possibly damaging the engine further..

That kingly chair/throne is amazing.

So good to see you back and hear you are working. Also the boys look bigger... they just grow so fast.

Just wanted to say I’ve had a rough couple days and seeing this video on my feed really chair’d me up! Great to see you back!❤

I'm happy that you're back to posting, hope you can keep it up. Your channel was one of the ones that inspired me to actually start doing stuff with cars. I always love them as a kid but seeing you do stuff on your own without having prior experience gave me the motivation to try. I almost forgot about the chair :)

Man. Love watching your vids in my best chair. Regular uploads again please.

Glad to have you back!

Glad to have you back and I like that yellow chair.

So glad to see your still going, I hate to see how poor of a job RU-vid is doing to push your content out like it used to. Hope you’re doing well man, keep it up!

Nice old survivor. Glad your back, actually the other day at work I was wondering what you were up to lately. Nice CHAIR you got there, matches the older vibe of the old car!

Love the old school chair you were sitting. Kinda fits the old school car vibe. Love the channel keep up the awesome content. My son Caleb got a kick out of you having the same name even though they are spelled differently.

Chair!!! Very happy to see you back. Kids are growing! 🥰

Yes mate!!! Glad to see you back on the tube

Will sit on the same chair and waiting for your next week's vid, glad u're back

Glad you’re back!! Miss you

Love sitting in my favourite “chair” and watching your videos.. glad to see your back at it 🤙🏼

I'm glad to see you back, from South Africa

Glad you're back Caleb!! Missed your content Nice CHAIR you got there. Old school vibe achieved! Saw your post on IG with the MG. Looks fantastic!! Can't wait for the video on it. Amazing transformation on the Triumph! The right person who really appreciates it will turn up and pay good money for it. You did very well to get it to this stage. I'm proud of your efforts. Keep cranking out these videos.

Sitting in my chair so glad to see a new video from ya! That's a sweet little car!

And he's BACK! great to see you again! hope to see you more... Your chair is dope

Glad you are back , really thought you were going to quit so glad you didn’t . I really enjoy the wholesomeness of your channel and your little helpers 😂. That’s a really cool car can’t wait to see what’s next. Maybe put an electric motor on that “Chair”

Glad to have you back! Can't wait to see what else you have been up to during your hiatus. Oh yeah, can't forget to say CHAIR!

omg welcome back kaleb! edit: thats a nice chair you got there

Really nice to see you back. Keeping it real, and again taking on an impressive "small" restoration :-) You have a great chair!.

Great video Kaleb, awesome to see you on the tube again!

Cool project and nice to see you back on the tube with the retro chair and I look forward to the next video

Good to see you Caleb! That starter style is called an inertia starter, it uses the rotational force to pull the pinion in from the back of the flywheel. They work fine, but can wear the flywheel and pinion faster than a pre-engaged starter due to the fact that the pinion is already turning when it tries to engage the flywheel. There usually are pre-engaged replacements available if it does turn into an issue, specially for most Morris/BMC/Leylands, not sure on Sunbeams though. I could tell straight away that starter was not the issue, it made a nice engagement sound and then stopped dead, meaning to engine doesn't turn. But that is just prior experience. Nice car, nice chair. By the way, although the Sunbeam Tiger was the title scene car in most of the Original "Get Smart" TV shows, they actually used an Alpine with Tiger badges in most of the shows to allow more room under the hood for the pop-up machine guns and gadgets. (Insert Rainbow, and "The More You Know" gif here.) 😆

Idk how you find the odd ball cars like this but I really enjoy seeing you bring them to life ... the car looked depressed in the beginning but with some love it seem to Chair up some 😉 ..BTW the air needs to be fixed onto the valve after you spray starter fluid...then u light it 😂 you got lucky..soooo lucky! But as always this was another great video and can't wait to see what in-store for the next one...Good to have my favorite channel back!!!! ..awesome job 👌

Really excellent intro. Wonderful chair. Extremely well done voiceover during the mechanicals. And the primarily painful part is that. It’s not a tiger. With a small block. V8. Lol keep up the great work.

Awesome to see you again , man. Your channel is one of the most interesting channels in RU-vid

love that ur back, nice chair

Finally after a long years of wait....its good to see you back....love from india meghalaya

That is a nice chair you have there sir

Alpine Talbot made a few great cars. This is one worth saving. Great video 2x👍

Great to see you back. The sunbeam is a tough one for spares. My dad has a 1967 series 5 he's owned it since 1968.

So happy to see you back and the narration from the CHAIR was awesome!!!!

Nice to have you back Caleb awesome video

That's no chair, that's your throne of awesomeness!

Nice to see you back again with that chair ;)

Holy crap - what a transformation 😮 - good to have you back😊

So glad you are back Kaleb in your yellow chair.

Yes! A new video. I've recently bought a MGB GT LE. And all I've done to restore it is watch your videos haha 👍

Welcome back Caleb!! Nice CHAIR

Love it man! Keep up the good work. Love that the bleeders are working out for you!

Nice to see the channel up and about. Love that Chair your sitting in.

I just love to sit back at my chair and watch your videos 😁

Back in my easy chair watching Built Official! It is a good day

Really glad I came across your video. I saw this car when it went up for sale and was posted on the Sunbeam forum. If I’d had the time and place to put it I would have bought it. I’m in Georgia. I have a Series V Alpine and my dad has an Alpine and a Tiger. Glad to see this one made it back on the road. Oh yeah…CHAIR 😂

So so so happy!

This has almost inspired me to work on my 1967 Firebird (that does run) in my garage. Needs some body stuff that I'm nervous about. Chair

Happy you are back brother, lovely royal chair! Cant wait to see fat$un!!!
