@gvi341984 there's also DIY Gang who rebuilt a burned Hellcat... (mind you, from what I watched of that series there was more replaced than rebuilt & I was left feeling numb to it with how much they replaced. More done to prove a point than to save "the car" because there was barely anything left of the original car afterwards)
@@aterack833 I was trying to come up with something about a car actually need fire inside. But you certainly win here. -By the way, I find that "Air ingress in the fuel lines" sounds less embarrassing than "running out of fuel"....😁😁
I need a mechanic like him looking at a torched engine and says it rotates and that's good, very re-assuring, is what i expect to hear from a mechanic.
That’s funny because I think my car might have narcolepsy, every time I come to a sudden stop it falls asleep. It gets to be a real pain in the butt in town where there’s a lot of stop lights.
Garage 54, I have an Idea for you. here in the US back in the 60's n 70's we had cars that we joked you could land an airplane on. lol so my idea is take two of your cars and weld them side by side, remove the wheels on the sides that are welded together and the steering wheel from the "passenger" car so you have a super wide car that hauls 8 people comfortably. lol
Thats why I keep watching you all...fun entertaining and interesting gear head experiments! No matter the language or country, i think us gear heads all think alike. Looking forward to the next one.
1:05 considering the build quality and the high proportion of Iron (over alloys/plastics), this is a great engine to choose for this kind of revival attempt. I'd wager that it will at least start, maybe not run well or last long but with the toughness of these engines & you guy's skill and lateral thinking it'll go again. On a side note, I've always had a desire to build a car that is driveable but with as much of it as possible completely burned out. Maybe if this runs it'll give me some more inspiration to go for it...
I know a fellow that had his R31 Skyline torched by an ex-girfriend. The entire rear portion of the car was burned out, but the car still ran and drove. Out of pure spite, he drove it to his auto-electrical shop and almost immediately began rebuilding the car. He still has the car to this day, and if you didnt know the history, you probably wouldnt pick that itd been torched a bit over a decade ago.
One future experiment might be using gallium as lubrication in an engine with a lot of aluminum or an aluminum block. Gallium attacks aluminum, so it could be a spectacular result! But it would have to be very clean inside the motor and to possibly run the gallium would need to be heated until it turns liquid.
You all make good machines! But I have seen diesels go threw a hell of a lot more! Our 5.9 Cummings for example you can’t kill them! 7.3 power stroke as well! Love your videos and keep them coming!
it's so much better to see an engine going back together. we learn from blowing them up, but we learn more putting them back together. it sounds like you might put the whole car back together. that would be very expensive. may i suggest making a frame and putting it back as a dune buggy or a shop truck. myself, i love making trucks. they can be as simple as you want and if you do a good job they are extremely handy to have around.
I wish you guys would have only replaced the carburetor,distributor and the couple of wires it would need to run,not touched anything else and see if it would start & run.
Now make a 4 way joystick that actuates four single piston cylinders (use a master from a hydraulic clutch - 2002 Accent for example) in an X formation and connect it to a X and Y axis pivoting joystick with pushrods to press into each master, oriented centrally so that each corner of the X points to the wheels LF, RF, RR, LR starting at top left and going clockwise. Connect the other end respectively to each corner of the car's brakes with brake lines - 4 way selective brakes ;)
Make a perpetual motor out of magnetics and I loved your magnetic spring idea use a wedge and 8 magnetics next time lol add a spring on the guide pins to float a slow crush
It would be nice to see this car made fully functional and looking the same. But without having to worry about soot and rust getting on the drivers and passengers clothes.
@@Kristo99 I just want to see effectively a bus with a Lada on the front end. nice stair well from the front of the bus into the passenger seat so the driver can get up into the bus. just a Frankenstein of a party bus - Russian style
1:47 That looks like a timer board for intermittent wipers. If your steel parts are OK, you should be able to get it running again. Most everything that was cooked is just ancillaries, no big problem.
Hey buddy try taking the front subframe mounting it in the back with the engine like a Lamborghini then take another subframe same as car put it back in front so you can still steer and all that and make it the trunk love to c😎
Not firing on all cylinders check your ignition system.6 kilos of compression that’s 15psi that wouldn’t even pop,now 6 bar would be low but it would run .
Me and my dad had a diesel truck that burnt down, we replaced the lift pump and some feed and return lines and it ran, but leaked, then re changed the injection pump, wouldn’t run, so we used the seals from one to the original and presto it worked and sealed and then we sold it
burnt car & engien you say? then you might not have seen Diy Gang's helcat. that car & engien was burned to the ground ! but the engien still worked yes !, & the car body was fixed ! 😮
