Good progress on brakes! I believe your passion for car repair is something special. Thanks to this channel many people can get to know it and appreciate amazing person you are. You will be able to make a living doing what you love. It may take some time but it sure is worth all the effort. In the end if you do what you love it's not even hard work at all😆. Thanks again for being an inspiration for all home mechanics! 😅. The best is yet to come my friend!
You should spray everything underneath except for the exhaust system with ACF50 to protect it for ever white keeping the dreaded rust at bay. Those rear alloy drums are fantastic the fins are to aid with cooling and stopping them from overheating, awesome, i had a set of them on my Mini and they worked great.
Always entertaining and lots of content, you seem to enjoy working on old cars as much as I did when i had the space.I know what you mean about it de-stressing you.Good luck on the job front.I am going to be a patron for the next few months hope it helps you to continue.
Sorry about your job. Glad to hear that you are positive about the situation and I have no doubt that new opportunities will arise. Keep up working in the garage, you are an inspiration to many. Personally, I am looking forward to new episodes on the wonderful A112 Abarth!
Your explanations about time "well spent" is a clue as to why this is becoming one of my favourite "go to" DIY hands on car repair and restoration sites. The man's enthusiasm shines through. Now retired, I have time to spend working on my cars. Breathing fresh and lasting life into someone else's neglected cast off nice old cars is something that will always give me pleasure, That engine bursting into life first turn of key fully justifying my time well spent. Still in regular daily driver use eight years later. I enjoy fashioning new cupro-nickle Brake Lines for my project cars. Very satisfying and appeals to my artistic side too. Bonus.
You've made great progress on this one. The wheelarches look fantastic. I'm sorry you've lost your 24-hour job (I dropped my job to 30 hours per week a year or two ago so I know exactly what you mean). But you have gained so much experience over the years that I'm sure you would be able to to make up the income through doing paid work. Just take care that the pressure of doing these jobs for other people doesn't spoil your enjoyment.
Your closing sentence is very valid. When the stress of work exceeds the enjoyment, time for a change. Fortunately I learned that many years ago when I gave up a well paid stressful job before suffering burn out. I handed over the keys to the nice company car and the company Credit card I could have abused if I was so inclined and never looked back. You cannot beat being your own boss.
Actually I mispoke.. it was 25 hours! but still nice... 3 days a week!.. Yea I will make sure to keep a balance on work/hobby.... I think I could make good money fixing newer cars, oil change and so on.. but I wont.... I like the old and special stuff!
It's terrific to watch this Phoenix rising. Sorry to hear about your job loss. With your obvious "can do" attitude, I hope a new and better career awaits.
Do I see a LPG vaporizer near the master brake cylinder? Did the Niva run on LPG? You see that a lot here in the NL. Lada’s mostly did better on LPG than on petrol…..
🤣 Go for the TH-cam channel! You'll make a great living. It will take a bit longer, but you'll definitely get there. many people make a great living, doing TH-cam.
@@SeasideGarage You're growing subs pretty fast, my friend. A million times faster than myself. I'm not trying hard enough, at all, which is dumb, really.
Hej Seaside! Jeg er ked af at høre du har mistet dit arbejde! Jeg overvejer næsten at høre dig, om du har mod på at kigge på min Mini mod betaling, da jeg har det omvendte problem med 2 små børn, så jeg har ikke ret meget tid selv… Jeg fik aldrig sendt en tegning på rammen, jeg nævnte. Det var egentlig bare at bygge en struktur op mellem liften og bilen, så bilen blev løftet tidligere, så du måske kunne slippe for at tage hjulene af, inden du løfter :)
Det gir mening med rammen... det ville være smart.. Jeg arbejder på livet løs på at finde ud af hvordan jeg kan tilbyde at lave andres biler på en ordnet facon mht. til skat osv... Jeg håber meget at kunne tilbyde det snart! Vil meget gerne skrue på din fine mini!
Thanks for all the videos, especially the Rustin Metro! Your videos are great and good mental hygiene for others too. Sorry to hear about your job, but maybe they set you free 🛺🛵🚗

Thank you so much Marcin! Its heartwarming to read these comments!
It's great to see this little thing getting all the love, it's been missing for the last few years.
It really ended up in the right hands :)
Thanks!
Its looking forward to try your field out in the future! ;)

Acf50 is a great product, and can be used in electrics as well. Especially good for old cars.

The new wheel arches look great.

Great to hear!... Its amazing the bond and satisfaction you can get though some old iron, history and 4 wheels...
Sorry to hear about your job loss. Maybe a door is opening for you to find something better. Those brake calipers are next level.
Yea new opportunitys will come... and hopefully even more time in the garage! :)
Sorry to hear about your job but as so many people have said another door will be opening so good luck video's are great

The channel is indeed very inspiring. I'm restoring a Saab 99 myself, hope to be able to drive it next summer.
That's awesome to hear!
I am glad you are making the best of losing your job!
I really enjoy watching your videos while I am on dialysis.
Thank you Al.... Great to know you enjoy it! I will crack on!

Aluminium drums, I remember something about them being great, once, then after that, an austin allegro's brakes are a huge upgrade... :P
great job bro
Thanks!
Much Appreciated! thanks!
Tack!
Mange Tack! :D
I used to have a Niva. I’m sorry I gave it away. 👍🔧
All these pun-y titles will niva get old
You niva know....
@@SeasideGarage Niva say Niva... Don't you dare stop with the excellent "punes".
They give some people a Lada pleasure...
Do I see a LPG vaporizer near the master brake cylinder? Did the Niva run on LPG? You see that a lot here in the NL. Lada’s mostly did better on LPG than on petrol…..
Yes... the tank is missing though and we have one filler station for LPG in Denmark... so off it goes!
🤣
Go for the TH-cam channel! You'll make a great living. It will take a bit longer, but you'll definitely get there. many people make a great living, doing TH-cam.
That would be nice... really nice!
