This guy is a genius! :D Everyone knows what he is going to do, but for safety reasons, he won't show us the process. My first thought was "cut the spring" and he did. ^^ In germany this kind of stuff is highly forbidden. :(
A nice tip I learned when I put brand new coilovers on my car was after I got my height where I wanted, I went back in there and wrapped electrical taped around the rest of the exposed threads so if I ever needed to readjust again after driving around a while, I’d just unwrap the tape and it would be super easy. Just a way to keep it clean and easy for the next time 👍🏽 but I love your vids man I can’t wait to see the rest of the progress
Will you have enough travel with that setup? I used to use MR2 SW20 rear struts in my corolla strut tubes. You can get aftermarket stuff readily available. Plus you cut down the stock strut tube about 40mm. This fits the OE sized MR2 rear strut, and gives you more usable stroke. I also weld a 1/2 thick section of pipe over the OD of the strut for the new sleeve to sit on. I used to have write ups for all this but the crash of photobucket took a bunch out. The rear with 2" blocks will pick up a rear inside tire while on hard cornering. Love the build!
Man.. u are really talented. I admire u more than the way admire those rich guys who own big garages. I can't wait to see the final result of thad DOPE Corolla!
LOL just replaced taillight lenses on the same type of corolla exactly the same color and a full service all parts were bought in our local Toyota dealership South Africa. One of the technicians didn't see the customer card, to my amsument it was signed in as Customer name: Built. Guess I'm not the only one in the shop watching your channel.
He is still young and immortal. He will learn when he gets the first real shrapnel in to eye. I just hope that it is not a cutting disc which explodes.
@@deadslow201 Yeah because old guys doesn't do this? Have had shrapnel in the eye two times so bad i had to go to the doctor to get it removed. Both of that times i used safety glasses (should prob. used a full cover glasses or skiing goggles, but yeah they fog up) And i still use a flap disc to just take of some rust or something small sometimes without using glasses. If im using a cutting disc, carbon disc, those metal strings cleaning discs or doing grinding work i always use glasses. So yeah you should use glasses, but for using a flap disc on some light rust for 20 seconds isnt gonna make you go to the doctor with shrapnel in the eye if your not using the grinder completely wrong.
Gotta give it to you bro you do a lot of stuff the average joe can do and that’s rare definitely cool too see your kid chilling in the shop with you I don’t like a lot of videos but you got my like keep up the great work bud
All I gotta say is love the channel and the videos and Man U living the dream being able to build a car and moving forward with your career and family it’s awesome to see

Also forgot my Gramps suggested to put transmission fluid back into where the shock goes. If you notice the shock housing has fluid at first but yes both should work just alittle more
Bruhh...... get you some eye protection. Had me in cringe when you broke out that wire wheel. Love how the build is coming, can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep it goin!!!
Pretty much what I did on mine. But I used strut cartridges from 91-98 corolla and shortened my strut housings. Almost made it too low. Wish I could share pics with you.
Love the videos, great to see a build on an old wagon. Love that you involve your kidscin the vids. I just wish you would wear saefty glasses when grinding and using the wire wheel, you only get one set of eyes man.
Most truck shops that build driveshafts and such can custom make you u-bolts. I would highly advise getting some that are the right size because the ones you have in there now are an accident waiting to happen.
Surprised you didn't go with a steel threaded coilover sleeve kit. The advantage with them is you can weld them to the strut sleeve rather than relying on rubber O rings to stop the rattling. Also, I didn't see you refill the sleeve with oil/trans fluid to help with heat dispersion, was there a reason for that?
Damn i miss all of my old toys. Custom chopping is the only way. I never did any quality work like this though. Great job! So many cars none for more than $300 now in my searching most run around 15k...to only do again........
Hey bud. Just wondering why you didnt put rear shocks and new leaf springs in when you put the lowering blocks in. All new in the front then just left the old crap in the back

Man I love that your kids are always around, that's how I grew up around cars. I was always in the middle of whatever project was happening.
i wish i lived your childhood
Looks sick. You just can't beat that feeling when you lower the jack for the first time after fitting lowered suspension. Great job mate. 👍🇬🇧
Caleb: "a method i do not endorse"
Me (5 sec later): *plops down 2 pieces of spring*
# ØMEME 😂😂😂that what I was thinking too
LOL! you can see the grinder with the cut off wheel right there also!

@@Prxpagandalf In Sweden, that's how most teens lower their cars!
That strut to coil over conversion was cool

Royal Dub that’s actually a daarn good idea
@@daviddevos9444 great tip. mine were full of sand when i tried to re-adjust haha
You can also get coilover bags, as in zip over - not the air variety - bag gets filthy but threads stay clean.
Genius! It's so difficult to re adjust mine after catching to many speed bumps 😅😅
Royal Dub I thought I’d do pipe thread myself
😂😂😂😂 Heavy duty undie cleaner.
I’ve got back pain and I laughed out loud. Causing my pain to get worse. 😂😂😂
Man this gave so much motivation to work on my car 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I admire the patiences you have with your kids. Not everyone has that👍🏻
Yup that's me that's why I haven't worked on my ride lol
Caleb's enthusiasm, and frugal builds really makes this channel for me.
Really enjoy the channel love the budget builds and the kids playing in the back ground!
Damn, life is so good and easy with all the necessary tools. I envy your garage haha
I love it how u cut the spring you must have some big balls
I wish you would wear safety glasses when using a grinder. Love the work by the way
the children are watching!
Hhhmm...you...cut..the..spring...to... remove..the spring 🤣 I can tell you made first part on Saturday it was super windy down here in Mississippi
Sick bro but still should do 13×6 in the front and 13×7 in the rear you'll get a lot lower
Ground controls and Kong’s are OG dude! I had that set up on my old Integra and CRX back in the day!
Finallyyyy YES
Hey BUDDY safety 1st!!!!!
😆 I'm just FECKN with ya
Like it!!
You have no idea how happy I am that you made your own coilovers. Now I know what to do to make my own for my 79 corolla.
Thank you !!!!
You and Chase have the dopest channel on TH-cam. Keep up the hard work
Man.. u are really talented.
I admire u more than the way admire those rich guys who own big garages.
I can't wait to see the final result of thad DOPE Corolla!
the front suspension came out great, they look like real aftermarket coilovers, nicely done
THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE ALWAYS WANTED SOMEONE TO MAKE! THANK YOU!

Ground Control are great folks, one of the very few that still make suspension for the Contour platform.
Love it!
Dude wear some safety glasses when grinding and even cleaning parts !
You'll usually be okay cleaning (although you should still wear them) but 100% wear when grinding!

Take care man that wheel is a little dangerous. Love you from Palestine 😍🇵🇸
Awesome video, are painting the inner fender liners? Do you have a render of how you want it once complete ?
Heavy Duty Undie Cleaner ... that needs to be a t-shirt!
This is gonna be sick!
All I gotta say is love the channel and the videos and Man U living the dream being able to build a car and moving forward with your career and family it’s awesome to see
You are a super underrated youtuber love your vids
Not going to show you the way I’m going to do it!!
With the cutoff grinder next to it. Haha. Perfect.
What brand of heavy duty undy cleaner is the safest for your under carriage? 😆
Front suspension *high performance adjustable coilovers* rear suspension *leaf springs*
I’m liking the build. I hope we can see it running like a champ soon
Looks awsome ready to see the end results
Question though. Shouldn't you put a nylon washer under on the inside of the old body before you screw the cap on?
Cool build! hey question regarding the Koni shocks, what model are they? thanks
Please wear safety glasses when you use a grinder
I need to get some 'heavy duty undie cleaner'.
Looks sick but i really dont trust aluminium lowering blocks.
You forgot do do a word of the day so ill make my own - PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER
You should check out Build Create wide bodied brat. The way he did the brat I think would be a great way to wide body the carolla.
That beginning should totally be your intro for all your vids
Can't wait to see when it's finished 👊😀
19:38 the moment you realize your neck is shot from supporting your head laying on the ground
Hi mate I'll probs do this to my corolla, can you tell me what koni shocks you brought please and a link for the coilover kit

rcagarage.com/shop/suspension/shocks-and-struts/koni-sport-yellow-shock-83-87-toyota-corolla-all-models-rwd-ae86-front-86-1991sport/
Both links to shocks and springs I'm doing the same to my wagon next week
Also forgot my Gramps suggested to put transmission fluid back into where the shock goes. If you notice the shock housing has fluid at first but yes both should work just alittle more
Very helpful mate thank you!
dang, that looks hot. can't wait til it's done.
clinched fenders from instagram would look really good on this car, you might get a sponsorship with them!
A bosozoku type of wide body on this car would look pretty sick
Well done Caleb, this is really awesome.
I will be so grateful if you can advise me on how to lift the front of my Peugeot 307.
That's looking sick...
So I’m looking at budget coil overs and the 2 I’ve come down to are TEIN street basis Z and TruHart street plus any recommendations?
O no, the old spring ‘snapped’ in half 👌
Looks awesome!!
love ur vids dude
Nice job man! Love from germany ♡
Bruhh...... get you some eye protection. Had me in cringe when you broke out that wire wheel. Love how the build is coming, can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep it goin!!!
Is it just me or would that thing be sick with a moon roof? also you where my inspiration to start a channel:)
Ad a tube spacer under the strut insert or she’s gone be loose goosie jumpin in your shock housing. The top nut should be tightening everything up
The CLAPPED corolla looking awesome!
When he pointed the end of that coilspring at his face in the into i shuddered.
Pretty much what I did on mine. But I used strut cartridges from 91-98 corolla and shortened my strut housings. Almost made it too low. Wish I could share pics with you.
Love the videos, great to see a build on an old wagon. Love that you involve your kidscin the vids. I just wish you would wear saefty glasses when grinding and using the wire wheel, you only get one set of eyes man.
woohoo Caleb! Ben- sw florida
Oh yeah! That looks good.
Nicely done sir! No word at the end of the episode????
6:41 had my dying!!!!
Looks mean man....well done👌
cool man. its really nice work.
Awesome car. I had heaps of them 20 years ago. I used E25 leaf springs in the back of my E30 sedan to lower it.
This thing need a custom wide body like an audi. Btw This is my dream car (ofc with wide body)
audi hahahaha all europe worst shit car ,today LADA because lada russian factory end audio take lada shit car title.
Matti Virta bro u are so fucking russian it hurts.
Well I did catch the magic word so ill make my own.......
MEAN MACHINE
DIDN'T
What would you charge to make them coil overs ?
keep up the good work !
noice
I’d leave them for a while on the cars weight because they will seat while there on the car 👍🏻
Great job!
Man, u look like a younger tony stark from tge comics 😂
This week's word of the video 'undiecleaner'
Most truck shops that build driveshafts and such can custom make you u-bolts. I would highly advise getting some that are the right size because the ones you have in there now are an accident waiting to happen.
Dude, at 8:30 or so, you used a wire wheel without eye protection, start practising basic safety equipment :P
otherwise, great video as always
This so makes me want to build a old car now!
Surprised you didn't go with a steel threaded coilover sleeve kit. The advantage with them is you can weld them to the strut sleeve rather than relying on rubber O rings to stop the rattling.
Also, I didn't see you refill the sleeve with oil/trans fluid to help with heat dispersion, was there a reason for that?
I do not endorse this*
Next scene=cut springs
🔥👌
Did I just hear that the fender flares are "on the way"? Not custom this time? Still a cool little wagon. Looks good!
Sick m8! 🔥🔥🔥
Greetings from Germany ✌️✌️
Damn i miss all of my old toys. Custom chopping is the only way. I never did any quality work like this though. Great job! So many cars none for more than $300 now in my searching most run around 15k...to only do again........
I think I had the e36 top hats on my old Corola and they fit fine
Your garage is looking sharp
17:36 thats what I always say, giggidy
Why would you even dislike the video😂😂?
The Toyota would have drum brakes correct? Also fantastic build so far can’t wait to see the end results!!!
That's amazing more
Needs smaller tires so you can drop it lower. Dont forget the springs will settle some so you might not need to drop them much to match the rear.
Hey bud. Just wondering why you didnt put rear shocks and new leaf springs in when you put the lowering blocks in. All new in the front then just left the old crap in the back
