Watching you working on a car with a Leatherman is way too amusing for me; had to let you know.
@@NeverMetTheGuy yeah, they tackled a pretty big job for such a thinly equipped garage, good on them though!
(Personally I think I would have just cut half the outside skin of the door off with an angle grinder to get access to the lock).
What subscription format benefits you guys the most? I joined here on TH-cam but if Paetron will work better for you guys I can switch to that.
Are you guys going to poliah that orange peal effect that the clear coat leaves?
Specially visible on the bonnnet?
I find that the most challenging part of repainting something
Hey, send you a link to a Dodge Challenger 1970 in purple , fu**** up but restorable on your business-Email.
"and I uncovered a bullet hole..." I mean, what did you expect when buying a car straight outta Compton?
But you didn’t find the bullet? I guess somebody didn’t have a good enough day to not have to use his AK.
@@Activated_Complex he got distracted by a call from a girl he wanted to dig out.
100 miles and runnin
I like how you broke this project up into different sections not chronologically but by topic. It keeps it shorter and interesting.
It's an approach taken in many areas. Just in the Star Citizen project for example they not only structured the web site in such layers - first for newbies and then you can switch to in-depth mode later, but also their video documentation of the game development with brief summary videos and then detailed livestream interviews for the more devoted.
Wow! This is totally different from the other rebuild channels on TH-cam. Instead of show car perfection, this 'good enough' target is nice.
C-Milk's 差不多 t-shirt should make a cameo in one of your videos :)
Also, I hope some of the car sites and youtube channels I follow will take notice of your channel too. They way you explain how you attacked each problem you encountered rather than glossing over it as well as detailing what you used and where you got it was great too.
Considering I'm not even interested in cars, that was very interesting
I'm not interested in this much work. But I like cars and this is a very interesting video.
I have received many prizes for my cars and this was pretty painful to watch.
Kgb - so dont.
@@richardvass1462 same
Honestly, this is why I subscribed. I've always wanted to learn how to do shit like this but I've never had someone willing to teach me.
Welcome aboard
@@WorthlessWhips thanks! love your other journeys, this one should be just as awesome. can't wait for the next video.
Me too! I always have had a fascination with cars but with a lack of parents in the know how (and relatives who refuse to teach me because fixing cars is "dangerous for a GORL") So here I am.
It's hard to find a good teacher. Nice to be able to pick your brain just by viewing the videos, Winston and C-Milk! Great job guys! Love the new channel concept!!!!
Reminds me of what wheeler dealers used to be, cheap basic and simple work with enjoyable hosts. Looking forward to more of this guys!
I had the same reaction
great video lads, im a fully qualified truck mechanic in australia and even for me this was great to watch and informative. :) keep them coming.
Pro tip: for stuck doors, the best path to the latch mechanism is usually cutting a hole through the outside door skin.
Quality content, hope it gathers more audience outside ADV.
I'm just commenting to boost your engagement metrics. But great video and white has got to be the best color for the first gen MR2.
I'm happy you guys made this channel. I love this.i did something like this for myself. I bought a 2006 V6 mustang for 4,500 and my friend bought a 2007 V8 for 6,800. I put 1500 into mine and came out with 60 more HP and almost 250lbs lighter.
If you put a turbo on it make sure to be easy on gas tiil it is warmed up to operating temperature and let it run a minute or two in idle before shutting down the engine when it's hot. And change the oil religiously of course.
@@richardvass1462 I'm probably going to keep it naturally aspirated. After 350Hp the V6 needs reinforcing with forged internals or your gonna have a bad time.
Never ever thought I'd watch a car repair video. Now I've watched two! Lol and enjoyed them. Winston you are a very talented guy. AND how's the baby? :)
Seemed much more simple in the first episode, wasn't expecting it was this damaged. Good work guys.
I just love watching things that have been damaged through neglect, accident, or age restored. I don't even care to much about cars but I was glued the full 21 minutes.
You did a great job on the bodywork Winston!
As someone who does collision repair for a living, you seemed to do a pretty damn good job. Only thing I’d do for next time I’d do a skim coat of body filler on the guard and sand it to suit the flow of the panel. You can metal finish it but it’s much harder to get 100%.
You guys did one hell of a job restoring this ride. Not just for a first time out, at least on camera. But that does make it all the more impressive. Great way to start the series. I like your choice of format, as well, with the nitty gritty details available in a supplemental video.
Wow, I can really appreciate the effort you guys put into this car! Yes, I agree body work seams more difficult than mechanical work, but you make it seam possible. I really like the new venture!
"If you've ever worked with Lego"... very BIG lego! my youngest son and I worked on a '64 Chevy truck, at the high school auto shop, after hours. Luckily, we found a guy with TWO '64 Chevys who sold us a door. Spent many hours doing father-son car projects: after the Chevy, a '68 Galaxie, and later an '83 Corolla and a early 90's Integra... FUN!!!
You should make a
Worthless Whips numberplate cover for the vids....or resell :)
I love that this video shows the "small garage" way to do things. Most car shows involve guys with hangars full of tools and equipment. You are showing what is possible for the everyman and I really enjoy that. I also enjoy that you explain some pretty intricate stuff in only 20 minutes. I was never bored and I never felt you were explaining things too fast. It is a good pace to convey the information without losing the audience or boring the audience. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Excited for more!
You made me fall in love with the MR2, even checking out listings for it in my area currently. Damn you guys and your well made videos!
Hello guys. Nice :)
You filmed / edited in the same way as for ADV, maybe even with a faster rate. Well, it's okay from your point of view, but It seems to me that there would be a better way to do with these technical subjects: by stopping at greater length on certain important details, and slowing down the rhythm of editing (just a little bit). Three episodes of twenty minutes is very short for such a project. My reference (like many I think) is the Tavarish channel : he found a rhythm perfectly suited to YT.
Anyway : great respect to you. Bravo (from France).
I've wanted to do a car rebuild for a long time now. Tried to find out on youtube how to do it but none of them really went into enough depth for an amateur to understand. I really dig this new content, looking forward to more.
Mr. Educator
Didn't know much about China and had NO clue how to take a fender off and do body work. You've taught a lot.
7:01 "So, once I was done playing with my dolly..." words I never expected to hear from winston lol
In America, a router is very different from a grinder. A router has a bit in the middle that's used to cut portions out from the middle of a sheet. We used them all the time when I worked in carpentry to cut holes for windows out of the plywood we used to sheath the outside walls.
Ingenious you named this channel Worthless Whips as that's exactly what it is.
I love this show. I'm sold. Please stay in the U.S. forever.
Having the space and tools is a god send for working on cars.
Dude this is awesome. It’s entertaining and I’m learning something at the same time. Dare I say I actually enjoy this more than the recent China content
When I saw that "Jack up the car" and that honest, considerate instructions to doing that were actually included, I knew to click that subscribe button. I miss my AW11s so much. One day soon I'll be de-rusting another one.
Truthful & meticulous. Not surprised.
As one who has done his fair share of bodywork, I am really happy to hear that you saved the Bondo work for another video. And yes, cancer has taken a few cars of mine, including a 1980 BMW 323i...😣
Great episode. Almost makes me feel like I can do it myself! Almost... I'm flat broke and have no where to work on a car lol.
Wow. I think you're the first english spoken channel who uses clear
coat. I appreciate that. May all the others not use it continue botching
around with their projects.
Awesome job with this video. You do the work just like I do - cheap and not in a hurry. Get it done right and you'll never have to do it again. Thanks for this channel, it is going to be very helpful for me. No matter how much you know about cars, you can pick up good tips.
I've seen countless channels on TH-cam with this content and you've definitely differentiated yourselves nicely. This is the optimum format: Without unnecessary info and detailed with what's necessary.
Appreciate that my man
I'm glad you're going to make these in depth videos breaking down each part of the rebuild process. I knew there was a lot that was left out in the original episode.
ugh, so good. I might have to just do Patreon because of how much I love this.
EDIT: done
right, same.
Just when i think you two cant get any cooler you start a car channel!! Haha you guys rock keep doing what you love!!
I had no idea about welding and had some bodywork to do for inspection. Got me a Migwelder for about 200 bucks off of amazon, totally worth it. Didn't took that much practice and youtubetutorials to get usable results. Saved me quite some money and is way better than bondoing everything up.
This is kinda what Wheeler Dealers should have been. Nice work guys!
Thank you for making these videos. I've had my parents 2010 Honda Civic for about a year now and I went through learning a lot myself as a new driver on all the different mechanics and quick fixes on a car (lights, ect.). I unfortunately don't have a garage since I live in an apartment. But seeing your work gives me a greater appreciation and understanding of everything that goes into a car. It would be nice if this were more of a requirement in high school curriculum to do these types of repairs. In either case, thanks for this content. Great job!
I love the new channel Winston! I hope America is being good to you! Very much looking forward to this channels future videos.
I really appreciate the extra effort to be educational.
This is so good, some of the stuff I am now doing with my car...
I like to drive cars. It might be daunting at first, but it's easier than it looks. Anybody can do it.
Dude, I’m already in love with this channel.
The amount of experience you guys accumulated over the years really is shining through. It's really impressive quality from the narration to the footage to the information. It would be cool to have like a uploadschedule like worthless whips will upload a new episode every thursday or something. So you can say at the end we see you guys next thursday when Winston teaches you about bondo... subconsciously implanting the plan to watch the next episode on thursday.
Wet sanding is key to rattlecan paint jobs, sometimes I will even sand the primer
you should always sand primer 400 grit wet & dry paper
Wow you guys turned that junker into a car anyone would be proud to own! This new channel rocks!
4:49 "at this point you may be tempted to throw the door off a cliff or throw it into the sea" Lmao that is exactly how I would be feeling.
I'm not a car guy and have almost zero car mechanical skills... but that video was interesting! I learned a lot
Normally this isnt the type of stuff Im too interested in, however you guy's approach makes it very appealing for someone like myself who has either very little or no experience give it a try on a project, and not feel completely clueless. Thanks.
i'm surprised how you guys can manage so many TH-cam channels : ) !
Big Like to all of you !
A great episode and a great result from a practical garage mechanic. I was delighted to see how closely your approach to repair and body work followed my own. Yes, it's a dirty and frustrating business at times, but if you enjoy doing your own work and take a full measure of satisfaction from doing it, you will like these videos. W
this channel has given me a second wind regarding work on my r31 nissan skyline, thanks winston and cmilk!
Finally great idea for a new channel! I have a 92 Toyota Celica GT that i'm putting all the All Trac stuff on can't wait to see all the cars!
Wow hey guys ive been a fan for 3 years now and I'm loving the new channel. Stay awesome guys i find you both relatable and entertaining
That tire under the frame of the car would have saved me scrapping one of the cars I did. Yes it was on jack stands.....but it fell off the stands when I was jacking the engine back into place and dropped the car.
Very glad I wasn't at all under the car because it came down amazingly FAST.
Dead man's land for anybody under a falling car.
Very nice and interesting, thank you:)
I love cars but have no idea how to work on them, really appreciate this new channel
yes, I will enjoy the new Winston&C-Milk channel, thank you!
Good to see you moving on
AW11s are rust magnets! The inner panel on the rear quarter is probably one of the worst places. With hot and cold cycles creating condensation in there, the sound deadening gets damp and it justs ends up rotting away from the inside out. I've only taken angle grinders out to use on two cars in my life and both were AW11s trying to salvage bits of metal off slightly less rusty ones from junkyards.
Yeah, luckily ours was fine there, you'll see in the engine episode as I get under the car and in the engine bay a lot
Winston, you have a special knack at combing through a complicated/scary situation & presenting it in a very simple and clear manner. That’s what I like the most about your China videos. Glad to see, the same skills have definitely transfer here & you did such a great job w it. I know zilch about mechanics or cars, but after watching this video, I feel that I am ready to open my own salvage & rebuild business. You make it look so easy & so fun. Can’t wait to see the videos on bundle work & engine rebuilt.
I can see you guys r definitely gonna pick up a lot more new fans w this new niche direction you are going, even though your current audience r probably just as happy if you teach them simple things like how to fix that broken turning signal cover on their Mercedes so the dealers/mechanics won’t give them another $1000 ripoff.
Great choice for your debut show, The Mk1 mr2 is one of those models that seems to age like a good wine. It just works well on so many levels, too bad Toyota only knows how to emblem engineer their performance cars now.
Sweat, time, effort and swearing lol!
I think it's mostly the swearing part that gets the job done, and lots of it!
Great vid!
EP2 and I already love this channel! as I said on your channel Winston, I drive and own two daewoos. lovely and cheap cars that offer enough comfort. I also like to fix as much as I can myself. ... and just became patron.
Cool guys did not know about your new channel till now.
This should be a lot better then the other TH-cam channels that doesn't seem to know how to turn a wrench.
very well done video! I think you really nailed the right amount of detail to learn without getting bored with too much detail. also very happy to see you linked the tools you used.
Any chance future content will include motorbikes?
Yes
holy shit. the effort in restoring the car is priceless! I would be sad too if this car is sold :(
I hope your Amazon links are affiliate links. Those pennies add up.
The Fentanyl shirt is awesome.
I also like the level of detail that you show...tons of work! Thanks for sharing!!!
Winston the wizard of repairs
Thanks for all the hard work and the video shoots! Now, I'm more confident in painting my quarter panel that I bought to replace the existing one on my CR-V that was wrecked by my wife before the snow set in here in Toronto :)
Damn it, this cannel deserves a lot more views and subscribers!
I find creaming coating my car intimidating and you guys did body work congrats !
Maybe make a video on ceramic coating ?
I love it how you say in the beginning body work is easy and then proceed to go through whole video fighting parts and having problems, lol. The truth is - body work is not easy at all. It requires proper skills in everything from metal twisting, to bondoing, to paint prep, actual paint, etc. This is why body shops are still in business. I've done my own body work before but I would only do it if I don't really care what it looks like after. When it comes to a car I care about, I'd rather leave it to the professionals because they can do a much better job vast majority of the time.
This was my first car... a 1988 MR2. Thanks for the video Winston!
I wanted to see Winston working on this in his suit lol. Love this new channel. Great name, great content.
I was hit twice in twice in 2019 both on the front passenger side in my Hyundai 2007 Tucson. I was going to use the settlement to get it repaired they want around 2,200$ for a door and a fender. There hasn't been anything I couldn't fix on my car thus far but I for some reason I was afraid of body work. Thanks for giving me the confidence to do it myself!
In the US, I usually hear people say "angle grinder".
In the UK too.
The big petrol ones often get called "Paddy's moped" on-site (but don't tell anyone, the political correctness brigade will be after me!).
Never heard them called routers but there is a woodworking power tool called "router" that is used for finishing edges. He must have gotten the two confused.
@@wmtrader Yep I've always heard "angle grinder" or maybe "air grinder" if it's air powered.
@@wmtrader they both spin eh? :v
in germany we call them "flex"
Can I offer a piece of advice when doing your paint work? Flatten the primer with 320 grit followed by 500-600 grit. This will remove that grainy texture you commented on after laying your base coat. Sanding the base coat will generally compromise the sheen of the finished job. Most people stick to 5-6 coats of 1K clear followed by a wet sand using 2K grit (1K clear is a lot more health friendly if you don't have a proper mask - isocyanates can kill). If you follow that up with a cut and polish using a DA polisher I promise you will be even more pleased with the results. Keep up the good work guys.
Winston i think that this is what you should of been doing ages ago... cheers to you guys
Very nicely done. Congratulations on your new channel. I couldn't help but think how far you guys have come since I first discovered your channel. Success breeds success and you guys are certainly continuing to succeed. I admire your spirit and dedication. I'm looking forward to many more years of following your content.
Great enunciation and diction on the voice-over. Really made it easy to follow!
Winston you got mad skills bro.
I actually loved this! keep it up!
Happy to see this project taking off!
What can i say... You are a good presenter :D ill subscribe here as well. I have never had an interest in cars just the joys of driving one. You are now my encyclopedia for cars. Hurry up and fill up the library!
Hey Winston! You could try a wirewheel on an angle grinder if you want to really effectively remove paint, 'bondo' or other gunk. Worked great for me when I was repairing my golf. Removes rust pretty well too. The wheel I used was cup-formed.
So when are the Supras, GTRs, & Evos coming? 👀
Once they can be had for ~$1000. 😉
Dowlphwin evo and supra and gt/gtt at this price actually happens sometimes usually a un finished project
I'm living in Okinawa, so I'm very much looking forward to the Bondo episode. Rust is like the plague out here.
The positive message is the "you can do it" attitude. That's very good. As for the work on that car and what folks ended up buying, there's a whole other story there. Caveat emptor. Btw, I think that seller would have taken about $800 to move on. Good luck with the channel. High entertainment value, for sure. Oh, and the thoughtful voice over is pretty good, too.
You guys are awesome. Love both your channels and this is the best TH-cam collaboration.
Once again, I'm not a car guy. However, y'all know how to entertain and this video was nothing short of entertaining. It honestly seemed a lot shorter than 20 minutes
I hope you guys and your families are enjoying your stay in America so far. If you have any disagreements with the way the government is, or whatever, feel free to shout it to the world. You won't be labeled a dissident 😂
