So i get asked on a daily basis when is the ATC project going to be finished? I think this post will answer all of your questions - th-cam.com/users/postUgzESNZREfL30xjQP3F4AaABCQ
I was thinking about painting my own calipers one day. But since I won't rebuild them, most parts would stay on. Would you know how well the seals/other non-metal parts of the caliper fair in an oven at 400F for 30 minutes?
This is top notch video making. Great lighting, camera angles, editing, use of fast motion, and overall length. It would be good to have a brief explanation of the products used, such as that white powder. Rather than see a hand taking the bottle from the shelf, maybe show the bottle label, to give a better idea what's happening to the bolts. One of the best restoration videos I have ever seen.
@@TheUb3rN00b wait, what ? He’s already covered plating ? Is it patreon only ? I’ve been waiting for ages , he’s teased us with it once or twice but...
3k views on a professional restoration, and someone has already given you a thumbs down. They must've really been looking forward to the suspension rebuild.
@@RRCRestoration I'm rebuilding my GF8 and gobsmacked as how Subaru don't have parts and gaskets for this car anymore?...…where are you getting your parts from ?
Mmm, shiny! You have already done 2 or 3 caliper resto vids, but it still doesn't get old. I'm pretty sure if you did a video on restoring a toilet brush I'd still find it fascinating. Superb job as ever sir and thanks for sharing it with us.
Always nice to see you in the comment section :) I think this will probably be my last set of calipers i restore on here for a while as it is getting just a tad repetitive, dont want you all thinking im a one trick pony now do i ;) lol... maybe i should restore something totally odd ball like a toilet brush just to mix things up a little haha
Thank you for this video -- attempting the very same job soon, upgrading to 2 pot rears with a used set to rebuild. Fronts are fine for now, will go 4 pot when needed. Super inspiring 👍👍👍

Absolutely blown away by how good they turned out! When I see the state of them to begin with I thought they wouldn’t be able to be used! Fantastic video, looking forward to the next one!
Good tip for when you decide to install them and bleed the brakes. After bleeding the brakes, tighten the bleed valve and next is (very important but often forgotten) to blow out any left over brake fluid inside the bleed nipple. Do this by using some compressed air, don’t forget to hold a rag or cloth above it so it doesn’t spray all over the place ;). It’s a good tip because if the brake fluid stays in the nipple and you cap it off afterwards with the rubber cap, it’s going to be able to absorb a bit of moisture from the air etc. And that will eventually corrode the bleeding nipple which can lead to not being able to crack the bleed nipple or even break it, if you understand what I’m trying to say :) It’s a tip I got from my oldest collegue at work (I’m a motorcycle mechanic). Otherwise as always loved the video and keep up this kind of work man, it really is a pleasure to watch!
Hi RRC Sir , made a nice job of those, you probably know about Goodridge speed bleeders one way check valve in them, crack one open & just keep pumping the brake pedal, great things & not to expensive, don't need a second person to help, hope your well, ATB Wayne.....
Hi Wayne, always nice to see you. I have seen them but never had any experience with them might actually get a set to try them out as it would be very handy not needing help to bleed the brakes.
My son put me onto your channel, and I love it, am in the process of restoring my bugeye WRX UK 300 right now and it's great to watch how your doing your classic, look forward too the rest 😉👍
Brave title! The word perfect in TH-cam land certainly gets the internet police and scrutineers going but that was indeed a perfect restoration. Well done.
Aye, you nearly had me shouting at the screen there, with the old seals and pistons, then I remembered who I was watching! As ever, you are a craftsman. Beautiful job. Take care. Cheers, Norm.
Really good to see Bolts going back clean, coated, greased and lock tighted. Makes me cringe when I see people rustore vehicles putting on new parts without cleaning the bolts (opportunity to visually inspect too).
Been really enjoying your videos! I've got an 04 WRX myself and watching your videos I get both inspired and super depressed at the same time, because I don't have anywhere near the skill or tools/space to do the same amazing work you do, still, really enjoyable to watch! Thanks for sharing!
Great job, im in the middle of striping out and rebuilding my wrx myself! looking forward to seeing how the rear suspension and rear sub frame turns out 👍👍
Hey RRC, clicking your fingers while wearing nitrile gloves is a pretty neat trick (at time 19:07). Love your imaginative camera angles and transitions. Keep up the good work.
Every time I get your notification, I drool a little. Love the attention to details. I find your videos soothing and great. keep the good work, my friend.
Fantastic. Really enjoyable and informative. Would it be possible when you're painting to show a little bit at normal speed? So we can see how fast or slow to move the paint gun around the project? I'm restoring the calipers from my motor bike soon and this was brilliant. 👍
I just finished dismantling, cleaning, painting, and rebuilding the same calipers from a 2006 Subaru WRX and was very pleased with myself, but then I saw your videos and the bubble burst. Beautiful job. One question: Where did you find kits with correct sized o-rings between the caliper halves? Here, in the U.S., Subaru does not supply them and the after-market kit I bought came with wrong-size o-rings. I ended up using the old ones.
Great job as always and good to see scetchy grinder making an appearance! I'd recommend investing in the m12 milwaukee angled die grinder and get all the roloc attachments via eBay, aliexpress etc.. For your kind of projects it would be a god send as it was for me doing similar jobs
Stunning restoration as always! Big thumbs up 👍. I’m gonna start the restoration of my NSR-R JC20, and your plating techniques seems to work like a dream, could you make an in-depth video of it? Greets from Belgium
I'm rebuilding the front calipers on an sv650s and I used the air trick to get the pistons out and they were a lot more violent and louder than that. Gave me a good scare lol.
Question: Its not really relevant nor a show stopper but why not fill the caliper with brake fluid using a syringe prior to inserting the bleeder nipple? Less effort to bleed the brakes when the times comes. Awesome job as always👍👍
Hi thanks for leaving a comment and its a very good tip although in this case it wouldnt really make a difference to the time spent bleeding as the brake lines are all new and empty but for doing when your lines are full absolutely great time and energy saving tip.
Im sure youre already aware but youll need either adaptors or later model GD wrx hubs to bolt those on. They have a different mount spacing compared to the single piston rear calipers
Hi, Yeah i know about the adaptors i have a pair ordered ;) Thanks for the comment though as that would be very helpful info if i hadn't already done my homework lol
Great work, as usual. Keep up the process and we'll keep liking and hitting the thumbs up. Either rebuild your bench grinder, or get another one to rebuild. ;)
Thank you so much really glad you are enjoying my videos :) I wont restore the bench grinder till it gives up the ghost it just keeps on going ang going at this point its like a long term experiment im running on it lol
Awesome as usual! Been debating going 4/2 pots for so long on my Bugeye. I wanted to do Cadillac fronts but there is something special about red 4/2 pots. I think I might need to just buy some now that I see you finish these.
Good to see Sketchy back in action. Did you media blast the inside of the caliper pots as well to get rid of the corosion? Another shout for a good look at how to zinc plate properly, I'm about to get a set up and thinking of going for black passivate.

You can keep the sandblasting segments as long as you want, it's so satisfying to watch.

Rather than see a hand taking the bottle from the shelf, maybe show the bottle label, to give a better idea what's happening to the bolts. One of the best restoration videos I have ever seen.
The white powder is "DEOX C" and he has previously explained the process of replating in previous videos in this series.
@@TheUb3rN00b wait, what ? He’s already covered plating ? Is it patreon only ? I’ve been waiting for ages , he’s teased us with it once or twice but...
It looks the same as caustic soda. The electrolysis is cool too!

I literally said "wait, hold up" as you grabbed the old crust piston and oring 😂
Me too.... "NOOOO"... ahh, he was just joking.
@@georgegrierson I knew he was joking, but it didn't stop feelings of disbelief and anger inside me! lol

Thank you for posting. I have been stuck watching crappy "restoration" videos for a while now. Perfect job again, as it always is with you.
I Very nearly cried when you nearly put the old pistons and seals in. brilliant
Haha you know i cant resist teasing you guys a little ;) Glad you enjoyed the video.

Hi, thanks for the tip ill be sure to give that a go when i bleed the brakes up :)
i started watching you when i found the honda cub you did.. and now a WRX. and one of the best looking ones around.
Dont forget about the Honda TL and the Ducati 600ss restorations i did too ;)
@@RRCRestoration i wait every week for something.. still waiting on the Honda Atc.
Lovely job. Glad you went for red, everyone knows red calipers are worth an extra 10 bhp!
thank you :) Is that 10bhp for the full set or 10 per caliper? just so know what to add to my total when i hit the dyno ;) haha
Haha it's your car, you decide!, 😆
Very satisfying to watch. I can watch it over and over again and still be amazed. Great work.

Outstanding restoration.
One question, what did the vinyl cutter cut? Is the white sticky material heat resistant? Just curious. Thanks.

Awesome! Thank you glad you are enjoying the project. Good luck with your bugeye :)
A lot of time and patience went into that prep work to achieve stunning results. Nice one

you are a great man good job
Was a bit scared the second you grabbed that crusty old ring, good man you are.
keep it up!
Haha i cant resist a little wind up now and again ;) Glad you enjoyed it
I didn’t think so , I love watching you videos can’t wait for the next one
Thank you so much, working on the next one as we speak :)

Thank you so much really glad you enjoy my videos, always nice to hear from a fellow Subaru owner :)
I is always nice to see a master craftsman doing a bang up job, WELL DONE 👍
Thank you so much :)
Great job, im in the middle of striping out and rebuilding my wrx myself! looking forward to seeing how the rear suspension and rear sub frame turns out 👍👍
Next project: sketchy bench grinder restoration!
Like this to disapprove ;)
Add the vice to the mix as well!
very cool uncle. the work is relaxed but with satisfying results. plus a place that is always clean so it is pleasing to the eye.from indonesia
Thank you very much :)
Hey RRC, clicking your fingers while wearing nitrile gloves is a pretty neat trick (at time 19:07).
Love your imaginative camera angles and transitions.
Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great job! To protect these even longer from that great paint job you should have your brakes coated in ceramic pro
Always love watching you make and apply new decals man, Ill never get sick of it
I love that I've never seen you break off a bolt. I'm jealous. lol
Loving the Subaru restoration! Would love to see your zinc plating process in more detail you get some amazing results!
Perfect! As always.its every smal detail as do it perfect result..
Thank you so much 😀
looks better then brand new which is no surprise considering I'm watching your video great work 👍
Thank you very much, Glad you enjoyed it :)
Very good Job mate ! I did the same to my BMW caliper a few month before.
Every time I get your notification, I drool a little. Love the attention to details. I find your videos soothing and great. keep the good work, my friend.
Thank you very much! :)
Brilliant 👏 love to watch you work. Its the highest of quality workmanship. Proper job!!!!
perfect way to end this crappy week XD
Absolutely stunning result! You are a man of very many talents!
Thank you very much! :)
Love the videos. Gives me confidence because I’m gonna be doing the exact same thing to my Subaru soon
Fantastic. Really enjoyable and informative. Would it be possible when you're painting to show a little bit at normal speed? So we can see how fast or slow to move the paint gun around the project? I'm restoring the calipers from my motor bike soon and this was brilliant. 👍

At what force do you tighten up those 4 bolts holding the two halves together?
I have to get my parts from overseas.....yours look like they washed up on the beach. :)
Another splendid rescue.
Haha you'd defo think so with he amount of corrosion and silt i found inside them, Glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@RRCRestoration you certainly seem to have a salt lover up there on the country councils road team!
Oh man you got me. Made me sit up in my chair. Nice work, they came out great!
Haha glad you enjoyed my little joke ;) Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow
you’re a very talented Craftsman
Great job as always and good to see scetchy grinder making an appearance! I'd recommend investing in the m12 milwaukee angled die grinder and get all the roloc attachments via eBay, aliexpress etc.. For your kind of projects it would be a god send as it was for me doing similar jobs
I'll look into that thanks for the tip always love checking out new tools :)
Bloody good job. Fantastic finished product.
So relieved that Sketchy B.G. is still going strong!
I wanna see it restored lol
Yup still going strong with no signs of stopping, Actually love the fact that it keeps soldiering on year after year :)
As always, great job. Order, clean and professional approach. Your videos are a pleasure to watch. Greetings.
Thank you very much! :)
Love watching this craftsmanship, every video perfectly done
Thank you so much :)
Stunning restoration as always! Big thumbs up 👍. I’m gonna start the restoration of my NSR-R JC20, and your plating techniques seems to work like a dream, could you make an in-depth video of it? Greets from Belgium
Let's "crack on" is my new favorite phrase!👍
Careful you don’t say crack one off 🤔🤦🏼♂️
It's the british version of "go ahead"
Like the "seeyouagainsoon" in the end, also! :-D
New sub here... I'm a Subi fan boy... good to see you restore a nice Subi. You have great attention to detail! Well done, keep it up
Thanks for the sub it means a lot :) Really glad you are enjoying the videos too.
As usual brilliant mate!! Looking forward to watching the rest of the series!!
I'm happy watching this beautiful work. Against, congratulations.
Thank you so much 😀
wow, what a good looking set of calipers haha. Thanks for the upload! I can't wait till you upload you getting on that rear-end haha. cheers mate
That subaru is going to be mint when you’re finished
Fingers crossed :)
Excellent video as always! I never get tired of watching you work! Keep it up, dude! 🤘
Thank you very much :)
always a joy to watch you work my freind
Thank you! Cheers! :)
Said it before but you really do make great Resto videos
I appreciate that! :)
Hello, congratulations on these wonderful videos. Can you explain the process of treating screws after soaking in deox C, please.
What a transformation - awesome work 👍🏽🏴
Thank you! Cheers! :)
I think the sketchy bench grinder can wait a little bit to get restored ! Loving the subie vids 😄👍🏽
My thoughts exactly ;)
I'm rebuilding the front calipers on an sv650s and I used the air trick to get the pistons out and they were a lot more violent and louder than that. Gave me a good scare lol.
Brilliant job mate. Too work! Love your channel and the WRX rebuild project. 👍
Awesome, thank you! :)
Restoration to better than new. Well done!
looks like straight out the factory but better..until next time,all the best stay safe bud............dougie
Nice to see you , Glad you enjoyed this episode :)

You’re welcome 😊
Love this channel 👏👏 genuine and informative 👌 ps we're you going to do a video on zinc plating process 😉👍
Great work, as usual. Keep up the process and we'll keep liking and hitting the thumbs up. Either rebuild your bench grinder, or get another one to rebuild. ;)

So much love you put on every restoration, every step looks beautiful, its just crazy :3
Great job loving the restauration process!
Impressive transformation as always, top quality work.
Thank you very much! nice to see you again :)
Is there a reason why they never show the torquing specs on the main bolts?? But anyways love the way they look! 👍
Great save on the brakes!
Absolutely stunning transformation, as usual a totally top job, 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much 😊 :)
Those rearcalipers came out great.
Thank you :)
@@RRCRestoration no problem and i am realy exited about the next WRX video or even better the next ATC video.
Great job on the brake calipers.
Glad you like them! :)
Awesome as usual! Been debating going 4/2 pots for so long on my Bugeye. I wanted to do Cadillac fronts but there is something special about red 4/2 pots. I think I might need to just buy some now that I see you finish these.
Amazing, detailed work as always! Looking forward to more!
Thank you! Cheers! :)
I wish I could take my Subaru with this guy
Good to see Sketchy back in action. Did you media blast the inside of the caliper pots as well to get rid of the corosion? Another shout for a good look at how to zinc plate properly, I'm about to get a set up and thinking of going for black passivate.
That's an amazing job you did 💪💪 but to be honest with you to go through all that trouble and not powder coat it.
Great vid again , going to get sand blasting cabinet. Great job👍
Thank you very much :)
Really nicely done! I had the distinct feeling of déja vu, though. Did you do a very similar brake caliper restoration some time ago? 🤔
Yes, for front side
Thank you, Yeah i done the front pair a while ago and these are the rear pair to match the fronts.
Never seen someone ratcheting this fast before
Good video. At least you didn't do what I did and put a tiny hole in the piston seal and wonder where the hell the brake fluid leak was coming from
Thank you :) oh no now thats annoying build at all up just to take it back apart :(
