    So how are you guys finding the narration in my videos? too much to little? Can you understand my accent OK or do i need to try harder to speak clearly? haha let me know down below it'd be much appreciated.

      @DeuceDevious 3 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      Your accent is fine. The narration is exactly where it needs to be. You explain the plan of attack, shut the hell up and do it, then come back when it's the next step. Literally the perfect balance.

    That needle scaler and compressor got a hell of a workout there!!! Needle scaler saves a ton of time though. I got mine well over 25 years ago and it paid for itself the first time I used it. I admire your tenacity. Most folks would've just junked that subframe and replaced it with how bad it was.

    @802Garage 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did the same job on a GC end of 2019 and wow what a load of work. My subframe and knuckles weren't salvageable though. So, I used a set along with some other rear end components and hardware I got in trade for a 30 rack of beer. Grinding and hammering the rust off the diff was a real pain as well. Yours was in much nicer shape than mine. The diff cover had corroded so badly it actually had a hole once the corrosion was removed. Even with the replacement knuckles I had to weld and build up the e-brake shoe backing points as they had some holes, then grind them flat again. I had to removed rust behind the backing plate, hammer it back down, and weld it so it wouldn't expand out again. The ABS sensors were an absolute terror to get out of the old knuckles, but they're so expensive so I tried to save them. Were I to do it all again on a restoration car I planned to keep forever, I'd likely rather buy a lot of new components instead. Especially given how much fits from the GD/GG cars. That said, my reasoning was similar to yours. Structurally sound bits and a car that would be driven hard and didn't need factory fresh. Plus it saves a ton of money. Agree with you on the hardware as well! People don't realize it would be quite a bit of money to replace all those nuts and bolts.

    • @RRCRestoration
      @RRCRestoration  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, Thanks for your comment sounds like you had a rough time salvaging your GC, like yourself when i dropped all the parts out i was thinking yup this is gonna be expensive but after a more thorough inspection amazingly all the components were still 100% structurally sound despite their appearance haha and your spot on about the hardware its not long in adding upto mental money thats why i always reuse if i can.

    • @802Garage
      @802Garage 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@RRCRestoration Definitely rough! Unfortunately the car itself is destined for scrap. Worst frame I have ever seen on a GC with very bad previous repairs as well. Rockers gone and crazy bad past quarter repairs as well. They didn't even bother to connect the wheel well to the outer metal. Put the new rear end in it just to have fun with it while it lasts, and I'll keep all the parts I restored when it goes. Bought the car for the turbo engine swap it had in it and a lot of upgrade parts! I just love Subaru. Thanks for replying and the awesome vid!

    Quick tip for anyone doing this sort of work themselves, from a Toyota restoration specialist across the water in Northern Ireland. Deox-C is amazing stuff, I would be lost without it. But I don't pay a premium for the logo on the bottle for large batches like this where you need a large quantity of it. Deox-C is little more than re-branded citric acid. I buy it in 25kg packs from online retailers at 1/4 the cost of what BH sell it for, and it's available in smaller quantities like 5kg as well. I'm not knocking BH at all, their products are all excellent. But restoring classic Japanese sports cars is expensive enough as it is, and saving a few pounds here and there can make all the difference.

    Nicely done. I am doing my truck and I removed about 20 pounds of rust just from the rear frame. That does not count for the cab where the rockers are mostly gone and part of the floor as well as the box sides. I would need a 500 to 700 gallon tank and rust remover to dip the frame so I am going to try a rust paint which seals the little rust that will be left and converts it to a phosphor compound that will not rust again. I do have a suggestion for you to improve the efficiency of the needle scaler. I have the same unit and what I did was to sharpen the needles to a dull taper and it was amazing how much better it works now. Looking forward to the next video.

    Must be the 27 Year Old Rusty... one.

    Living in Australia my whole life I didn't even know it was possible to get anything this bad.
    All of our subframes still have the factory powder coating. All that you have to do to get them to look new is to pressure wash them and use a bit of degreaser haha

      But Lanolin fixes any chance of steel going bad if applied regularly.
