Hopefully the frame shop doesn't screw me too hard lol. But being all stock and rebuilt with the exception of a rear swaybar and koni yellows it's gonna be well worth it.

    Man love how this channel has grown. Fun fact. Few months ago me and a buddy took my ranger with one them trailers on a 3 hour trip to get a mightymax your vids definitely showed me how to look for stuff like that small issues and stuff. Got it with no spark and no fuel but seen it was just a missing fuse and seen he was buying relays thinking thag was the issue (I have a little experience with them trucks lol) seen there was a set of barring so needed that speedo cable just a good amount of work seen he had a fuel pump for it. But he had most the parts it needed. But for 300 got the thing and towed it home. But the best part is with them smaller trucks you can make them fishtail pretty quick at 80-85 or so lol but they are horrible to back up with guess where it’s such a short wheel base

    I have a love for the little Honda and Toyota sports cars. This looks like a fun little project car and definitely a solid daily driver for someone who needs a fun point A to point B driver that doesn't need too much upkeep to keep things running. Thanks for the video Chris.
    I've got another generation of Grandkids learning the basics for car maintenance now, and they want a little project car for their first. (My dad made us buy our own cars and work on them before we could get a license.) At the time I thought he was being too hard on us but those first few years of being an adult mean that you don't have a whole lot of money but you tend to have plenty of time. I've gotten myself out of more than one jam and even though I definitely made mistakes, I learned to fix them, and once you've done something once the process becomes more intuitive as you go along.
    To anyone reading this, make mistakes, if you have to incredible hulk it, penetrating fluid and a drink (hopefully non alcoholic) are you best friends. Have patience and know that when you finally have those bolts off and a 10mm in the engine bay, your car will still keep chugging along. I bought one car that I couldn't find the source of the jingling even after I checked the suspension and engine. I crawled under the car again, thinking I might have to get it to a specialist mechanic when I took a test drive around the block and found a 10mm socket on the driveway. No more jingling and that car ended up being a capable little 4x4 for where we lived in the boonies.

    a full on engine swap with instructions would kick ass. I watched many videos of engine swappings without getting told what actually gets done. It would be very nice interesting and informative. and thanks for all your other videos they are so cool and I learnt many things and I am less scared of operating on my car.

    My brother and I currently own 3 Del Sol’s and we love them. We’ve learned a ton about them, and I’m so excited to see what you’ll do with yours. Mine was $500 with different problems than yours, but we’re kinda in the same boat. Our first Del sol ended up getting destroyed when an 18 wheeler came across the highway and hit my brother. He’s fine now, and the car makes a great parts car for our other cars. But for a few suggestions, swap the shifter for a short shifter when you do the shift bushings. They’re around $6 online and they’re great. You’ll have to pull the shifter anyway, so you may as well replace it if the previous owner didn’t already. Make sure to do valve stem seals when you do the head gasket because every Sol burns oil until you do this. You’ll figure that out if you replace the head gasket and it still blows some smoke. Better to do it at the same time. Since you have the 1.5 liter, there isn’t much to do for power, so keep it mostly stock. Anything you do will just lower its great fuel economy. Paint the manifold heat shield and valve cover and it makes a world of difference. Clean all the grounds in the engine bay as well. The most important one is behind the engine to the left on a water neck I believe. Speaking of which. Silicone radiator hoses are a great upgrade for longevity and appearance for around $28. Something else you’ll encounter is the roof leak. If you can make a video on how to fix that, you’ll be an idol to the Del Sol community. Have fun with your Sol man, and keep up the good work!
