It definitely depends on what region of the USA - we have an entire swath of the country that's called the "Rust Belt." But here on the west coast, things are good! I watch a few UK car youtubers and am often shocked at what you guys have to deal with over there.
Dude, you are so chilled out, I love it. That hardcore part with the vice grips and then back to smooth music was just excellent lol I'm slowly working on my 2017 Miata in my driveway and your detailed videos are very helpful. I've seen different channels on UA-cam grow and I can tell you right now that what you're doing here is going to be noticed and appreciated and your channel will grow a lot. You have a very unique and relaxed approach, great outdoor lighting and camera positions to make it easy to follow, and I love that you work outside on the driveway instead of in some fancy garage with a lift, so more people can follow along. Don't change and stay humble man, you're awesome.
Very nice of you to say, thank you! I wouldn't mind having a nice garage with a lift, but I get what you're saying about keeping things relatable. There is a lot you can do in a driveway with a bit of determination!
Your Miata is beautiful! You are inspiring me to resurrect my beloved 1995 NA ( complete with clearcoat failure... looks bad but drives great). Thanks!
Thanks! If you do start a channel, my only advice is to keep it fun for yourself and not worry about cranking out content. It's a lot of work, and not really worth it unless you enjoy the process.
Andrew, great vid as always. Your videos always help me out as I work on my 92 Miata. Great idea using he vacuum caps on the hard lines. Do you remember what size cap you used? More Miata Videos!!!
Thanks! I don't remember the size of the vac caps, I just have a variety box of them. I have more planned for the Miata, still need to do this same thing to the rear brakes & hubs, then I have a full set of poly bushings to install, then things like the front ball joints & tie rods. Those will be videos whenever I get around to it :D
Great video! Any chance you went down the rabbit hole of steel vs rubber lines, and all of the point/counter-point therein? I'm still on the fence. If Ferrari and Porsche ship their best cars with rubber, why did I put braided steel on my Volvo C30? For all the track days I DON'T do? Ha!
Thanks! You make a good point, I don't think it's really neccessary to use braided lines. But neither does it hurt. It's just one of those things that seems like an upgrade "while I'm at it". In theory they should expand less under hard braking and give a firmer pedal, but I doubt it's a noticable difference. One downside is that you can't see the condition of the rubber under the braiding, so it's harder to tell when they need to be replaced.
Awesome video Andrew. Are you open to doing any LED upgrade? We would like to invite you to do a review video for our Auto LEDs and we just dropped a line via email for inquiring an opportunity, hope hear from you soon
You know what, I had no idea it was also used for that. I just learned a thing! I got this tool from IPD (Volvo parts place). It's plastic and not real bone of course. www.ipdusa.com/products/4801/Multi-Purpose-Trim-Bone-Tool-Genuine-Volvo-9814071
Gotta love how everyone paint calipers red. Would never do that. I got 6pot on my gmc off police Tahoe and they are black with no logos Perfect NO look at me BS
As gross as the bucket looks, Evapo-Rust is actually non-toxic, which makes it that much more amazing. You make a good point though, it's too easy to be cavalier about absorbing chemicals when working on cars.
I'm slightly jealous of how clean & rust-free USA cars are compared to UK ones!

"Aesthetic upgrade" aka a complete overhaul of the brakes and hubs 😆They look awesome! Great tips for getting those rubber gaskets seated.
Thank you!
Just started binge watching videos, has to be one of the most well put together, informative and feel good automotive channels out there!
Thanks very much! 🙏
Just started my project car and Andrew is my guy now! Binging as well! We'll see how it goes.
Love the videos on the Miata
Thanks! More to come, eventually

Fluid Film is great stuff, I'm useing it for some 25 years on my cars. Great video, editing is spot on 👍👍
Thanks! Good to hear that you've had good luck with FF over a long period.
Nice job! However I've doubting the 60ft/lbs on the sliders and 40ft/lbs on the carrier brackets.. is that the right way around?
Thanks! And I see where you're coming from, but I'm going from the factory workshop manual, and that's what it says! Just double checked to be sure.
@@AndrewDoesCarStuffnot 60 in/lbs????
bro thats the smoothest transition in all history 7:20 that was funny af
Very clean work on the upgrade .very nice car .
Thank you!
That’s gorgeous
Thanks! I'm still going to do the rears, eventually...
Great work! Thanks for posting!
Hey Andrew! Looking forward to the rear end work!
Yeah, I've gotten a bit distracted and let that fall by the wayside... still have all the parts waiting to go. It'll happen at some point!
i put the same brake lines on mine last week, those damn clips...
man i really like your channel i just found out todayt watched about 5 videos,some day im starting my own.

"Hold my beer" 🤣 that shit had me dead 💀
I'm glad someone appreciated that, haha!

@@AndrewDoesCarStuffthose braided lines will outlive the car contrary to the rubber ones for sure
You have waaaay too less views compared to the quality and style of your videos... like them very much ❤
I appreciate that!

At 11:44, are you using a book binding bone tool?

Do you know whats in that bucket of cleaner that you dip your hands in ? Please gloves for your health 👍
