- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- Join me in my journey to put this 60 year old ONE OWNER classic British sports car back on the road! We get it running, washed and driving and as always run into some good old fashioned BUILT bad luck along the way.

Glad to see you back!!! I literally just checked your channel a few days ago and figured you had just given up on UA-cam. You were missed.
Same!
You said "Get Smart" 🧑🔧 🪑
Thats a real nice thrown ur sittin in.... I mean CHAIR... LOL.
that chair definitely matches the sunbeam alpine's quirky-ness, loving that you're back. always enjoyed your builds as you feel like a real person doing them!
Thanks so much! Really glad to be back definitely a real person making real mistakes
We had a blast bringing the Sunbeam back to life!! Thanks for having me come out!
You did an amazing job on that! If I was local to you, I'd have you bring my supra project back to life lol
You guys will see more of aim on the channel
That was fun. As is the chair. Sat through and clicked on every ad. Looking forward to supporting you more and more. Sorry ‘bout the glasses. LASIK is awesome.
Nice shirt! Nice chair! Nice Sunbeam! You love your small wheelbase British cars
I will always be a car-nivore 🤙
Glorious chair. Good to have you back posting.
so glad to be back! Thanks for watching!
Love that your are back. Sweet Chair too. Looking forward to seeing all you are up to! I never really got into UA-cam but loved what you do and glad you are back. Also stand up guy and love that your kids are a part of what you do. Great guy!
Watching from Spain. Good to see you back in the chair! I like what you did with the Alpine, back on the road and not over restored. This is the sort of video to help budding mechanics.
I'm glad you're back! love watching you.... love the "chair"!
Thanks so much man! glad to be here
Pretty cool chair, Caleb. Glad to see you back!

Great to see you back. The sunbeam is a tough one for spares. My dad has a 1967 series 5 he's owned it since 1968.
That kingly chair/throne is amazing.
That Alpine is a Chair--EE ride! What a transformation getting it washed and polished!!
well done sir well done
Welcome back!!! I miss your video doing car builds!!
THE KING HAS RETURNED!!! LET'S GOOOOO!!!!
WE'RE BAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you’re back!! Miss you
Glad to be back!
Alpine Talbot made a few great cars. This is one worth saving. Great video 2x👍
Its a very fun car for sure, So glad I was able to get her back up and running again
Glad to see you back!!! Great transformation👍👍 That CHAIR looks very comfortable🪑
glad to be back!!! its pretty cozy!
I can't get over the old pacman Caterpillar sticker in the window, That adds so much personality to the car
love that ur back, nice chair
very glad to be back!
Great quick video. Glad the Alpine got running without problem. It's always fun nudging old convertibles back onto the road.
For the paint, Meguiars Mirror Glaze 7 is great for getting some life back into single stage paint. Letting it soak for a day or two will really make the paint pop for a while.
Cool project and nice to see you back on the tube with the retro chair and I look forward to the next video
Great video Kaleb, awesome to see you on the tube again!
Nice to have you back Caleb awesome video
Thanks man! So glad to be back!
Just wanted to say I’ve had a rough couple days and seeing this video on my feed really chair’d me up! Great to see you back!❤
Chair is awesome. Glad to see you back. Your MR2 brought me here years back.
Not sure what is more vintage that car or that chair. Super glad to see you posting again. Can't wait to see what you have for us next.
Thanks man! I'm very glad to be back I've got a pretty good lineup for you guys
Chair!!! Very happy to see you back. Kids are growing! 🥰
For any car that's sat a very long time, if you care about it, do this..
-ALWAYS pull the plugs first (use borescope if you have one) and heavily lubricate the cylinders down with penetrating oil or ATF and leave to soak.
-Pull the fuel line off pre-fuelpump/ remove fuel pump fuse/ pull coil lead/ remove ignition fuse..
-Pull the rocker cover, lube the rocker gear and turn over the engine by hand, watching the valve actuation.
-If that's fine and you can turn it over 720° by hand easily or once it is possible to do so easily. (sometimes may take a bit to get it unstuck or has a sticky point where it has sat, this will likely not be a very good engine but possibly still rebuildable)
-Then use the starter motor with the plugs still out, checking oil pressure light goes out, or monitoring oil pressure gauge, or removing oil sender to see if any oil comes out.
-Once turning over on the starter and it has spat all the penetrating oil/ATF completely out the cylinders, then compression test it.
-From there you will know if it has valvetrain or cylinder issues (zero comp : likely stuck valves. low comp likely stuck or damaged ring/rings or pistons, in which case leak down test it)
-At this point you have wasted no money on parts, depending on compression you'll determine whether it needs further work or if it's worth you investing money and time into introducing fuel and spark, changing oil etc and all without possibly damaging the engine further..
Hey...glad your back. I really missed these builds...Nice chair as well
Love sitting in my favourite “chair” and watching your videos.. glad to see your back at it 🤙🏼
Will sit on the same chair and waiting for your next week's vid, glad u're back
Great to see you back you kind of reminded me of the posh talking gremlin sat in a chair 😂 ✌🏻🏴
Man every video you post has me glued to my chair. Glad to see you posting again!!
so glad to be back on here man! Glad you enjoyed it I worked hard on this one
Love you man. 6 months is too long. Your story telling is wonderful. Cant wait to see more content and hopefully have the channel grow. Nice Chair
Amazing to see you back again and as passionate as ever! Great chair by the way :)
I am glad you are back, and what a nice CHAIR.

Glad ur back. Nice yellow CHAIR
So good to see you back and hear you are working. Also the boys look bigger... they just grow so fast.
dude they are full blown kids... its sad
So glad to see your still going, I hate to see how poor of a job UA-cam is doing to push your content out like it used to. Hope you’re doing well man, keep it up!
Welcome back Caleb!! Nice CHAIR
Love the old school chair you were sitting. Kinda fits the old school car vibe. Love the channel keep up the awesome content. My son Caleb got a kick out of you having the same name even though they are spelled differently.
Thats rad! its a good name he's set up for success 😂
Glad you are back , really thought you were going to quit so glad you didn’t . I really enjoy the wholesomeness of your channel and your little helpers 😂. That’s a really cool car can’t wait to see what’s next. Maybe put an electric motor on that “Chair”
Yes! A new video. I've recently bought a MGB GT LE. And all I've done to restore it is watch your videos haha 👍
careful, if you watch too many you may end up cutting it up slamming it and making it wide 😂
@@BUILTOFFICIAL I've already got the spacers and leaf springs ready to flip the eyelets.
So so so happy!
same same same!
Nice to see the channel up and about. Love that Chair your sitting in.
Only the nicest of chairs for BUILT Chair crew best crew
What a lovely surprise :) Welcome back and nice chair :)
Glad to see you back! Nice CHAIR!
Only the yellowest of chairs for BUILT thanks for watching!
Nice old survivor. Glad your back, actually the other day at work I was wondering what you were up to lately. Nice CHAIR you got there, matches the older vibe of the old car!
Thanks so much man! Its really humbling to see comments from people I've never met in person saying they were wondering where I was. So happy to be back
@BUILTOFFICIAL You've BUILT a great community!
Glad to have you back! Can't wait to see what else you have been up to during your hiatus. Oh yeah, can't forget to say CHAIR!
That is a nice chair you have there sir
Only the best thrift store chairs for BUILT
🎉🎉🎉 YOU’RE BACK!!! Chair!!
IM BACK!
Badass bro!! Been waiting for your comeback!! Thanks to you, I have started my own UA-cam channel, I appreciate all the inspiration you remind me a lot of me when I was your age!! Chair.
Glad you're back Caleb!! Missed your content
Nice CHAIR you got there. Old school vibe achieved!
Saw your post on IG with the MG. Looks fantastic!! Can't wait for the video on it.
Amazing transformation on the Triumph! The right person who really appreciates it will turn up and pay good money for it. You did very well to get it to this stage. I'm proud of your efforts. Keep cranking out these videos.
Thanks so much man! very cool you are following on ig as well. Thought about not posting that but felt like you guys deserved to see it.. video imminent
The glasses combined with some of the looks you gave is giving me "bubbles" vibes from trailer park boys
Oh yeah....chair
Really excellent intro. Wonderful chair. Extremely well done voiceover during the mechanicals. And the primarily painful part is that. It’s not a tiger. With a small block. V8. Lol keep up the great work.
Really nice to see you back. Keeping it real, and again taking on an impressive "small" restoration :-) You have a great chair!.
I can't wait to show you guys everything I've been working on! More next week! so glad to be back!
Glad your back. I enjoy your videos. Nice chair
Glad your back and by the way love that chair
Chair!.
Glad to see you back but more important, glad to see you enjoying all of this!!!
So much! I've missed being here with you guys!
Idk how you find the odd ball cars like this but I really enjoy seeing you bring them to life ... the car looked depressed in the beginning but with some love it seem to Chair up some 😉 ..BTW the air needs to be fixed onto the valve after you spray starter fluid...then u light it 😂 you got lucky..soooo lucky! But as always this was another great video and can't wait to see what in-store for the next one...Good to have my favorite channel back!!!! ..awesome job 👌
haha knew i did it wrong XD thanks josh!!!
So glad you're back!

Also, I am so glad you are back! I love your channel, and I was missing the projects! Thank you for another great video!
I'm happy that you're back to posting, hope you can keep it up. Your channel was one of the ones that inspired me to actually start doing stuff with cars. I always love them as a kid but seeing you do stuff on your own without having prior experience gave me the motivation to try. I almost forgot about the chair :)
Happy you are back brother, lovely royal chair! Cant wait to see fat$un!!!
