    A quick one to help you save those lenses. Cut a sheet of thick acrylic into squares and notch the edges so you can hook elastic bands through the sheet and over the body of the camera. You can use blu-tac on the lens edge to hold the acrylic in place. It'll stop that grinding dust from hitting the lens and is so close to the front element that the camera will just ignore it until it is REALLY dirty.

    When I first saw the condition of the rear end, I said NO WAY..!
    Brother did you show me a thing or two.
    I'm speechless, I can say it can't get any better than that. Great job... BRAVO..!
    I was working in Guam and the company gave me a Suzuki Jeep to drive, it was a fun 4 wheeler. Believe it or not it was the color of the reddish orange primer you used. No doors, no windshield, no top, no tailgate, only two seats. 100° so when it rained it felt good.
    They were illegal in California, 1989 time. I never saw one in California.
    Impressive you surprised me.

    That was an amazing transformation! If you don't own one already, a needle scaler is an amazing tool to cut through heavy rust scales quickly (it just hammers off everything remotely loose) so your blaster doesn't have to do the heavy lifting. It would have been perfect for the third member as well as it will remove what a wire brush won't cut. They're just noisy as hell so I'm sure my neighbors love mine :D
    I've pretty much the same 250A MIG welding machine minus the little display and spool gun connector and it's been faithful for the last 7 years, I definitely don't regret buying it.
    But those repair sections you put in the trailing arm brackets are structural and have enough thickness that they don't need a stack of tacks, you should really do continuous sections of welds here.

    You should look into zinc primer, we use it on boat trailers that go in sea water, it acts as a sacrificial anode and postpones future rust for years, we find it works great! We use CRC zinc it.

      @@SalandFindles No. A Panhard rod is NOT a "sway bar". Completely different. Panhard rod controls/reduces the side to side movement of the rear axle, thus keeping it in the same place laterally. Whereas an anti-roll bar (mistankenly often called a sway bar) controls and reduces body roll during hard cornering.

    Only two criticisms (besides the mechanical issues already discussed);
    1) I probably would have taken the opportunity to tap a 1/8" BSP thread into the breather. Your friend may want to install a breather extension in future. This could be something the Mechanic can do while his
    2) The centre spacer of the Caster Correction bushes would need to be correctly positioned by the mechanic when the 2" lift is installed.

    Awesome restoration. Love what you did. One suggestion, don't take apart the rear gear like you did. The rear bearings needed to be measured to be put back in the exact spot that they were in before with the proper backlash. Now that differential will have a whirling noise from it. Even if the mechanic can adjust the backlash, it will not be in the exact same place it was before since it wasn't measured.

    A bit of a correction, the thing you call sway bar is not a sway bar, it's a panhard bar. Sway bars limit movement of the wheels on each side relative to each other (or in case of an axle like this, the twist of the axle), the panhard bar meanwhile is what keeps the axle from moving laterally in an uncontrolled fashion (by the nature of the panhard bar, the axle always move side to side as it goes up and down, because the bar travels in an arc, but the small amount of controlled motion is fine)

    A rather fancy restoration for under carriage. It'll be the dirtiest parts of the car when it serves the purpose. Anyway, great job, and thanks for sharing the video.

    First reaction when you found "some holes that need welding":
    Oh, no! (Flashbacks to a certain German car)

    Mesmerising...But was it worth the cost for replacing with a used one in a better condition?The video as always was great,and the work is amazing.Thank you

      Why bother restoring anything then, just go and buy it new or a better second hand version. Restoration is about saving something from the scrap and making it new again for the satisfaction.

      It was worth it for the video, yes. Thanks, man!

    I'm sure you know, but incase you didn't; you can get an UV-filter for your lens which effectively is just a lens protector. I'm guessing though that sparks is not the reason you're on your 6th lens

    Some serious effort there mate and flawless finish.
    You mentioned about the mechanic being the one responsible if the brakes fail. The same can be said of the welded suspension mounts.
    I’m not an expert (I weld, not amazing but I get by) and I’m not trying to be a bell end but those welds look super cold and no real penetration. I wonder (I’m sure an expert will correct me soon) if things like this should be MIG welded at all. And then grinding away the majority of the weld just made me nervous.
    Hopefully I’m well wrong and it’ll last forever.
    And like I said before beautiful flawless finish though mate 👍👍👍

    With all of your precise work, how much did you charge the customer? It must have been a lot. Many hours of your work. John from CapeCod

    A freshly blasted surface no longer needs treatment, it's great as is to get a grip on the primer. If you want the finish to be bulletproof, painting it with a 2 pack epoxy paint is the way to go

    In my country we use axles from Vitara to run Jimny or 410/413. And engine swap to 1.6 - easiest option probably.

    Cant get over the look of the oil you drained, like new, would expect black worn oil going by the outer condition of the differential, suppose its from a BMW 🤤
