    In today's video, I'll be tackling the start of what I believe will be the most intense portion of this build, the chassis overhaul. Despite the car driving good in the prior episode, a closer inspection revealed a lot of worn out components. The bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and more all showed significant wear so I elected to remove and replace pretty much everything. Not only that, but I also took extra time to restore the parts and make everything look like new before reassembly. Due to the intensity of what I'm going to have to do on this car, I'm splitting up the chassis rebuild into two separate videos. This video will focus on the front end. The next video will focus on the rear end. Thanks for watching!

    Ronald Finger did a similar rebuild series restoring a Fiero that had been sitting in a field for twenty years. That video journey took him three and a half years to complete from start to finish.

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  8 місяців тому +1

      I don't know who that is, but this car is more of a "budget" restoration. I hope to have it wrapped up in the next month so I can get back to my core projects.

    It looks too good for the car haha. Wonder if Kyle has the urge just to go all out on the underside.

    At 11:18 i habe a question - Did you clean and remove the rust completely? Because i seem to spot some in the lower right corner of the thing you were priming?

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  8 місяців тому +2

      I cleaned and prepped and treated as much as I felt was necessary. Being more of a budget build, there's isn't the time and money to do concourse quality.

    Do you clear coat these parts after painting them?

    • @saabkyle04
      @saabkyle04  8 місяців тому +2

      I did not. I just applied a sealer before the base coat. In my experience, it's not always necessary to clear, but if you have the time and the extra funds to put towards it, it's a nice things to do to really "finish" everything off.

    It is a shame that engineers could not come up with bushings snd bearings that require machinery to install. Silly if you ask me.

  • @larrysorenson4789
    @larrysorenson4789 2 місяці тому

    Control ball joints and rubber bushings! No crsp. That’s called an overhaul. It is not a big deal and any serious car owner has this done at ten year intervals.
