Man I love that your kids are always around, that's how I grew up around cars. I was always in the middle of whatever project was happening.

[@florin.lisman]

i wish i lived your childhood

[@beeftestolone]

Caleb: "a method i do not endorse" Me (5 sec later): *plops down 2 pieces of spring*

[@rstezza]

# ØMEME 😂😂😂that what I was thinking too

[@lukeaysan3607]

LOL! you can see the grinder with the cut off wheel right there also!

[@Prxpagandalf]

This guy is a genius! :D Everyone knows what he is going to do, but for safety reasons, he won't show us the process. My first thought was "cut the spring" and he did. ^^ In germany this kind of stuff is highly forbidden. :(

[@tintinarbring9898]

@@Prxpagandalf In Sweden, that's how most teens lower their cars!

[@vwdubnut7437]

Looks sick. You just can't beat that feeling when you lower the jack for the first time after fitting lowered suspension. Great job mate. 👍🇬🇧

[@MrMadkaw400]

That strut to coil over conversion was cool

[@bertwall]

Caleb's enthusiasm, and frugal builds really makes this channel for me.

[@royaldub8116]

A nice tip I learned when I put brand new coilovers on my car was after I got my height where I wanted, I went back in there and wrapped electrical taped around the rest of the exposed threads so if I ever needed to readjust again after driving around a while, I’d just unwrap the tape and it would be super easy. Just a way to keep it clean and easy for the next time 👍🏽 but I love your vids man I can’t wait to see the rest of the progress

[@daviddevos9444]

Royal Dub that’s actually a daarn good idea

[@kopiwerks]

@@daviddevos9444 great tip. mine were full of sand when i tried to re-adjust haha

[@yesplease3567]

You can also get coilover bags, as in zip over - not the air variety - bag gets filthy but threads stay clean.

[@SuperDeco1990]

Genius! It's so difficult to re adjust mine after catching to many speed bumps 😅😅

[@johnathancrumm]

Royal Dub I thought I’d do pipe thread myself

[@luizgarcia93]

I admire the patiences you have with your kids. Not everyone has that👍🏻

[@tboneo2005]

Yup that's me that's why I haven't worked on my ride lol

[@sociovibez5177]

Man this gave so much motivation to work on my car 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@danialmcfarland3888]

Sick bro but still should do 13×6 in the front and 13×7 in the rear you'll get a lot lower

[@rstezza]

😂😂😂😂 Heavy duty undie cleaner. I’ve got back pain and I laughed out loud. Causing my pain to get worse. 😂😂😂

[@brummiescot]

I wish you would wear safety glasses when using a grinder. Love the work by the way

[@T0tenkampf]

the children are watching!

[@skylerl9706]

Finallyyyy YES

[@trentaucion882]

Really enjoy the channel love the budget builds and the kids playing in the back ground!

[@callum_ash2143]

I love it how u cut the spring you must have some big balls

[@averagekyushaenjoyer]

Damn, life is so good and easy with all the necessary tools. I envy your garage haha

[@opiumCARTI00]

Take care man that wheel is a little dangerous. Love you from Palestine 😍🇵🇸

[@efboy]

Ground controls and Kong’s are OG dude! I had that set up on my old Integra and CRX back in the day!

[@PerformanceCustomsMX]

Like it!!

[@ryanwalker388]

Will you have enough travel with that setup? I used to use MR2 SW20 rear struts in my corolla strut tubes. You can get aftermarket stuff readily available. Plus you cut down the stock strut tube about 40mm. This fits the OE sized MR2 rear strut, and gives you more usable stroke. I also weld a 1/2 thick section of pipe over the OD of the strut for the new sleeve to sit on. I used to have write ups for all this but the crash of photobucket took a bunch out. The rear with 2" blocks will pick up a rear inside tire while on hard cornering. Love the build!

[@ryanstewart6121]

You and Chase have the dopest channel on KZbin. Keep up the hard work

[@T0tenkampf]

Ground Control are great folks, one of the very few that still make suspension for the Contour platform.

[@AkamasBuilds]

Front suspension *high performance adjustable coilovers* rear suspension *leaf springs*

[@bartjuuhhful]

Love it!

[@euphoric5172]

the front suspension came out great, they look like real aftermarket coilovers, nicely done

[@rossheaney5928]

Looks sick but i really dont trust aluminium lowering blocks. You forgot do do a word of the day so ill make my own - PURPLE MONKEY DISHWASHER

[@bearallb]

Dude wear some safety glasses when grinding and even cleaning parts !

[@jase_llan]

You'll usually be okay cleaning (although you should still wear them) but 100% wear when grinding!

[@deadslow201]

He is still young and immortal. He will learn when he gets the first real shrapnel in to eye. I just hope that it is not a cutting disc which explodes.

[@rub3n0st]

​@@deadslow201 Yeah because old guys doesn't do this? Have had shrapnel in the eye two times so bad i had to go to the doctor to get it removed. Both of that times i used safety glasses (should prob. used a full cover glasses or skiing goggles, but yeah they fog up) And i still use a flap disc to just take of some rust or something small sometimes without using glasses. If im using a cutting disc, carbon disc, those metal strings cleaning discs or doing grinding work i always use glasses. So yeah you should use glasses, but for using a flap disc on some light rust for 20 seconds isnt gonna make you go to the doctor with shrapnel in the eye if your not using the grinder completely wrong.

[@chanminkyaw3573]

Man.. u are really talented. I admire u more than the way admire those rich guys who own big garages. I can't wait to see the final result of thad DOPE Corolla!

[@TWISTEDScene]

Hhhmm...you...cut..the..spring...to... remove..the spring 🤣 I can tell you made first part on Saturday it was super windy down here in Mississippi

[@br1zzl395]

Gotta give it to you bro you do a lot of stuff the average joe can do and that’s rare definitely cool too see your kid chilling in the shop with you I don’t like a lot of videos but you got my like keep up the great work bud

[@joshuagraff8381]

You should check out Build Create wide bodied brat. The way he did the brat I think would be a great way to wide body the carolla.

[@bertramhegh4818]

You are a super underrated youtuber love your vids

[@MrSlick208]

You have no idea how happy I am that you made your own coilovers. Now I know what to do to make my own for my 79 corolla. Thank you !!!!

[@Ceo8203]

Hey BUDDY safety 1st!!!!! 😆 I'm just FECKN with ya

[@evans360autostyling]

All I gotta say is love the channel and the videos and Man U living the dream being able to build a car and moving forward with your career and family it’s awesome to see

[@maxinn5352]

clinched fenders from instagram would look really good on this car, you might get a sponsorship with them!

[@patrickweikamp5138]

Please wear safety glasses when you use a grinder

[@BPorter58]

I’m liking the build. I hope we can see it running like a champ soon

[@rub3n0st]

19:38 the moment you realize your neck is shot from supporting your head laying on the ground

[@marchenning5037]

LOL just replaced taillight lenses on the same type of corolla exactly the same color and a full service all parts were bought in our local Toyota dealership South Africa. One of the technicians didn't see the customer card, to my amsument it was signed in as Customer name: Built. Guess I'm not the only one in the shop watching your channel.

[@junkdakota]

Is it just me or would that thing be sick with a moon roof? also you where my inspiration to start a channel:)

[@tadasremeikis7313]

noice

[@MrBjay17]

That beginning should totally be your intro for all your vids

[@maxwellharmon4172]

THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE ALWAYS WANTED SOMEONE TO MAKE! THANK YOU!

[@christiangarcia1664]

A bosozoku type of wide body on this car would look pretty sick

[@3Wheels1Block]

Heavy Duty Undie Cleaner ... that needs to be a t-shirt! This is gonna be sick!

[@Cduerr92]

Most truck shops that build driveshafts and such can custom make you u-bolts. I would highly advise getting some that are the right size because the ones you have in there now are an accident waiting to happen.

[@nakedbandit]

Secret word Channellocks? Early mention as a test to see who was paying attention all the way perhaps. Looking great. I agree with you...once the fenders are cut the front can drop an inch or so.

[@nakedbandit]

Also...that link... groundcontrolstore.com/

[@ashy_gee6]

Awesome video, are painting the inner fender liners? Do you have a render of how you want it once complete ?

[@travismiller8232]

Bruhh...... get you some eye protection. Had me in cringe when you broke out that wire wheel. Love how the build is coming, can't wait to see how it turns out. Keep it goin!!!

[@eduardomierisch8254]

love ur vids dude

[@harleythompsonmagenheimer4580]

Looks awsome ready to see the end results

[@ricwinton5488]

Love the videos, great to see a build on an old wagon. Love that you involve your kidscin the vids. I just wish you would wear saefty glasses when grinding and using the wire wheel, you only get one set of eyes man.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

I need to get some 'heavy duty undie cleaner'.

[@RobBrumby]

Awesome car. I had heaps of them 20 years ago. I used E25 leaf springs in the back of my E30 sedan to lower it.

[@poboyunlimited49]

Pretty much what I did on mine. But I used strut cartridges from 91-98 corolla and shortened my strut housings. Almost made it too low. Wish I could share pics with you.

[@geoffersmaher]

Nicely done sir! No word at the end of the episode????

[@willsanctuary6626]

Hi mate I'll probs do this to my corolla, can you tell me what koni shocks you brought please and a link for the coilover kit

[@defectivegarage1480]

groundcontrolstore.com/collections/corolla-conversion rcagarage.com/shop/suspension/shocks-and-struts/koni-sport-yellow-shock-83-87-toyota-corolla-all-models-rwd-ae86-front-86-1991sport/ Both links to shocks and springs I'm doing the same to my wagon next week

[@defectivegarage1480]

Also forgot my Gramps suggested to put transmission fluid back into where the shock goes. If you notice the shock housing has fluid at first but yes both should work just alittle more

[@willsanctuary6626]

Very helpful mate thank you!

[@abelhernandez7165]

Ad a tube spacer under the strut insert or she’s gone be loose goosie jumpin in your shock housing. The top nut should be tightening everything up

[@benjee74]

woohoo Caleb! Ben- sw florida

[@xTechDecayx]

When he pointed the end of that coilspring at his face in the into i shuddered.

[@omarsameri8563]

Well done Caleb, this is really awesome. I will be so grateful if you can advise me on how to lift the front of my Peugeot 307.

[@4WheelBuilds]

That's looking sick...

[@joshuacheek5140]

Needs smaller tires so you can drop it lower. Dont forget the springs will settle some so you might not need to drop them much to match the rear.

[@SkyWolfGaming12]

dang, that looks hot. can't wait til it's done.

[@UnWrecked]

What brand of heavy duty undy cleaner is the safest for your under carriage? 😆

[@UnWrecked]

Question though. Shouldn't you put a nylon washer under on the inside of the old body before you screw the cap on?

[@Prxpagandalf]

Nice job man! Love from germany ♡

[@jasonposada3250]

What would you charge to make them coil overs ?

[@LIMA-pg6nr]

This thing need a custom wide body like an audi. Btw This is my dream car (ofc with wide body)

[@mattivirta]

audi hahahaha all europe worst shit car ,today LADA because lada russian factory end audio take lada shit car title.

[@OPEK.]

Matti Virta bro u are so fucking russian it hurts.

[@kieranshaw7299]

O no, the old spring ‘snapped’ in half 👌

[@meanpaintandbody]

Im new to this channel from ur last project... Is their more then 1 person in this channel?

[@zekdv8334]

Yup! Kaleb and Chase usually work together but the quarantine is in the way of things 😥 Check out his awesome Datsun builds you'll see

[@meanpaintandbody]

@@zekdv8334 ah ok I saw the video for the fatsun on my videos and saw it was someone else I got confused 😂

[@joelbrunning727]

I’d leave them for a while on the cars weight because they will seat while there on the car 👍🏻

[@arturoizaguirre2943]

I think I had the e36 top hats on my old Corola and they fit fine

[@StaredownGames]

Did I just hear that the fender flares are "on the way"? Not custom this time? Still a cool little wagon. Looks good!

[@SuperstreetC10]

Not going to show you the way I’m going to do it!! With the cutoff grinder next to it. Haha. Perfect.

[@randyatjim7245]

Can't wait to see when it's finished 👊😀

[@dariohernandez6116]

The CLAPPED corolla looking awesome!

[@jts1820]

The Toyota would have drum brakes correct? Also fantastic build so far can’t wait to see the end results!!!

[@vinnierolla]

Looks mean man....well done👌

[@ningning57]

Look at garret seesing's channel he upgraded a Toyota corolla just like yours with a volley snipper fuel injection system. Made it run perfect.

[@aninjacalledshank2278]

Damn i miss all of my old toys. Custom chopping is the only way. I never did any quality work like this though. Great job! So many cars none for more than $300 now in my searching most run around 15k...to only do again........

[@colinsmith2423]

6:41 had my dying!!!!

[@ezeliousadams3816]

Why would you even dislike the video😂😂?

[@that2doortahoe4]

This so makes me want to build a old car now!

[@romycha7493]

Look into getting older Camaro shocks for the rear.

[@LAKERAT_YT]

Well I did catch the magic word so ill make my own....... MEAN MACHINE

[@LAKERAT_YT]

DIDN'T

[@LukeTheJoker]

Surprised you didn't go with a steel threaded coilover sleeve kit. The advantage with them is you can weld them to the strut sleeve rather than relying on rubber O rings to stop the rattling. Also, I didn't see you refill the sleeve with oil/trans fluid to help with heat dispersion, was there a reason for that?

[@SuperDeco1990]

This week's word of the video 'undiecleaner'

[@weaponexicanLOWMONEY]

Ive got a gold 1990 Corolla wagon that im about to work on too

[@staudtc91]

I do not endorse this* Next scene=cut springs 🔥👌

[@mathiasunderlin8688]

Dude, at 8:30 or so, you used a wire wheel without eye protection, start practising basic safety equipment :P otherwise, great video as always

[@hillberry_revival]

Your garage is looking sharp

[@negrolortiz8689]

I need that coilovers for my AE86

[@andrewwhittaker2613]

Cool build! hey question regarding the Koni shocks, what model are they? thanks

[@heavy_duty]

I didn't see anything holding the shock to the strut housing. Can you tap the nub on the bottom and run a bolt through the shock housing to hold it together? Good content though!

[@heavy_duty]

Also, if there is play around the shock inside the strut housing, I think you can tighten it up with a couple of wraps of duct tape.

[@BackyardSChassis]

Kind of surprised you don't just convert to s13 240sx front suspension being a bolt in and has plenty of coilover options

[@wangson3241]

nice

[@derekmatthew8143]

17:36 thats what I always say, giggidy

[@Thomas-yv5yw]

keep up the good work !

[@musicfadel918]

That's amazing more
