Dissasembly, Inspection and Refresh of the Front Suspension and Brakes on the Mk1 MR2

[@dusting1851]

the amount of times you said "fuck off, that's massive," amused me to no end

[@GVickers613]

That was very manly handled with that scary monster attack! I especially liked the escalation of hammers in defence of your life.

Some days i wonder wonder what’s more important, getting an mot or getting rid of all of the spiders....

[@jimbuilds]

How did you not hear that spider? I'm sure it was wearing doc Martin's!

[@lawrencewaite3084]

My car has the same rust and the fuel pump has died 😂😂 excellent work though man, got me motivated to sort mine

[@Resto.Nation]

Great stuff mate. The tank is a nasty job, make sure you only have to do it once....

[@larrycluness5438]

Just bought a 1988 MK1b for a project and there's a lot in common with this one, but maybe my one is a little worse regarding rust! I'll be watching every one of these videos to try and learn something, cheers for going to the effort to video all the jobs you did!

[@Resto.Nation]

No worries. If you ever need any questions answering just drop it in the comments section and I will do my best to help... good luck with the build 😎

[@larrycluness5438]

@@Resto.Nation hey thanks for taking the time to reply! I feel like I'm connecting with a celeb, a celeb that tackles mahoosive creepy crawlies!!! Seriously though all the best, I would think there'll be quite a few questions!

[@Resto.Nation]

@@larrycluness5438 far from it mate! Hope you enjoy the videos too. P.s there is another video in the pipeline on what Happened to the mr2 after I sold it too... it’s not pretty

[@ocesmekanics3831]

Corrosion is extremely bad in those parts of the world. Great content

[@Clem000]

Love you content filming editing and how clearly you speak. I've started an MR2 MK2 project and your videos are giving me a good idea of the work involved.

[@Resto.Nation]

Thanks, good luck with yours.

[@Nvdp0103]

To bad postage to Belgium will probably cost an arm and a leg. I'm rebuilding an AW11b myself and my callipers are allmost gone. Awesome vids btw, keep it up.

[@Resto.Nation]

Probably as much as the pads cost haha! I think a guy in the U.K. is having them but if not then I will give you a shout and we can look into it... thanks mate. Next video isn’t far away now.

[@ek8710]

What spray sealant did you use? Looks like the OEM stuff, I've been using gravitex but it doesn't have that sort of finish. Also lol that spider section :D

[@Resto.Nation]

Good question, it was a long time ago! From memory it would have been done using a shultz type gun and an under body sealer of some sort.

[@twotone_ra6558]

22:19 I recently just purchased a 1988 MR2 SC, and I have the exact same rust on the opposite side. I live in the US, so technically it’s just a mirror image of the rust you repaired there. Kinda bummed you lost the footage of that repair.

[@Resto.Nation]

Twotone_RA65 it was only the footage of the inner stiffener. You should be able to replicate it from the existing by making a template 😎. Good luck

[@twotone_ra6558]

Resto Nation thanks!

[@Herpitor]

Superb series of vids on this MR2 project! What brush-on black satin paint did you use for the front brake parts?

[@Resto.Nation]

Thanks. It was a high temp engine enamel because that’s what I had to hand but it goes on nice, sits flat and is a one coat job 👍🏻

[@Herpitor]

@@Resto.Nation thanks for reply. Do you know the brand name? I happen to need some so would be happy to check out what you used.

[@specialk7269]

Hi mate those front pads would be awesome. 😊

[@Resto.Nation]

Sorry mate. They went within a day...

[@specialk7269]

@@Resto.Nation no problem mate loving the vids
