OPEL BUILD BEGINS! - Assembling The Engine

[@lukehigginson9595]

I like how he went from Robbie repairs to Robbie rebuilds

[@gradof6b]

Yo!Yo. Civic oem radiators work perfectly for those tiny card. I restored an MGB a few years ago popped in a civic half rad and boom never over heats even hear in hot at Texas

[@jameshaavik4104]

I wasn’t sure about this build but seeing the work going into it has peaked my curiosity

[@Karloisus69]

**me and the boys during quarantine**

[@VippuAutospa]

Karlo its all about the robbie and chill eh🤣

[@Karloisus69]

@Adrian Valenzuela HAHAHAHA dont ruin it

[@Karloisus69]

@@VippuAutospayeah totally :)

[@antonioterceira7103]

The content I need during this quarantine

[@cheynsanders5506]

I’d love to see brad just taking the camera and filming like Robbie does every now and then, it’s be fun to see changing perspectives

[@jameshaavik4104]

Guess who’s here again. You know I’m a simple man, I see a robbie video. I click

[@tractor6949]

I do the same thing. literally every time I see a Robbie video I get exited

[@oscartejura4887]

This guy is 100% simp

[@abraham1513]

Oscar Tejura lmaoooooo

[@jameshaavik4104]

Oscar Tejura ok

[@craigburkey370]

So...you absolutely MUST give us a reaction video from Derick's Father-In-Law when he gets it!!!!

[@derekthornton]

That is absolutely the plan. Timing may be an issue, as he is in full quarantine mode.

[@Pieiskewlest]

Love these vids. I have a 77 280z. It’s running but still needs work. This motivating me to continue working on it.

[@Asian_Auto]

Do it man! The 280z is an absolute gem, Im jealous you have one lol

[@Nathaaaaaniel]

15:02 , Robbie, I hope you know that's how every cars heating system works.

[@nicholasvieira1843]

love the drone intro ! you can adjust the "speed" and make the "up and down" of the camera smoother in the dji flight app in the settings ;) keep it up :)!

[@danielblocker8008]

Those openings shots were beautiful. Loving this mini series. Something a little different.

[@mackncheze7174]

Absolute legend for doing this man

[@PluckyBoat]

I felt the same way rebuilding my WRX. I bought a mess of a car and spent a week figuring out what the previous owner had done.

[@AwaitingNonExistence]

That intro gave me hella Forza Horizon vibes 🔥

[@darkproject3368]

7:16 classic Robbie song made me feel so nostalgic

[@jordanengen3932]

Saaame

[@fierce4292]

We're building a 73 opel gt for drag racing in my tech school. Gonna put a built 383 stroker in it with a turbo 350 trans and a ford 9 inch rear end

[@Timo_3545]

Love the old GT's!!! Manually flip over the front lights by a handle inside the car😝🤘🏻 nice rear end sporty car at a good price those days

[@tospooky4u803]

ooooh am liking to more often videos and the cinematic start

[@DeoneSoBord]

Cinematics are fun to make! I find it hurts the video because people click off usually or skip the cinematic anyways, maybe it's because I don't have a fanbase as large as Robbies that it hurts my channel more but if I could have it my way every video would have at least one solid cinematic 😄

[@oskar.h3227]

My school just got canceled yesterday and now I have a lot of time to watch Robbie

[@basshead9872]

same, as of now i have 4 weeks off

[@seansspeakers]

I feel the same way Robbie winter just takes all the fun out of cars man.. we’re getting closer to that warm weather !

[@MrTBoneMalone]

OK, I had to click on this video because we NEVER saw these things on the road when I was a kid growing up in the seventies. I've only known of one person that had one. The engine and transmission in these things look like they came out of a lawn tractor. Pretty cool that you're restoring it.

[@lowestjoe7643]

This will be a hell of a series. I am exited.

[@jusach]

After opel build i would really love to see your truck build cuz we havent really seen videos about it! Thx alot for your content🙏

[@joelard835]

"Courtney's Car" haha

[@Jadentipgolf]

I have not idea why, but I love your videos!

[@shootix]

It was a good idea splitting up those videos and I enjoy watching them and are exited for the next ones

[@Z3R0__Gaming1]

Subaru commercial 11/10. Drone footage is getting great💯

[@ThaPric3]

You need to watch the dutch movie "New kids turbo and nitro" there's a mint green manta in it!!!!

[@Timo_3545]

And a black one😁😁😁

[@ethangerbeling4896]

I live in Nebraska and it was nice to hear us get a mention, considering most Americans dont even know we exist let alone Canadians!

[@Mant1s]

At first I wasn't sure if it would be good and entertaining but now as I'm watching this video I'm starting to like this :)

[@keanu069]

Im not sure but i think the carburator has a water controlled choke. Some of these Opels have a hose Running from the rad to the side of the carburator and back. Inside that part on the carburator is a bimetal that controls the choke by the heat of the coolant water. You should check if you have that or not ;)

[@jsavage8986]

Cant wait to see it all done in the end

[@matt_fbcc]

My son loves watching these videos too. Hes 13 months old and loves cars already.

[@TheAdamSandlerProdigy]

Looks like a raised rally classic mazda Rx3 which really looks like a cool rally project IMO!! Keep up the excellent work matee 👍👍

[@codysaffeels6579]

Keep up the good work. Digging the Opel rebuild!

[@delahoyateo5035]

Hey Robbie, you probably won’t see this message but would you consider getting a Toyota altezza for a drift car

[@tannercheney4012]

Yo keep up the great work robbie. You are such a big inspiration to me

[@chazoobee139]

Really glad you took this on, love to see you out of your comfort zone. 👍

[@VippuAutospa]

Crimson Era classic robbie always bringing heat

Well the Ray Manta is a really cool car. Be careful with the distributor, I'm not familiar with old Opels but with Ladas you can put it in twisted is 180 degrees and that way setting the ignition timing is really huge pain in the ass because of that 180 degrees. With that vacuum drum it looks really similar.

[@simasm.9757]

new legend working on old legend love you man great videos

[@jonathanpouliot2]

I can hear this engine bay asking for a bigger engine 😂😂

[@l3v4rt]

These Opel engines are CIH type and they fit bolt to bolt from 1.6l -2.4l and they you have 6 ciilinder options. A friend of mine teases me that I should put a v8 in mine :D

[@jts1820]

I personally like how you shorten radiator to rad. Also great video keep up the great work.

[@eli2685]

more videos yay! even though it’s not your car i’m glad to see the opel(?) coming together and getting closer to running. can’t wait for the next video!

[@hydrolics5449]

Awesome video as always. Keep it up Robbie!

[@MJ-qc1kw]

I’m 16 and have a 1966 international harvester. It’s a fairly uncommon truck, and I related completly to just about everything in this lol. It is IMPOSSIBLE to find even books on this thing!

[@cba360]

I only live about 30mins from the Haynes Motor Museum, the books are the car bibles on diy fixing!

[@etsezee]

Omay, I just realized that the way how Robbie hold his marker is the way how I hold pencils snd ballpens. That's sweet! 5:59

[@_Furbz]

i cant wait to see this done! I would never have imagined my favourite youtuber working on one of my favourite cars! Correct me if i'm wrong but wast this a deal that GM and Buick had going on? Much love from the UK, Super happy to see this getting some love!!

[@_Furbz]

P.s if you need info on these use Google.co.uk or Google.pl you might have to use a website that redirects you to english or polish google but you'll find tons of stuff this way dude!!

[@milfhunter6999]

Use German goole Google.de because Opel is a German Brand. You will also find a lot there. And Opel had nothing to do with GM of Buick in the 70s. Opel was owned by GM from the 90s to 2019 Think.

[@l3v4rt]

@@_Furbz if you like mantas and wish for more content you can find them on my channel, I am restoraing a Manta A as well. :)

[@CleepyJoeOfficial]

Can't wait to see genny after this build !!!

[@d3ja527]

Respect from Serbia bro❤ Opel is brutal😍👌

[@brandoneberlin1694]

Was just thinking for the manifold you could have welded some nuts on the broken studs and then with the heat from welding the nut on and an impact they should have came right out! But great work though it does seem simple to work on! I can’t wait to see the rest of these videos

[@MartinSanchez-sk6zo]

You're crazy robbie, I work on my build for myself as a passion, I can't imagine having another headache that isnt mine

[@KutsugeMindUrmoks]

This car is so cool

[@xspowermando9551]

Yeah this good tho see u lesrning new stuff and making more vids for us more likes more responses from everyone and better to build channel it's a win win all around keep it up and stay committed

[@dj153212]

Robbie bro you gotta look into getting a oxy-acetylene torch setup. Heating up those manifold bolts with a torch and the vice grips would have taken them out easy.

[@sj3802]

Nice work robbie. Good work as always and keep it up!!!

[@maxxas5067]

You could use a Mazda, CRX, or civic rad you'd just have to make custom mounts and stuff. Since it's a small low horsepower car you shouldn't need a crazy cooling system

[@rockydiodate6519]

robbie I love the vids!!!!!

[@benitamanzanarez3520]

I looove how that s13 looks

[@haydenarseneau2561]

I say Rad all the time some people just dont get it and are dense, you and Brad are right

[@phiillzzz807]

For all you American guys, Opel is a Euro brand (Ger). Also known as Vauxhall in the UK, Holden in Australia and Saturn in north america.

[@scleese198]

Yo also running a bunch of wires as a wire harness, something I just learned from another channel(I THINK mighty car mods) twist all those boies up a bunch and run them. They flex better and stay together without zip ties every foot of run.

[@Luna-yb4mt]

Thank you Robbie for viewing my art of jasmine on Instagram means a lot ❤️

[@amberionik]

6:00 be carefull sometimes those markers go through the paper which is not good when underneath the paper is a a car paint

[@eibbionlaird]

im in ohio, we use rad(radiator), alt(alternator), trans, diff... if they dont know what it means then they're not car people's. And if they do but are too fancy to use them terms, they probably work in a porkcha or lamber-magini shop and never work on anything just have insurance total a car out cause the windshield sprayer stopped working.

[@eibbionlaird]

jokes

[@danielkelder2729]

Im building one of those myself atm, real pain in the ass but the car got soul ✌🏼

[@basshead9872]

This build is rad

[@darkproject3368]

That intro was SO GOOD

[@lauritzclausen3807]

Absolutely love Opel Manta!

[@l3v4rt]

you have some videos of it on my channel and search for #opelmanta on instagram, you have some great photos of thee cars there. :)

[@bananalover6047]

U should lift the Subaru (not the brz) like 2 inches and put like fuel wheels and off-road tires on it. It would be cool. Keep making the killer vids bro!

[@liamdawes6599]

Hey Robbie I don't know if you read these comments or not. I've been subscribed for a pretty long time and I have had an idea for a build ( yes I know you have a few going at the moment). It's a ls400 V.I.P "drift" build (1998-2000 Model) I think it would be awesome

[@sebastianolsson9063]

You should use the drone to stockpile B-Roll for every coming video!

[@clacrosseh]

What drone does brad have? I know you mentioned in a video but I cant remember which one

[@eastcoastgaminq4399]

If I was rebuilding the opel I'd do a resto mod, v8 swap, brake upgrades, wheels and tires, suspension exhaust the whole 9 its be badass

[@PurpleCynMedia]

Yo man, I'm curious as to where you get your music? I'm just starting out and I'm mainly doing like meet/show coverage and cruises.

No there is an actual channel called none copyright music Look up ncm on KZbin

[@taddbeta]

Hey, do you guys mind leaving your notes and resources available to those who are also rebuilding, i'll be doing this soon and would love as much resources/info as possible, especially on wiring and plumbing.

[@ToxicGooo]

The intro looks like it should be a Subaru commercial lol love it

[@aceofspades9845]

the genesis would have fitted well in the intro, with the Hyundai excavator in the background

[@villelipponen923]

Never watched your videos, but when i see Manta in a thumbnail, i have to click. Those things are pretty rare here in Europe, can't imagine how hard it is to find one in there. It is a GM car, but made in Germany. So i don't believe they were a huge thing outside Europe.

[@Stewe_9thGen]

So hype!!!

[@2timegarza583]

This is awesome

[@jayzceegraham]

“I feel like this is not a priority in getting the car running”

[@dodman3211]

Can I ask you Robbie where did you learn to use tools so well??

[@adambrado1882]

I’m sure someone else has commented this by now, but you do not need a “rad” to start a motor. You can start it and run it with no “rad” and run it, just do not run it to “temp”.

[@Bratsoni]

Ayee notification gang 🔥🇬🇷

[@rossbarrass1576]

Sweet dude

[@MisterMin3craft]

Ay Robbie, you know that Heater COres are build always like this? In modern Cars they are just hidden behind you'r Dash so you cant see them, but they are still just a tiny Radiator that a Fan is blowing throu

[@danielcostanzo1288]

i'm here for this build bro, also how y'all not hit that wire with the drone in the beginning 💀

[@sebastiannegron79]

a Hayne's Manual is the perfect guide, the manual is based on a complete teardown and rebuild

[@patrickzimmermann3145]

Is that oil sump an original? In europe tjese look different...

[@the710experiment84]

I really enjoy watching you learn from doing things you've never done, so don't take this as a negative comment. I come from a generation where "RAD" meant amazing or cool. It sounds a little off when referring to a radiator 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@eastcoastgaminq4399]

Civic OEM radiator works perfect for them older cars

[@adamhmaidan6020]

when is the exhaust for the brz coming in???

[@reedmasonkyle]

You're right. That's a tap and die kit

[@TheOnyxRanger]

On the rad vs. radiator debate: just do what I do and use both. At the same time. RAD-iator. My friends hate me. It's great.
