When you restore things properly you've got my attention. When you restore cars you've got my attention. When you restore my FAVORITE cars, i subscribe lol

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment and subscription it means a lot :)

Same lol but I actually own a wrx same year and color but it’s in better condition

The OCD side of me loves your videos. I wish I had a space to disassemble a car like this and really restore it. Keep up the good work my friend. Love and props from Texas!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much, Glad i could provide you with some entertainment :)

[@injuhasz]

great job as usual, only one remark: when tighten the swingarm's front screw, it must be the same position as the car sitting on the wheels otherwise the rubber in the silentblock will be damaged very soon...

[@TonyZ8553]

I think you should reply to this comment since it is VERY IMPORTANT to prevent failure of the front lower arm bushing. Tighten the bolt after the car is down with weight on wheels or you will rip the bushing on the first bump you hit.

[@nealpurnell7438]

Wrexs truly were built to be fixed in a jiffy.. They knew colin was tough on them..

[@802Garage]

Really fun and interesting to watch someone do all this work using the same tools and methods I always do. Detail oriented and I love it. Fine job!

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey Guys, For everyone concerned about me using copper for the brake lines i would just like to let you know that they are NOT copper, they are an alloy containing some copper hence the colour and are sold as fully tested and rated brake line replacement. So unlike pure copper it doesn't work harden over time and shear or crack under high pressure. No safety issues here what so ever but i want to thank you all for being concerned about my safety ;)

[@alisdairherd9501]

Used to be steel Bundy tube but now would be more commonly kunifer or cupronickel tube. Ironically we use copper nickel alloys now because steel tubing may suffer from corrosion. So steel is less safe.

[@leemilica]

Did you torque down the bushings after you put the car on the ground?

[@highwayouttakes4570]

You just answered my question my good man

[@CorralesRacing]

This is going to be so beautiful when it's all done. Can't wait to see it in all its glory!

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you, Yeah i cant wait either :)

[@advant101]

Damn, this gives me anxiety about taking my car to shops or even doing refurbishing work myself- I feel like most places don't put this much attention to detail in their work. Good stuff

[@delta-tuning]

This is great. I need to do this to mine eventually as it's getting a bit rusty and will use this as a guide. The attention to detail is excellent.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

This is Awesome. I own a gc8 wrx and was looking at builds and found this you just earned a sub and a viewer and I would love to also see a interior/ subframe restoration as I need to do that on my gc8 and would love to know how to do it. Peace from Australia✌️

[@jozefvelez8458]

[@BabaG]

I wonder if someone has tallied how many had said "great job" or another accolade. Thanks for sharing, I think we who watch this find it refreshing to know that there are some folks out there who want to do the right thing whatever the job maybe. In a world where everyone is cutting corners either politically or socially or economically, it is good to know the likes of you exist. Love the meticulous attention to doing things the proper way.

[@KostasStergio]

Excellent video once again my friend! One question only: why didn't you paint the suspension nuckle? Won't it rust soon again?

[@RRCRestoration]

thank you , glad you enjoyed the video. Good question, I left the part unpainted as the bluing process should protect the steel from rusting again and this part was never painted from the factory so i chose not to either.

[@albertmeyer8983]

Outstanding job! It looks so easy....

[@petergordon4525]

It is a great job, however I personally don't like the bare copper brake pipe.

[@arthurspontiacfieroblog]

@@petergordon4525 I was wondering about that. I've got to replace my brake lines, and when he brought out the copper, I was thinking "well, that'll be easy!" but after a search, most people agree that copper brakelines are too soft.

14:14 i have never seen an easier ball joint install

[@brianburke7440]

cool subaru design, since the '60s. this design anywhere else?

[@BuzntFrog]

They're good but those 14mm bolts are notorious for snapping off in the knuckle. You also have to be careful spreading it to get the ball joint out. Really easy to break those eyes off the knuckle with a chisel or a flat head as shown in the vid.

[@sethdunlap9868]

Only ball joints I have done were on old Ford trucks from the Northeast of the United States (Rustville, USA.). Anything NOT involving a 4# hammer, a torch, and a rented press impresses the s**t out of me!!

[@JasonTylerRicci]

I'm currently replacing lowers on my Civic and they're a nightmare. When I saw how Subaru's did ball joints, I thought, "They should all be like that"

[@darius2640]

@@JasonTylerRicci I have some experience with those. did you try the C clamp and socket method? after the hydraulic press thats the 2nd easiest way to do them

[@OCDRex11]

Man, between Japan and the UK, that poor thing is rusted a lot! Glad you can/know how to remedy it all. Love the build series on the WRX. I have owned a few.

[@oisinkenny4201]

Wondering for my own curiosity, is there no need to primer before the raptor lining is applied? Unreal work. 👌

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi, Theres no need to prime as long as the surface is sound and prepped according to the instructions ;)

[@RRCRestoration]

Thank you so much for your kind comment it means so much to me :)

[@mihailmikhail2710]

Мне вот не понятно зачем ты регулировочные болты сход-развала усадил на резьбовой герметик? Вроде как написал при этом что всё вернул на свои якобы места, но старая подвеска имеет своё "проседание" и уже от этого проседания была прежняя настройка, на новых шаровых и рулевых наконечниках резинотехнические элементы не имеют износа и люфтов, а прежняя настройка ходовой всё это учитывала под просевшие РТ элементы, смысл тогда выставлять настройки подвески в прежнее значение? сход-развал в любом случае делать, тогда и бессмысленно было усаживать регулировочные болты на герметик.

[@armaxkovalenko1230]

А какая вообще разница в том что ты написал? Он в шаровую и рулевой наконечник смазку не забил, сейчас покатается маленько, а когда в следующий раз будет ходовку трясти уже не будет бездумно клей лить.

[@AndcRew14414]

Hi. I was wandering what substance were you using during "spot of cleaning" in 7:07 :) Results are incredible!

[@hellbillypete.7898]

I think that crack to the left 9:00 is gonna get us back here again, and the best should of course been to clean the whole innerfender from paint..but its your car, and i know you doing an excellent work!

10:20 yes! you got me :D

[@samgorman5731]

So cool to see another Scot online. The job you did was absolutely class!

[@RRCRestoration]

Always nice to hear from a fellow Scotsman ;)

[@takumifan3788]

Shouldn't the lower control arm bush be tightened to spec when the car is on the ground? In my Impreza i was doing whole rear suspension and every bush was tightened with car on the ground and one person in the trunk.

[@russellmander7789]

I thought the same thing

[@RRCRestoration]

Technically speaking yes they should be as tightening them while in the air tends to "preload" the bush making it wear a bit faster than it normally would but as this car isnt my daily driver and will only see the road a few times a year im not overly concerned about slightly accelerated bush wear.Thanks for leaving a nicely thought out comment though :)

Beautiful job right up till the part where you put on the copper brake lines. I don't think that copper lines will even pass inspection in this country. Copper work hardens anywhere it can move or vibrate. I would never use copper brake lines on my car.

[@RRCRestoration]

Hi, The brake lines are a special copper alloy specifically designed for brakes lines, perfectly safe ;)

[@alc818]

@@RRCRestoration might want to mention that in your video as there are probably viewers who may use soft copper by mistake with potentially disastrous results.
