_________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally some more progress on the 1972 Toyota Corolla undercarriage restoration.
This took me a long time, and I ended up getting nerve inflammation in my wrists, but it was very satisfying.
Like every stretch of this restoration, sandblasting is a world of its own with new products, methods, language, and processes that needed to be learned. In the beginning the pot sandblaster was cutting out a lot. This was due to not enough moisture being taken out of the compressed air in my water trap, as well as not having enough media in the blaster. I've found that too little media at a time doesn't create adequate pressure for the flow to be smooth, you need to put in a whole bag at its much better.
I was using a mix of 20-30 and 30-60 grit crushed glass, and found it to be a great media.
The grinding discs were black strip discs, which I read were a little softer than the purple ones, making it easier to fit into the many channels in the floor panels.
The Deadman's handle that came with the blaster was good for a while, but quickly understood why people made the upgrade to the ball valve. The sand eats away at the nozzle and stopping plate, and it becomes useless. With the ball valve upgrade you can also endlessly spray without fatigue from the handle.
The etching on the mask was a big problem. I found some polycarbonate replacements, but they quickly got fogged up. I needed to use my bright sandblast cabinet lights to see anything.
There was still some rust pitting left, but it will be neutralized with phosphoric acid when i'm ready to paint.
Hope you enjoy, and feel free to ask questions!

[@chesmari]

Wiring is really not that bad. You’ll have to force yourself to look at it one wire/circuit at a time. Once you’ve done one, it gets easier. You’re doing a great job!!!

[@jfgarro]

Exactly! The wiring for this cars are really simple (compared with a modern car), with the basic understanding of it you can replicate, or even better improve the system (with, for example, adding relays for the lights subwiring, hiding wires in the wheel wells, etc). Great job by the way!

[@sansberlin]

I've been watching some videos, especially the one SuperFastMatt did about wiring the whole car, it really brakes it down. Funny enough, bringing the wires to the engine bay seems easier than bringing it inside the car to wherever they go. Appreciate it!

[@restoration1111]

Great job

[@jamesofallthings3684]

Exactly. I'd rather wire that whole car than sandblast it myself any day.

[@fuzzjunky]

a 72 Rolla? power and earth to the coil. it will run.

[@mrmooney25]

I love this series its one of the greatest going on right now. Pro tip for the wiring, the HP academy lessons on wiring are a great help. I was in the same boat as you a year ago and after going through their instructional videos I was able to wire up an old Volvo from scratch with a bit of confidence. I'm still not a wiring expert but I feel like I have enough knowledge to at least not make any huge wiring mistakes. Cheers!

[@sansberlin]

I saw their videos and started going through it, they're really great! I also like a video SuperFastMat did about rewiring an entire car, its super to the point and really helped my understanding so far. Thanks!

Excited to see this through to the end. I've always wanted to do full teardown restorations on cars/motorcycles but still don't have the space (or money). Hopefully some day!

Good gosh! I really like ALL your videos. This one is well up to your usual superb standard. Your explanation voiceovers more than made up for those little spots where you couldn't wear a microphone. The camera angles and editing perfectly support your exposition. They draw this viewer right into paying rapt attention to what you're doing! Your film...whets all our appetites for more! Well done!

I particularly enjoy your laughs of satisfaction.

[@Jecklen16]

I just reconnected all of the wiring on my 87 GTI, what saved my life was wrapping each connection in painters tape to make a tag, then wrote (to the best of my ability) where it went, THEN took a picture of the wire with the writing where I unplugged it from. Seriously can't imagine figuring it out without doing all that. Tedious but 100% worth it.

[@sansberlin]

Im probably a little to late for labeling, but I did get a few on there. This engine bay seems simple enough, but im hoping to learn how to make some nice clean wiring with weatherproof seals. I'm actually getting excited for it

[@Jecklen16]

@sansberlin ya as soon as I wrote it I was like "idk what the point of that was" lol. You did a great job regardless.

So excited to see this build process! Looked like an absolute slog getting the under cleaned up. Can't wait for the next.

[@sansberlin]

It was a dirty job and I’m glad its over. Thanks!

[@JamesChurchill3]

Welding is a piece of cake. Its everything leading up to it that's a pain, but you're 95% there already. Just cutting out the rust and fabricating replacement panels now and you're good. I'm amazed at how well that enclosure worked, I expected to see way more grit and dust blown out of there.

[@sansberlin]

I’m surprised too, today I had to do some touch ups without the tent and things went everywhere, it was a pain. Welding starts tomorrow, pretty excited

[@alexabc123]

Great stuff. I keep thinking down the road you'll wish you went the extra mile. You're so close to having everything stripped and redone correctly!

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man. Curious, what do you consider “correctly”? Think of this as the learner car so I can rebuild my dream car correctly

[@alexabc123]

@@sansberlin just stripping everything, glass, interior, etc. And fixing rust everywhere. Maybe that was already your plan but I assumed not since you didn't take it off prior to tipping the car over. You've done so much work already I just meant why not go all the way. that always runs the risk of too much cost, losing steam in the project etc.

[@sansberlin]

@@alexabc123 the plan is to keep it simple and learn the skills so that when the dream car comes around, I can do a complete resto. This is the first project, and the first time ever doing this, so gutting the car would be too much for me

[@peterjohnston1224]

My first car was a 1974 Corolla SR-5. It was a blast. I learned how to do most of the maintenance I do on cars today, on that poor thing. But the 72 Corolla is absolutely a classic, right up there with the Ford Escort.

[@FrankTaveras]

I just got myself a 1976 Corolla. I don't plan on doing the work myself but this is a great series for someone learning the details of the 70's corollas. At this point i'm just doing research on what I should get done to restore it, what I want and what my pockets can afford

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man

[@Rrgr5]

Man, I admire your courage to do all this without a jumpsuit, if I can give you an advice, get one before the painting, also, the soldering isn't as difficult, just take your time to train yourself, use some sheet of steel try with it untill you feel is good enough, I also encourage you to try grinding after, it looks better, isn't difficult, but it needs some attention.

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man, I was eyeing the jumpsuit in princess auto the other day, I’ll have to get one. I was planning on doing exactly that, get some practice on the sheet metal I bought, and grind away the imperfections. I’m just hoping I don’t start a fire

[@laurentiu.panait2536]

I Immediately subbed because I saw you doing it the right way with a sandblaster and because you use the same deadman valve as mine. I'm glad seeing someone olse using it too. One tip: put the air compressor on a piece of plywood and stuck up against the sandblasting pot in order for the comp to shake the media down at the botyom of the pickup

[@sansberlin]

Appreciate it man, thanks for the tip!

Thank you very much sir

[@smallMarsh]

fuck yea, love seeing progress on this build!

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man!

[@adeniyas]

Just caught this in my feed…love the old Corollas (TE27s esp.) Be careful with flash rust as we try to have a coating on everything within 24hrs (12 is ideal). High zinc primer would also be a good route to go for long term protection (with a top coat & undercoating). You would have benefitted that “dryer board” by using brass but the concept is solid; autodrains are also fairly cheap and you can pull a few to support your system for $30-$40 each off of Amazon/EBay. Lastly, more than likely the amount of media making it through your nozzle is substantially lower on the more aggressive material subsequently you’re getting slower cut rates; would (may) be difficult to tell by just observing/looking at it (measure media consumption over set times with both). Keep up the good work!

[@sansberlin]

Thank you for this, this is really great advice. It did start rusting near the back of the car and I coated it in a little WD40, it seems to have stopped for now. The zinc primer undercoat seems like a good way to go, I’ll do some research. After the coating I’ve seen people do the raptor bedliner, any experience with that? The worker at Home Depot told me I should get brass due to rust, I naively said “it’s for air, it won’t rust”…now it’s starting to rust. I’ll take all this knowledge to the next build

[@chowchow2386]

A trick i picked up along the way is to put bolts and nuts back in place wherever/whenever possible. This cuts down on remembering and potential loss of hardware. 😊

Thank you for these videos. Just found them. Picked up a 79 liftback a couple months ago

[@crixtus]

pro painting tip: use a brush to do a few stripe coats on seams, fixtures and hard to reach areas BEFORE actual spray painting. Usual caveats of proper surface preparation apply. Saves you time on touching up missed areas after spraying. The stripe coat serves 2 purposes: 1. it build up paint thickness in areas prone to low paint application and it serves as insurance that hard to reach areas by spray is covered by paint. If you don't do the stripe coats, might as well have not bothered to do a full blast on the chassis.

[@sansberlin]

Really really great advice, thank you! Any tips on the flexible tabs that hold the fuel and brake lines in place? Will I need a more flexible paint?

[@rgc1961]

@@sansberlin Stop bending them back and forth! Each bend weakens the metal and they will soon break off.

[@crixtus]

@@sansberlin the bendy tabs are structurally compromised once bent and are prone to fatigue failure if manipulated too often. If the tabs are salvageable and serviceable, a zinc based primer brush applied is probably your best choice for corrosion protection without having to further worry of paint cracking off. Remove all existing paint and contaminants as best you can to bare metal (DO NOT MIRROR polish) and brush on the zinc based primer. Ensure minimum and maximum overcoating intervals are observed as per manufacturer's recommendations. Usual surface prep caveats apply. If corroded, apply rust converter, and anti-rust primer and dont let OCD take over. Or just replace with fresh tabs if viable. Probably the best option and least tedious is looking into existence of the aftermarket parts and accessories that have screw-on or rivet on line holders to replace the factory intended single use tabs.

[@mazenschnefeldt5077]

Great work! Learning to weld is fun, just start off in areas that aren't critical. Small patchwork and so. Having the car on it's side makes welding so much easier. I had to weld in the rear wheel wells with the car up on jackstands, that was no fun. The video of that is on my channel. Good luck!

[@Saul1337Ftw]

Looking great so far, I think the tent was a really good move to contain the dust and sand. Really make sure you wear gloves when grinding or using anything that vibrates and or puts pressure on your hands and wrist, vibrations will ruin your life. I have carpal tunnel from this type of work and it isn't fun, nowadays I can't really tension my hands for a long while without it getting painful. Now I do 10 mins of work, a short 5 min break and then 10 mins of work. Other than that just like many others, very excited to see where this is going. I wasn't familiar with this Toyota corolla but I do really like the look of it. Keep up the good work Joel.

[@sansberlin]

Very very interesting, thank you for sharing this. When my hands started going numb, I googled it and it said this should happen after long exposure, months, years. The google self diagnosis can be scary. The pills are working so far, and I don’t plan on doing this often so hopefully it clears up. Sorry that you had to go through it.

[@Saul1337Ftw]

@@sansberlin Exposed myself to it for 3 years because I was young dumb and had the ''YA GOTTA KEEP GOING YEHAW'' mindset : ') I always suggest, when working on cars or doing garden work etc make sure you give your wrists time to recover and don't think that vibrations or hitting things hard won't hurt you.

Another cheap thing you can do for dry air is an ice bucket after cooler.

[@ray5961]

For your limited skill set, this is quite an impressive project you have under taken. Hat's off to you. Sheet metal repair / welding is fun to learn. Basically you'll need a MIG welder. I have a friend who does sheet metal fabrication / repair on high end exotics and very old classic cars where sometimes parts just aren't available. I remember one time I dropped by his shop and was watching him make a door for this really old Porsche from scratch basically. He told me (and this was back in the 90's) this is gonna end up being a $3400 door. I remember he was doing many, many small "spot" MIG welds along the metal seams. He's pop the MIG on/off and do a quick tiny spot. Move along do a couple more. Then jump to another spot and do some more. He explained he had to move around to keep from heat soaking the panel. I'm sure there are plenty of KZbin videos how about how to do it. Try to find yourself a MIG welder that allows infinite adjustment on both the wire feed rate as well as the amps - newer ones sometimes have notches or preset levels. I have a very old MIG by Lincoln that allows for variable adjustment through the entire range and more than one guy has commented that "those older machines with the full range adjustment" are the best. When it comes to electrical wiring, do you know how to solder and use heat shrink tubing and all that? I redid the entire wiring harness on my 1990 Toyota Pickup; you can see some of it on my channel.. but if you want some info, feel free to email me directly using the address in the channel about tab. I can maybe dig up some links to some of the high heat rubberized sheathing I used, as well as some of the specific expanding tube that worked well for me. Also, you might wanna check ebay to see if you can find the original Toyota electrical manual for this car. At least or my 1990 pickup, they provided a specific electrical manual which covers everything wiring / electronics on the truck. It's super in depth... it shows each individual connector, the specific pin numbers, the wire colors, everything. When I took my truck all apart and re-did all the wiring, that manual helped me figure out what wire went where and what wire did what.. also when I had to re-pin broken connectors, I was able to figure out which pin went where. Not sure if you are gonna find one clear back for 1972, but here's an example of one from 1983 that might be similar in some areas) www.ebay.com/itm/404175251555

[@sansberlin]

I did pick up an decent MIG and a bottle of gas, this weekend I’m going to figure it all out and do some samples before hand. I’ve been watching a lot of videos and saw much of the same, spread the heat around and start with tac welds. I have an old 72 manual, but because this car was already modified, the wiring diagrams won’t be of much use. The car was running before, so all I’m hoping for is cleaning the wires up, upgrading grounds, sealing the connectors etc, there’s been some great videos out there explaining it simply

Great to follow you and your willingness to tackle anything in front of your viewing audience. On sandblasting stay away from it unless you are experienced. It heats up the metal quickly and staying too long in one area is a disaster. You can get away with it on the bottom but do use glass media blasting if doing the body. I figure you drew schematics of the wiring off camera. Keep entertaining us guys. You are inspirational.

[@jimanderson4965]

Binged my way up to date on this series on the weekend. Great stuff! I really appreciate you working through all this stuff much like many of us do. An added bonus for me is seeing you do this with equipment and supplies available in BC - it can get frustrating watching US-based KZbinrs who order stuff like crazy from suppliers that would never ever be available in Canada. Looking forward to following along!

Wiring is super easy if you just isolate the different systems and do them one by one. A big rats nest can be intimidating but taking it slow and not doing everything at once makes it a breeze.

[@iandwayne5133]

[@alextheromanian]

i heard people say, "do your best, grind the rest." when it comes to welding. i practiced on some spare junk i had before learinign on the car. experimented with trying to fill holes, with trying to weld different thicknesses. i think the hardest was to get used to not welding a long line all at once.

[@sansberlin]

Now that i've started welding....I understand that quote. I did a few sample welds on some new material and it worked great.....but when I got to the car, the old sheet metal melted like butter. I've resorted to doing tack welding on the thin sheet metal so far.

[@garymallard4699]

Knowing all the parts and how to work on them makes a project easy.... wiring isn't Rocket Science...even Rocket Science takes knowledge and education and experience.... make drawings of where parts are on your vehicle ( take pictures ) and mark every wire and what it goes to ( some are obvious based on connectors but best to label everything and not worry...even guys who do this daily can use help on the layout..but they usually can figure it out by just starting at one connector and laying it out pretty well gets most of it lined up...one step gets you moving and each step closer to the end .. when i started working on vehicles 50+ years ago it seems overwhelming but i soon found just relaxing and not over thinking things gets you going better at a task... everything is simple if you understand that it really is that way... same with repairs..i break it into simple steps and start with the basics..eliminating what is ok or finding an issue to repair ( sometimes unrelated to my real problem but you gotta fix what is broken and retest )..

[@WorldRevolution-ln9rw]

wow , ingenious roller

[@DrFiero]

Great idea on the canopy too BTW. They're usually way cheaper than the whole tent ones, then a roll of vapor barrier will make great sides (it's about 20x thicker than your shrink wrap! haha). I'll be in Van in about a month... If you're working on this first week of august I'll come give you a hand!

[@jebidiahcarlyon3543]

This is a really sweet project. It seems like you really enjoyed this work. I think there is a lot to be said for just sending the chassis for a chemical bath. Im not sure what is available to you, but sandblasting will let you down where you can't reach. It also and will make the metal easier to blow holes in, especially if you're a weak welder. Walnuts or bakingsoda are other "blasting" methods that leave you with more metal to work with, non-abrasive.

honestly, that's not a half-bad result and the makeshift booth did great. that was probably a lot of manual labor, but it was definitely worth it (now that it's over)

Pictures and a wiring manual is your friend when it comes to the harnesses, but I can totally understand your anxiety. Also, I'd highly recommend a coupler of packets of cheap goggles (like $3 for 3 at Harbor Freight) and some tape to cover the breather holes in the goggles instead of the included hood for blasting next time. May not fit with your respirator though; I use 3M N95 masks to fit them better. Basically once they are pitted, grab another pair of goggles after about 30 mins of blasting

Awesome job! Love this project. Also they make anti vibration gloves

[@sansberlin]

,,,,gonna look into that, thanks!

Pretty solid car underneath considering the age - great find and will look great when it's done. Had a chance to buy one of these along with a Lancer of similar age at a "proceeds of crime" auction but I blew it and the cars ended up selling really cheap too, much regret lol.

Love these videos ypur doing great bro, one thing you should have done before removing the wiring is lavel it like you did the brake lines, and maybe next time try remove as much of the parts as a whole, saves having heaps of little parts laying around and makes for easier to remember where it goes, but each to their own really. Maybe get some wire wrap too, would help clean up and protect the wiring on reassemble

[@sansberlin]

You’re right, I got a few labels in on my engine removal video. But I’m hoping the video log as well as the simplicity of these wires will help

Your Canadian accent is really coming through in this episode

[@sansberlin]

Accent?!

[@gooondie]

@@sansberlinhaha the way you say “process” and “project” is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever heard

Just a tip when using the sandblaster always wear long sleeve because the blast media can get imbedded into your skin and it won’t come out.

[@syachazriel]

Damn, I just commented on your previous video that I was waiting for your next vid, and this happened

[@sansberlin]

Right on time

[@joseg93ify]

Love the videos

[@greatdane3343]

Love your turnover fixture 👌

[@E67CHope]

Can you do a full video on what all is needed and recommend to get the results you had gotten?

[@sansberlin]

I have a video on the sandblasting setup, should cover most of it 👌🏻

[@alastairwatson3201]

Great work! Word of advice, though: Learn basic 12 volt electrics and how to read wiring diagrams. If you don’t sort your wiring, you run the risk of really tedious breakdowns and, worse, potential fires.

[@sansberlin]

There will be a lot of late night studying. It's already making a little more sense to me. I'm sure when I finally have to put it all together it'll be a little easier

[@alastairwatson3201]

You’ll get there. I did. Not so hard once you get the basics.
