1972 Toyota Corolla: Driveshaft Restoration

[@snark_]

WE ARE SO BACK

[@sansberlin]

oh we're just getting started.

[@MrThestevster]

Joel Laurino doubters are on suicide watch rn. Trust the plan. The deepstate can't keep this guy down.

[@said27072]

love this proyect, thanks for putting so much dedication into this

[@sansberlin]

appreciate it man, in the end I want to drive it, so i'm trying my best

[@boonpatrol]

Would just like to point out that the background playlist through these (soft Country, Jorge Ben, Ram, etc.) has been fantastic. Hope the process has been enjoyable and that the finished product turns out slick

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man, variety is the spice of life, so listening to the tunes while working on the car is just a blast.

[@skogenfjr7035]

These videos are fantastic because it's clearly a passion project with great care taken; easily my favourite build/restoration to watch

[@sansberlin]

Huge compliment, and I’m just super thankful people are interested in watching me attempt this

[@kingnull2697]

I wouldn't worry about scuffing the parts too much as long as the finish doesn't expose bare metal, they're going on the car & cars are meant to be driven. They'll be scuffed sooner or later. Really appreciate you showing how little effort a "high-effort" restoration can take with some patience. I've completely lost track of where we are in the build now though.

[@sansberlin]

Appreciate this man. I try to keep it as genuine as possible, but the power of editing takes a lot of the “high effort” out. A lot of these individual 3 second clips are actually 20 mins of me frustrated.

[@kingnull2697]

@@sansberlin I just assume every video is a month or 2 of weekends worth of footage

[@jimcabezola3051]

Nope! YOU are the "Toyota...Corolla...Superstar!" Not that other clown in the song. YOU, man! 👍🤙

[@sansberlin]

Haha thank you! I agree, quite a sad song

[@perrybrown32322]

@@sansberlin do I hear a theme song on the way?!

[@PaintedSky]

Love this series, and it's so satsifying to see those powder coated parts brought back to life. It's gonna be so amazing once this is all done and you've got a car that you've personally torn down and restored/rebuilt piece-by-piece, something that is in tip-top shape due to your own efforts. Can't wait for the next one.

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man, I await the day when I park, walk away, and look back just to see it parked.

[@mottobc]

Thanks you for your time to share with us.

[@sansberlin]

Thank you for your time watching what i've shared

[@chesmari]

Nice, you’re able to use the Toyota Corolla song!! Looking great Joel!!

[@sansberlin]

Someone in the comments told me about it last video, it's so great....but i'm pretty sure he kills himself at the end of the song

[@gideonvanniekerk4252]

This did not appear in my feed by the way - despite the fact that I am subscribed!

[@sansberlin]

Mmmm strange, but I don’t think I see all my subscriptions all the time either, so no conspiracy here

[@PracticalRecycling101]

I really need a sand blaster in my life. It looks satisfying.

[@sansberlin]

It’s the single best purchase I’ve made. But you need a big air compressor

[@abrahamcervantes5799]

This is crazy, I just finished catching up with this series yesterday.

[@sansberlin]

Ya, we’re gonna keep the train rollin

[@ArtOfCappery]

Lookin forward to seeing the next step!

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man! Should be finished up this weekend 👌🏻

[@minty4329]

Glad so see this build still going and not forgotten!

[@sansberlin]

Not forgotten, going to try and go hard for the next few months to get all the parts done

[@01FozzyS]

Welcome back,Joe! Nice to see an update!

[@sansberlin]

Thanks man, had one just a few weeks back too!

[@01FozzyS]

@@sansberlin Shoot missed that one! Thx for the reminder,Joel.

[@GuntanksInSpace]

Love seeing this project truck along! Good luck with the brakes!

[@sansberlin]

Appreciate it, and thank you!

Nice work. Thanks for sharing!

[@sansberlin]

Anytime man

[@sahaaf7563]

Great videos buddy

[@Jossy.mp4]

Amazing video, Sir! I've been following on your project for a while now, and I was wondering where do you search to gain knowledge on a very niche project car like the corolla, and how do you source the spare parts?

[@sansberlin]

Good question.. The car is really simple to work on, so 90 percent of youtube videos about any part of the restoration, in this case restoring a driveshaft, were the same process. The 10 percent that is specific to only this car I usually find answers in the original repair manual that i found on eBay. Many of the parts I've found easily on RockAuto, best site ever, but on more niche parts I've joined a Facebook group for TE27 owners, I tracked down the original camshafts from Greece that way. There's a site called Toy Head Auto, they have some parts. 3rd party parts can be found at Techno Toys Tuning, but that's more racing oriented. and of course eBay, there's a big following in southeast Asia for this car, so lots of parts, and cheap!

[@d-anger-noodle]

Put Toyota Corolla Superstar on a continuous loop ❤

[@sansberlin]

If they gave me the rights I would, I’m lucky to get away with the little clips. Love the song!

[@thelittlegremlin6859]

Keep on keeping on👍

@@sansberlin yesss

[@jellolon8435]

about the hose failure. Maybe cut the blown through part off and turn it around, maybe dont do that. Depends on the damage. Nice vid

[@MarioGomez-kj5bc]

I´m the thousandth like, how exciting!

[@Alcalfa]

You don't need the ball joint press, a bench vise works fine with some sockets.

[@sansberlin]

I was using that a lot in the previous video, I suppose the same idea as a dedicated press but without the hydraulic

[@EasyFlows]

Joel am I hearing Det Läcker - Dina Ögon at 2:00 ? How do you have such good taste in music and can we get your spotify lists??? :D

[@sansberlin]

Good ear, that is Dina Ogon, that whole album is fantastic, thanks man. Spotify link in the description, I need to add these new songs

[@EasyFlows]

​@@sansberlinmuch obliged! I can recommend the band Amason if you're in the mood for more Swedish pop. Love the corolla series btw!

[@dariuscarter5758]

i don't think i have ever seen a greyer grey than that drive shaft

[@sansberlin]

I prefer it over rusty brown

[@_Keir]

I loved LOST

[@sansberlin]

I’m gonna rewatch, was so fun

[@ToastyCornFlakes]

"It was such a pain I just cut it off" yep

[@sansberlin]

A reoccurring theme it seems

[@ToastyCornFlakes]

@@sansberlin Living in the northeast and having many different project cars it really does become a ritual. Try to remove part, part doesn't come off. Try again, part still doesn't come off. Think for 5 minutes, then decide to just cut it off.

[@benturner-mann5786]

Looked like it was tight in the directions the end bits that got powder coated go, 🤔 maybe powder coating built up a layer in some spots?

[@Sean-Ax]

song at 6:34 ? Sounds like Death. I need a track listing for these videos. lol (jk you don't actually have to; that's probably alot to go through all these assorted snippets.)

[@sansberlin]

That’s not a bad idea actually. Would take a while. It is Death, most likely on the Leprosy Album, can’t remember the song

JOel POSTED YEAh

[@sansberlin]

Yeee boi

[@scalyscallion]

That ending caught me off guard but…yeah you kinda are

[@sansberlin]

Should start by calling everyone my neighbour (Ned Flanders too?)

[@tahipiripi314]

As much as I appreciate a full restoration I would want new brakes for safety

[@sansberlin]

I agree on the safety, all the parts will be new, and I try to do as much research as possible to implement tried and true methods, not me winging it. I’ll have the car inspected before driving as well.

Updated, hopefully working on your end. Thanks for looking out man

[@Tails2091]

might want to blur the Amazon box for the new hose in youtube studio...

[@azmadikfrog]

Was just gonna make a comment about that lol. It's VERY legible.

Thanks for this, currently updating in studio with a blur. Write me 👌🏻

@@sansberlin haha, I didn't mark anything down, just wanted to let you know incase there WERE weirdos.

@@Tails2091 It's updated, i'll look out for that more often, big thanks again. Ya luckily we're 99% dudes that just like cars. Stories I hear of female influencers who get weirdo's tracking them down, showing up at their door, absolutely nuts.

[@kingnull2697]

@@sansberlin Fair warning, most visual effects (Gaussian) blurs are not destructive enough to stop people from making out the original if they reverse the process. Black boxes are guaranteed destruction.

[@SmokedHam444]

Please wear a respirator while painting :))

[@EnduringGuerila]

DRIVESHAFT BALANCE: I was hoping you marked your driveshaft to put it back in the same orientation for balance but then you painted it so the balance is likely ruined anyway...

[@sansberlin]

If all fails I’ll go to a professional 👌🏻

[@simon_1987]

Just use heat instead of cutting everything

[@sansberlin]

When these are installed they're done one cap at a time, same with disassembly, it was just a headache to put it back through the same hole, and the parts were being thrown out anyways. There were many instances of using heat in previous episodes where I kept the parts. Thanks man
