MX5 Rust Repairs - Welding In New Metal. Front Arches, Wing, Wheel Well
My MX5 failed it's MOT because of corrosion, I could either scrap the car, pay big bucks for a bodyshop to fix it, or I could buy a welding machine and learn how to patch up car panels myself.
It soon became apparent that there were many more rust holes and areas in need of rust treatment than I was expecting. The wing/fender, the inner arch/wheel well, crash bar and floorpan all have areas of corrosion.
This is my first experience welding and properly repairing rusty car panels, so obviously nothing in this video should be taken as advice, you are just watching me work on my car.

Replacing a Noisy Alternator - Honda Civic Aerodeck d15
zhlédnutí 2,3KPřed 2 lety
The alternator pulley bearing was starting to make a nasty noise in the engine bay of the Civic Aerodeck, so I replace it with a reconditioned unit. There is actually hardly any room to remove the alternator, you can't remove it from under the car so it has to come out the top through a mess of wires and pipes. This wasn't such a bad thing though because I got a chance to give it a good clean i...

zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 2 lety
I try to fix the floppy gear shifter in my Honda Civic Aerodeck. In this video I remove the gear linkage and refurbish it, also fitting a new oil seal, gear linkage boot and bitch pin. The gear shift is almost like new now, I hope you join me for the video.
Civic Aerodeck GEAR SHIFTER REFURB - Part 1 - Stabilizer Bushes
zhlédnutí 1,9KPřed 2 lety
I try to fix the floppy gear shifter in my Honda Civic Aerodeck. The gear stick is extremely loose and has a lot of play when in gear. So I bought some polyurethane bushes for the the gear shifter stabilizer bar and fit them in this video, but as always, things aren't straight forward.

How To Replace Outer Track / Tie Rod Ends - Vauxhall Combo / Corsa C

The good news is, they are quite easy to access and the removal and refit process is simple. The bad news - its hard work and some brute strength may be needed. Also.. you will need to get you wheels ali...

Restoring Rusty Car Window Trim on my Honda Civic MB
zhlédnutí 10KPřed 2 lety
The rubber moulding on the window trims of my Aerodeck is flaking and peeling away, showing the rusty chrome underneath and making the Civic look terrible. Instead of spending 100's on new window trims from Honda, I restore them in the cheapest way possible. In this video I show you how to remove, restore, and refit old flakey, peeling, rusty car window trim.
Fitting New Rear BRAKE DISCS and PADS to the CIVIC AERODECK
zhlédnutí 760Před 2 lety
I show you how to replace the rear brake discs and pads on a Honda Civic MB9 Aerodeck. The rear brakes are making a terrible noise an are binding on, so I replace the discs and pads and refresh the calipers a bit. I used Eicher brake discs and Brembo brake pads. Although this is filmed on a Civic Aerodeck the job will be similar (if not the same) for all Civic MB's and Rover 45.
Fitting a Cheap REMOTE CENTRAL LOCKING KIT to my MAZDA MX5

This video should be useful for how to fit this kit to any old car as the process is the same, just that the trim removal is specific to an MX5/Miata (obviously). Heres a link to the Central Locking Ki...

FPM Crash / Jacking Bar Install MX5
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed 3 lety
I install an FPM Crash bar / Jacking Bar to my MX5. I usually jack up the rear of the car using the differential case (which is fine) but its a pain to get a jack under the exhaust back box to reach the diff. So this crash/jacking bar from FPM should make jacking up the mx5 a lot easier. www.fpmgarage.co.uk/product-page/mx5-mk2-mk2-5-crash-bar

    Nice job and looks good, but the rusted rocker panels...wow, you need to get them replaced. Anyway, last year I bought an OEM rear spoiler and front and rear splash guards. I had the spoiler installed then and am having the splash guards installed this week when my 2006 Miata NC goes in for a service after just taking it out of winter storage, can hardly wait to see them installed.

    3:43 ''smooth inside of the box'' i don't think is good, the design from the factory was in purspose for sound resonating and controlled air turbulance, if you make the air filter 100% smooth like a compact plastic cube the results are unpredictable and you (and me) have not the proper equipment to measure the results. The mechanical engineers from the factory know far better from us at this point.
