Thank goodness it's got the original number plates front and back...
Just started my channel where I take trucks into the mountains and break em. I wanna make some people laugh.
McLarenBMW that sounds
an awful lot like murder
@@foofferdejager6497 HEY! That's just murder with extra steps!
@McLarenBMW 😂😂😂
Well worth going to your main franchise dealer and buying a fresh pair of plates when it's time to sell that shiny turd, bog filled shed, sat in the yard under an old tarp!
It's not rust, It' s weight reduction 😂
maros vranak that’s what I was thinking
Have Autoglym asked for their money back??? 😁😂😮
I have a Ka and that is exactly what I say
*organic weight reduction
Blows my mind how clean the car looks from the outside with that much rust.
She hides it very very well
Ford life rot like shit underneath
yeah, I was curious about getting one of these and now I'm thinking I might want to have it up on a lift before buying haha
Conspiracy theory: They knew about/had discovered the rust beforehand, but acted like they didn't know about it so they could do the autoglym ad first, THEN write off the car.
Car guys who make a living from buying/selling/talking about/writing about/working on cars, being guided by a lifelong car dealer who has seen every trick in the book, and they don't spot that a notoriously rusty car bought from a Facebook marketplace driveway trader is riddled with rust? Seems legit.
My thoughts exactly.
Content is content, especially the content that writes itself
100% bro, made for a much more interesting video haha
If they did they wouldnt of put new tyres on before hand

That was like a giant Autoglym ad and I still didn't mind
I barely minded in the first place but then it turns out their cleaning products are actually cheap af.
£18.00 for all three is amazing
I never mind ads if it still makes for entertaining content
@@060steve 3 years ago I bought Turtlewax Zip Wax 5ltr jug and it's only just half used. Cost then was £7 today it's £10.
Snow foam is a gimmick. You still have to physically wash it with a sponge or mit.
Also to have to unwind, plug in, connect water for the pressure washer each time is a faff.
I can wash the whole car in 15mins with a bucket of warm water, a sponge, and a capful of Turtlewax Zip Wax mixed in.
@@steve0680657 you'll scratch your car with more ease if you just go with the sponge and water; quite likely it won't get rid of the baked-in crud either
@@laurikotila5813 been doing it for 15 years. No "baked in crud" and no scratches.
"baked in crud" is another salesman line. I haven't put my car in an oven.
The savage garage: Rusty ford

Me wondering what car to get next: Probably not a ford
Live in Australia, the land where cars don't rust, (not very easily anyway) my ford failed an inspection due to some sill rust.... its a 97.
@@brodielounder268 dude I've seen 3 years old Fords with some rust spots on doors,wheel arches , trunk and bonnet edges...
They are making them out of shitolinum or something...
FORD: Fucked On Race Day.
@@fila1445 If they're rusting it's more likely because they aren't putting enough paint on the steel. Even stainless rusts outside.
Amaranthine you’re right. Fords have always been known for thin paint, hence the rust
I love what it's MOT report says, considering it only passed a few weeks ago:
"Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
Nearside Front Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i))
Offside Front Subframe mounting prescribed area is corroded but not considered excessive (5.3.6 (a) (i))"
🤣
That 100% wasn't a legit MOT
You can't fail what you can't see I'm afraid.
MOT tests should have "testers notes" on the end as a new section. IF they've knowledge of certain cars like old Fords being rustboxes they can write it on there in an 'official manner' as a personal advisory to the owner but absolutely nothing to do with the Gov and Gov doesn't even see that section when the MOT is filed. Obvs this could be heavily abused but I'm a nobody with no idea how that sort of idea would work or if it'd even work at all.
@@dylandajhharwood5566 not a bad idea.
It failed the last MOT for excessive rust and corrosion
Wonder how it passed the second time
Parting out the car would be an interesting episode.
i wish there was more videos about parting
Not really take parts off a car for a video, if you use your keyboard they’ll be thousands of videos
"In the next episode we are parting out a human body!"
@@matthewcooper9445 ok you know better as always
Yes please.
“It’s looking more like a 350Z with every blast” sounds like the automotive equivalent of beer googles.

Please check the car modification video below👇🏻
czcams.com/video/QGLbAvS_TPY/video.html
As a 350z owner I'm offended
i feel like they new it was rusty af before they cleaned it , because no one in they right mind cleans the car before they do the repairs
and you should never clean the engine (bay), if you plan to sell your car.
@@MegaSockenschuss that's what I was thinking. A clean engine bay is a bad sign there's probably an oil leak or something, which I'm pretty sure I heard from another CarThrottle video
@@slipperyfish7560 Ohh, thanks for that. Didn't know it
Unless your video is sponsored by AutoGlym

Making some tea while waiting for the weather to improve is the most British thing ever.
I find it kind of hilarious that the one time they satisfy Ethan's desire for getting a Street KA, it's a bloody death trap.
@Dee Jay Allright, Calm down. We don't need your personal car history.
@Dee Jay I never gave my opinion on a Street Ka.

You could have kept a late-90s/early-2000s Ford in a hermetically-sealed bag for the past 20 years and it'd still be a bag of rust by now.

I watch your shows every Saturday morning. It's easily the best car show going! Keep up the great work! Love the down to earth nature of it. A car show for normal people!
I’m really low in my life atm. And watching your videos makes me happy
oof
Hope you are doing okay
All the autoglym products shown here are worth more than the damn StreetKa 😂
Edit: My bad, said SportKa, not StreetKa :D
StreetKa!

@@s4n714g000 lots of us do and those who dont are peasants. Water is disgusting! Fish have sex in it and poo in it. So it should only be used to make tea or coffee if you are American 😁
baboon I mean with some people you’re not wrong.
Wow, That's been an eye opener. I was considering buying a Street KA thinking the convertables were better made than the normal KA. How wrong could i of been. Its videos like this that show you the truth, combined with great entertainment 👍👍
This is giving me inspiration for my channel!!! Keep up the great work 👍
You guys did everything in reverse 😂 working from down to top, exterior then interior, detailing before mechanics!
They had a sponsor who relied on them detailing it. You wouldn't detail a rust bucket if you get my drift...
Well i mean when washing, you should always work bottom to top. Applying and removing foam is most effective when applied and removed working from bottom to top.
@Dee Jay Aww, did that make you feel a little less insecure big man? Good for you.
“From rust to richies”. Seeing what it’s worth as parts, great alloys

By the way I'm really happy that Alex pronounced the StreetKa name correctly. This was a great video!
StreetKA does have its charm. With all the small niggles, I feel like slowly rebuilding every part of the car. I just professionally cleaned the drains and treated the seals on my StreetKA, now the knock has just started - next project. Considering remapping the ECU if the small projects ever come to an end.
KA with a rust problem? Now there's a surprise! 😂
Is the welding video next?
This is the No1 area the Street Ka's rot. Suprised they never checked.
You call this RUST? Buy an E30! You will then see real RUST, when you can't lift the car from the ground, because the jacking points are long gone with the seals, so you lift it from the beam where the a-arms mount, and the beam cracks, then the car can't even move, because the A-arm is now not attached to anything :D That's the E30 I bought and am restoring.... Oh, and no floor in the trunk, no floor in the front too! Its a great start, because I can do everything from scratch, instead of fixing the original, like patching the sheet metal, and cutting and grinding, and wirewheel everything :D A fun project car!

Watching people detail a car is oddly satisfying. A bit inspirational too.
2:26 ....Did I just see a car guy do circular movements when cleaning a car?
Glad someone noticed !!!
Wax on - Wax off
Thumbii been searching for this comment. I’m as shocked as you 😮😂
Key words here "Car Guy"...Not "OCD Detailing Guy"
I am quite ocd but I prefer my swirl marks swirled rather than fine straight scratches so will continue to use circular motions.
I bet they started to fix it and were planning to clean it at the end, but realized its too rusty and then decided to reshoot with cleaning it first, as they already had the sponsorship.
Good point.
Always found Autoglym to be the best formulations. This video is a great example of what one can do. Not only restorative products but a clearn car using the best products creates the right impression in that moment when people first see something. They don't know what it was before you used these products, but what they can see is impressive and gives one to believe the vehicle has been well cared for. Pity I haven't come across any kind of nano coating product from theml. Probably in the pipe.
Alex-“ makes video advising buying used cars” Also Alex-“busy a street ka riddled with rust”
I’d love some rust - as if my defender didn’t have enough already 😂

Looking forward to an update on the money made from selling as parts
Awesome AutoGlym Advert!
My mechanic showed me a Ka that was haunting his place and it literally had more patches than it had floor. Probably the worst rust protected car to inflict the roads since 1970s Fiats and the Lancia Beta.
What about the Alfasuds :D
Well, there are 2000s Chinese cars, they are worse.

Design of Street KA is indeed one of a kind… good take on this episode. It shows there's human element behind Car Trottle!
📛 Hot tip auto glym didn't mention: don't wash or coat in circular motions, that's what causes the circles in paintwork. Go from top to bottom of the panel instead
That's NOT what causes the circles in paint
@@TotoGeenen Any dust and debris in cleaning cloths/sponges, no matter how small, will cause scratches in the clear coat. Those scratches are more noticeable when the car is cleaned using circular motions as opposed to straight up and down motions

Oh...
You should have put some Autoglym vinyl and rubber care on the engine afterward, it makes it look amazing!
Gotta love Autoglym products!
Had exactly the same issue as you guys when I brought a sport KA last year. Did make more than I paid breaking it though so good luck lads
Surely it's not just me who's tried using detailing products on my car and i see no difference after
The difference is more obvious the further gone the paint or the interior is. If your car is always clean there is a difference, but very minor
It really makes little to no difference. A good scrub is all it needs and a decent power washer
I used it almost monthly on a 20 year old car. There was a huge difference.
My car is from 2005. A decent deep clean is all I needed. Tried detailing and it improve things, but really didn't make enough difference to warrant the money
check out car cleaning guru, it's so satisfying, although the cars are usually pretty dirty.
As the great Colin Chapman once said, "simplify, and add oxidation"
You guys should make a Honda Jazz Track car. Would love to see that tbh!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, agitate the dirt, you mean scrub 🤷♂️. Keep it up boys😍👍👌
2:26 Nooo not in circles
Was going good until I saw this. Oof!
Its not a mint example. Its likely the best wash its had regardless
What's wrong with washing in circles? He was even using a wash mitt.
I’d love to meet Alex just to see how short he really is
I have met him, he claims 5ft 7 but he's in the 5ft 4-5ft 5 range.
I recon 5'2 🤣
I met him at the mx5 rally last year, I'm 5.9, Alex was about 2'' shorter according to our bro photo together..:)
He's a solid 5'5
Always guessed 5"4, no way hes above 5"6.

So much for condemning it then.. how the hell did that pass a legit MOT?
