Will A New Carb Get My CJ7 Running?
Long overdue my CJ7 needs a new carburetor...badly. While we're out it let's address the valve cover and gasket that I've already changed and simplify the vacuum system. Will it run?

When you own four cars well over 100k miles each including two daily drivers you become a slave to them. Fortunately most of today's videos are quick fixes and the 911 is the best running of the bunch.

Bisimoto Pulse Chamber Exhaust Installation and Review
Looks great. Orange peel expected if not wet sanded. Maaco offers color wet sand for extra and definitely worth it on Mercedes 040 black. Would have let them keep it another week to finish.
It's "orange peel."
The car needs to be cut and buffed. Wet sand and polish it. I had really good results getting single stage polyurethane from Maaco, but I also sanded, primed and sealed the car myself. Prep is key to any paint job. Cut and buff and it will look way better.
I don't know why you didn't put what year your Porsche is?? 😢
Sorry man it’s not my first video with the 911 but it’s a 1987.
Looks like my 2019 jetta's oem paint. And i love it i might actually go with maaco to change the color
what you expect from maaco? for a $1k ? why would anyone that cared about a car take it to maaco, and the other channel u talking about i also a lop taking a lambo there what a poser
$1200 you got what you paid for
What you have is orange peel. that has nothing to do with the surface. it’s the way they sprayed it, but it can be fixed sanded and polished out as long as there’s enough clear on it. The reason the side panels have it more than the hood is because of gravity. The weight of the paint if you put it on too heavy, will create that I’m with you though I would not have been happy seeing those results.
The texture shows, that it wasn't polished enough.
Looks the same
You get what you pay for kid, lol
Wow! You made the right move by having Concorso detailing provide you with what you were looking for. This Mercedes E55 now looks amazing.
For $1000, this looks good. I would be satisfied with this for that price. As I have said previously, if I wanted my automotive painted to showroom condition, Maaco is not where I would take it. I have personally never had an automotive that I desired to do that with.
Nowhere in the world will you get a down to the metal paint job for $1200.
If it sounds too good to be true…
finna be alot of lines
Why not use wrap instead
Cuz wraps are more expensive and they are not easy to install u need to be patient when installing them or you'll fuck up
I’m far from a professional and f’d up the plastidip enough I don’t think I would do so hot on the vinyl wrap but maybe worth a shot. Certainly would be less prep work.
wasting all that time for some goofy as* sh*t feel bad if you got a lady lmaoooo 😂
Ain't even gone lie I thought you was putting ads all over your car for a sec lol😂
I thought it was a score board of all the things he hit
Amazing results
Lovely cars these SLKs: reliable, very quick off the mark and not expensive to run - brilliant cruising cars! Plus they look amazing with the outward McLaren SLR body lines, and the vario convertible roof is a brilliant 'Transformer' type gadget indeed. I have the same 2006 R171 model in black, for 4 years now as my daily driver with 85k on the clock. Best car I've owned, honestly - I'm smitten with it (then again, I'm easy to please and tend to be more of a cyclist - enjoying 2 wheels more than 4). BUT for a car, its a real head turner. I think along with the SLK 55AMG, the R171 SLK are the best looking of the SLK & SLC models made. Then, that's just my silly opinion.
It's not too bad but not worth that price.
Wet sand with 2000 then 3000 then 5000 and polish the shit out of it after
Needs to 1500 wet and buff.
It’s very cheap to repair a w163 the engine and trans is nice
You gotta wet sand that whole car (minus the hood) bro, wet sand , buff, and some good ‘Ol fashioned elbow grease!!!
Damn.. you ask for eggshell?
That's called orange peel. Painter and preps fault.
ah yes the famous Mako orange peel
This car was done At a Maaco Facility in Addison, Texas but i can tell by the Video but location is closed down for good now.
Asking a lot for 1000 or 1200 for some orange peal, Looks good. I know I will give them a chance for that Money, maybe the 2500 dollar upgrade.
You could get that looking perfect for a few hours of your time and some sandpaper.
I don’t know where you took your car , I have little 2013 Mercedes GLK 350 and Macco estimated $3,000 to paint it …
No way they strip the paint and start from scratch on the $2500 option.
over paid for shotty job 😂😂😂 small body shop would done a better job for way less. that's why you should always get the cheapest paint job first to check out there work before getting expensive paint job.just my 2cents from former painter.
cheaper ? how , using a Rustoleum and a paint brush ??? 😂😂😂
@@damirzanne got rip off a motherfocker 😂😂😂😂💯
At $1200 bucks you get what you pay for.😮
It has a mild orange peel finish. Not right.
Looks like a $99.95 Earl Schibe paint job
Tony kilt it!!! That man is a master at his craft…..i wish i was closer to texas id bring him my cls550 i just resprayed…..
Great presentation!
Looks good for 1200 what do you expect lol just cut wet sand buff it and it will look better aswell
What do you expect for that kind of money
Orange peel
Turned out, really good.
Depending on how much clearnis on the car, you can cut and buff it. It will look better. $1200.00 will not get a stripped and painted car. Even 3K for that would be a stretch today.
Don't be a whiner.
Stop complaining what do you expect from $1000 paint job whine whine whine complain
Looks good all you have to do polish the car will look like new to much drama for a paint job its 1200 what also you want 🤦
Orange 🍊 peel...
There's no excuse for orangepeal like that. My $69.99 Earl Scheib paint Job looked great for about 3 weeks until the sun changed the color. That was the 1982 price.
