Petrolhead Rebuilds
Великобритания
Добавлен 22 май 2021
Follow me as I repair and restore accident damaged or broken cars.
Welcome to my channel where I am following a passion to rebuild and repair accident damaged vehicles. I have been a petrolhead since a very young age and always push myself to try new things. I hate seeing things go to waste or thrown away before there time. So with that said I am trying something new and buying cars which are damaged or not working with an aim to get them back on the road so they can become useful to someone again.
Yes I am likely to make mistakes and my content will clearly need to improve over time as this is so new to me but if you are willing to join me on this new journey then it would be great to have you along for the ride.
Thanks for watching!

Rebuilding a Copart Car - Fiat 500 - Episode 3 - Chassis is fixed & New Wheels
Well a polybush kit could have been a choice . I would advise never using dish soap (especially fairy) as there are a number of unsuitable ingredients including a lot of salt ! Silicon spray is much friendlier . Every credit to you for saving a perfectly useable run about from the breakers and a useful vid for anyone tackling this job on a budget . Congrats and hope your view count continues upward 👍
Did you fix that wobbly radiator?
I done lots of these subframe bushes they are not easy and bit oh my god what have i done moment but it a sense of achievement after its done and also clutches on these minis as I repair these as my side line I have just brought a 57 plate mini r52 convertible after selling my 03 mini cooper auto the same day 😂 I love the feeling once they are done and someone has driven off in your repaired mini
tidy skills, and that's a ton of work to do a common job on a lot of cars
Well done! Not a particularly easy job changing the suspension on a Mini. Looking forward to more content. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit and upload.
as soon as i saw you using wd40 as penetrant it was time to switch off, use plusgas or similar as you are wasting your time with the water displacer
Thanks for the tip I will order some and give it a go :)
Plusgas for me is a winner!
Another solid video, Sir. We released a portable air pump. Can we invite you to do a review? If so,How can we connect with you?
Yes of course, drop me an email phdrebuild@gmail.com
I did this job last year on my mini. If anyone else is doing this check your subframe while your at it. Mine had a big rot hole in one of the uprights. The drain hole was blocked causing the rot. They are great cars to work on.
Well done, reminded me of myself, out there working on the drive with axle stands and a trolley jack
Good practice to disconnect he battery before you start next time, any banging and clanging around the struts, lower arms, rod ends etc could set off your air bags!
+@bornpompey2 sorry you must have missed the part when I disconnected the battery.
as someone else stated you dont have to completely remove the subframe, just drop the back end down, did mine last year, none the less great video
shit cars Minis
+@davidfoster9013 I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion
Anyone know if those Moog parts are any good. I have had so much bad !uck with suspension parts that wont even make a year.
Regarding the wheel Alinement of your Mini..! The Wheels are supposed to be positioned slightly Toeing Out because as the car is driven...! The Wheels get pushed inwards, more so on fount wheel drive because the off the driving torque of the drive shafts...! Best leave it, as is...! 🤔🤔😇😇👍👍
First time watch of your channel, I thought it was very interesting and useful. One thing I didn’t like was the back ground sound cutting off and on. Well done 😊👍
I could never do a job like that - my wife would kill me if I started taking a car apart on such a tidy block drive......
Is possible to change arms without dropping subfame completely. Drop subframe a few inches enough to remove the long bolts .
I have seen some videos where you can drop the back to give access to do it but the bolts are very tight so it would depend on the access and the ability to get the bolts out. There is also the option to replace the bushes after doing that but you would need more tools to make it possible. I honestly think the cleanest way is to drop the subframe.
Missing your apprentice... Have you got an "ugger dugger" power impact driver and sockets? What about the other MOT advisories? When comparing with WBAC offers don't forget their admin/transaction "fees" which reduce the effective offer value. Remarkably rust free Mini - approaching classic car status - but it's had it's share of MOT defects over the years.
He has been busy with the house move and is now obssessed with the N64 I dug out from the loft. Will tackle the other MOT items in the next video but the MOT centre that was used I will not be using again as they raised issues with the corsa that didn't exist and therefore are not trust worthy. I do have an ugger duuger so will be using that going forward.
Poly bush kit ..done on the car ..an hour a side ..job done ...that was huge amount of work for nothing
If I was keeping the car for me then I 100% agree. However as it is due to be sold I wanted to keep the setup standard and do it OEM :)
Polybushed loads of these, tracking is normally spot on afterwards.
Hi, Can you add the link for the LED number plate lights please?
Sure here is the link... Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! £4.77 | 2pcs Canbus LED License Number Plate Light For Peugeot 107 05-14 For Citroen C1 MK I 05-13 Replace OEM Number 6340E2, 6340 E2 a.aliexpress.com/_EvdqS77
Its a miracle the glove box works 😂
How much is it up for sale for? Last tyre repair I had (small independent tyrefitter) £11. Alpine speakers aren't cheap...
+@thomasfrancis5747 I am thinking £2,495 so will be the cheapest low mileage one on the market.
+@thomasfrancis5747 also got the whole alpine speaker kit for £50 which I think was a good deal as it comes with the wiring harness and the speaker adapters.
I don't use the dab antenna. I use an antenna splitter. Much more clean.
Have you got a link to one so I can have a look? Thanks
nice job
Great video! Who was the guy that did the replacement keys for you?
respect! just bingewatched the last episodes until this one, and the way you talk us through it in combination with your editing and filming, its all a very good and interesting watch :-) greetings from an amateur car-enthousiast in Holland
32 or 33 max fill tyers not 30 meh
I brought an arbath competizione 4 weeks ago..... tomorrow its goin back, its by far the worst car ive ever had, it handles like a foot, its dangerous and its flakey, i paid 13k cash for it and although its a mint example for its 7 years its the most uncomfortable risky drive ive ever had, so tomorrow the dealer takes it back and replaces it with a VW GTI and i cant bloody wait lol sadly it cost me to do as i had narrowly missed the 30 day cut off for returns by only 4 days so ive got to pay to exchange it but to be honest id have traded a kidney to to have swaped it, think very carefully before you waste your money on these cars and if you've got kids dont take them in it cos the handling is tottally unpredictable, i know not everyone will agree with me and thats cool but i just wanted to genltly make any buyers aware of it before wasting their money xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The extras add up, if you're doing it to tinker around then that's cool but just don't overspend. I would keep it original personally, and let the new owner spend the money. Cheap electrics never ends well
Possibly taking too much out of your profit margin with aftermarket accessories, especially if they prove to be unreliable/screw up vehicle electrics.
Nice little run about for someone
Great Cars ... cheap as chips and easy to work on ! Good Choice for quick money 👍
Seems a safe bet. Some can get a bit rusty underneath, Should sell well. Even if you only do oil/filter it's worth checking brake pads, wiper blades, lights, fluid levels, air filter condition, etc. Did you leave George at the scrapyard?
ECP's prices are all over the place, partly so that they can then reduce them on certain items and offer silly amounts of discount. Independent motor factors usually much better.
24.48 " I fixed a thing" 🤣🤣🤣love it 👍
I use parts in motion a lot if I am not in a hurry for the parts
Hey i really love your videos, keep up the good work! ;) just a quick question, where do you get all your torque specs etc. ? Greetings from Germany 😊
Thank you! I normally google search for workshop manuals or failing that look on the forums which are very helpful.
@@PetrolHeadRebuilds Perfect thank you! Currently working on my 2002 Alfa Romeo 156 with the 2.0 jts and can really use some information :D
Brilliant video, subscribed. That abarth looks lovely, and you've done a great job!
Thanks for the sub! Really appreciate that.
Properly enjoy your videos and George is so sweet.
Thank you. I love building cars but don't want to neglect my responsibility as a dad, so being able to do this with George is amazing.
Go on with your videos. Nearly 1k subs. Best wishes from Germany❤😊
Thank you so much!!
You have very good helper. :) take care and I see you are getting close to 1k Subs.
Fingers crossed! Thank you.
What you're buying is technically a short engine - no head or ancillaries but block with pistons and crank, etc, in it. Might be worth getting/making some wheel chocks for safety as well. You may need a wire cable or chain assembly to connect the crane hook to the engine. Not sure if you might need a new oil pump. Family comes first - can't quite understand why your viewing figures remain so unfairly low,
Thank you.
Oh mate. Wish you had asked. Got an engine crane and engine stand in the garage you could have borrowed.
Might borrow the stand if that's ok mate as it would help when I fit all the new gaskets and chain?
Definitely interesting. I'd love to be able to do this someday. Fab job!
Do you have details of the chap who did the keys for you ?
Sent insta message mate
Great job on car well done goerge get em involved brilliant
Enjoying the videos..keep up the good work…nice to see George helping 👍 Colin
Thanks Colin. Love being able to do work on the cars with George
Start them young!
Have you since sold the Abarth?
No, final bits are being done next week before it is ready to sell. Just want it as perfect as possible.
@@PetrolHeadRebuilds ooh gimme a shout when your ready to sell…
I bought one a few days ago and I have similar project on hands with small bit more of painting unfortunately. Also my lower fog lights have been glued with silicone 🤒 the grill is extremely expensive for what it is
