Gran turismo 4 and Cyberpunk music in a single video? this makes me happy.
Seeing the old Ralliart come back to life is super satisfying, love it! Definitely have a soft spot for these.
Holy moly the sound track! That song takes me right back to the early 2000s playing Gran Touismo!
Use 303 protectant spray, its the best and has a uv protectant in it, plastic looks brand new without the greasy gloss.
Bowdens Own are a fantastic Aussie company with great products.
I use their blue Wash & Wax, looks better than any of the others I've used. Will have to pick up a few of the engine bay cleaners tomorrow after the way the Magna came up
Looks great mate. You're doing a good job restoring these Aussie cars
A hack for anyone applying vinyl stickers to their car: spray where the sticker is to be placed with water and a few drops of car wash. This way if you're not happy with the result you can reposition the sticker. Use an absorbent cloth to squeegee the water out when sticker is positioned to your liking.
Love the Cyberpunk ost perfect for a car vid
You COULD eat off that engine bay, brilliant job Sean 👍
Engine bay came out exceptionally well Sean. When restoring, we don't want a garage queen that'll never hit the road. As long as it's done in showroom condition it'll be a head turner regular driving car.
My Holden VY S ute was painted 7 years ago & it still looks like it's been sitting in the showroom even though I drive it most days.
Always something cathartic about a good car cleaning video.
Ooh is that some Gran turismo 4 Menu Music im hearing during this?
All in house Gran turismo music is copyright free.
Time to do the same on my old TF Holden Rodeo, it's amazing how a little bit of time and good home grown products can turn and old turd into a gem, epic job mate.
5:52 That Grand Turismo Music 🤓
Great job on the engine bay clean too!!
I hope the Magna hate has gone and they've all crawled back into their little box's.
i think the tire foam wins... less elbow grease required.
If the tyre foam contains silicone over time it will
turn the engine bay plastics grey because of the heat from the engine plus the oil found in silicone.
@@ilikechickensausages2075 not sure you need to use it more than once in a blue moon, or as I did... when i first purchased my car.
I also hosed it off after it had done its job.
I just checked the can and it doesn't mention any active ingredients. just hydrocarbon aerosol.
so use it sparingly I suppose. ?!.
literally 5 mins and a hose off
Love the Gran Turismo song vibes! Love my Bowdens, such a great Aussie bred company!!
the gran turismo menu music gets me every time what a tune, and also gonna do this to my turbo mirage engine bay 100%
That sticker is almost worth buying a magna 👌 very nice as always, you're fantastic to watch
WOW another use for the fabulous agent orange. Well done Sean. The Magna's looking clean as a whistle. I've used the trye foam in the engine bay with great results and even oven clean on seroiusly bad bits(not plastics of course) but if the agent orange with a bit of brush work will do the job then I'm in. Great jod again Sean and another fabulous vid.
Dam it finished up great. Good job. I love Bowdens products as well although never used the vinyl spray on the plastics under the bonnet. I generally use a type foam which also does a great job. Recently I asked Authentic Collectables model car company why they have never made models of Magnas. The reply was they were never popular. What a joke. Everyone’s who reads this should contact them to prove them wrong. You must be nearly finished this build and I love it.
I’ve been watching this series since the start and have loved the content so far Sean, It’s been especially helpful for my own Ralliart magna. I ordered a sticker when this video came out on your website and arrived today, couldn’t be happier! Thanks, Mitchell 🙂
Great Job.....Next time when applying decals use Dishwashing liquid in a bottle and spray the surface the bubbles will come out as you apply the decal...A lot easier an old detailers trick...Keep up the good work Really enjoying your build / process !!
Looks beautiful in a functional type of way.
Looks good, a tidy finish
Came up alright man, also props to the Gran Turismo 4 BGM
"Engine bays don't have to be Concourse level to look great! This engine bay looks downright sparkly! Awesome job Sean!"
@Motoringbox MY 'secret weapon' has always been armourall tyre and wheel foam! Spray on, and you're done (used it for my Corvettes also when I had them, which saw many car shows) ;)
Just like my car the black with green metalicy bits - Sable
I use window cleaner on plastics, it really does a great job at removing gunk. And its cheap.
Looks great 👍🏼
What a fantastic transformation!
Good job mate.
The heat gun really helped, ive never heard of that method before. Bowdens products are great. Cheers and nice video mate.👍👍
Seeing you do that makes me want to work on my 1995 mitsubishi verada sedan
Wow great clean and detail on the engine bay!And the new sticker really looks the part.
Why do I imagine the sticker getting too hot and pulling a Streets Vienna Ice Cream Cake on ya? :)
Nice work
The Gran Turismo music was very nostalgic through this video
cant wait to start detailing up the 2008 nugget i bought today
Looks choice bro!!!
The new sticker looks great, I might have to grab a couple.
I come for the magna, I stay for the Gran Turismo BGM.
Great video mate!
The engine bay came up real nice!
Good inspiration (aka guilting me into motivation…). My Alfa has been working it’s arse off lately with many interstate trips with a trailer moving house, and it’s looking a bit sad.
I need to do it’s big 30K service, and a proper clean of the engine bay is very much in order.
I ordered a new engine sticker from your eBay tonight 👍
Thanks mate, just processed that one. I found evidence that my car was actually around your area back in 2009.
@@MotoringBoxTV I know a lot of Ralliarts made their way north from Tassie over the years. There were a lot of them down here once, i used to see them quite often on the roads here, but I haven’t seen one for a couple years now aside from mine which is rarely driven, but I know of a few tucked away, my mate Andrew has 3 of them, red, white and a black one. There’s a guy in south Australia that’s been trying to buy mine for a few years, he must know they’ll be a modern classic one day 😉 I’ve had mine since new and I couldn’t sell it 😂
You did a great job here Sean💯
gran turismo menu music?? nostaglia!!
This is an engine that actually looks better with covers, wonder how the tyre foam would have worked?
Nice work. When are you available to drop by and do mine? LOL
Black plastic restore, i know for external plastics Bowdens Mr Black is the way to go
The Magna? You’re not taking the Magna! I’ve just polished the dip stick!
But seriously, for those who’ve never tried it, cleaning under the bonnet is remarkably satisfying.
😂😂 Ted Bullpit😂😂😂😂
@@MrFordpower We’re showing our age.
That engine bay came out great mate, I love watching older cars getting this treatment, especially a rare beauty like the Ralliart. Great choice of background music as well👍
Bowden’s have a product called Mr Black, maybe you should try that for faded black plastic?
There is a magna meet tomorrow if you're interested
Possible severe storms forecasted for tomorrow afternoon, stay safe.
@@MotoringBoxTV yeah we will man
2:00 Cool choice of tunes. 😀
@6:00 when the GT4 GT Auto kicked in 🤣🤣
Dam 7 secs good notification also exhaust for the vs still hasn't come? And this is exactly what i need for my ecotec shaun thanks mate
Sexy man needs a sexy engine bay!! Fantastic work mate, for a daily driven car shes pretty close to a show car.
Did I miss the cambelt/tensioner change video?
Hi Shaun. Are you able to get me a closer look at those VSV's on the front bank? They look extremely similar ro those on my 3VZFE engined Camry. On my car they control the fuel pressure reg and I think the canister purge or something. I'm just wondering who makes them and if they're compatible and perform the same function as my Denso units.
hey there mate do you know where could i get the indicator bulb socket for my magna ? is a tj 2002 thanks a lot for the vids u killing it
I was at supercheap the other day, and I completely forgot about the orange agent.
I'd look at trying to clear coat that sticker to prolong it's life.
Got any tips on cleaning/detailing unpainted metal surfaces?
Another great video Sean! Engine bay has come up mint, looks really good mate! You just keep making me very jelly with every vid on this damn car haha. Keep up the great work mate, can’t wait for the next one!
Did you do a LED conversion kit on the Maggie?
The Gran Turismo 4 music threw me
This is like an mcm vid
Is that like Gran Tourismo music???
Dad’s TF Magna is apparently still going at 350K kms… I bet it’s engine bay doesn’t look this nice :)
Nicely done! Much improved. Any tips for whitening white plastic? ie the washer bottle? BTW I just ordered a sticker too!
What's that song you use
My TJ Magna Sports has a pretty clean engine bay. The Sports sticker is missing from the engine cover though.
Chuck a Ralliart sticker on it!
@@MotoringBoxTV No plans. My car has over 280,000kms, keep it maintained and it still drives nice and smoothly. Funny fact: I took my future car for a test drive when it was new back in 2000. It was sold at the same dealership (Launceston) as your Ralliart was sold but was used as a demo near where I live. I have new old stock KJ KL KW Verada GTV/GTVi rims on my car.
🐠🤘😁
Great work, Sean. Have you changed the spark plugs?
They were changed shortly before I purchased the car.. not something I'm going to be in a hurry to do 😁
Yeh a bit of work to doing the rear bank, haven't done mine and as far as I know they are still original and going fine.
I bought a metal Raliart badge for my 380 in Thailand, $3. 😅
Is it actually a Ralliart or just a normal 380?
Doubled the value of your car just like that!
@@MartinJones123 Never just an ordinary 380, they are all ' special ' the badge works like a ' polariser ' harmonising all molecules.
@@sykcnt8012 It looks so good, many people stare and whisper.
@@perpetualgrin5804 Haha... Love your sense of humour!
HOW TO POLISH A TURD 💩.... By Shaun Micallef 😂
Whoever sang the song during the cleaning montage for this episode needs singing lessons...can't believe someone thinks they are talented enough to actually release such cringe
It's Olga Jankowska - feel free to go tell her. The track has over 15,000,000 plays on Spotify.
@@MotoringBoxTV onision has a song on RUclips with 92 million views called the " banana song.".. views and quality are at times mutually exclusive.
Using agent orange to clean an Asian vehicle seems a bit racist!
That's why you need a proper tradie ute. No cleaning required. Just go from one job to the next making that money rather than spending it.
