You're doing a beautiful job detailing. I bought a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with 82000 miles off of a 87 year old lady. I'm going completely over it and replacing whatever it needs. It's a challenge keeping it all original.
Check the rust on the cross member under the radiator where it joins the chassis . It's one of the most common failures on the chassis and will stop an annual inspection being granted .
Like the way the most fancy and clean thing in the engine bay was the Borsch S4 battery. It is normally advised to wrap the alternator and ecu in a bag before jet washing. Your car managed it...
I really enjoyed your video! We are kindred spirits in the fact I like things on my car to be neat and clean. It makes maintenance much easier when you can see and handle things. Nice work and looking forward to more videos.
Great work! You should definitely check the cooling hoses that go into the firewall and connect the cooling system with the heater. The fittings there are plastic and they disintegrate...
I painted my valve cover recently (turquoise) as the gasket was leaking and i wanted to do it anyway, and i tell you, a bit of cleaning and a freshly painted cover go a long way to make this car engine bay look good. I also painted the exhaust manifold cover in black and gave the whole thing a thorough cleaning, and it does lok very very good.
Absolutely brilliant job my Friend! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I initially thought you’ll also paint the brake calipers red - as every race driver knows that they give you another 10 horsepower extra performance and the car can go much faster than ever before just by having red calipers (only joking)… 😉🤜🏻💥🤛🏻😎 Keep up the fantastic work, can’t wait for the next episode EJO! 💪🏻🤩🤘🏻
Blev helt chockad när jag såg detta, då det visade sig att du är svensk och gör detta. Du gjorde ett helt fantastiskt jobb att ge liv och kärlek till bilen och längtar och kommer se mer av dina projekt.
Wax is there to prevent rust at panel joints and part that are known to rust easy, and on electrics to prevent moisture to contacts. Lots of old cars have wax between panels, to prevent rust between two sgeets of metal, like hoods, doors etc.
Thank you! I just did because I wanted to vary the oil pressure a little bit. Don't think it matters much though... But if the instructions says only idle then you should go for that. 👍
12:39 add some coke zero about 1 litre to existing liquid and lit it work fore little time then flush it, coke will remove all rust and salt from inside
I like the way you explain and record the job. You should’nt install rubber brake lines, much better racinng/ metallic brake lines. Regards from Spain!
Thank you for your comment! Honestly oem style rubber brake hoses are completely fine for 99% of situations. Many high performance sports cars comes with rubber hoses from factory and they work perfectly good on track. However, steel braided can give you a better feel and better pedal feedback, but good quality fresh oem hoses are rarely the week point in a braking system. 👍
Hey Bro... I also recovered a Micra K11 at my Channel and i really enjoyed to work on it and probably i will buy another one in the future... Keep the Great Work 💯🔥
Vilka underbara minnen man får när man ser dig jobba på en gammal Micra. Detta kommer bli riktigt bra när du är klar, och det röda topplocket var ingen dum idé 👍
Riktigt nice vid dessutom så har jag köpt olja på oljemagasinet i många år grym service och grymt kunnig personal tack för videon.Men gärna mer sånt här vill vi se.
Hi, EJO. I enjoyed the video very much. Regarding the heat shield for the exhaust, would you also consider using a penetrating oil on the three bolts? The popular penetrating oil that has the long red straw is what I have. I intend to bend the straw around the back of the shield in order to try to spray the bolt, and do what I can to hit the bolt head from the outside too. And let it soak for 24 hours. Just so I can avoid drilling out the bolt if it has rusted badly. I guess the exhaust manifold will smoke and smell bad for a while - but wouldn't it eventually burn off and not be a factor? Do you still remember the size of the bolt you replaced, by chance? I'm doing something similar. With the same mindset actually. I did an AC delete and moved the alternator. The brackets for the ALT were very rusty and I sanded and painted them - came out great. Thanks in advance.
8:56 you’ve used screw clamp instead of flex one which was before, are you sure that it won’t be leaking when engine will change temperature? Usually flex ones are used to compensate temperature size changes.
why did you keep that rusty bolts on that freshly painted valve cover, even though you replaced the heat shield bolts and the hose clamps? anyway, nice work! 👍🏼
That intake resonator is huge my god lol. you can cut it off and plug it or plug it without cutting it off. It's what I do with every car i buy, sounds 100x better
Tackar! Ja, absolut 2k är mycket bättre. Tänkte att jag skulle testa denna då den är bra mycket billigare än de flesta 2k. Får se hur länge det håller. 🤷♂️
The underside is rusty, but is it a cold country? Replacement parts are coming out one after another, but this model "Japanese name is March" is getting less and less, so please take care of yourself! ! ・ [From a former Nissan employee]
@@ejoautovideos I have a year 2000 smart car that the snow has not agreed with have electrical and mechanical problems and can't find anyone to help me! The car is in Vasteras. Can you help or know of anyone please thank you.
Really cool video! Ne careful with stainless steel hardware. Never mix stainless steel with aluminum. That’s going to cause heavy corrosion (galvanic corrosion) and discoloration of the stainless steel. I don’t know what the block and the heat shield is made of, but beware :)
Thank you! 😊 Yes, you should be mindful when mixing dissimilar metals. I've actually studied the field of material science (and a little bit of chemistry). Heres my take on it: First of all, for galvanic corrosion to occur there must be dissimilar metals AND an electrolyte. This car wont see winter time and will be used in good conditions during the summer. The top of the engine is also relatively isolated from the elements. The reason people say you should not mix stainless with aluminium compared to steel/alu is because regular steel bolts has a zink coating. Zink/Alu is not as reactive as un-coated stainless and aluminium. However, if that zink coating is comprimised, it's just as bad, if not worse than a SS/Alu combo. Lastly, i coated the stainless hardware with an anti-seize which should prevent galvanic corrosion, even in the present of an electrolyte (salty water). The manifold is made out of cast iron, the heat shield is made out of something that can rust at least. 🤣 Sorry for the long text, and I really don't want to come across as smug or anything... Just wanted to share my thoughts/knowledge on it and explain why I thought it would be best to replace some of that hardware with SS. 😊👍
@@ejoautovideos Not smug at all!! It's actually nice to learn more about this topic. Thanks for sharing it!! I didn't know about zink/alu. good to know as I zinkplate pretty much every parts in my engine bay in my restoration project...!
#EJO, you are highly exaggerating with the 10HP from the valve cover. It is more alonge the lines of between 3 to 7 HP depending on the color. So please do some research next time before claiming such high numbers. :)) Amazing cleanup under the hood! You are awesome!
Kan varmt rekommendera att prova Mac A25 i motorrum om du inte provat det tidigare. Körde de i motorrummet på en bil jag köpte som stått i 12år o nog aldrig sett en motortvätt. Fick det 95% rent efter en vända 👍🏻 lägg gärna upp video om du provar de framöver
Kommer du göra ett nytt oljebyte snart? För även att du tömde ur oljan med oil flush medlet så finns det lite kvar i motorn. Annars är det alltid kul att se dina filmer! 🙂
Tackar! Räknade ut att av den totala oljevolymen som finns i motorn just nu består 0,4% av oljeflushen. 0,15/3,25 = 5% Fick ut 3lit = 92% 0,08*5% = 0,4% Så jag är inte superstressad. Däremot kommer bilen få täta oljebyten överlag framöver. 👍
Nunca vi un k11 con bobinas de encendido individuales. Tengo uno y todos los que vi durante 20 años de mecánico no eran así , tenían distribuidor con cabes de bujías 🤷♂️
I enjoy seeing how an old rusty exhibit turns out an attractive and well maintained car. You have done that again!
Thank you so much Anton, really appreciate that! 😊
For stubborn hoses. Use hot water from a thermos. It helped me alot when I was changing my clutch master cylinder in -15c cold.
awesome maintenance work.
love how you transformed the engine bay.
Thank you so much buddy! 😊
You're doing a beautiful job detailing.

I wish you the best for you and your Pontiac. 👍😊
Really nice transformation, its nice to see these regular types of car get some love.
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that! 😊
"Everyone know that red valve cover gives u extra 10 HP" 🤣🤣🤣
It'll need it
Love this type of videos from you! Good luck and keep it up! Greetings from Romania!
Thank you so much Sir! 😊
Yoeddynz says you should file the sharp corners off the battery hold down you made. Thanks for not having ridiculously loud music.😁
I did file the worst of it off, I think they look sharper on camera than what they really are. 👍
I like the small details like filling up the oil filter before starting the engine to provide good oil pressure, you know what your doing 👍👍👍
Really nice transformation, its nice to see these regular types of car get some love 🤩😍🥰😎
Check the rust on the cross member under the radiator where it joins the chassis . It's one of the most common failures on the chassis and will stop an annual inspection being granted .
Fortunately that cross member is mint, barely any surface rust on it! 👍
However the rockers/sills are pretty rusted on some places :/
Tack för alla projekt du visar, både väldigt trevligt och inspirerande!
Tack så mycket! Uppskattar det enormt. 😊

Why do you fill up the oil filter before installing. i never do that. i just put it in and then let the engine run for a few swconds.
Regarding battery. So only need to disconnect the minus on the battery?
