 Hey guys, welcome to another video, I was gonna say repair but it's not, it's preparation video for a car if you live in the rust belt, which I'm in the beautiful state of Illinois. Now if you've seen the last episode, drove the car back from Texas and it is nice. You can see the frame once again, I think, did some preparations back in my place. Took off a few more things today, I'm gonna go over the other things and we're gonna pressure wash this. First we're gonna spray it with the greaser, then we're gonna pressure wash everything. Then I'm gonna wait overnight, let it dry, I'm actually gonna air dry it or air pressure dry it, air gun dry it, you know what I mean. Then we're gonna let it sit overnight, come back tomorrow morning and give it a paint job. I'm still debating if I'm gonna paint the frame only and the different suspension components, the black stuff. Or if I should paint the frame obviously and the floor underneath with the chassis saver paint. We're gonna see that tomorrow because I forgot to grab it, I'm keeping it warm. And then after, which I also forgot, I'm gonna show you the wax like spray can by Amsoil. And that stuff is going everywhere, over the chassis saver paint and the floor and suspensions. Everywhere, starting from here, down, inside the doors, inside the hood, inside the rear hatch, inside the rockers. Okay, I mean, I'm saying not the exhaust, we're gonna leave the exhaust alone. Inside the frame, okay, I mean everywhere, okay guys, when I say when I mean everywhere, I mean everywhere, the obvious stuff. Now, let's take a look, let's see what I took off to prepare this for the paint. Mudflaps, although the, well, not all, but most of the brackets for the brake lines just so I can have access to the frame. Here is more, all the brackets on the parking brake line. Here is all this stuff, the spare obviously, the hitch. Now you can see, I don't know if you're gonna see that or not, but I did scuff up the frame. I did get lazy on the scuffing because it's a lot of work. I'm gonna probably go over it once more once I pressure wash it. Here you can see, I don't know if you actually see this or not, but I mean, first of all, look at this frame. We're in the Chicago area, guys. I did apologize to the car that I brought here, took off some of the heat shields. Like that one I want because it's kind of easy access going over it. But there was one right above here and right here. Not worry about this one because it's close to the catalytic converter, so not sure that's gonna dry up quickly. Yeah, but this did some scuffing basically, well almost everywhere. There's a little bit of rust in this area, in here. But most of it, this is the worst part of the whole frame. This part here, the very front. But this is gonna get the chassis saver and we're gonna spray the MZO stuff inside every hole we find. We're also gonna take a look inside the frame. I got a new toy. Took out these funny covers over here. This one just disintegrated. Very brittle. They didn't take these off because I did try to take two of those off and they kind of broke on me, so I'm gonna just kind of lift it. Whatever I can't get with, because I'm gonna be brushing on the paint. And whatever I can't get to, I'm gonna just spray the MZO stuff, the wax stuff, you'll see. And I did take this apart, the fender, and there was, I mean, I think I showed it to you. There was a lot, I mean a lot of leaves, vegetation and stuff like that. I took off these clips for these plastic rocker covers and we're gonna just kind of bend this back and spray some stuff in there. I did took off the, oh yeah, I should mention the fuel tank cover, which is right there, and the step tubes. I'm gonna show you something. Check this out. I know it's not a big deal, but look at this. This is just some dirt sitting right above the step tube bracket. You know, that stays there long enough, it's gonna rust. I'm gonna spray stuff inside there. Obviously inside, just everywhere guys. All the holes in the frame. Look at the sneak peek at the frame inside. I don't know if you see this or not, but this thing is clean. But it's got some issues. I did mention, I think, I did mention a few mechanical issues. I'm not gonna take the rear bumper off or the front bumper off. For now, in the future I will to paint the, you know, I guess the other side of the frame. So, whatever I can reach, I will. Not taking this off, because that includes taking the bumper off. Because I gotta take these bolts off. I'm gonna paint all of the rear diff suspension parts. Probably the backing plates of the, backing plates. And like I said, whatever I can reach, or like stuff like this, I'm not gonna paint with chassis saver. Just spray the wax over, all over this. And the only way part I can get to the frame with chassis saver is this. Just not enough space, even after taking off the cover. But I'm not dropping the fuel tank now. Look, this was, I mean this is plastic, this is not rust. But good thing I took the cover off. Check this out. This is gonna get painted separately. What else we can see over here? I'm gonna do a transmission service. Drain plug, very thoughtful. Actually, no, this is probably the drain plug. This is the fill plug, I'm guessing. What does it say? Check. Okay, so this is the check plug. This is the drain plug. I don't know if the transmission flow was changed or not, but we're gonna do it anyways. I don't see a dipstick here. Anywhere. I mean, this is just amazing. You know, if you don't live in the rust belt, then you just don't understand this. I am so excited about this frame, like a little kid. It's crazy. Yeah, I do not see a dipstick anywhere. Do I see rust over there? Something's red. Oh, never mind. That's the back of the cover. Well, this is rusty. The block is getting rusty. Can't paint the block. Actually, I may paint the oil pan a little bit. See how the paint, the chassis saver, takes on heat. Look, this is not, this is just dirt. Coolant leak. I'm gonna be replacing that. All right, guys. It's late. I've been here all day. I'm gonna eat. Gotta get this done. You know, I'm probably going overboard. But, you know, salt is salt. Just eat this thing away. Especially when they have these, still do, rusting issues. And the forerunners, the sequoias, the tendras, the Tacomas. Crazy. So, yeah. Let's get to spraying and washing. Just everywhere. All right, guys. I'm gonna continue this. And I guess after I'm done pressure washing it, I'm gonna... We'll see. See you later. All right, guys. So, as you can see, the frame is soaking. Well, everything is... You can see how dirty it is. Grimy and all. I mean, this is nothing compared to cars here. Now, I'm gonna give you an example. This is what you get. And that's a German car. Anyways, this is drying up quickly. All right, I'm gonna get pressure washing. Just run out of fuel. Literally, I just did the front for like two minutes, and I ran out of fuel. I'm a bit wet. Okay. Well, I'm thinking, since we're doing this, might as well do the engine bay from the top. Let's do that. Yes, you can wash your engine bay. Done it many times, BMWs, whatever. Never had an issue. You may want to cover your alternator, but mine's somewhere down there. I didn't even... As long as you don't spray at it, it'll be fine. So now, I'm gonna dry it up. Why do I keep saying we? I'm doing all the work. Basically, a lot of this everywhere. See you later. Guys, I'm blind. I'm deaf. And my hands are just falling off. Try blowing air for like an hour. I had to switch hands quite a bit. All right, this is what she looks like now. Pretty much the same. Just wet here and there. Well, I mean, you know, clean. I'm gonna worry about this grease on the shocks. Look what I found. A missing bolt on the transmission pan. I'm gonna have to address that. So that tells me that they did replace on the filter an oil, but no idea what mileage. I'm still gonna do that service. This is, I mean, this is so easy on this car. It's unbelievable. The pan is right there. Same thing with the oil pan on the engine. If you ever need to replace that, very easy access. All right. Now, you know, the, the, the blowing part. That's why I'll do in it. I figured it's a very important part you want to do. So not only you're, you know, you're blowing the dry, but you're also cleaning it from stuff that's stuck, has been stuck to it for years and years. So the paint cold is going to last much, much longer. Now when blowing, I've noticed when I blew air into like, say this hole, a lot of water came out this, this hole and so on. So you want to blow air inside the frame, inside these, I guess floor rails, I'm guessing these are cold. Okay. All these, you know, those right there. I mean, whatever you can find, especially these look, there's still water coming down. I'm going to give the rest today. It's late. I got to eat and still do other work. Crazy. But it's worth it. It's all worth it. Cause I know it's going to last much longer than it would if I didn't do anything, basically. All right, guys. So this is it. Let it dry overnight. That's probably going to be like 14 hours or so by the time I'm back here. Hopefully that's going to be enough. I'm still going to go over blowing it in the holes and stuff, you know, inside the frame just to make sure it's super dry. If I have time tomorrow, I'm going to address this, clean this up. Actually, maybe I should clean it today still. Hmm. No, don't feel like it. Here are those heat shields I was talking about. All right, guys. It's going to be a few hours for me, a split second for you.
