 Hey guys, welcome to another Everything Swap. You saw me clean up the engine bay here. Quite a bit of grease and grime. Well, not quite a bit, but actually almost nothing to be honest with you, but I did use brake cleaner. Now some of you may think or know that brake cleaner will kind of leave a matte finish. No worries, we're gonna paint this blue, actually, and then paint this black. Not the whole thing, just spots where the rust is. That's why I was using the wire brush. And the rust, we're only getting rid of the flakes, okay? Like this is good, we can see some metal. And this is also good, you know, no more rust is coming off even with my fingers. And we're gonna treat everything where there is rust, especially this area right over here. With this awesome paint, chassis saver by Magnet paint, paints. And this is the same paint I have used on my Toyota 4Runner, check this out. What this paint does is it, what's the word? Encapsulates the rust, so no oxygen, moisture gets through that paint, so rust is on the parking brake, pretty much. That's it. So we're basically trying to slow down the rust. That's the paint you wanna use, because I've been doing, I did, I'm doing a rear differential on this thing, on the 4Runner. This is the rear differential case. And I have been tossing this around, hitting it on the wood, okay? Not metal, but you know, wood. And this paint is just not coming off, okay? I mean, I've dropped tools on this, no chips, nothing. This has been on here for maybe a month or so, maybe even less. So it is also very durable. And it's only one coat. They asked for two coats, I only did one coat because I've been spraying, I also sprayed the whole car, my Toyota, with this stuff here, this wax in spray, kind of deal. Same as, what do you call those? Say hi to Lucas. Wool wax, oh yeah, wool wax, and something, there's one of it. You have your MZOE, MZOE, MZOE, MZOE, yeah. There's wool wax and there's something else. But this is supposed to be the best five years, every five years of maintenance, three to five years depending on where you are. Wool wax is every one or two years and there's the other, the one other. Fluid film, fluid film is a yearly re-spray. Anyways, back to the WRX. We're gonna use the black paint on all the rust areas everywhere. And then obviously repainted blue. This is gonna stay black. Repainted black, also with just regular spray paint. Or just leave it with a chassis saver paint. Doesn't matter, just making it look nice. And like I said, put the brakes on the rust. The rear diff is in. I was super easy on these hatchbacks. I mean, it should be like that on the old sixes and old sevens. You got any one? No fives and no force. We're replacing the old sensors. One of them is damaged on this JDM six speed transmission. Decided just to replace both of them. Are we taking this apart too? Yeah, just take it off here. We're getting a new shifter. The whole thing is new. Remember, this was from a junkyard, you know, JDM. So we have to do some maintenance to it. Check it, see if there's any maybe oil shape or metal shavings on the drain plug. The harnesses are different on these USDM sensors. Yeah, remember, that's why we had to do exactly the same on the one we had. Yeah, but that was from a much older legacy. This is supposedly same make model, exactly the same, but it's still different because it's JDM, this is USDM. So we're gonna compare the two here. So here are the original USDM plugs. Okay, that's the five speed. Maybe they're different because they're, I don't know, I have no idea. Anyways, so these are round plugs from the USDM and these are kinda squarish JDM plugs here. But it's okay, wires, just two wires, they're the same. This is a black with white, we're gonna splice it halfway or so and make a nice connection, shrink wrap it and all that stuff and plug it back in. Guys, quick update, took out the little oil pan just to check, you know, because it's easy and we do have some shavings on the magnet. It's inside and just want to show you how much. And this is how much we have all this gooey stuff. It's not too bad, you know? I mean, and I don't feel any big chunks. I'm gonna try and, this is a strong magnet, by the way. I'm gonna need two hands for this magnet because this guy is strong. Yeah, I'm not feeling any big chunks, so it's okay. This is just your clutch material, but it's a good thing, you know, to remove the shaving so new ones can stick on. So we're gonna do that, clean this off, put new RTV on the little pan, stick it back on, undo this plug, see what's going on in there. It's nice and clean inside. We're gonna remove these oil seals, replace them, remove the oil seal back there and here we have the oil seals so this guy, this kind of flat one goes in the rear of the transmission. I believe this is the part number and these guys go on the side. These are different part numbers, guys. Here is one and somewhere is the other, I don't have it. Anyways, clean. Wait, wrong place. There we go. RTV. This guy's gonna go, I'm gonna oil this here, outside and inside, hammer that in, basically find a socket or something that's gonna go on the outside of this lip, drive it in. All right, update soon. Guys, we'll get updates. They're quite a bit. As you can see, the transmission is in. Couldn't really show you the outcome, you know, the wiring and basically everything else, but because I had people in here, so we just kind of, me and Lucas, we kept on working, you know, had a little bit more help with the transmission and just kept on working and kind of talking at the same time and couldn't really record. Anyways, this is what has been done so far. So can't really see the harness, but it was, you know, wired, zip tied, cleaned the transmission, wiped it off just a bit, installed all the new seals, cleaned up this area here, brushed the splines, greased up the fork over here. It's actually very, very nice. I'm gonna have to remove this again to install the thread bearing, but you know, gonna worry about it later. Right now it's just propped up on a jack so I can actually finish painting this. I, you know, since I had Lucas and all the, you know, extra help here, we figured might as well put the transmission in. I thought I'll just lift it and still have room to do a little touch up on the subframe. Not much of painting that needs to be done on the subframe. It's just here and there a little bit. Mostly it's in this area right over here, kind of focused on the lower parts. Basically impossible to reach when everything is back in. Anyways, something I wanna mention, look for bubbles. When you're going, you know, wiping it off, that's when you see all the details. So I had bubbles in this area here and bubbles in this area here. You wanna send these down because the brush will not remove the bubbling, rusting paint under the paint, you know? So you wanna send that down because even if you paint over it, it's just gonna, you know, be several months before it just pops open. Anyway, so this thing is ready to paint. I am gonna paint this bracket here now. Some of you may say, oh, well, why don't you just take it off? Well, taking it off, it's not just this, okay? It may look like it, but it's this whole bracket that holds the ABS pump, it's underneath, it's there, you know, you gotta say enough. Because if I just keep going, which I'd love to, because that's how I am, you know? I'm just gonna end up restoring the damn thing. And we're not doing, we're not restoring this, okay? We're just kinda freshening it up a little bit, making it look nicer and, you know, putting the brakes on the rust and make it last a little longer, you know? A few years, if we get, you know, five years, probably more because this car is gonna get the seat in the garage, it's only gonna go out, you know, on a Sunday drive, track days and hour crossing. It's not a daily, you know? So it's not gonna, the rusting process is gonna be slowed down significantly, you know? Got new brackets, the radiator lower brackets, those are going back in new. So the way the transmission is, there is no, it's not attached under in any way. It's just, it's just a jack. And the way we did it, we moved it up with one guy in the engine bay, he attached the pitch mount here. This is gonna get replaced also later on because remember, you gotta remove this to put the engine in. You wanna have the transmission, you know, to be able to move up and down and, you know, straight. So those, that big, you know, bracket with the mount, transmission mount, that's gonna get installed. Then we're gonna rest it on the subframe when it's all painted and dry. Remove the pitch mount and then the engine can go in. All right, guys, I'm gonna give this a coat, basically the paint that I showed you using a small brush. And then I'm hoping I can get a can of the actual factory paint and, you know, touch up the areas, the frame that was blue. Keep it blue, basically, make it look nice. This is what's done. I know, I did say I'm gonna just touch up the cross member, but you know how it goes. Just wanted to make it look even. So the whole, I am gonna go again, once it dries, I'm gonna go again through it one more time and, you know, do a little touch up then, but here we have a few spots. I did, I forgot to, before last update. I forgot to remove this harness, but I did, and I painted this whole thing. This is the area that's prone to rust, okay? And then the whole thing under the battery tray. This always rusts because of battery acid in there. And then just a few spots on top here, on top here. Now I would love to remove the fuse box and see what surprises are under there, but maybe another day. And then I did go ahead and paint the subframe here on this side and then behind. Oh, we gotta run. All right, so, and then this whole thing here. And same on the other side. The other side is much less rusty for some reason. You know, rust works in mysterious ways. Let's fix this run. Now I plan to use this brush tomorrow. What I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna take a bag and just wrap it around so it doesn't dry up. Guys, got an update. Got some paint, blue, really blue, not just any blue, really blue. Let's spray a little test to compare the really blue with engine bay blue. And this is what we got. So this is the test area. Straight on the black paint. I mean, well, it is different, but we're gonna spray it anyway. Obviously I can't spray the whole engine bay. That would be nice, but I'm not removing this stuff. No way. I'm thinking I'm just gonna probably leave the bracket black. Actually it was black, wasn't it? Tape this up, tape up some of the stuff, disconnect this, what not, and just kinda spray away. Maybe leave this black. I don't know. I'm gonna have to pound around this for a little bit and get you an update. Guys, we got an update. I gotta say I like the color. I was gonna shoot clear on it, but I am not going to because it's gonna be even more shiny. I'm sure I missed a spot or two, but we're gonna see how it looks once I remove this, you know, my art. What do you think? Got a little blend going over here. Well, not really. You got a line going here. Definitely no blend here. Oh, forgot to untape this bracket. Oh yeah, just gotta do a little touch up there. But yeah, gotta say not too bad. Okay, just gotta reattach the grounds, this harness here, and engine bay ready.
