Looks like they were so close and just didn’t finish! (Probably due to floppy pedal 😔)
That thing will be peppy
I would like for you to give a walk around, drive, and a little background on the car. I owned one exactly identical to that one for many years and I catch myself reminiscing about it at times.
@@jarretto3267 this one is now somewhere down in the Austin area. It was sold over a year ago. Definitely one of the more fun cars I’ve had! Technology way ahead of its time.
youre nuts man, in the best way of course but nuts none the less! you are going to have to go move out next to Stephen
@@terryr410 there is a property for sale next to him 🤔
Love it! Greetings from Keller, and comment for the Algorithm.
@@jct903 awww man… Not from Japan?
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM (don’t change😊)
if you using it for just ac this is okay, but if you wanna use it for heat in winter, you want the low ambient temp that goes to -13f or -22f the reason this has high seer rating because its only rated to 5f heating in heating mode, might be enough for your climate tho, also if you running new wire why not just go with 240 volt version it uses way less amps, the whole point of 120 volt ones it a drop in solution for people that already have existing line near by or old window unit built in..
Perfect candidate for some electric cutouts!

How does the wife and the neighbors feel about this collection? lol
@@ssarkees Neighbors digs it… wife stopped asking questions years ago. Shes accepted her fate 🤣🤣🤣
Meth might be a healthier hobby
Cool proj. Even if I personally would have chosen an MB m113 to put in it. But I want the MB instrument cluster back.. Doesnt look right to me at all lol. Very plasticy small japaneese car -looking. Would also put the European headlights and bumpers on it.
Here before the video blows ! Greetings from france
Cool Project. I m very excited. Greetings from germany 😉
An LS-swapped Mercedes? Sweet! 😎
The music is god awful, cool car though
Oh you fancy now!
This is the information I need!!
I like the gutter material to cover the piping/drain. Much cheaper than the purpose built stuff. Nice work man. You guys deal with some nasty hot/humid weather. In Utah it get's hot too, gonna hit 100 today, but "it's a dry heat". I still want to get a minisplit one of these days.
Great video. Did you ever have the car engine shut down on you while driving? My 2001 Z06 is doing that and sometimes it doesn’t want to start up until the next day. I did get a P0335 code the very first time it did that but have not since. And I did get the Charge System Fault on the DIC once also. But since then no codes or messages. It just randomly dies. I do have a new Crank Shaft Position Sensor, OEM , but I don’t have a lift and the starter needs to come out to replace it. And the mid H section of the exhaust needs to come off to get the starter out. I just don’t trust it anymore after getting stuck twice. Once having to have it flatbedded home and the second time being close enough to push it 1/4 mile or less. And it only has 35,335 miles on it. I’ve owned it since March 8th, 2002. Thanks for any thoughts and replies. Steve.
@@stevez6499 mine never shut off on me. I’ve had two similar issues with other vehicles and it turned out to be bad throttle bodies.
@@mrnobodysgarage Thank you for your reply.
Gotta find one of these for a friend. I'm guessing the wagons are hard to find?
@@bemad7886 there just aren’t many left unfortunately. No one realized how cool they are until it was too late 😁. (I actually have mine listed for sale now)
If you only had to replace the mid-shaft coupler… 1) how would you remove just the coupler & 2) you think only shifting the engine forward would give you enough room to replace it?
Doubt it. No safe way to keep it from spinning. Everything on the SJ is actually pretty easy to remove so just yank the gas tank, slide the motor forward, remove the whole midshaft so you can work on it on a bench. You’ll have to use a prop tool on the backside to keep it from spinning while you remove the coupler. Depending on how tight it was on, you might have to heat it a bit to break it loose.
@@mrnobodysgarage T.Y.🍻 seems like pulling the mid-shaft out is the easiest option as I read more about it. I’ll likely put and ADA biller coupler on the mid-shaft and crankshaft coupler since I’m down there. Any recommendations in where to get the prop tool? And/or tips during disassembly/reassembly? Big thanks.
@@kevinfisch1785 should be able to find the tool on eBay/Amazon for pretty cheap. Use a good sturdy vice and a long crow bar wrapped in a towel or cloth. (Heat if you need it) Leverage is your friend 😉
Its basically, what youd expect when new 👍👍.... Maybe do a call out to restore KZreadr 🏆👍...... Excellent video...... anyone spot the FORD hat🤣🤣🤣👍
If that is a 1983 model it wouldn't have the black headlight surrounds; they would be silver. The black didn't come until later. The 3.3 liter (200 c.i.d.) Thriftpower "Falcon-six" was standard on the wagons that year and it was no stormer. My 1981 Ford Thunderbird had a dashboard like that. IIRC Ford never offered a V-8 in the wagon; they did in the sedan in 1984-85 and called it the LTD LX. It was basically a Fairmont with a facelifted nose. The straight-six cars didn't have overdrive; they had the C-5. GREAT VIDEO!
It is indeed an ‘83 (maybe an early production?)
Instructions unclear, replaced the soap in my shower with Sweet Patina.
You did it right. Now you’ll walk around all day with a nice matte finish AND you’ll be water repellent.
Nice
Found your video by being in the middle of a midshaft rebuild but I typically adjust that coupler gap by sliding the motor forward and back on the rubber mounts. Much easier than removing the midshaft, which I just did without removing the engine. Just remove battery, slide motor forward to the gas tank, and then twist it trade’s the starboard to make room to pull the midshaft out. I use a 4mm Allen bit as a gap gauge to measure on 4 sides of the couplers.
I always try sliding the motor first but when the mid shaft was rebuilt, it wasn’t pressed in as far as it should have been unfortunately.
OMG the funniest line ever everybody that had that problem knows exactly the most annoying sound in the world lol you are so funny. Appreciate it.😂
thank you so much for this video. My C blend motor by gas pedal was my bad one. King Ranch has fancy pedal that you need a 13mm socket to get the 3 bolts loose and get it out of the way. My local auto parts had a Dorman part in stock, and all Ford parts will be too late and ship when I was out of town. Again, thanks!
Glad it was helpful.
I bet a 280z wouldn’t have this problem…
A Viper probably wouldn’t either 😉
Thank you for sharing. Your wife must be proud of you
She’s just happy she can get down the road again 😁
Great video but would help if you put the year make and model of the truck your working on in the description!
It’s the first thing I mention in the video but I can add it to the title also.
RC7 is the only spoiler of this style I'd buy. Sorry you had a bad experience with the auto aero
Notes for next time amigo. The driver side, you have to align the door the actuator attaches to with a 1/4 inch socket to match the position of the new actuator. New actuator should come with the tool for the socket. And when mine failed it was the teeth on the wheel under the circuit. Just got brittle and popped one off.
But great content for sure. I learned the same stuff. Came here looking for how to adjust that door. So thought I would share
Hmmmm…. Mine didn’t come with any tool… I actually didn’t have to align it either. It was a straight replacement. That annoying part took like 5 mins to swap.
@mrnobodysgarage dang lucky you! That was the most frustrating part for me. The gapped side just wouldn't line up with the door and you can't spin the actuator obviously. But yeah mine came with a little tool for it. Otherwise I probably would have made it worse 🙃
@@twnable Yes you are right. The exposed gear on actuator has a keyway and must be aligned with blend door keyway. The Dorman comes with the alignment tool not the Motorcraft. I was able to cut down a plastic knife to align the parts.(fits inside the the blend door female gear to turn and align with new actuator. New actuator has a alignment arrow at keyway) I was laying face up and kind of difficult to get the prospective of what your seeing. If I was more flexible I would start face down and look up. LOL
😭 dam man! Do car manufacturers make anything easy ?
i´ve seen some videos and all have the seats too far laid down if more in a correct position you can feel better the car and safer this imediatelly as you start to drive it ,it´s not to sleep but to drive fast ,in this position you can´t feel the car and have dificulties to handle it even at 60 miles an hour you feel it not easy to keep it in a straight line, i´m not saying you have to put it in a 90 degrees position but not so laid back well if with a girl even more laid back but if to drive it ,put it in driveable position, this is not me critisizing is just giving a good info in how to drive cars
I got a 1984 for 17.5k 6 years ago convertible 33k miles now going about for 29-31k there for sure bottomed out and on the rise. They are known for dependably and very easy to work on. 😅
Saw the title for this video and it just reminds me of this guy I seen around by the name of Alexandre Claudia, he's got a Delorean with an LS and it's absolutely insane
Great information! I hope to one day do this swap, and I’m excited to see yours completed. Keep up the great work!
Door doesn’t open from the inside? On the passenger side?? Sounds like a feature.
Actually… someone you may know - broke that door a while back. (Maybe it wasn’t his fault but he was last to touch it, so = his fault)
Love this build, and the way you shoot your videos. I love watching Deloren builds. They a such epic cars and it’s fun to see one that need help get the mods to make it run as good as it looks.
Thanks so much.
What exactly is the part number you replaced (the one right above the gas pedal)? The part in the bag is 19E616-C but you when you point to the diagram, you say 19E616-B is the one "you are replacing right now" and point to 19E616-C as the one you thought you had to replace. Just want to confirm before ordering. Thanks. By far best video I've found.
The one on the driver side by the pedal that I replaced is #8L84-19E616-CA
Great content!
I understand that you live in Texas. You mentioned that you took your transmission and dropped it off for someone to go through. I own 1972 number 03922. Do you know if somebody here in Texas who can work on the ZFtransaxle?
I think the gentleman that did mine retired finally. Email me your info and I can get you in touch with the president of the DFW chapter. I’m sure he has a source. [email protected]
I noticed that you’re using a full length ramp to lift your car. What brand of ramp are you using?
@@oysterman1223 that was a KWIK LIFT. I sold that one and now I use the Quick Jacks (5000lb) They are much smaller and easier to use. They can be stored under the car or hung on a wall.
@@mrnobodysgarage OK thank you so much!
I only saw one bed in that love shack…
We may have pushed two of them together 🤣
You have 9 weeks to finish that DeLorean.
Ha! Stay tuned for the next video…
what's with all the snaps down the sides?
Not snaps… they’re bolts for the body kit. He’s going to replace they with more flush mount hardware.
1:24 Guessing JDM import, maybe a Kei truck.
6:37 Was right about a JDM import, but not a mini truck/Kei truck. Very cool car for sure.
It’s pronounced “Buck-ees”. 😜
isn't it just plastic? i think if you heated it enough it would have bent
Heat didn’t work on this one.
