**A Day in the Garage: Rebuilding and Refurbishing a Classic**

Our day started early, around 4:00 AM, as we began our ambitious project to restore a classic car. The team was geared up to tackle various tasks that would bring this vehicle back to its former glory. First on the agenda was installing the aerocapture hood pins, which required precise alignment of the hood. Our team carefully pulled it into position and made sure everything was in place.

**Bleeding the Brakes**

Next, we moved on to bleeding the brakes, a crucial step that ensures the car's safety. This involved pulling the brake fluid reservoirs out, bleeding them to remove any airlocks, and then putting them back in their original position. We also had to replace the hydro weld in the bracket for the hydro system, as well as rebuild the seat and install a new seat rack. Additionally, we rebuilt the seat belt, which was not functioning properly. The team worked diligently to complete these tasks, despite some initial issues with the brake lines.

**Hydro Lines and Brake Calipers**

One of the challenges we encountered was replacing the hydro lines. We had to run new lines and make adjustments to ensure they were properly fitted. Meanwhile, our technician, Trevor, was working on the brake calipers, which had three nipples instead of two. This required some creative problem-solving to get everything working smoothly. After making the necessary repairs, we found that one of the fittings had a leak, so we replaced it with a new crush sleeve.

**Oil Change and Tire Installation**

As the day progressed, we moved on to more routine tasks like changing the oil and installing new tires. The team worked efficiently to get everything done, but we did encounter some issues with the hood's overlap. We found that a hinge had been pushed back after an accident, which required us to make three options: oval out the bolts, slide them forward, or add JDM hood spacers. After some deliberation, we decided to weld a little brace right onto the hinge to stabilize it.

**Interior Work**

While our technician worked on the exterior, I focused on the interior, where I had to reline the sound deadening material and grind down some areas to get everything fitted properly. I also found that we needed to add some additional support to keep the interior in place. We decided to use a little plate to brace it and then weld a nice, sturdy crossbeam across the top.

**Seat Belts and Alignment**

Our technician, Trevor, was having some issues with the seat belts, which weren't cooperating as expected. We discovered that they had come out of the car and weren't locking properly. The handbrake worked fine, but we wished we had a 90-degree fitting for the seat belt to secure it properly. We ended up using a straight one instead, which wasn't ideal.

**Brake Lines and Suspension**

Trevor was also working on the brake lines, trying to get everything to work smoothly. He found that one of the lines had a leak, so we replaced it with a new one. The team then worked on adjusting the suspension, making sure everything felt solid and comfortable.

**Finishing Touches**

As the day drew to a close, we still had some tasks left to complete, including lowering down to throw the wheels onto the tires and getting them aligned properly. We made sure that our work didn't rub against any parts of the car, which was essential for creating a smooth ride.

**A Late-Night Sleep**

Despite the excitement and effort put into restoring this classic car, I found myself struggling with fatigue. In fact, I fell asleep in the car, much to Trevor's surprise. It wasn't uncommon for me to feel tired lately, but I couldn't quite explain why. The team reassured me that it was just a minor setback, and we pressed on.

**The End of Day One**

With all these tasks complete, our day had come to an end. We had made significant progress in restoring this classic car, and tomorrow would bring new challenges. As I looked at the finished product, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. We still had some work left to do, but for now, we could take a moment to celebrate our successes.

**A New Day Dawns**

As I put on my "no sleep shirt" for the next day's adventures in the garage, I couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow would bring. Would we finally get to test drive this restored car? Only time would tell, but one thing was certain – we were all committed to getting this project done, no matter what challenges lay ahead.

**The Journey Continues**

With our first day's work complete, we took a moment to reflect on the progress made and the tasks still left to tackle. The journey of restoring this classic car had just begun, and we were ready for whatever came next. Whether it was getting the alignment spot on or perfecting the seat belts, we knew that every detail mattered.

And so, with renewed energy and focus, our team settled in for another day of tinkering, fine-tuning, and bringing this beautiful classic car back to life. The adventure had just begun!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enstarting off the day in Shawn's beautiful house look how nice those places I love it it's like my favorite house we're getting a little bit of a late start because Trevor's uh what were you doing charted you didn't you're all the bright fittings you weren't helping me well so you're doing your makeup is what you're trying to say yeah like 370z makeup massage is that is she ready she's ready for you oh boy yeah that's like the sickest Mustang ever look at it so is sick dang all jokes aside check it out he's gonna bagged five Oh what's extra cool about it is he kind of needs bags cuz this driveway is pretty gnarly you would really have fun if your uncle's let sweet though is she loud wow sounds weird it's quiet about having long hair is that it's so long that it touches things like ceilings this even happens to me in my 240 such a ghouls doing so a new two-step launch does it do wheelies yeah like I didn't see those the serious button so it's not get serious that's pretty rad because remember it is not him driving the Mustang this way when you drive a Mustang it just makes you drive this man holy crap this place isn't your I own this place looks like it's literally eight thousand stories it's crazy we're just coming here because we need to get a bunch of fittings and stuff for the 370z handbrake so it's making a quick pit stop it's got the craziest nice-looking showroom literally looks like a Walmart of performance parts how did I not know this existed I really like the way that they have their displays set here it's really nice so cool how everything's just laid out we're gonna do the same thing with the Z that's where I got these new clips so unfortunately we had a couple different sticky hand brakes to choose from but Aaron's stole a reverse pull one we were gonna do it like matha Jun just set up and have the master inside here but the way that this one works it's not reversible it's just normal so when you pull it this needs to be behind it so we're probably gonna do something like kinda like this it just sex who's drunk and I have to cut up that center console quite a bit to make it fit we're putting in back here there's minimal cutting we think about a Trevor yeah damn erin stealing everything first drift event it's funny that we have two simultaneous trip builds of like new cars going on at the same time come on it's so nice this is what we need make life so much better so this one the way that it works when you pull it it pushes down on the bottom so you can have master in front it's cool little setup it's just gonna well just like this so for the hydro on the car unfortunately we didn't have enough time to get a dual caliper bracket so this is going to be the first car ever driven with an inline hydro basically instead of having your own set of dedicated Cal pers that are hooked up to the hydro you have a splice in the middle of the lines that go to the rear brakes and when you pull the handbrake it locks up the rear end but it also doesn't bunch of funky stuff on your brake pedal if your foot braking at the same time however I was told on these Carson's of the way that it's set up it has like a distribution block I guess we're not supposed to be able to notice it as much as we would on like an S chassis car so we'll see how it works right now we're just trying to make sure we have all the right fittings we should be able to just tap in right up underneath the wheel hopefully just bolt the tee up here so it'll t go to the handbrake and then the other side will go over here and then tee back into these fittings we needed some brake line cheese and we didn't feel like spending another hour and a half going back to Summit waiting for parts and stuff so conveniently there's a few broken down cars here that we are fair game to pull some parts off so we found a tee if you look right in here I'm just gonna pull that bad boy off right there and then we'll be chilling true just made us a plate really cool with some bolts that are just kind of blended into it so we can basically weld the plate to the trans tunnel and then the handbrake will sit right on top of it but before we do that we're gonna change a seat Aaron got us some cheap $200 seat that we're gonna put in so we're gonna mount that first just to make sure that it doesn't have any sort of issue with the handbrake I'm sure Aaron will be selling these Nismo seats and the Ark exhaust that was on the car a couple people are asking why we replaced it with the is our one the ark exhaust is cool but it's just very very very quiet it's heavy and it hung super super low where it likes scraped and everything the Isar one's tucked up really nice this cheap sounds good poor bolts on the seat and then I'm pulling it out but yeah if you want any of that stuff you probably set up longshore drift on Instagram I don't know that my work that might I don't know how here in talks we don't have sliders for the seat so we're basically gonna set it as far back as we can possible where Trevor can still reach the pedals and then that'll probably be the position for it look at that great certified seat yep so it is getting close to 9:00 p.m. the car is almost on Trevor you want to give them the rundown and what we got left to do to install the aerocapture hood pins align the hood I'd pull into the system bleed the brakes actually we still need to install the hydro weld in the bracket for the hydro install the seat rebuild a seat rack our seat belt because it doesn't unlock we got to do the hydro lines you ever need to run the house we're gonna line it yep put the new tires on put the tires on it make sure that it doesn't find anything it's only what we got to change the oil to trying to fit the hood right now we've got a little bit of an issue with a little bit of overlap so doesn't really want to shut when this thing got in an accident probably just pushed the hinge right back so we got three options can oval out the bolts so we can slide it for a little bit rebound the hinge or we can add some sweet JDM hood spacers but they're studs that we can't have that much yeah so I've been had welded this little brace right here we're just kind of mocking up the hand brakes yeah I'm just getting Trevor all that I want to do I know I didn't want to like start a fire in the car or do something like I'm gonna start a fire okay I didn't want to be that guy I just wanted to hear on the sit we have the fire extinguisher right cleaner yeah I just I just wanted to be safe but anyway you had to get rid of all the sound deadening here grinded down a little bit now he just looks like he's tacking this in place do you have like another piece like yeah we're gonna have there like a little plate like that down there to kind of just brace it a little bit more yeah then I'll have a nice weld across the top - so no been running into some issues with these seat belts they're just not really cooperating I think they came out of the car and just aren't really locking up anymore handbrake is welded works very nicely would have been nice if we had a nice 90 degree fitting so instead we kind of have the straight one coming out a little ugly like but um it started kind of running everything trying to make it look nice but the interior back together we got a lot of stuff to do Trevor heads Bentley two hours since the last update three hours oh yeah almost one now yeah yeah we're doing good we still need to believe the brakes install the seat do the alignment alignment but put one in it change the oil figure out those seat belts here at seat belts 348 doing the brake lines pumping everything up Trevor what are you finding out about the brave what the each caliper has two nipples on it yeah that we were on right you yeah I've actually got three so we had a leak over here on the tee fitting and we went and did all that and replaced a bunch of the lines did Jerry tell me nope okay so we replaced all the the basically we replaced the braided line with a hard line right here and had to do some stuff with the fittings and had to run a bunch of stuff and it's kind of rough right now just because we're like we need to get this thing going then we had an issue where once we got that leak fixed because the the other an line that we finally found laying around the shop it had a big leak then we couldn't get it to bleed so we were trying to believe the brakes and then one of the fittings up front had a leak in it and then we ended up having to use like a different little crush sleeve on the inside actually that seal up it feels really good now yeah now everything's real solid feels great hand brakes working so button up suspension so yeah it's only it's only 4:00 in the morning so so oil change done well change does seats in see does it has a seatbelt feels good this feels good and other than that we need to lower down throw the wheels of tires on it make sure that the wise fab doesn't rub on anything and then I'm ball I'm a little bit of an alignment and I think she's ready for today ironically even though I'm wearing a no sleep shirt right now actually happened last night and why I wasn't in the end of this video as we were bleeding the brakes I guess I was really tired and I literally just fell asleep in the car just like this which is really weird I don't know why because I've been getting plenty of sleep but I've just been kind of feeling funny lately I don't know if maybe I'm sick or something but anyway I'm sorry thankfully Shauna and Trevor took the camera kind of finished up with closing out the video but got a few little things left to work out on the cars and hopefully we will get to test it in the next video very exciting I'll see you guys tomorrowstarting off the day in Shawn's beautiful house look how nice those places I love it it's like my favorite house we're getting a little bit of a late start because Trevor's uh what
