- Oh, there's a bunch of water in it, wow.
- [Steve] No.
- [David] Tons.
- [Steve] Really?
- Still water, still water,
lots of water and that's all.
Nothing else is coming out.
Oh dude,
oh wow.
Super sludgy, Steve.
Steve didn't want to change the oil,
which is understandable because he didn't want to find out
that there was a ton of water in it
and sludge and chunks.
You got any 90 weight, Steve?
- [Steve] (chuckling) Yeah.
- Oh, you should see the big chunk
that just fell out. (laughing)
(determined rock music)
- So there is not much more to do here
but install the brake hoses
and then we'll be able to bleed the brakes.
Down.
- Down and holding.
- And up.
- Up.
- Yeah, that's going to really suck.
We just spent the last half hour
trying to bleed the brakes
but this master is not flowing at all
to the back brakes
so it's a bad master, we determined that,
and I have a spare.
So, we're going to swap that out.
And then, hopefully, we'll have the brakes all done.
- Remember the Bar-B-Cuda?
Steve's '68 Barracuda that got all torched in the fire
actually even worse than this vehicle?
Well, it's fuel system is making a comeback,
guest starring appearance, I went and pulled it off
the Bar-B-Cuda in the shop
and strapped that one gallon fuel cell there,
got my clickity-clack going on right here
and got my switch happening
somewhere in here somewhere.
There it is, see how it just handily turns on and off,
that's a fuel system.
- You never know what you're going to find
when you're working an old car like this.
We tired for quite awhile to bleed the right rear brake here
and we were getting no juice.
That's because there is no brake line
connected to the brake.
It's actually broken off right down here
and it turns out to be pinched,
so it wasn't leaking a drop of fluid.
We ended up changing the master anyway,
it was pretty corroded.
I'm going to fix this by adding some new brake lines
and hopefully we'll have brakes at all four wheels.
(upbeat music)
(door clanking)
(mellow rock music)
I'm super into having the car look its best
and I planned on steeling Freiburger's
bitchin' Centerlines but this takes an extra long shank
and left hand thread to work with our hubs
so we can't even bolt that wheel on.
Which means, we're going to have mismatched tires and wheels
but, it'll get us down the road
and we'll get to try the car out.
- Clear? - Clear.
Whoa!
- [David] Man, looks more like a car already.
- Look at that.
- Oh yeah, ready?
- [Steve] Yep.
(engine firing)
- Whoa, shut it off!
(engine rattling)
What did you do?
- [Steve] Did you turn the fuel pump on?
- Yeah, you got sparks flying everywhere
off your water pump pulley.
(metal clanking)
It freaked me out at first but now I kind of like it,
come have a look.
- Is something wrong?
- Yeah, hear it?
- Oh!
Oh no!
We better turn it off.
- Think so?
- Yeah.
- Ah man.
So what Steve thinks is happening
is the bolts that go through the fan
all the way into that flange on the water pump
are sticking out the back side
and hitting the water pump itself.
So, he's going to add a washer to them,
which will fix it, which disappoints me greatly
because I really like the sparks. (laughing)
This was one of the better things
that's happened to us.
Okay, trying again, hopefully with no sparks this time.
(engine cranking) (metal clanking)
No, still doing it.
It's the pulleys hitting each other.
- Alright, shut the hood and let's go.
- Yep!
Back it on out.
That's what victory looks like.
Dude, it looks great!
(upbeat rock music)
This thing is luxury.
Wow, ugh,
oh, it doesn't breath good in here.
- No.
(coughing)
- [David] Ah, smells bad.
- [Steve] Yeah.
- Wow, this thing is smooth.
- [Steve] It is, isn't it.
- See, this is the value in just taking garbage
and making it run and drive.
You look at it you go, that car is junk,
I got to rebuild the whole thing from scratch.
I got to paint it, got to get an interior,
got to rebuild the motor.
No, you don't!
- No!
- You just have to cobble that garbage
and drive it find out if you like it.
- Oh, this thing is the cruise.
Meat, what do you think of the car?
Meat doesn't like it,
it's a little too dirt for his standards.
- Might be.
