Ace project, admire your perseverance.

I’m trying to capture a few more minds with the intro. It’s actually only about 5 seconds longer than what they’ve always been but gives a lot more information.
As every YouTube not really a fan of my channel so it doesn’t matter how good my editing gets lol
I also hate editing! Not sure if I’ve mentioned it

Your obviously a very competent mechanic, clearly, your tig alu skills I'm envious, welding, bodywork, electrics. And the rest.
I'm a great believer when you you go to a restaurant, if it's good, you say it's good, if it's crap, you say it's crap.
Your YouTube channel in my books is right up there with the best. I can't offer any advice on how to improve your views and all that. But the editing the content and all that is great. Shame it's not better appreciated.
But is YouTube fame really your end goal ?
Enjoy what your doing and you seem to. Wish I had your energy, motivation and perseverance.
Good sh1t man
Thank you, appreciate it.
Jack of all trades used to cover my skill set
I don’t want YouTube fame and you’re right I’m on a budget. But a bit of both would solve the other lol.
More YouTube money = more money to spend on the car, but more YouTube = more fame and I’m not really into that.
It’s why I’m horrendous at keeping to a video release schedule too, I don’t care enough, and YouTube has demoralised me enough for one lifetime

I'm a Jack of all trades too, more marine orientated, but I respect your skill set, your automotive I'm marine.
Your vids are great and professional, as with your skills.
Enjoy it, I'd be astounded as time goes by more people don't find your channel, but I guess in this niche there's a huge amount of material and competition on YouTube which may be your biggest problem.

Another cracking video Jaffman!
I think your idea of doubling up on the fog light lamps should do the trick. But the build's coming along a treat.
That colour is really growing on me too!
Love you build!!
Just a quick question when you were sealing up the rear light connection boxes with what looked like a tube of silicone, does the side trigger mechanism on the tube just come on that product or is it universal piece you can use on any tube?
Thanks

Comes on the tube. It’s amazing for laying out a line on a sump or something.
Something like this

Hi Jaff!I can’t tell if the rear wheel stick out too much, they’re the same offset as the old ones but 1 inch bigger and proper tyres.
Colour is growing on me but I’m not afraid to change that either

Nice pic. I take it that front bumper is still to aligned properly
I see what you mean about the rear whels, they do fill that arch well! I think aesthetically, if there was perhaps 1/2" or so less sticking out they might look better (I'm just comparing with the way the wheels fit the front arch)?
Oh, and what do you mean the colour is growing on you? That was my line, I thought you loved it?!
BTW, is there another video somewhere I might not have seen?

That’s what I was afraid of. They’re 9.5 on the rear, take a 1/2 off that and 9 inch wheels are difficult to come by. I might try custom subframe arms instead
The wheel colour is growing on me, I hate white lol. The car colour is still A* amazeballs.
No video yet, I’ve currently got 2 bumper episodes in the making, I don’t know wether to split them up into 4 or leave them as is. Both about 40 mins long atm

What size are the fronts? Could you drop the rears down to say, an 8.5"? I know you have a lot of power to put down, but it's not like you have a huge weight on them.That’s what I was afraid of.

Aah! I misunderstood! Thought you were talking about the colour of the car. And no, not white! They look awful IMO
I can watch 40 mins, easy!

Fronts are 8.5. Bit weedy though imo. I don’t dislike what I currently have, I just don’t know if I like it
Going 18” instead of the 17 has made a huge difference
It’s possible but I think I’ll get away with it once it’s been for a wheel alignment, should pull the bottom of the wheel in a little so it doesn’t look like it’s falling over itself
I raised the front today though which has helped the look, and I’ll put 15 instead of 10mm spacers in the front too to help it look a bit better. When the skirts are on it should also help so I think I’m ok for now.
Also put the bumper on properly today to appease the pedants

Not keen on the ign lock, think you should fit it inside the car....
You can however legally drive it to a pre-booked MOT or take it to a track day.
Needs an IVA and re-registration before it can go on the road.
