Wiring is dull when you have to do it yourself...I got 4 mins in and just gave up watching. Only so many brackets I can watch someone make too.

If they finish it I'll give it another go...just don't want to invest the time and then they quit.

 

[RedOrZed]

There is no way they're going to quit. Not far now. Definitely worth your time.

And another for Christmas Eve...

Will the end ever be nigh?

Top work as usual, although I was expecting the panted shell to be unveiled right at the end.

 

[Rannsachair]

I found the latest episode quite satisfying, always makes me feel good when you turn a pile of corroded aged parts into something you know is good and looks as good or better than new. Not sure about the passivate colour though.

I love the CAD work, cardboard aided design...…………...

One thing surprised me in this episode, why hammer in wheel studs when you have a hydraulic press

It did seem that way to me too but it has to be said the powder coaters did do a really nice job.

 

[Jaffman]

Absolutely **Language**ing horrid colours on those parts.

Calling it early, shell will be British racing green. Also we won’t see that shell for about 6 months.

next will be engine build, then gearbox and before we know it it will be the summer of year 7 of this build and the shell will reappear

yes did seam that way look at our nice new free to us x ton press
(did think every time they put a new part to be pressed youd see 2 scantly clad ladys hanging off either side of the mechine

You may be right about the BRG, it would explain the passivate chosen. Maybe with a white roof?

I don't mind a bit of 'product placement' here and there; that set of press tools looked really useful.

its how they're paying for it, and its not too intrusive, so i dont have a problem with it.

I have no issue with product placement, it would have been good to have a link to the press tools in the description like other youtubers do.
