The scene with the seam sealer and running the finger along like caulking is a satisfying feeling.

i must not have been the only one to notice but that seam sealer really made the whole buttom of the car come together! lovely work :D

It is the small details that no one sees that separate a great project from a good project. Watching your dad apply the seam sealer, I realize he must have caulked literally miles and miles of deck seams as the bead of sealer is just the right amount. Both of you put a lot of thought into what goes into this car and are not afraid to redo and correct prior mistakes, which is not something you see all the time. Great job to both of you!!

Am glad I came across your channel

Great work team! Who knew the wiper bracket secretly wanted to be a colander?🙂

You really did mean attention to detail. That wiper motor frame is a thing of beauty. Bet you wanted a compact right angle drill for those fuel/brake lines though.

Great progress. Sharing one data point about the topic of firm/solid engine mounts. I had very firm engine mounts on my Miata that is a dedicated race car (SCCA STL - Super Touring Light). Was having all kinds of transmission and shifting issues. In an act of desperation, installed Mazda Comp motor mounts (firmer than factory original but still compliant) and all of my transmission issues have magically disappeared! Plus the car is not nearly as "buzzy" inside which is nice bonus.

I know exactly how do you feel, when something has to be redone. I have just had to remake my front lower control arms, because it warped after welding it.

Nothing better than taking the mind off life and focusing it on a rewarding task!! I've a set of mk2 polo coupe S wheels I've decided to refurbish in my free time and when it's happening, is the only thing happening in that moment... (excluding breaks to make more tea, obviously!)

Many years ago I used to watch American car shows " 3 weeks to build the" car in fact reality drivel . Nowadays I like Retropower, Allen Millyard something more intelligent. Your channel is as good as anything going and especially lovely as your father is involved. My comment is yes Autosol is just the best, I like shiny things!

I respect the detail in machining the bushings, but I’ve used pvc fittings for similar purposes with great longevity. I’ve also hot fitted lengths with liberal glue and overspray covered quite well.

For me, this project is an expression of joy in the slow and methodical attention to detail and a job well done 👍

Attention to details is amazing and so pleasing to watch. Brill as usual.

Please fit a balance bar type pedal box to control front to rear braking effort.

I had a cracking AXGT, it were brilliant.

very very innovative guys . most would appreciate how these small details take.

Another excellent video with the build coming on very nicely.

Another interesting and entertaining video. I particularly liked the lathe work section. Thanks to you all.

I had 6" Dunlop's on my mini, they looked stunning. It didn't take long for them to be stolen.

Great content and such an enjoyable watch. Inspiring and relaxing at the same time.

You can use dishsoap as a makeshift liquid masking 😉 Let it dry to tacky, then paint. Once the paint has dried just wash with warm water and some light rubbing.

Fantastic work, explanation and talk. Old tools are the best. I cannot stand all those channels with "All the Gear and no Idea, nor skills" or just shilling for tool companies

Great video, like you say, progress you can't see, but essential 😊 it's looking good tho, fabulous hard work

It might not be my dream car but the way you are building it "is", if that makes sense...

A Citroen AX that weighs 500kg? Maybe without the the engine and wheels...😆

I don't understand the super stiff engine mounts in a transverse setup, because you can run a softer mount and cancel the engine/gearbox rocking with a torque arm (dogbone, or gas shock) and staill maintain that great NVH

Great design is oft over looked and under appreciated, those little widgets could have quite easily been a bit of hose or something. But I think it’s worth taking the time to showcase the work that’s gone into them, because all being well they’d rarely be seen. You mentioned that the tasks undertaken in this episode were meditative, that’s the word that came to mind watching you carefully sand away the black paint. I think it’s important have parts like that on the car, as it makes more than just a car but your car.

Wow, that bracket. I’m inspired to find some Al parts on my Miata. At this point, I sure hope you finish this car before you (possibly) have kids.

Love the build❤

Very nice work guys. Something to add to the description. In this episode Dad is wearing his "Make/Model" watch. Add link in description. If more than one watch over the episode, list them. Some nice watches shown and I always wonder what they are. Most look too nice for workshop use! 😁

Watch Oak swamp! Steam punk style engineering! The cars looking great.

Those brushes will make nice boot brushes if you secure them to the floor at the door with a little wood spacer below them to raise them off the floor 30mm or so.

Amazing...

Adding lightness to the wiper motor mount.

You two seam like very nice guys. I enjoy your enthusiasm and attention to detail, and most of all watching your dream become a reality. I have been watching for a while now, starting from near the beginning of this project and was sure that I was subscribed. While watching this episode I noticed that I was not. I’ve now subscribed or possibly resubscribed. Looking forward to your next post.

Your dad might be the only engineer I've ever met that thinks about serviceability 😂 There's a saying amongst my mechanic friends that an engineer will crawl over a pile of virgins to screw a mechanic. Putting the lines to one side in order to keep linkages accessible is a subtly brilliant move. 🤘

Great work both. One complaint as one ginger to another Oliver that hairstyle is not really aerodynamic. Lol Yep pure jealousy I'm becoming more and more solar powered yet it keeps on raining here in the UK. I'm sad to say i remember the Dunlop, Cosmic and Astrali wheels from the 70's. I had Astralis on my Toyota Celica twin cam...... wishing now i had kept it

Honda.civic ep3 type r don't use fuel return system as standard could save more weight by not having the extra fuel pipe

Merch idea: dual purpose loo brush/ parkway floor wood brush. Lightweight model of course.

Take a clue from the aircraft industry an buy some Clecos.

Have to stay up late to be the first to view the latest upload. 😊

you have rear brake line as well as fuel supply and return but what about the clutch line?

Is that your dad's toothbrush you are using to clean the wiper bracket?

arent you supossed to primer before you do the seam sealers?
