Never underestimate what one man can do in his garage.

As usual, absolutely stellar metal shaping to make a new, beautiful, wheel arch.

Truly amazing how you surpass each video and still keeping things basic.

Fantastic work. The sand bag is pure genius! Very well done.

GT 1900 is going to be first class with your workmanship. Kids are missing out today, In the 70s at secondary school we learnt, Sheet metal work ( plumbing and jewellery), Basic Machining( lathe work, shaper), Electrical, Carpentry, & Photography, and graphics to plan the work in these classes.

Always awesome music and your phenominal skills. More vids please!!!.😃😃😃

Awesome video as always! Love to watch the progress in such a short time, great skills!

Love the metal work, and the dedication to restoring this car. I can't say that anyone else would've fixed this car; most would consider it too far gone and found a better example to work with. But you're so far into it now might as well finish it! Good job.

Thanks for sharing your videos. You are impressive!

Thanks for the video! It"s nice to look at your work and there is something to learn

You have endless skills. Absolut stunning!!

Everything is a tool if the profile is right 🙂! Nice one with the sledge hammer.. You really set the standard high for an amateur like me who wants to learn these skills..

Love it Basic tools You make it look easy

Brilliant fabrication matey ! Keep up the good work

Гарна робота для гарної машини. Добрі навички при мінімумі інструменту. Дякую.

Nice job , a little story when I was at school we had 2 woodwork teachers and 2 metalwork teachers our metalwork teacher would throw hammers at kids not paying attention you would be working away clatter bang a hammer would bounce off the wall he was a nutcase the other teacher would make you carry a leather sand bag around the room with your arm stretched out above your head all the weight pressing down on your shoulder joints and elbow my brother got him , the bag of sand reminded me of it , I've always liked them , I was a panel beater at a Vauxhall dealers (GM UK at the time) in the 70's there was a story going round when they were new they had to fill chassis sections with concrete to keep the front ends down .

Amazing Video again. Love to the the process you make in Detail!

😮 so nice 👍

Amazing work and how to find solutions!!! ❤❤

Thank you

Youre work is very perfekt 😊

Great job!!!

There will be infact some Opel GT under all the rust. 60% OpalGT, 40% rust.

Respect.

CAD or Cardboard Aided Drafting works well if you take the time to get the sheet metal formed correctly.

The problem on the GT is: even though it is *technically* based on the Opel Kadett / Olympia it almost shares no bodywork with them - a section for the rear axle and the gearbox tunnel maybe, but that was it. The floor does not match due to position of the seats further rear and the front part is different due to the placement of the engine behind the front axle instead of on top of it. This in return makes the main front axle carrier different, even though you just have to remove the motor mounts from a new one .... well ... if you get one ... 🙂

Beatiful work, as always. Are your little anvils made from old railway tracks ? I'm sure that you would find it useful to make some T dollies. I know that I have mentioned Tony Fitzparick's channel to you before, but he has a very good video on youtube about making simple tools, including T dollies that he uses a lot in his fabrications. Best wishes.

wie kann so ein auto nur so verrostet sein......es wird ja regelrecht komplett neu aufgeaut...wahnsinn...

I am restoring a 1971 Opel, GT, but I hope I don’t run into what you did

Hi. You really need an English Wheel, it helps too much.

Another story those oval number plates on the wall , I was working at a garage in the 80's a guy came on with thing it was a Mazda coupe left hand drive with the oval plates he had just had it UK registered he was a Squaddie he wanted the plates swapped over I put the new plates on he said just throw the old ones away being a bit of a car nut and so was my brother I gave the plates to him , a couple of years later he asked me to help his mate bring a ex US army GMC panel van back home it was over 100 miles away , we got there it was the middle of winter and snowing the van had no drivers side front window and no number plates he pulls out the oval plates from a bag , said you have got to be joking we had to drive the thing back no tax MOT or insurance with false plates on and no windscreen in the middle of a snow blizzard half way home the road was partially blocked by a big crash so had to drive past very slowly as the police had slowed everyone down , when we got back I said I wanted the plates back as he was not doing that again , he did same mate but with a ex US army truck he's still got them .
