In part 2: disassembling the motor and suspension and setting up the turning rig. Due to shape of the car, balancing the car to the rig was more laborious than expected.

Must have been quite a task, those animations of the parts walking away from the car 😮 good job though !

Thanks for the comment, It of course take some effort, but not as much as one might expect. Besides, it is fun addition to work with the car itself.

Thanks for the nice video. I think that your GT is an GTJ. Black bumpers and less chrome.

@GT1900garage Жыл бұрын

Yes, it is. Apparently 1972 model, registered late 1971

Great work. Body is in very bad condition ((( Hope can find way to fix it, this car deserves at least 400,000kms more

Yes, it require lot of work, but still very much doable...just stay tuned for next episodes..

Yeah the engine was under the bulkhead, that is why the valve cover is halve high and low. I think he blow oil too over the valves the rings are bad now. Oh the engine was with hydraulic tappet like the Rekord D. To set the valves you don´t need a feeler gauge.

Kyllä on. aika selkeä mielikuva, tarkka värikoodi vielä hakusessa. En sitä vielä ole julkistanut koska tässä on vielä hetki duunia ennen kuin auto menee maalattavaksi. Mieli voi muuttua.. Mutta on yksi niistä jotka esiteltiin jaksossa #19

Einfache Arbeit, ich habe eine ziemlich gute Dokumentation zur Verfügung. Ich spiele die Videos einfach rückwärts ab, wenn ich mit dem Zusammenbau des Autos beginne 😅
