Well, at least at some perspective this will be more durable than original. 😄 Thanks for comment.

I agree. I think you still find sisu to an extent here in Norway as well, but maybe less ingrained than earlier.

Thanks for the comments. I thinks it is common in all Nordic countries, we just need it here up north. But I would say that since this is my first big project, I truly have found my own sisu with this....

Still can’t really believe what I see here. I know experienced body builders that would have never even tried that job with the vents. Phantastin even if it makes obvious to me what an amateur I am. 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed it!

Vielen Dank für den Kommentar, nicht jeder mag diese Art, Videos zu erstellen: Aber bei mir funktioniert das

HAH, surely if my videos are highlight of your week, you could do better 😂😂. But seriously, thanks for the comment. I also have few KZfaq channels that when new episode comes out, it cheers me up !!!

Thank you very much Thorsten !!

Thank you very much! Yes, at this point I have not been tempted to do any shortcuts, and happy about it... This car would have cost me a 100K already if done by professionals..

As stated in my previous comment , After spending almost a two months around that rear window frame and vent grill, I am SO ready to move on...

Thanks for the good observations and you nailed the status completely. I started the rear window vents on my Christmas holiday, and put it (almost) together at the beginning of February. I was so fed up with the panel, and had a constant fear at the back of my head, that this might not work, and I need to find new roof. Only thing remaining is welding the inner beam and panel, and I have bought a special weld through 2K panel glue, since the gap between the water groove, and outer vent panel must be watertight, yet spot welded since it is one of the key seams that take in the stress of car lateral movement, and is the key point for torsional strength. So it must be strong, yet waterproof. Animations, yes. The past few episodes has been VERY time consuming, and since I have only few hours at the time to work with, every minute counts...Therefore, the story telling has been very mundane for past two episodes...Thanks for great comment, and for the follow !!

@@GT1900garage to be honest i was wondering why you used that 2K coating. But after your explanation it’s totally clear. You have to make sure that this section is save for the next 50 years ☺️

Thank you very much! Appreciate your comment.

Surely hope so....thanks for the comment !

Thanks for the comment, glad you find them entertaining...

Ever tried? This is my first try with complex sheet metal work, and getting along quite ok... One will find their limits only by trying to reach them...not beforehand.

Thanks...at least on some parts its more durable, for sure...

Welcome aboard! Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for a vote for a color.. Definitely a plain color, no bling bling.

Thanks for uplifting comment. The speech is from Steve Jobs when he describes his motives and passion to the industry. I saw that interview and immediately know I need to include that to next video intro. Glad you liked it....

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks for the comment, hopefully was worth it ...

@@GT1900garageyeah totally worth it:-) love the ending with the teaser for the next episode

Thanks, much appreciated.

Vielen Dank und vielen Dank für den Kommentar. Ich freue mich zu hören, dass Ihnen der Stil des Videos gefallen hat. Nicht jeder mag es 😂

Glad you liked it!

Hah, yep. So far I still think it is a good idea, but not sure if I think so at the end of the project.

@@GT1900garage Just be thankfull you aren't paying someone else for those hours!

Yep, so far the car would have cost me a fortune...

Thanks for the comment.. Glad you liked the video !

Achieved a next level - much appreciated.

Appreciate !

Thanks George. I AM SO GLAD IT IS OVER....After spending almost a two months around that rear window, I am SO ready to move on...

Thank you. Appreciate your comment.

Well in this case it meant the this panel, once welding it in, no changes possible. But yes, there was a point of no return when I hauled the car from Germany to Finland...there was no possibility to back up anymore...

That was me goofing around on last night, after totally fed up with sheet metal work 😂

Thanks for the views and comment !

Nochmals vielen Dank für den Kommentar.

Thanks, Yes, i think at least for those who are working with GT, I try to give some pointers....Not necessarily the correct ones, but enough material to learn from...

Thank you so much 😀

Thanks Matt, Next episode will continue where this ends.... stay tuned.

Thank you, appreciate your comment.

After spending more than a month with the damn thing.. I AM SO glad I can move on to the next part 😂😂

Thanks, appreciate your opinion...

Thanks again! Yes, design wise it is one off...no wonder the same design never ended up to another car. Fabrication wise it was a nightmare !!

After paying for it, and paying to get it transported from Germany to Finland, Yes, I truly want that car on the road 😂😂 Thanks for the comment.

Have you tried? One can find their limits only by trying to reach them...

Thanks, yes : the devil is in the details...

Awesome! Thank you for watching. Greetings to Kanada !

Många GT-ägare fixar detta felaktigt och regnvattnet kan inte lämna bilen fritt genom rätt kanaler. Det är därför den här delen är så rostig

Ja det är en konstig konstruktion..Min Gt har klarat sig rätt så bra faktiskt...Kör hårt... @@GT1900garage

Ja, varje gång det börjar regna måste man köra hårt

Thanks for the comment, stay tuned for more ....

Thanks for the comment....

Thanks again very much!

Yes, me too.. they are 1960-1970 Top of the pops collection. Collecting those, still missing like half of them...

Hah, remember, you only see the good parts on youtube 😂 You have GT too? or some other project?

@GT1900garage 71' under deconstruction. I'm (thinking) of fabbing an eyebrow fairing for the rear vents. It always bothered me having water draining into the car..

@@chrismascher8667 sounds interesting. What kind of design you had in mind?

@GT1900garage I haven't got past the idea stage. Maybe something like a 20 teens Subaru outback. I don't have the metal fab skills you do so I would probably use fiberglass.

Would be very interested in seeing the end result of that....please keep me posted...

tell me about it....Im kinda interested to see where to this all end up ....

Thanks, well the damn piece took more than a month to fabricate, and week to weld in... But hopefully it last as long as I will...

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it...

Thank you very much! The music usually is selected by the mood and the feel of the day. Sometimes working with this car is smooth and relaxing, sometime definitely the opposite... The music usually tells the story for me...

Thank You for watching and commenting....

Kiitos paljon !!!

Thanks, it is cool project to do, but sometimes I just wish the amount of work could be smaller...

Thanks, I found three of those in local fleemarket, and fell love to the 60-70 vibes they present. I decided to collect the whole set, still missing about 50 of those !!!

@@GT1900garage They used to be EVERYWHERE when I was a kid. None of the music on them is the legitimate hit and can range anywhere from a pretty good cover to downright AWFUL. I'm sure most of us bought them just for the scantily-clad girl on the front cover.

Same here. They have no collectible value over here, and usually could be found only on "give-away" boxes in record stores or 1€ pile in second hand stores.. But they are SO cool, I'm planning to collect them all...I think I need to expand my radar outside Finland to complete the series... So keep your eyes open...

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Will do!

Thanks for the comment ! Winter is always too long...But anyway, this car is not on the road by next summer...

Hi Arie, surely hope so. I think I would be ready for the summer, and ready to drive my GT in the summer !!

Thanks for the comment, MG TF is super cool car !!! Good luck with that. Well, this is my first big project, so we all just need to start at some point. TF:s are bit simpler at body structure, so bodywork should not be overwhelmingly difficult. Good luck with your project !!

It is... elegant, yet very much raw, almost a prototype kinda vibes all over it...

Greetings to VA. I appreciate your comment !!

HAH, actually, there are lot of things that I notice only while editing...Hope the next episode would be as intriguing as the teaser...

Humble appreciation for being with us since the beginning .....Stay tuned til the bitter end.

Thanks, very good point. I have purchased a new engine for this, and wondering about gearbox. If the ratio is not optimal for nice sunday drives, I might want to update the gearbox as well... Is your GT roadworthy and in use?

@@GT1900garage Not at all, I need to restaure it. I don't have so much place

Appreciated.

Muchas gracias por el comentario positivo, lo agradezco.

Thanks for the comment

Thanks for comment, Actually this damn panel took more than a month to do it...So I am SO happy to move on. The lower beam and vent beam needs to be welded when I have side panels up an ready, since I may need to have access inside the C-pillar. Also, the joint between the vent beam needs to be done waterproof. I have ordered a weld through body panel glue, since the seam must be watertight, yet structurally strong (= welds). I don't have website, sorry

Дякуємо за коментар. Так, це було не найпростіше

Ja, ich bin wirklich froh, dass die Fensterventile fertig sind. Nach einem Monat der Korrektur bin ich völlig bereit, mit der nächsten Korrektur fortzufahren

Thanks for the comment. Within this project. This is my first attempt to restore car at this magnitude...

Appreciated.

Thanks for the thumbs up

Yep, tell me about it... it was no surprise that this venting solution was a one car wonder....

Yes it is. I already had a shelter found for it, but this year winter came in one whoosh, and missed the opportunity to drive it there....

🙏

Thanks for the thumbs up

Thanks for the comment. This small English wheel is good for small pieces. Actually I thought it would be more of a toy, but it is proven to be useful several times already. If you need to do bigger panels, floor model is what you need.

🙏🙏 Thanks for the thumbs up...

Yes, the GT was a small European "sportscar" and 68 Corvette was the brother with steroids. I personally like small peculiar European cars, as I drive 1000cc Mini throughout the summer. Not very fond of American cars, but surprisingly, the 68 Vette is one of my favourites...

@@GT1900garage Love Italian inspired design Had a Mini for 2 years then found a Cortina GT that hadn't rusted out yet. Love those days of 55 cents a gallon and 5 dollar tires.

Thanks. That was my last night fooling around, instead of boring metal work. Hopefully next repairs are easier, and I have more time and energy for these video treats.

🙏🙏

@@GT1900garage 👏👏👏⭐❣️

Thanks for the comment. I think this is my niche, I am not that much a narrator...But time will tell...

Easily !!

Thank you very much Thorsten !!

Thanks for the thumbs up !

@@GT1900garage I binged watched this build and today was the first newest one, I like the tweeks you are doing and making it better, it's such a cool car from my childhood. Great stuff, I thank you!

@@rjung_ch Thanks, appreciate for watching the series through !!
