I really hope that the allagro/integra is painted hearing aid beige with a brown vinyl roof and brown velvet-ish seats.😂😂

Like the new addition of the talk through from the builders . Could they be mic up though so there’s less background interference . Although the Stratos can interfere with my ears all day long 🇮🇹👍🙌🏻

I'm liking the format of the guys actually doing the work telling us what they've done, hopefully this willl be a growing feature of these posts....but in a noisy workshop they need microphones on their person.

Another great vid, thanks. Love the Stratos - but the dash material looks like a mock-up. Maybe just the bright sun on the lay of the material, but it catches eye 🤔

Another awesome video thanks guys. A few observations on the Stratos - this may be due to video quality, but the views of the dome interior looks like there are some poor finishes and the dash looks a bit how you going to me, could just be shadows or flock, I don't know. Wouldn't have thought to see this on such a superbly finished high-end build like this. Cheers, and thanks again.

Looking forward to the Allegro being finished, I always thought the Allegro was quite a nice looking car, My Dad was in charge of the development of the much hated Vanden Plas 1500, I really liked it, I remember as a kid being taken for a ride in the press car (VDP74N) and enjoying being in the only one on the road at the time, I then went on to work in the motor industry and at one point worked for a company called Spectre, we used to drive around in the only prototype R45, always lots of guessing games from petrol station staff as to what the car was Ferrari ? Lamborghini ?

Scott and Bobby he did a great job explaining what fabrication work they have done.

I've always loved the lancia stratos and the mk2 jag but i never imagined i would some day have so much interest in the Morris minor and the Austin alegro.

If you hand over to these guys….can you give them a microphone?

Some people will no doubt be sick of the Escorts but I am not! I love seeing the progress on all of the builds, keep it coming!

That Stratos is as ballistic as I thought it might be. And awsome looking and sounding too. Superb as ever.

Tom deserves a medal for doing those escort wings.....no more hammer rash!

Noticed when driving Stratos headlining stitching not straight and also dash looks unfinished? Just doesn’t look like the usual standard that you normally finish cars Anyway love everything you guys do , unbelievably talented team.

Stratos sounds amazing when the supercharger kicks in, Landcruiser looks amazing! 👍

Allegro with trend setting brown carbon fiber! Luverly. Nice to hear from the artists working on the steel.

Stratos: if it were mine I'd body colour the front and rear grills and paint the wheels gold.

Great quick turnaround on Utah - impressive...

Great episode. Loved the in car footage of the Stratos! Sounded epic!! Pleas include more of this. Great hearing from the guys, please can you mic them up next time as was not as clear as Nat and Cal.

I had to pause the video and say I LOVE THE NEW idea with Scott showing the hands on fab work.

That supercharged v6 whine is music I've been urgently waiting to hear it because I've got an Eaton supercharged 2.4 v6 car in storage that I haven't driven in 8 years.

Such a range of different projects awesome video unbelievable workmanship

Ned, Sal, absolutely top job getting the shops "dirty hands" talking about their parts of the projects. The amount of skill and dedication it takes to work at your level is very impressive- and it takes a team to pull it off. Kudos for letting the boys talk! A couple were a bit gob smacked- I hope they will get over it and continue to amaze us all!

It's nice to hear from the guys doing the work!

Question: Is your videographer a full time employee? The amount of build detail captured is immense! And I guess the editing is extensive. Keep up the amazing work everyone.

Inspirational content. Cheers from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦

Hi guys - great content once again. Are you aware that Milwaukee make a much, much smaller (and very effective) cut-off tool ‘M12 FCOT-0’ which enable more finesse cutting metal in tricky situations. Have used mine heaps..!

Fantastic sound from the Busso V6 in the Stratos. It's almost a pity that a few cars are ready to go to clients, I'm attached to seeing them in the workshop.

Footage is getting better every week. Nice one guys

I love the Stratos , always have , great build guys👍

Love the Land Cruiser

I'm surprised you're keeping the Lucas, Prince of Darkness wiper system - Your friends at Bad Obsession Motorsport made a very good case why Binky wouldn't be keeping it on the front screen.

Cal teasing us with glimpses of his E30 Touring - still waiting for that update though!?! 😉

God.. imagine getting the Allegro / Intregra mash up the wrong way round!

Question, if you will have problems making up the frames for the windows etc because of the brass being brittle, can you get them machined in copper, theyre not really structural and copper can be anealed and should be much the same as brass to get chrome plated.

Seeing the Honda/allegro build it makes me wonder what other cars could be morphed into one, the mind boggles, one thing I would like to say you are in a different league when it comes to car builds 👴🏻👍

Cal, I had a irritating squeak on a 4age that I had modified the inlet manifold and cam covers. It too sound like it was coming from the cam belt area.The issue turned out to be inadequate crankcase ventilation and the squeak was air sucking past the cam seals. I added a catch can and no more noise.

Amazing, can see more out the back window than the front of the stratos, definitely breaking new ground there 👌🏻

There is some merch for you, tick or cross above the best stance. I thank you.. I'll take 5% I'm not greedy :D Cheers and do like the new set up talking to people in the shop while they do things, even though the audio isn't ideal.

The blower sounds on the Stratos sound sweet.

Another great video

Well done Tom, those arches looked like a slog. One of those never again jobs.

On the mk2 Jag is it not possible to get two sets per side of the upper door trims and weld or braze them to the new length required ? or is the top of the door a totally different shape than original?

Here's something I came across years ago that might help a little with the clutch/throttle timing when shifting: when you find yourself naturally getting a bit of a rev accidentally because you're not getting off the throttle fast enough, try moving the clutch contact point a little lower in the pedal travel. That'll give your right foot a tenth or so more time to get fully off the throttle before the clutch actually releases.

I have not heard the squeak in the toyota but i had an annoying click almost squeak from a 4sfe years ago. Turned out to be the scissor gear on the cam not set up right.

The owner of that Camaro is a lucky man. It's going to be stunning.

Great to hear from the guys but they need their own microphones...

I understand now why you don't video much of the road testing. Having to keep that Stratos under 60 mph must make the exercise almost useless 😄😄

Ever time I hear "Project Lucky Strike" I m like noooooo... Allegro... Integra... Allegra! It was right there, mate! 🤣

Just got in ☕️Sunday complete 👍🏻😉 I do hope the Owner leaves the wheels ( mirror polished) that are on it now imo really suit it looks awesome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🏻👏👏 just seen the rendering with spiked alloys on it 😔

I had a Triumph 420i estate for a while until something flipped on a motorway and took out the sun roof, irreplaceable.. You know its an Accord, I knew it was an Accord. I was something I'd love to own again.

Another great video! Personally, I'd leave the chrome trim off the mk2 Jag & graft in some Fiat Barchetta door handles 👍 Also, I've said it before & I'll say it again, those wheels really look awesome 😎 👍

Assembly starts at 25:56 😄

Cal, are you aware that a number of Aussie performance tuners are now using a drive by wire throttle bodies instead of a blow off valve to better control boost levels?

0:59 Nice to meet you Scott. I hope you're excited. Better mic though please

Stratos looks and sounds great but dear me, that dashboard ?

Who makes the wheels on the Stratos?

Alfasud with a Subaru STi swap would be the natural nemesis for this.

Awesome work as usual, does the Toyota have a pcv valve ? When they fail the squeak and squeal like crazy

It has to be Autumn Snotburst for the Aggro!

hello great work.are you doing the interior of the stratos?the current dash and wheel are shite

Ah Sunday 😊

Q. why don't you do the videoing at lunchtime to avoid the back ground noise. FJ40 noise? is the crankcase vented sufficiently? Had a guy come to me years back had put a 2.9 V6 in a transit and it had a squeal from the bellhousing. I pulled the breather cap off the rocker instantly quiet, he had put the breather pipe on the manifold instead of the air box hence pressurising the rear crank seal making it squeal. A quick test would be a pressure gauge on the dipstick tube.

On safety critical welds do you bomb them? That's x-ray them and inspect?

What brand are the spotlights on the Landcruiser?

Hey guys, wondering where the 309gti is in the que? After what tolemans done to its big but smaller brother I'm super excited to see what u guys can do.

The wheel arches to wheel fitment on Stu's Jag looks totally off and generally the wheels look oversized for those arches. Are these the final wheels?

Quick question for Cal regarding the Lancia, how is it registered as a 72 plate and not a Q plate or older reg? Many thanks, loving your work.

Not sure if it was just the lighting - but is the Stratos's dashboard finished? It looks terrible...

How do you pinch in a carbon door skin? Can you move the Stratos speed numbers under the tacho needle

Are MkX Jag door tops similar profile and longer?

How do you come up with the names for the projects?

No point making it hard he says . Standing next to an Integra floor pan that has an Alegro body being grafted onto it 😂

The quality of the work and no expense spared on materials components or sub contracting is all to top standards. I have difficulty understanding customers choice of car / changes vs the obvious enormous cost involve in competed projects in terms of by definition what they are going to end up with and what it will finally cost . Clearly no accounting for taste.

How sporty does the MKll Jag look now it’s on the deck.

Lucky strike will look like a fat Renault 5 group b car

Question - you must get through a lot of battery powered hand tools. Drills, grinders, that kind of thing. Mine need a refresh… recommendation?

Lancia is well, beastly. Why I thought it would be a smooth ride, I've no idea - but it looks a bit rough on the ride. Is that an accurate assessment of it's ride quality?

not in any way suggesting your work is of a poor standard but what differentiates the Allegro/Integra from a dodgy cut and shut in they eyes of the law? What tests, if any does it have to pass to be allowed on the road when finished?

The owner should call it an Allegra or Integro 😊

The Sratos is looking and sounding most excellent - had the owner considered having the wheels finished in a "magnesium" colour, or perhaps copper to compliment that great body paint? I'd rather suggest you DON'T put the Morrie's slipping clutch down to a slightly too thin friction plate, but also confirm the correct set-up height for the pressure plate, and it's spring. I say that because such a small difference is not only within the expected wear range, which will mean slippage when the plate is otherwise still perfectly serviceable, but because the same cover may be used with different springs and pressure rings for different applications - possible even a flywheel with a slightly raised friction area.

May I ask how tall the Stratos driver is? (I'm just over 6'2", 1.89m.) Handsome vehicle. Didn't look to be as accommodating as the average Porsche, for example.

Think you need to tweak the audio for your new format...and at 21:52.

27:27 not to anger you guys but couldn’t the tach display do with a bit of shade in sunny situations like this ?

(It’s weird watching the other lads explain what they’re doing without holding a cup of coffee…)

No sign of the Jensen CV-8 Replica? Can't really call it a Jensen anymore, since most of the original car has been deleted - hope someone has all the parts in proper storage, so it can be re-assembled as a Jensen in the future, or at least made available to owners that need spares for actual Jensens. Oh, there it is in the background of the Morris footage. Any word on how much value has been wiped off it by the use of the wrong motor and all that carbon?

Chaps - might be a good idea to hide the speedo in your video's - don't want to annoy plod now.

I like hearing from the people doing the work. But at the same time, I acknowledge that they are mechanics and fabricators etc. With that in mind, I wouldn't make them explain their work if they weren't comfortable. Is the Alegro front end a lot longer now? I thought I saw the front side panels fitted, bit, like 10cm(?) forward with a gap at the moment?

Impossible to hear Scott so a lovely idea but missed out on what was probably a very informative part.

OK I know you guys do high quality work and 'maybe' it was the camera but the Stratos dash looked like shit ???

Bobby will get more accustomed to the camera as time goes on…

You need a much better camera position for the driving videos It needs to be much lower down so we can see the road. The back of someone's head and a speedo isn't exactly 'immersive'.

It's an Integro.

With all that carbon fibre, there's not going to be a lot of the original Allegro left in that hybrid.

Get your welding tackle out.

Invest in additional microphones for the lads

🚗👈🏼 carbon fibah

FF to 13:04 to avoid the Allegro thing... 😄

Great to hear the "voice behind the hammer" - proves your are employing humans not androids.....

like 24

Love your videos but not the new rock music. Cals(?) gentle compositions were an ace accompaniment to the work going on. Also Nat is becoming a great presenter so not sure about handing some of that work to the (immensely talented) artisan working on the cars.
