I watch your videos the same way each time: You reveal the rusted horror beneath the panels, I think that it’s too far gone and feel bad that you’ve put so much effort into an unsalvageable car, then you astonish me by repairing the unrepairable. It will be better than brand new. Your videography skills are first rate, too.

Agreed, Alastair, phenomenally good production values and I think the car will be even better given the meticulous care and craftsmanship. A joy to watch.

@@GT1900garage You did a great job with this start using the time-lapse method :) It was worth removing the entire rear side, because only then you can see how much rust there was. If possible, sandblast at least the wheel arch itself before installing the side panel.
@GT1900garage3 ай бұрын
Yes, since most of the panel seams were already out, it was far easier to remove the whole panel...

Wow, that first minutes of wonderful stop-motion animations really blew me away ! Thank you for entertaining us with all these efforts. Must be very time consuming. But it´s worth it. I guess your audience very much appreciates these animations. They create a certain mood, i don´t know how to describe it. For sure it´s pure art when the tools start to move their own way. I love it. Oh, and for all the metal sheet work, you just again found the perfect score to create some emotions. As always, i must admit. Your taste of music really matches with mine. Whether it´s Jazz or Shred Metal. Had to say this. Finally if i had to name anything in this episode, that leaves a little question mark to me, then it´s this: i feel there is kind of a hard break between the first minutes of animations and the second part. Somehow i miss the bridge between those parts in terms of story telling. But never mind, just sharing my feelings when i watched this episode. Unbelievable how many hours of hard work already spent for this old GT. For sure it´s gonna be among the best of all still existing ones. Do you know any totally rust free GT ? Is there a brand new one in the Opel Museum ? This report from Auto, Motor und Sport seems to show some excellent cars from the factory museum, at least the number plate gives a hint. GG stands for Gross Gerau, the region which Rüsselsheim, the home of Opel belongs. www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/oldtimer/opel-gt-opel-commodore-gs-e-und-opel-manta-gsi-der-opel-sport-bund-der-70er/

Thanks Oliver for the comment. I agree with you... there should have a kind of bridge between intro and verse. But on the other hand, the mood change from "automatic" to "manual" was done by drastic change of music... I think there are some completely rust free GTs but they have no road time what so ever...I think even bringing GT outside, will start the oxidizing process....

@@GT1900garage Thank you so much for your reply. To be honest i was really afraid of having offended you with my comment. And of course, the change of the music indicates quite clearly there is a new chapter starting. Just wanted to raise a little constructive debate with all due respect.
