Episode 69 "already"! This is not a rushed build and that is what I love about it! Looking far into the future, it will be fascinating to hear what you would do differently for Mosquito 2!

Love that brass hammer

Was thinking the same 🎉

I never get notifications, I always have to look you up. I stay caught up though. Nice job guys 🙏

I hope and pray that you Oliver and your dad Andrew are both well. Having said that, im so keen to see the next episode as this to me is the most epic mini based build ive ever seen........

This is so good i have sent it to my son thanks guys again

When butt welding thin sheet steel if you use a piece of copper behind it, it reduces burn through and also a flater weld. Keep the great content coming 👍

Another mosquito vid!!!! Yay

On a roll boys

hungry for more videos. hope the build is progressing on well. cheers👍

Cant wait for the next episode

Having a conversation with friends about how none of us really watch the marvel stuff anymore, but the new Loki is out and as soon as all of the series comes out we might watch it... So one of my friends is a bit defensive about marvel, isn't burnt out on it and wanted to know what I was watching that's better than just watching Loki right now. I told him I'm watching some English guys living in France, building a tiny sports car by hand in a brick shed. So now he still doesn't get why I would rather watch this, and two of my other friends in the chat are now watching your older videos right now. Lol

Love the series. Hope the new year finds you both (and all your loved ones) in outstanding health and good spirits. Looking forward to Episode 70!

Every time I see you climbing into this tiny car I cannot help but think of Jeremy Clarkson in the tiny blue and white car thing in Top Gear 😅

Great watching the two of you working together. Have every expectation the Mosquito will be extraordinary.

Love seeing you hitting things with hammers!

Things somehow or another seem to have a spirit , and we other like hate or love them. The relationship of you , your dad and this car will be forever the spirit of this car . Nice 👍❤️🇦🇺

Can we expect a Christmas Eve upload? 'Twould be a lovely little treat.

My daddy was a TIG welder And he loved to save some money He made everything himself Then he tacked it on the chassis 😁👍

The car is looking great, once it’s finished, you definitely need to bring it to one of the Blyton Park track days over here in the UK.

Hey Oliver, its been a long time without new videos, i hope everything is ok with you and your dad. In case your motivation for posting is down or something, i just wannna say , you've inspired me a lot and pushed me to create a lot of projects of my own. I love this channel and i believe i am not the only one. Keep the good work and be safe. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers

Super la vidéo...j'adore l'imitation du frottement du siège sur la barre de l'arceau 😂 bravo à tous les deux 😊

Hope everything is ok👍

would love to see an updated barn tour!

Aren't dad's wonderful 😀

Another great way of finishing a weekend!

That must be a really uncomfortable driving position with the seat at such a angle

It's all coming together well. Looking good. Thanks

It's like breaking bad, can't wait for the end product, but then it's all over

Where's you at! It's been 3 months. If you are working on the house that is a very acceptable excuse. Mind you, videos on that would be welcome. A little late but Bonne Année!

I have finished my binge watch of this series, & now eagerly await the coming episodes. Mosquito is coming along very nicely lads! Thank you both for all of your very hard work, & your excellent craftsmanship! Looking forward to the day you finally get to test drive Mosquito for the first time!

Well done again guys love the video I cannot wait for the next x

Always Quality and Attention to detail 👌👌

Love the progress....mad respect gentlemen!!!

Did you double-check how the body will fit around the seat so you aren't uncomfortable touching it or running into it while steering? Slightly angled seat can alleviate that sometimes

Enjoyed the old school craftmanship, hitting bits with hammers. At the end of the video when Oliver was setting in the seat, I have to wonder if your elbow is going to clear the center console? And are your legs going to interfere with the steering wheel? This past weekend I had a tall student in a stock Mazda MX-5 (stock seat and steering wheel), he had to move his legs out of the why to turn! Easy fix for him by installing a lower seat and smaller steering wheel but you're working in a significantly tighter space.

Top notch work guys👌🏾. I always find myself looking forward to the videos.

brilliant thanks lads

Good to see it coming along Oliver. You might have been asked before but with all the bending, did you consider buying a second hand bender? I'm sure it would have saved a few shaved knuckles?

Jolly good show chaps

Thanks for the videos. You've got a great attitude and it comes through to the viewer.

Car is progressing beautifully. So small; and quite powerful. I'll do some thinking on that downforce vs weight business. Had never considered it that way.

Will you need a removable steering wheel to origami yourself into the drivers seat?

i have to be honest but i dont understand why the seat has to be so close to the center channel when theres all that space the other side of it. surley getting in and out would be easier if it wasnt so close. is it foot alignment/ steering or something else? and i would consider highering the roof by 2 inches at least. when your dad got in he was higher than the roof postion and hes shorter than you. im not trying to hinder but help and maybe prevent any unseen disasters later on in the build

How will you go into and out, when the steering wheel is in place?😂

Hello Folks, when can we expect an update? Merry Christmas.

Super content as usual. There still doesn't seem to be a lot of room in the tunnel for the coolant and heater tubes, especially when they are insulated, and it will make it even more difficult to get access to the seat bracket bolts. What thickness will the insulation be ? All the gubbins like gear change cables, fuel and brake lines and wiring also have to be accommodated, but I'm sure that you have done all the measurements and calculations. Best wishes.

Bro wtf, my name is Oliver Pickard too, i literally searched myself up and found this. lol

Where you been ? video soon ??

Any updates? Love this project

I'm not sure if it's a concern but watching you talk whilst sitting in the seat it seemed your elbow wanted to take up the space where the passenger's seat would be, it looks as though with your arm above the tunnel (where it would need to be with a passenger and / or a passenger seat) you might not have room to move the shifter easily. Is it worth taking a notch downwards out of the top of the centre tunnel to create room for your elbow? Ergonomics are crucial IMO so it might be worth trying out the range of movement with the other seat in place it you haven't already. Apologies if it's a non issue, but I'd hate to have it be a problem down the road and not have said anything.

Another great video and more good progress. I expect you've already got the answer to this but I found myself wondering how you'll squeeze in a seat belt/harness anchor point for the lap belt?

Where did you go? Hope all is well

I appreciate your effort and passion and I am sure that to you this car is priceless but not to everyone in this world. To be realistic, a car is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Ask yourself how much you would pay for this car if it was built by someone else. There is a lot more to a price tag than just the number of units produced, otherwise every kitcar or buggy would be priceless. And they are not. In the case of Ferrari, it's e.g. the heritage, it's not just what the 250 GTO is, but what Ferrari was before and after this model. In the case of other makes like Koenigsegg and Pagani, it's impressive performance right next to outstanding quality, should I mention engineering. I think you might get a point at this point.

Of course you could just not bother with the body after all and say that the inspiration car was a UVA Fugitive...

That welding job is tough. I don´t like using MIG for panel repairs as the welds are so hard that it prevents for bending the repaired sheet steel afterwards. I would prefer gas welding for this job but it needs skill as you need to panel beat it after all the heat distortion. The tunnel sheet steel is 0,5mm thick as well? IS this why you haven't considered TIG for this? it would blow through? I've tried TIG on 1mm sheet steel and found it difficult to weld without blowing through when I add material with the filler rod. I could do it without filler rod though. I think it is necessary to control the heat with a pedal but haven't tried a machine with pedal. It's too expensive...

The car really is coming along now. I still can't get on with those clogs but thats another convo for another day 😅 keep up the good work boys ❤

I'm just wondering if everything is ok with you... It's been awhile since you last posted

That was very well done, fiddly work! One question. How will you mount the lap belt and shoulder harness? The shoulder harness would normally mount on a bar level or slightly below shoulder height. Will you add another horizontal bar? ...or is this something you planned to answer in a future episode?

I don't know if you've mentioned it but are you going to have a hand brake? or some other parking brake mechanism?

I have to say that I am a little concerned about the amount of metal you have removed from the seat bracket. That is one part of the car where you do not want to compromise its structure. Should the worst happen you don't want the seat to move. Please tell me tht I am worrying unnecessarily.

Curious question, why would you run a heater line from the back to the front? Just tap the Radiator lines at the front?

Watching you getting in the car today has got me wondering what magic you will be enginering into the door hinges to make getting in and out as simple as possible. Im sure they will be somewhere on the level of the gear lever.

Dude where'd you go?

Where’s your late videos ? Everything ok . 🤔🇦🇺

This whole series is awesome. Been watching for the last few months. But man I gotta say, you're making the car barely serviceable in some areas lol. You guys might curse yourselves later whenever you will service it when it's whole.

It's been months. Are you taking a break or just not posting anymore.

It's been a while, I hope everything is okay... 🥺

It's been months since the last update?

Hello, do you still drive the 2cv?

With at solid mounted seat, how is your wife going to drive it? She is 30 cm shorter than you. The only solution i can see is to make a seat insert like they use in endurance racing

Let's make a new shell from carbon fibre 🫢🤔
