Good job! Love the space around the engine.

Hi Andrew, very informative. Can you advise where you got the Traffolyte panel made. Also where did you get the rear view mirror from, can you post a link please.

A hot rodded Aston Martin? Whoa. Impressive. I built a TR-4 with a Chrysler engine, transmission and rear diff. Four wheel disc, all braided lines, Konis and Brembo.

Illuminating and witty commentary

I had to mention it as it looked rather odd.

Didn't mention the steering wheel and the silly red stripe. Surely on tarmac there's no problem finding where the wheels should be pointing? An irritating Mercedes affectation nicked from the US. Lovely colour and boot spoiler. One hell of a restomod. Well done.

Love it

For what it's worth, the DB7 engine was a development of a TWR development of the AJ16.

Love the colour! Personally I wouldn't go for leather on the dashtop as it will be vulnerable to the effects of heat and sunlight through the front screen, which is of course the same reason manufacturers shied away and used vinyl. As far as the lower panels are concerned, matching the seats is the best approach to do but you might want to think about the areas where they are most vulnerable to shoe marks and scrapes and use black vinyl or carpet instead.

Great Job , what Engine and Gearbox have you got in the DBS?

Attention according to Schlaboubve laws in EU soon All Gas cars will illegal soon

Your car, build it your way. I like it too.

Beautiful work, the installation is fantastic

love victor ...

love the fliptail

yo didnt consider the fold out radio screen for the sat nav ?

that dark would already looks good

lovely car

Excellent work

Looks tasty. Seems a waste to drain the mushroom juice into the sink. I would save that to use in my cooking.

"Even if you have an expensive paint job...Tom...."😂😂😂😂

You can buy these from Mercedes, same mirror as w115 uses. Fitted to mine 20 odd years ago.

Note* After you put tape around the threads of the mounting bolts (3:20), just check that the bolts still pass through the holes in the door. If you put too much tape on you will have a sticky problem when it comes to presenting the mirror and the bolts won't go into the door!

Hahaha and i thought you will do videon how to repair the bage???? Once i foot the dosh for a new bage it will last 20 years anyway.

Beautiful car

Those original A-M mirrors are actually (shock horror!) Mercedes items (much cheaper from M-B than AM) so maybe they can be excused from fitting zer Englisch Auto? ;-) The filler thing is a great tip! Thanks.

"Promosm" 😝

Great idea with applications to many other classic cars. Thank you!

Cunningly clever

I would have used a flexible epoxy that would be 0.2mm slightly proud being the way it slightly expands in the middle. This would provide strength around the posts and make is very slightly proud and hence will also protect the paint. I do really like your video and method. These ideas I can used on my Jensen Interceptor. Best of all I Iove your Aston. Your idea for the mirror is very clever and I will def do this, as these mirrors never really fit. Please what make and model of mirror are you using. Cheers 🙂

Go steady, car body filler is porous so may cause problems down the line if it were to hold water

Another great video, thanks Andrew! Your findings can be applied to any DB era Aston, as the DB4 body badges also suffer from the poor fitment. Perhaps post on the AMOC Forum? Any video with old Basil Fawlty in it has my gratitude. So sorry about him, he's from Barcelona...

In the midst of purchasing a DBS without an engine- looking to transplant a Barra engine into this car. The Barra engine is an Australian built Ford engine from 2002- 4L 6 cylinder engine.

Shame about the V8, it is part of the magic of these cars, very nice looking car though.

Which transmission are you going to use, manual or auto, as the original Jaguar unit if auto will be electronic control?

Hi Andrew, currently restoring 1971 Dbs, came across this and would like to exchange info with other restorers, dropped an email but may go into spam, budgetpallet..thanks, Stuart.

Great start. I have a 1973 V8 so its great to see more detail on these cars. Out of interest which security system did you use? Thanks

A stupefying and incredible amount of work. You would have to be the most dedicated DBS owner in the world. Seems like a sensible engine swap, and the rest of the modifications subjective. One question though, if you will not have a spare, why do you need an electric jack? ;) Terrific job. I am all for the pursuit of the kind of quality that you are aiming for. Fishoilene in the boxed sections of the bodywork. Best of luck for this monumental project that obviously and admirably does not have venality as its raison d'etre. Thanks for the video.

Looks comprehensive. Good mods as the car was, as you noted, quite changed from original factory spec anyway.

Interesting. My first time at this channel but as an Aston Martin DBS fan I had to click the link that popped up on my YT feed. Andrew, I feel your pain. I'm in the last 3 weeks or so of a full mechanical restoration of my modern classic and have just been through all the ups and downs, highs and lows that it involves. Best of luck with your build. Thanks for posting! Subscribed to see how it turns out.

Amazing!! Merry Christmas Andrew and fellow chums!

change the pulley size on the supercharger

do any of the modern aston engines fit >

i would still prefer a v8

roll the wheel arches

great job, well done
