Good work. Especially the prep work in repairing the flange. I remember the first time I replaced a windscreen when I was a teenager, probably in 1970. I had no idea how to do it. I didn't know a grommet held the windshield in place. My dad suggested I sit in the front seat and push the windscreen out using my feet. It worked perfectly. I got a replacement in a junk yard, again removing it from the donor car with my feet. The next day I asked my dad how to put it back in. He was getting in his car to go to work but mumbled something about putting a string around the grommet and using it to pull windscreen and grommet onto the flange. I had never seen it done and spent the whole day figuring it out by trial and error but finally got it. I was using sisal string as that is all we had and ruined the grommet so had to get another one. That paracord you used worked very well.

Vive l'hirondelle ❤❤

How did this have an MOT when you bought it?

It's a big job, but you are getting there! Do you have your next project lined up?

Decking is ideal for structural members imo. 😅

Can't believe the cross member was part made of decking board😮

how you connect fuel sensor to gouge ? ohm resistance adjustable ?

Peut - on arriver avec une Dodge Omni GLH?

🎉😅muero de risa, tenia casi un año visitando lugares y nadie lo habia podido reparar deje de ver el video hice lo mismo y funcionó, muchas gracias y larga vida

Holly shit worked awesome

Very intreasted how you removed the Window as cant get mine out thank you

Hahahahaha hell yes!!!! This video is not only funny, but helped me fix this mini I got for free 🤣. Thanks guys!!!

Its nice to see your van coming along. My big motorhome has been two months from being done for the past two years, but I am hoping to have it done in two months!

What happens if that pump is wired in reverse when someone does a negative ground conversion? Thank you in advance for your answer.

That's a scary moment after spending thousands of hours to restore the car and then waiting for the MOT guy to drive it into the pit. Britain is a strange place- to drive your car you need to go through a detailed and thorough inspection, but to live in Britain you just wade ashore and they give you money and a place to live.

Gays it works 😅 you helped me! They asked me 75€ to fix it and I tried it! Many thanks from Hellas 🇬🇷

My uncle mykes vehicle or used to be. Sadly no longer with us but this is a project he wanted to do but was unable to do. Great to see you've restored it 👍

Didn't work for me....but I'm saying....anyone that designs a GD seat that you need to reset needs to have his head examined....retarded engineering!!!

I noticed on your last video you were using a heat gun to remove some rubber seals. I've been struggling to replace some of the rubber seals around my RV windows. The new sealing strips I got have been too stiff to put them in the groove. I bet if I heat them up a bit first they will fit right in. Thanks for the tip!

That's a good day's work.

Big help, m8! 😊

Legends, got a pair of full leather to replace my half leathers. Put the new ones in and the passenger seat wouldn’t recline. This fixed it, shame I didn’t see it before I fucked about for 2 hours haha. Thanks again!

Washing up liquid is the only stuff that works ftom my limited experience. Tried other lubricants, not a chance.

Thank you … it worked perfectly

Nice one Jim - I didn’t think it would go on. I’m sure Durex will be in contact soon for you to spearhead their next advertising campaign!!

I am amazed the smallest end went over that cone

Increíble ! me funciono !👍🙏🙏👍💪💪

well done i always take 4 bolts,out of hub as bottom joint is tricky to seperate without damage

Effing bloody brilliant. Whoever discovered this hack deserves free servicing for life.

I broke my first screen this week on an Alfa 33 went in fine then I tapped the rubber down with my rubber hammer and "crack" right down the middle.. bugger

Coming together quite quickly Jim

😂 try à thermal sensor inside that, and Light turns on when it is cooked ! ... maybe.... or not ..bizarre...

Hi is this for sale by any chance please? 😊

Really good work, I love neat electrics!

That is great! I'm looking at an '06 MCS with the exact same problem. I'll give your fix a try. Thanks!

Yes I would put a longer one in line. The pipe will sag a little though after so you might need an additional support.

Thanks for the tip fixed mine 👍🏻

Congratulations!

Jim, this is Neil who you bought the car off 2 years ago, you have done an amazing job!! I just knew you were the right man to revive this ultra rare ( one other in UK I believe) special little car. I have really enjoyed watching your postings . Thank you. BTW, the XK140 has now been traded for a 57 Ford Thunderbird but I had 2 years trouble free and enjoyable driving in it, just time for a change! Best wishes, Neil

very nice!

Great idea 4,000,000 watt lightbulb just went off in my brain. Lift arc is ok for start but not for ending arc. I always get pinholes

hello jim jolie aronde a+ tof (rassemblement centre France 2013) 😉

Beautiful car. Nicely restored. Would love to see a more detailed video tour of the car once you finish tuning it. Thank you.

Great to see it on the road - well done Jim

Looks interesting. At least we can have a brew when we go to car shows now!

Yes, I've seen your xk140 videos. That was how I found your channel! They will be a great resource when I get started. The motorhome project was a big one. They are built on a truck chassis but there is very little framework for the walls and roof which are 2 inch thick Styrofoam laminated between two 1/8 inch plywood with a thin coat of filon on the exterior walls and rubber membrane on the roof. There is just not much support other than a few 1 inch square aluminum tubing that support the roof in a few places. I had no idea! Yours looks a bit more conventional van structure. It will be fun to watch your progress.

I've been redoing a 1999 Georgie Boy RV for the last year or two. Its a 27 foot class A Motorhome with about 18,000 miles on it with a large Workhorse (GM) V8 engine that runs well. It had a leaky rubber roof so I had to replace the entire roof structure. The water leaking from the roof rotted many of the cabinets so I remodeled the entire interior, building a bunch of new cabinets and replacing all the appliances. Its been quite an undertaking. I'm near the end, updating the 12v and AC electrical systems and adding solar panels. I have to finish it before I can start on my XK 140. It looks like your camper van has a metal roof so it should be good. My main advice is to ensure the roof is intact before you do anything else! I enjoyed the Simca series! Jim in Florida

That's a good buy and project

Reminded me of my apprentice days seeing that milling machine
