Building an original Austin 7
A short film for any engineering and motoring enthusiast, in which Ian Cowan details his project, building an Austin 7 (the Austin Speedy Special). He didn't film as much for this build (compared to his GT40 and XKSS builds), so sorry for the background noises and poor audio quality as he narrates his progress. The devil is in the detail, and there is plenty of that here... and I (his son) marvel at what he achieves - it's totally beyond me... but I can't argue with the results. Hope you enjoy... please like, leave comments etc and I'll do my best to get any response from my dad (I'm not the engineer - he is!!)
Filmed , edited, and narrated by engineer Ian Cowan.. all as he was heading into his 80s!
Enjoy :-)

Creating stems for library / production music in Logic Pro
Переглядів 64Рік тому
This show I create stems and cut downs for library music - using Logic Pro. If people are interested, i can go into details the setting up of the project, but for now this may prove useful for someone out there... plus it will be a reminder for me, when I forget the correct method!

New coffee machine, so we're teaching the eldest son to make us coffee... this will eventually lead to breakfast in bed for the parents, whilst the kids run the house ;-) #sagenespresso #sagecoffee #nespresso

Testing out a friends Cube Stereo Carbon Race, 27.5, 2016, full suss at Swinley. Footage not as clear due to a smudge on the lens! GoPro Hero 5. You can see my friends footage, following me in the Labyrinth at ua-cam.com/video/m16gOX83lMI/v-deo.html
Swinley MTB - 27th April 2017 - highlights
Переглядів 567 років тому
On a jaunt to Swinley forest with a mate who was testing out the two sizes of the Whyte MTB... and these were the highlights of the trails we encountered (we didn't do them all, but the ones we did, we did twice). It's a 'highlights' edit... and I didn't put any music on, as I reckon the wind noise is better than some annoying sound track!

GoPro Hero 5 - helmet mounted - shots taken at Swinley Forest MTB trails. I was on a 2016 Specialised Camber Comp 29er I have footage of this taken previously, but with a hero 4, and a chest mount. Have to say, this is much more immersive, and the stabilisation on the GoPro Hero 5 is pretty amazing. The fact it's on the hemet makes it slightly more unnerving, as you are viewing it from high up ...

Mothers Day Sunday Roast - time lapse

Another time lapse - this time as I prepare the Sunday lunch for Mothers Day!!! Next time, maybe take some close ups of boiling liquids, carving chicken etc... for now, it's 'Ken Burns' slow zooms... which all that can be done with a single camera. Checkout ua-cam.com/video/WIlmIjMCGs4/v-deo.html for an example of a single camera band shoot!

Well done sir, wish I had your skills.
You are brilliant, oh so well done. I hope you have great pleasure in owning and driving for the longest time. With admiration.... Rob
Excellent, what a way to have fun
unusual to see one with a roll bar fitted, seems like a good idea though. Lovely looking car. Well done.
Hi how did you get it registered? You seemed to start with a pile of parts? Was there a V5? Lovely car.
Yes, there was a V5
Wow I will be back in the uk soon and a hope to get back into having fun with an Austin 😊thanks for sharing your journey she looks amazing
Lovely video, nice work. Thank you.
A really beautiful A7 replica and I’m sure much better than the rare originals. Excellent workmanship, well done I’m sure you’ll have lots of fun with it
Note: Austin 7s are not cars, they are fruit crates with bicycles parts bolted on!
WOW Your work was better than top Austin factory quality that's one Beautiful car your attention to every small detail is excellent thank you for this video i loved the journey Ian happy new year Sir.
'Promo SM' 😱
Lovely job must be great fun
Its great that you still have the energy.
Fantastic video and production, and a great job. So we use the Granada engine, because it’s compliant for an IVA?
I'll check, but pretty sure it was to get it licensed, and after that it was replaced... with the V8, shipped from the US.
That is beautiful, I envy you.
I have to have one of these... I'm obsessed with them, I just have to have one. I'm planning to order a CAV GT+, having most of it assembled at the factory and then finished at Renner Auto in Melbourne Australia. I've got some skills, but not on this guy's level. I also really want something very much on the restomod side of things, with all up to date running gear/suspension/brakes, a well insulated and trimmed cabin and (crucially) the doors need to open vertically; because I plan to use it all the time. Plus, those guys are just so good at it now, it's worth the expense for the quality and ease of registration. Fingers crossed I'll be looking at mine within the next 18 months or so. There's a GT40 shaped hole in my life that need to be filled.

Excellent job, Ian. I hope you enjoy the results of your work. 👍👏👏😊
You’re bloody nimble on the tin shears & forming that rad bracket! What happened re track rod end & steering arm? How did you resolve that?
The Ford GT is the most badass car ever created! We are working on and will get 350 MPH!
Out standing build, greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
Steve McQueen reborn….👍👍👍 The most legendary car ever made. Stunning machine….👍👍👍 Consider me subscribed.
great build. thank you for putting this up.
I really enjoyed watching this vid and all 3 parts from start to finish. Incredible to see all the hard work that went into this and such a real beauty in blue! I hope it gave many hours of pleasure driving something that you know inside out. 👍
All I can say is "Awesome!". I am building a space-frame GT40 (year 1 of a 3~5 year project). Using this masterpiece for reference. Thank you!
Bonjour Mister Cowan 😁
Yes very fascinating , wish I could have done it if parts were still available. Thanks for the video
I don't know if you still see these comments but I've just watched this and WOW you're dad is an incredibly talented man! Thanks for sharing, I hope he's still enjoyed the beauty!
Thankyou - yes he still enjoys the car. I’ll pass on your comments :-)
Why on earth would you put a boat anchor in a GT40?
Congratulations from Mexico, beauty project!
An e type jag in the background. That will do me.
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime :_(

BULLSHIT, sorry buddy. THIS IS BULLSHIT !!! (Greetings from Germany)
Wow! From Orlando,fl. Just Beautiful!!
Dude is a master builder, wish I could learn from him
Behind an rs200 at the end
He's good with the 👐
Awesomeness
Doin it all old school. Well done.
A V6?
Is it a company kit
where did you get your kit from?
Yeah .. that's a bad kit
@@maicolx7776 the chassis were wonky maybe but he made it happen.
Felicidades esta hermoso
Sorry mate, you lost me at V6
your loss russ..v6 was only temporary to establish vehicle identity..nice 5.0 goes in.
Also love the use of old school common hand tools and power drills to accomplish the job! Absolutely brilliant and well job done sir!
Loved seeing his wife help with the windscreen! Having a supportive spouse helps with a project like this!
i know its just a kit but this is automotive history. awesome stuff.
Beautiful car. I’m going to look to see if you have any more videos of it racing.
