    Dom. Been watching your channel for the last few months after having discovered your you tube channel from watching the repair shop here in the US.
    You have a tremendous gift my friend, not only of the skills to do your incredible work but a gift of joy and connection with people that is infectious.
    I look forward to seeing you pop up on my subscription feed every week.
    Keep on my friend and Godspeed!

    This brings so many memories back for me , we were not a rich family but my dad used to go to auctions of big country houses inear our area and he picked up a pedal car for me , this would have been in about 1958 when i was 5 . I will not stick in and say it was an austin but it looked exactly the same with the pump up wheels bench seat working lights /horn and opening boot and bonnet just the same . the only difference i think was that mine was a 2 seater that two people could pedal . what fun it was .

    Ahhh... Wendy's back on supervising duties again! You know it's going to be a good episode when that happens. 😆 I am joking - every episode is 😘👌. Side note: You don't get paid enough biscuits to look after your boys, Wendy. Just sayin'... 🤪 x
    This week's episode was a great 'un Dom. Jon's ingenuity with the bend worked a dream. I know you don't have it all sorted but what you do have right now is really starting to come together! Just think, if it looks this good now imagine how it'll look when it's finished. What a triumph (zero transport-related pun intended) that'll be! Austin Power Cars Team ARE a beaut for lending you that chassis for all those measurements.
    It is sad about your BSA but you do have dreams Dom and life's too short not to see them come to fruition. We're just glad we're here to see it!
    Can't wait to see next week's episode with the boot panel. You lads'll smash it!
    By the way (& forgive me if this question has already been raised and answered), who will race your pedal car when it's finished?

    Another great video Dom. As regards "Trigger's broom" check the history of Bentley "Old Number One". Despite significant reconstruction after crashes, in 1990 in court it was decided it was a continuing entity from when it was first built. The same would doubtless apply to your J40.

    Great work. What will you do with it when it's back in pristine condition? Surely not hang it back on the wall.

I realise brother Dan often shoots your videos, but when you do, I’ve found a handheld gimbal might be of benefit to reducing shakiness (unless you use software to do so. For what it’s worth…

    Hi Dom, Great project and it’s fun! I’d ignore the triggers broom comments. At then end of the day, if it went back to Austin for a repair, and they replaced it with a panel, would it no longer be an Austin pedal car….NO, of course not. It remains true to its origin. So what’s the chuffing difference if you make a panel to the Austin spec and replace it? None, AND, you’ve saved the car! Win win as far as ny restoration goes. Save the bits you can and re-lace anything that would endanger the future user. Best of luck mate, Wayne

    Hi Dom. Great videos and projects as always. The Tiger doesn't seem too happy and always seems to be running rich. I can't remember if your Amal carb uses a choke cable, but if it does, are you aware that the "choke" is only off when the cable is tight, i.e. lever open? If left closed, it will likely run rough as hell. Amal carb choke sliders are slightly counter-intuitive!
