  • One of the coolest pop-up headlights in automotive history did not come without any downsides. Key words are rust / prone. Some improvements could and should be done, but still this complex structure with rubber sealed panels are (and will be in the future) places to go through thoroughly during spring and autumn maintenance.

    Another fantastic episode, thanks for sharing with us. It is so inspiring to watch your episodes, especially that it is possible to make parts yourself with simple tools and a good imagination.

      Thanks. Other option would have been spending 600€ + shipping for a repro panels used in this episode. So that is 600+ reasons to be innovative...

    Greeting form Oz. I always look forward for to the next upload. You never cease to amaze me. Your ability to think outside the square and thought process to develop methods to work metal without dies and forms is outstanding. Nearly 900 hours to build the buckets and supporting panels for the headlights, simply a masterclass for you tubers
    Keep well mate.

    I admire your ability to visualise in three dimensions in order to do the stretching and shrinking and make such superb replacement panels. Of all the tasks in restoration, I think that paint stripping is the one I dislike most, whether using wire wheels and sanders or, especially, when using chemical stripper. Thank you once more and best wishes.

    • @GT1900garage
      @GT1900garage  8 годин тому

      Thanks George. I think the most annoying part is sanding, filling, resanding, refilling before paint..Therefore that is most likely the part of this project that I will pay someone else to do it...
      Have a nice weekend.

    Another interesting episode. The machine to produce the grooves is interesting. I will try to build one es well! By the way, yesterday I have taken out the engine/gearbox of my MG TF to start the bodywork. There will be quite some work. However, to date I have not found a corner that looks like your car - yet. Maybe the day will come! All the best for your future work!
