    You may want to contact Yorkshire Car Restaurations to do a collab on the 300ZX. They have collaborated with schmee150, Mat Armstrong, Colin Furze and AutoAlex. Chances are they will help you get the 300ZX properly welded up and painted for a "special youtube rate", worst case they charge an honest days work rate and will do a good job regardless.

    Congratulations Carl and family, enjoy the new stress.
    Rick, do the car and get it finished yourself. You won’t make any money but she’s a beautiful car and needs your attention to detail.

    New workshop is coming along nicely! Congrats to Karl & Co! Think the convertible 300ZX’s never had a rear spoiler fitted as standard? So you can get a genuine infill panel for the rear boot lid that contains the third brake light! Looks a lot cleaner imo! 👍

    Saw this 300ZXTT in the background on Chris Slix's Maclaren engine vid. This is one of my all time favourite cars and my dream project car. Looking forward to following this project...

    Keep the 300zx. They're great drivers. Do a mild build and bigger turbos and you'll be surprised at it. Also check out Z1 Motorsports, concept z performance, or specialty Z out here in the USA. They all major in 300zx. And twinz design from Peru. They do really nice spoilers and other aero parts for the Z

    The spoiler has done what it was designed to do.The main contribution that Ford brought to Nissan is RUST.Don't waste your valuable time on it.

    Starlink can have little dropouts for a few seconds fairly regularly, for most things that’s not a problem but, wondering if your programming a car online and it drops out that could be interesting

    Should't of put the new light's up until you knew as to where the ramps are going. As every workshop i've been in make the same mistake. when you put the ramp up it blocks the light as you are mostly working on the sides front and back not the roof.

    Ricky, don't do the 300ZX. I know you could but really, is all the time & cost associated with doing it properly, which is the way you'll want to do it, worth it when you have so much else on?🤔

    Great video until the Nissan appeared. Please do not go down the route of fixing old cars, if I want to see that then there are plenty of other channels to watch. It would have been better to show cars being worked on in your workshop for clients, that's where your companies skill is and is a great advert for potential new clients.
