Only 380 subscribers? That's a crime! Love the Capri S, Clio 16V and 205 GTI in the background.... very nice!
Haha thanks Dan! The channel is growing every day! Plenty more interesting cars to come
Brilliant work, loving the restoration
this is really impressive! I have been following from the first episode
Thankyou. Really appreciate it. I’m going to do it as a 4 part series just as a re-cap so people can see how far it’s come. Cheers for the support means a lot.
Hard working man. I bent my knees. Salut.👍🏻
Thankyou! Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, this is so impressive! 👏
That is a nice job, young man!
Cheers Jerry!
Love the GSP
He’s my best mate!
Great job! Wonderfull car, doing a d1 restorationg myself. Wonderfull dog, is it a vorsteh? Cheers
Thankyou! Really has been a labour of love. Yes he is indeed. A GSP. He’s 6 years old now. Bit more grey around the chops! Cheers for watching
@Automotiveolie wonderfull dogs. Amazingly bright and curious
@@Biffsteki massively intelligent. He can sniff something out from miles away. Very loyal too. Always had labradors and spaniels but the GSP has my heart.
nice work i love it keep it up ive just come across your channel today and subscribed :)
Thankyou! Really appreciate it. Is there anything you’ve seen on the channel which you’d like to see more of?
Why did you use a brush to paint the axle and stuff and then a spray can for the frame? Why not brush on both? What's the name of the stuff that you brushed on? It didn't look like you removed all of the surface rust prior to brushing it on, I guess that's fine? I'd like to clean up the underside of my Rover.
The short answer is because the paint I brushed on is designed for metal requiring no prep, you can even paint it directly onto rust if you want. If I’d had the money and time I’d have taken the body off the chassis, blasted all components etc. the stone chip i sprayed on the chassis and body components is a hard wearing rubberised coating which goes on uniformly with aerosol and wouldn’t look right on the running gear. It wasn’t a 100k restoration more of a build which kept the look as original and useable without breaking the bank.
@@Automotiveolie Very cool. I'm in a similar situation, not dropping 100K on it, but want to find a happy median solution. I'll follow your lead.
Excellent video. How many hours do you think you've spent on it so far?
I’d really hate to think how many. Some weeks I do 5 days a week with 10 hour days! I’ll probably sit down and try to work it out at some point.
Front Bumper ENDS !! are flat plate !!!!!!!!!!!- they should be swaged for that refined look !!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know there was a difference. Thanks for pointing it out. I’m going to leave it as that’s what came off the car and I want to keep it how it was. Cheers
@@Automotiveolie
That Bumper as fitted is a later 80's bumper- would come matt black which would have the Plastic End Caps that extended down the wings hence didnt have the original swaged steel ends to make way for bracketry to attach the Plastic shit caps.
It'll Give the resto away if you dont change it- there are many subtle Cues that make the RR Classic the special vehicle it is !- that is one of them !
Great to see somebody else keeping these Phenomenal vehicles going.
No Compromise !!!!!!!!!!
@@jameslindley924 ah right makes sense. I remember seeing the captive nuts behind it. I’ll probably just keep the bumper until I come across an original one. The rangie is nowhere standard so not a massive issue unless you’re someone who knows them inside out
HI Nice work. I have the exact same car (fiishing the restoration) , colour and interior I will need to photos, from the interior and from the engine bay, can you help on this request
Hello. Happy to help however my engine is not the original v8 and the interior is also from 1980’s so again not correct.
What is the black paint you used for the axles? I'm starting my own restoration!
Hi John. It was just a satin black direct to metal brush paint from Screwfix. I’ll find the make for you.
@@Automotiveolie Thanks!
All the wire wheel rust removal is a pain to do /I bet your hand were tingling after all that
I have a bad history with those stupid wire wheels! There’s a photo famous amongst my friends from when I was 21 with a wire wheel stuck in my leg whilst working on an escort Mexico! But yes I hate the bloody things but apart from sand blasting nothing else does the job sadly
Odd question, but what pants are those??
As in the work trousers? Just cheap ones off eBay I think. I go through so many
What's the tune ?
The background music? It’s just a royalty free guitar tune off iTunes.
Shouldn’t it be “Get a cup of tea, THEN sit back and enjoy?
I couldn’t enjoy it with that atrocious music! 🙉
Really struggling to find any decent music as it has to be royalty free. Any suggestions?
@@Automotiveolie
Yes. None! 😀
Shame about the music..........
It’s hard to find good music that you can use which isn’t copyrighted. No music is kinda boring so gives people the option to mute I guess
Oh!? Unconventional motor on this rr
What's this ?
