Nice to see you at the assembly part of the restoration. Good luck.
Diy electroplating..... The most frustrating process in the history of man.... starts off as a glass jar n a bit of vinegar..n a 12 volt charger.... Before long your garage turns into a meth lab to plate 3 rusty bolts.... Which even when finished r still heavily pitted but at least shiny:)
You sir, are one hell of a storyteller. Watched every single episode with great enjoyment (and a few giggles).
Dear!!! They found metals that take 7 years off!!!
OMG I LOVE it.
Masterpiece
If memory serves, the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act saw me designing and adding guards and cut-outs on all our machine tools then while doing my toolmakers apprenticeship at Brown and Sharpe Machine Tools in Plymouth, UK. The company was making m/c tools in the 1800s and we still had pre-1900 gear cutters in daily use.
3:26 👌🏻
Keep it up George, well done
Your videos just keep getting better and better, Cheers for the electroplating bit also, I learned a thing.
Just a suggestion… when the body is smooth, straight, and restored, could molds be produced to allow new replacement bodies to be produced? It would be great if we could build esprits from scratch, if the molds were available. Companies like Aerocraft Fiberglass and Design has done work like this.
Amazing. Bravo!
Absolute magic George. Best build series on RUclips ❤
Great job George
Absolutely love this channel and Lotus project. Curiosity to learn new skills and hone them to excellence is just a wonderful thing. Congrats on all the progress you have made thus far, and well wishes for the road ahead. Looking forward to seeing more.
Congrats man! So exciting to see the Esprit taking centre stage. Can't wait to see you driving that baby and the smile on your face. KEEP GOING! 😊
Really good job, except for the music. Somiteime is annoying, some other really sucks.
C'est toujours sympa ;)
Fantastic. Here's to the next 7.
George - you can get the serrated washers for the top wishbones - they are Opel parts and can be sourced from Germany
woaaaaa you gave a shoutout to the Rover man Geoffrey Croker! You two are my favorite automotive restorers ever!!!
If it’s to be the ditch, may as well be accompanied by a lovely sunset.
<3
Aim for the sunset! I've been to the ditch AND the ditch at sunset. Trust me, you don't want to go there. As long as the windscreen (windshield over here) is clean both inside & out, sun visor is functional and sunglasses handy, the sunset option is the better choice.
Love it.
I really enjoy watching the progress. So satisfying. Keep going! 😃👍🏼
One of its kind Video - mesmerising!!!!
eventually we'll get there :) thanks for the videos and effort.
You needed to grease all the bolts you installed, stops rust
bout time you finnished that taffy
SO satisfying to watch that chassis assemble itself in stop-motion!! Can't wait to see the engine work, you know that's my favourite bit.
Great progress, George!
Unique way, excellent 👌
goddamnit man, that intro made me cry!
great to see you still making videos!
Please avoid the ditch, i can only imagine the heartbreak if you destroyed it after all this work!
I swear George , your videos a therapeutic to me.
The "ditch at sunset" 😂😂
Been watching your channel some years. It's got to be a great feeling in such a project as this, to finally begin reassembly. Congratulations!
Will you be fitting spring pads between spring and spring base on the lower control arm? If none are available, you could make your own from HDPE (the stuff ski and snowboard base is made out of) by cutting the shape out of HDPE sheet, fit to spring collar, heat it up till it gets soft and then put the spring on top of it and push down to get the correct shape. I enjoy your videos tremendously!
Congratulations George, What an amazing leap towards driving the machine.
"The last bit was supposed to stay in my head" 😂
5:11 i’m beached az bro !
That electro plating footage 👌
Smashing good video🦾
This is such a fun video. I have so so many questions though Like what kinda metal (s) are you using to do the repairs? Where do you get them? What are the key tools you're using? How do you know where the screw holes of new cuts of metal should be exactly?? Where did you learn to weld? Where did you learn to do stuff like at 9:06? What even is that? How do you cut the rusted bits so precisely? Is there a tool for this? I'm literally dumb.
I watch allot of car restoration videos on RUclips and I rarely comment on any of them. I really appreciate the way you make your videos using stop motion. when I watched your first video I was hypnotised and hooked for life. I subscribed and liked the video after 5min of watching. You`ve really set the bar very high for car restoration videos on RUclips. Keep up the great work👍👍
I was told to just a hot air gun on land rover UJ’s 1st before using the grease gun to soften the grease.
I wanted to share a useless comment on me starting my first ever restomod (restoration, rolling restoration) on a cg125. And once getting to the electroplating process it gave me an excuse to share that i guess ill be taking advantage of this process and idea you mentioned and shared for my project. Always loved watching your therapeutic videos especially for the process of doing as much of everything on your own. Cheers!
