🤣 i have mate. It’s almost back together.

@@Gibboplay good good 👍

That’s what I said! But a few more swear words 🤣

Yeah I’ve always wanted one. I’ll appreciate this one once it’s bankrupt me! 🤣 Thanks for watching.

🤣🤣 100% mate. It’s more of a challenge now. Even better.

Thanks mate. I definitely will carry this project on. Starting to like this car. It’s trouble 🤣

I’ll be adopting a very different approach next time I get the welder out. Scary stuff losing control of a situation like that. Appreciate the msg and thanks for watching.

Defo mate. It’s a shame. I’ll fix it. Thanks for watching.

So true. I did think it was going to get totally out of control at one point. Got lucky really. Thanks.

It’s made me work harder on it mate. It’s a Challenge 😉

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoy the content. I’ll get it sorted. 😊

Thanks mate. I’m going to try 😉

100% agreed. It’s not a mistake I ever want to make again. More planning and safety in the future.

Daft thing was that I have one in the Honda but in a panic you don’t stop to think. Just a learning curve I suppose. Thanks for watching.

Yeah the sound levels are something I struggle with when editing. It’s a nightmare 🤣🤦🏼‍♂️ thanks for watching.

Yeah it’s been really testing me trying to fix this damage. What’s so annoying is it was the very last little plate that caused it. Getting it back together now though. Thanks.

@@Gibboplay if it's any consolation, the welding did look good!!

Cheers mate. Yeah what a balls up! Proper damaged it. I’ll sort it 😉

@@Gibboplay don’t worry bro, you’ll do something amazing with her ❤

Thanks mate. There’s a lot of satisfaction bringing these cars back to life. I’m learning loads along the way and making some silly mistakes. Next video is a bit of a disaster video so keep your eye out for it. Thanks for watching.

Not sure off the top of my head mate. I built it 7 years ago and now have a company selling them. Shackhouse company Ltd.

@Gibboplay nice looks realy good well done 👏

Thought the same wonder what it cost to biold I'm materials

Thanks 👍 this is my business.

🤣 thanks. It worked great.

Copart sells all kinds of cars. The fiesta wasn’t a crash damaged car so has a clean history. It just had a hard life! 🤣 Still it can be really risky but I like the challenge. Thanks for watching.

Hi. I’ve been using a company called Marlow paint supplies. They do a paint called Mipa that is great for base coat colours. I use Upol system 20 clear and lay it at about 28-30 psi. My compressor needs upgrading to be honest it struggles to keep up sometimes.

Cheers mate.

Hi. This is the gun I use www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363879235683?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=bN58zuirSmm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9_VjO7WfRwq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Had no coolant in it mate. The thermostat housing was broken so it all leaked out.

Thanks. Yeah It’s the aim to get these cars fixed properly. Its a challenge it worth it.

😉 thanks. It works a treat but quite dangerous. I like my fingers. 🤣

We will see my friend. My time is free and I enjoy the process.

Thanks. It really came up well. Lot of work though.

I used a solvent base for the red it is a product called Mipa from a company called Marlow paint supplies. The clear coat is a UPOL 2k called system 20 with a fast hardener. The UPOL products are incredible and really good price.

I agree it would look great but I’ve spent enough 🤣

100% agree. My neighbours are pretty cool so don’t mind. I’ll not spray a full car at once outside though! It was carnage 🤦🏼‍♂️

Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers mate.

Thanks. It was a mission but worth it.

You and me both! The S3 has quite a bit wrong with it 🤦🏼‍♂️

Glad you like it! Thanks for watching

Me too I’ve never driven one. Should be interesting.

Thanks. The wheels are 20 inch www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186142488883?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cL9LvJsuSxS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=9_VjO7WfRwq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks. Self taught on painting and believe me I’m no pro. Made a lot of mistakes along the way. Just got to try and learn from the cock ups! 🤣

@@Gibboplay yeah absolutely. Do you mind me asking what equipment you use? Keen on trying my hand at it. Thanks and look forward to the next video.

Yeah it’s a big risk buying something like this I agree. All in the next video 😉 Thanks for watching.

Really appreciate this comment. I’m actually not a mechanic at all. I build garden rooms for a living but have always loved cars. This whole thing is an exercise to see if it’s possible whilst learning and trying to entertain, educate others. Believe me I’ve made a few mistakes that I’ll show in the next video. All good fun. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I certainly will 😊

Thanks mate. I dropped a teaser at 16.35 on the video 😉 no one noticed it I don’t think! 🤣

Thanks. I spent hours. The next video shows how well it worked out. 💪🏻

Agreed but some of the scratches had to be sanded back to the plastic so I wanted to ensure a good surface for the new paint. All about the prep work my friend 😉

Glad you enjoyed it
