Just seen outside kendal brewery fancy detailing another? 😅. And keep the badges off

Hi mate. I have a 2.5DSE that im running through sorting out to. I've replaced the headlining myself. It's a bit of a faff but very much worth it. I've just taken both axles off, stripped, and resprayed them. Rebushed, the suspension, including the ball joints and redone all the brake lines, new discs, pads, and callipers and refurbed the wheels. Happy to share any hard won knowledge if I can. I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the P38's had amplifiers for each speaker buried in the doors. Assuming you havemt solved it, yet, that may be the problem as a head unit swap is not that starightforward on these, I don't think, although others may know more than me, as I've not got to that job yet.

Great job. I have to do the same. Thanks.

Nice car

Watched all the P38 videos Adam, really good effort bud, keep it coming mate. Big thumbs up. Regards Moose

Very nice. That car's with the right person! Fortunately there are people around like us revitalising cars normal people just trash.

Heater issue will be the blend motor on that side.

A lotta silly talk there lads..

Look awful

to reset sunroof with roof closed press closed for one second, release, open roof fully, release,press open, release, close roof tilt roof up, release, repeat until sunroof set appears on display

Is that the Bosh motor?

Wow, she’s looking amazing. Bringing my old one back to life as well out of storage. Quite a project and trying. I gain strength from your patience, calm, demeanor, and reasonability thank you

Adam these videos are fantastic and you've done an incredible job, I've had the P38 Autobiography 4.0 V8 no sat nav model, I'm now on the l322. There's a massive RR audience on here so personally I would like to see Father's L322 being worked on if possible. All the best for the future with the channel

Great transformation, so much easier to keep on top of it now the heavy liftings been done 👍🏼

hi i just purchased a p38 (1996) and am curently going through the same things as you did here, cleaning, replacing the headliner and so one, i also have the exact same issue with the AC, driver side is hot and passenger side works, were you able to locate the issue ?

Where did you get the roof lining from please

Looks great with the Hurricanes. I have them on my red HSE.

SHE LOOKS BRILLIANT!! These wheels are the winners. I swapped my triple sports for Mondials but I actually miss my triple sports now. When it’s time for new rubber I might switch back to

Well done Adam. I did exactly the same thing. Moved from Comet to Hurricane. I wanted to match the original press photos of the P38A. Re stereo - I think the Bremen SQR 45 looks great, but doesn't fit - but it has the perfect Retro look. I switched out the bass speakers at the back with a super common brand off Amazon. Lanzar MAXP64 Max Pro 6.5-Inch 600-Watt Small-Enclosure 4-Ohm Subwoofer. Quite cheap. Fit is perfect, no bodgy work arounds. Sound is great and had them in for 3 years. Haven't figured which brand to swap up the front speakers

It's really coming together now Adam I must say your you've got bucket loads of patients especially when you was spraying the steering wheel 👍great job I'm looking for one myself I live in west Somerset I've got a nice 2003 Saab 93 aero convertible it's 21 years old in November very good condition with only 96,000 miles on the clock so well low but I've got a boxer dog and its just not practical I do love the car though I'm in no hurry to get a range rover I've done me homework and I'm nowhere near has good has you doing stuff yourself love the videos looking to the next one cheers Dave

Quality video Adam!

Mostly get replaced the whole sound system and get a amp for all the speakers, I assume you got a Dsp amp on it and that’s zhit

I can give you some information about a guy in Nottingham that mastered the p38 and he could recreate some rare interior parts

hurricane>commet for sure. I also love the mondiales but I think the Hurricanes are the best of the bunch

Dont mind the older set of wheels to be honest but the new news do look good , I just like the car. Its good to see you tackle the rust now in the spare wheel base rather then just leave it.

Looking good mate

It’s looking well Adam. A bit of hard work and a few quid certainly pays off. And the P38 is increasing in value.

Hope your well Adam mate it’s Lewis D from school

For that car, with that interior, a black headliner would be sacrilege

Great vid bud always nice to see a fellow P38 content creator 😊

Bro that end result, fml. That bitch is baaaaaaaad I said to myself! Shout out from the States, need to get off my ass and get my P38 done, but mine is Epsom Green.

I think the black works here cuz of the black headlines, but I do love the wood too. Love the videos, keep em coming, p38 looking amazing

I would recommend you use a lambs wool pad and cutting compound 1st up, than switch to foam polishing pads and polishing compound, but regardless it come up good

hi Adam been looking for a decent p38 myself I'm in no hurry better safe than sorry you've certainly got patients in a abundance really enjoy your videos cheers

Looks fantastic Adam. Your video are great thank you. Regards your hvac, I've just replaced my passenger side blend motor, you can get to it if you remove the glovebox and airbag.

looks terrific for an old P38 damn nice job Adam! One small question , the rear muffler boxes look to be hanging very low..... are they original? they may ground out if you go up a steep incline. I had a 2001 4.6 HSE P38 20 years ago and I only saw the small rear tips of the pipes at the back not the entire mufflers.... are these rear mufflers aftermarket ?

Nearside probably worse for scratches because of hitting hedges on country lanes. Didn’t you say you got it from someone local?

the comet wheels you have now are pretty desirable I wish I could take those and replace my hurricanes

Great job. Keep the videos of this and farming coming - really enjoyable to watch work being done to a high standard.

I actually give mine a quick wash and blow dry after detailing to remove any residue before waxing,

IMO one of the best looking cars ever made inside and out. I miss mine 😐

I always thought it was a black truck, also you should out the badges back after detailing it will be satisfying

I recently did a polish on my p38 and it made it look better, need to replace the vac blend doors..... and the shocks but she's in really good shape,,, oh and somehow I need to get a new key made

I’m a car detailer. You did amazing! Keen to see these new wheels… Mondials or tripple sport is my guess

Very smart; congratulations on your stamina! I'm about to do something very similar on a P38, but the drivetrain and a lot of under-bonnet mechanicals/electricals have to be on worked on by someone who knows that part of the machine better than I do. I spent a few years doing the same process on a boat, finally owning a shiny and very lovely Fisher25. This P38 is going to take a very long time, but I've nothing much else to do! I don't have anything like the indoor space that you do, so the weather will be a factor.

Why do you have so genius car skill !! Are you professional ???

wow great job that must of taken ages , love it when black cars look like a mirror

Looks great Adam. I need to do the same on mine. Been fixing slow eas leak on mine. I’ve had the dash out but I’ve still got the hevac warning book. I need to take the whole dash out again and sort the blend motors. Good job.

Hey man. Just wanted to ask, if you personally knew the previous owner or did you buy the car from an online-ad? Do you plan on daily driving it?

Adam you have been missed!
