All those gorgeous petrol fumes. Nostalgia at its best.

Just an observation, welding and grinding with a flamable carpet on the floor is a fire waiting to happen as well as welding without gloves is very dangerous.

2mm thick to 0.6mm just like that

What a shame you didn't show how the original MacPherson strut was located longitudinally by the anti roll bar. This fact seems to have become forgotten and is now omitted from modern engineering textbooks.

Great to see you have not painted the letters over. So many projects ‘fall at the last fence’ due to that.

Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones, saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

I don't think a lot of people know this but that drill thing he was using with that metal discs it actually makes the metal shrink I don't know what it's called but I know what it does nice to see those old tools being used

That's a mark 1 zephyr or counsel.rear guard.👀🇦🇺

I cant even get my windshield clean lol this is awesome

Will The grid lights used for PDR work the same as the dye

18.minutes and not one pic of my car lol

Great meet as always. Some truly beautiful cars. A lot of passion and love gone into building them and keeping these old cars on the road. Standard or modified. It's great to see them being used.

Always enjoy my visit to Buckingham, thank you for taking me along.

I love the 1950s Fords Brilliant video 👍👍

Great video Steve - good day out had by all I'd say!

Heck of a lot of V8 conversions Their cars but not for me. The 3 Grace's were beautiful in their original form

Ford gives you more.

Hi Steve.Would you be able to confirm that the copper screw above the oilpressure sender contact is 1/8" npt for a Mk1 engine?Cheers Bruno

Great cars, pity about the weather.

Ford Consul / zephyr mk 1

Mum and Dad had a Mk1 Zephyr in the early 70s in New Zealand my brother had a Mk3 Zodiac around 79 beautiful car to drive 🙂

Really good review Steve. I think these are a great idea. I first saw one in my local car parts shop. My first thought was for heating up bolts, I seem to do a lot of that with my MAP gas on my old bus. The smaller flame would stop my heart rate going up when things catch fire! I have seen a lot of guys welding lead and would love to learn that. Many thanks for the help

I think you will find that the heat generated by the two metal surfaces rubbing together expands the metal on the high spot, then when the metal cools down the metal shrinks back further than original. The same also occurs when two pieces of metal are welded together and can be the cause of the metal distorting.

Had to pause and go for a leak,as all I could picture was Benny hill when you sped up the video 😂.love it mate.

Good one , been watching for years. Your skills have not come easy , practice does make perfect.

Excellent Steve, massive improvement on the door panel, I'm so impressed with the shrinking disc , I'm going to purchase one so I can do some work on my Healey, Such a great help watching you work on the panel 👍🏻👍🏻

Great progress 🎉

Great video steve 👍

I'd stay well clear of the pink and white one whilst unstationary.

I'm no expert on spot welding, however I believe the reason it didn't work for you is that the ground is supposed to be directly behind the area you're trying to spot weld.

I had 2 mk 1s. Back in the day and wonder if there are any renovated with the original jacking points still in place

Of course I'm 1 year late to the picture show but might I suggest a sequencer for the motors. That is, after the first motor starts, the subsequent motors start at say 1 second or (?) after the previous one. The sequence will eliminate the load surge on the mains of all four otors starting at the same time. Sequencer relays can be found in electric furnaces where several heating elements are used . Also I hope you reconsidered the plastic tubing manifold with something more suitable. Enjoyed your Hyundai compressor videos. Thank you.

Very nice pace. Gives one a bit longer to absorb the beauty of the cars on display. Thank you

This is a review. Not a frightening conversation about your fears

Lovely proper sized cars.

Well done Steve! Another job done with great attention to detail. Those bumpers appear to have very good chrome, is that original or rechromed?

Some really nice cars, i miss the old ace cafe now I'm living in Somerset but fond memories 👍🏻👍🏻

Another excellent job well done Steve 👍🏻👍🏻

Real quality work, superb.

Paint colour is RAF Roundel Blue Matt

So the very first thing we see are MK twos

Be careful with stainless threads. Use grease or they can weld the nut to the bolt by friction.

Amazing work

Not everyone is fortunate to be a good craftsman and at the same time be able to convey what you do, as you do. You have a calm, good way of explaining what you do.

I usually bleed the brakes by pumping the brake fluid in through the nipples on the calipers / wheel cylinders and up into the reservoir with an oil can

Thats excellent Steve, I'm going to buy one for my big healeys bonnet, another great video thanks mate 👍🏻

Take the guard off, I bought the flat disk for mine and its about same size, It works!!! i was shocked a 26$ amazon shrinker disk!! I find doing circles over the high is best method, I dont cool with rag like you though. I find I dont need too.

Yabadaba doo, thanks for the information. I was wondering if such things exist for oil canning. Just went on Amazon and did a little shopping for a flat disc . They only sell flat ones here in the states, 4.5 inch in diameter.👍

Amazing work. That shrinking disc did wonders!

Steve, thanks for reminding me and expanding on metal work methods and knowledge, and for making a great resource for restoration of these cars.
