      How very odd. For some strange reason the video must have slowed right at the end, which is why I sound so odd! I don't think it's worth reuploading another version, so I'll leave it as is and give those who reach the end a little surprise!

    If this were twice the length I'd be happy to watch it, these processes on this car are to die for.
    The beauty of this, is as I watch Metcalf sign-off on the good stuff like new rose joints ("I want this to be the best driving CV out there") is that when it's done, he's going to take us along for a DRIVE, a real full bore attack and eval. Not some dainty tour of the neighborhood. The full enthusiasm of the knowledgeable owner who's not afraid of using the beast as it was intended is what makes this channel special.

    hard to believe this car won a concourse only a couple of years ago and all of a sudden it needs a ton of work. Passion in the truest sense of the word. You can't even sit comfortably in it. But it's more than a design classic, it's a touchstone. As the E-type was for the 60's the Countach was for the late 70's/80's. There were arguably better cars but they caught the times. They embedded themselves as icons of their era.

    I remember watching the TV programme back in the 80's about the Africar. On their way to Africa they went through Italy and visited Lamborghini. They showed a Countach frame coming out of the welding shop and a guy with a measure, hammering away at it to straighten any twists from the welding.

      That could well explain the random rust points they describe as belting it with a hammer could well start a rust point. I think it's hilarious whenever I see the frame of a Lamborghini how awful the welds are - Harry's car is no exception - always looks like an apprentice on their first day.
