    Well its quite a task- that sure is a shed of a car. I think you should sweep up the rust and put it in a matchbox and take that instead. Nah! give the old gal one last road trip! - Al, Fudge, Miss Puggly 😃😃😍😍😎😎

    Yesterday was me and the mrs 17 years anniversary and we was both working. Tonight however we shared a bottle of something cheap but effective and watched two very clever chaps with plans that were cunning yet effective rescue a loverly old french car. The mrs was impressed with your dedication to the safety's for Mrs D too. Honestly 😂 how many 17 year wedding anniversaries are spent watching a 305 get roadworthy but not restored..i dont think many.
    I think your phrase "its not perfect but..." is a great guide to our marriage too 😂😂😂😅
    Thanks guys

    It's getting there, I bought many years ago a farmers cast off, he had a Mini van left in the field & got it back on the road, bit of welding & an engine & gox change & ran it for a few years & it didn't owe me a penny, sold it but now wished i'd have kept it now the prices have gone sky high

    Great video as always. We had a version of those hetra lifts in our garage. They were brilliant, we had enough of them that enabled us to could pick up a tractor unit and trailer together, put the lot on high lift axle stands, take them away to the other side of the garage and lift something else, as you basically said less ramps needed. Fantastic invention.

    Great video , Al, Fudgy , it’s like re visiting my past , back in the late 70’s I was doing welding in my service station workshop all the time . I bought a Boramig (new) for £750 ! Yes they were dear when the first came out , and it paid for itself in a month if I remember correctly . Of course I’m a lot older than you two , in my day it wasn’t law to weld all the way round a plate just an inch here and there 😂 I couldn’t do it now my knees are gone ! . Keep up the good work 👍🏻

You did very Well Al with the repairing and plating up of the floorpan, very Impressive Sir. Lovely to see the Brakes and pipes being Restored and made Safe. I am really looking forward to see the next video of this Lovely Rare Beauty. REmoving those Old vehicle Lifts and Installing the new one, should be really Good and Help the runnings of 6D Diesels Al. Your video's are always a real Joy and nice to see some real TLC and getting these Amasing vehicles back on the road. Very Well to You Al and Fudgy.
