Someone's been watching Soup Classic! Love the Shimasaurous. They need to dial back a bit on the sealant, all that excess squeezing out into the engine can be a mess for the next guy, assuming it doesn't end up on the oil pump screen.
utterly brilliant, soooooooo much work with camera and editing, u should b proud :) I was following the Irish full Esprit restoration with similar camera work, however it became obsessive and seems to have stalled, which is a shame
Thank you very much. The work took about a month. Had to wait for import parts. It was not a full restoration, otherwise it would take about 2000/3000 hours
Hi Jeff. The best way to go about it is to send pictures of your car, or to take your car to a restoration shop like ours to be inspected. When we quote, we usually quote per hour and give our client a estimated labour time as well as a parts list. Furthermore, these cars always hide something that gets discovered during dissasembly. Hope this helps
I think you will have a problem with this engine and it may well seize. Have you seen the amount of sealer used on the cam towers @ 4:51, 4:58 & 5:22 All that is oozing on the outside will be doing the same inside and finding its way into the oil ways. I've seen this block the Esprit oilways on many amateur rebuilds. You might want to redo that before you start or fit the engine.
May look more than it actually was. Engine running well. That was not last fitment. Was purely for video and making last checks with shimming. Love that stuff though, smells really good
Soup Classics approves of everything.
Love to see techs that enjoy, and take pride in their work !!!
This video should have 50k views. Why is the algorithm hiding it? Great work!
Thank you very much
Thoroughly enjoyed that restoration. Video editing is top notch.
Well worth a sub.
Looking forward to your future content.
Thank you Ramsay. Have a lot of content coming this year. Tons of work lined up
Utterly briljant to see what all needs doing and then so cool edited... Respect!
Thank you very much

Good job sir, keep it up!
Thank you very much
Wow! Great job. I have a few jobs to do on mine and I'm scared 😂
Thanks Jack. Dont be scared. Mistakes will be made. But you will learn from them and do better next time
Great video!
Thank you very much @Esprit Fan
Two times bravo guys! Both works are excellent, car restoration and video editing. Congrats. How long it took for the car works?

@@liamvanderriel8870 Thanks, Is there a Lotus book or maintenance manual I can purchase in case I would do the same as you did?

My mate Malcolm's ex Esprit from Bulwer. I'm restoring a 81 S3na.
Inspired by @Soup Classic Motoring!
Simply deserves much better music to go with this marvellous work
Any suggestions sir?
What would the approximate cost of this particular restoration run? I have an '87 that I'd love to do this to.
