Thanks for your comment, as you may have noticed I am new to video making and fabrication. However I am having fun making them and trying to learn a new skill. Thanks again all the best.Lee

Thanks for your comment. When I started to make my repair panels I only welded one side, I thought it would be quicker. However when I started to file the edges down little holes started to appear so I had to re weld them. It is quicker and produces a stronger panel when I weld both sides. All the best...Lee

Glad you liked it, wasnt sure if anyone would watch it,................Thanks for your comments.......all the best...Lee

Absolutly agree more people should do this. I have been going to Santa Pod to watch for 30+ years and recognised the car. Seeing the other side is really good as I dont think anyone else has done this and technology now gives the sport more perspective. We love to watch the racing as a family at the track and here. We appreciate all the hard work and skill on show as we know we do not have the skill or talent to do what you can. We both love the sport from opposite sides :)

Thanks again, yep it is a great sport doesnt matter if your driving or watching. Everyone in the pits help each other when needed.This must be the only sport where every one helps each other, if you need a part or help someone will always come to the rescue. Thanks ...................Lee

Could have been a lot worse.............Just a dent in the wing. Had new wings fitted years ago so the steel was all good, if the wings were original they would have been filled with body filler, Must get it repaired soon....................Lee

Out of interest how much of the A30 did you restore ? just wondered as this is my first resto am I going in the right direction.Not looking to make it a show winner, but making it as nice as I can. Morris convertible sounds great dont think there are many around.....................thanks for your comment all the best...Lee

@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer Apart from rechroming & engine work, I did all of the other work, welding doors, wings, sills, floor, resprayed in Tartan Red, looked a treat, took it to the national in Cornwall,dynamo packed up while we were there, but no other issues. will seeif I can post a photo.

Would be fantastic to see a photo......................Thanks

Nice one, hope you have lots of fun with your new project...............all the best...Lee

Cheers..certainly be a lot to do..thank you

So glad you like them, yep I think these wheels really make the car. Thanks so much for your comment, it is very positive to think that people like what I am posting. Still learning this TH-cam editing..........All the best ..Lee

Thanks 👍

Never thought of that, they are very similar. The car has so many curves. When you compare the 50's doors to modern day cars they are all flat...................Thanks for your comments...all the best...Lee

Thanks for your comment, a couple of times I was tempted to cover up some of the rust, but gald now now I cut it out and replaced it. It didnt seem to take any longer. This car was my retirement project, so I think its best to do the best job I can. As you can see from the videos I am on a steep learing curve with the fabrication and welding etc. However I am having a great time with this restoration......Again thanks for your comments...All the best...Lee

Thanks for your comment, the rim is ok, however in a later video I have changed all the rims...............thanks again for your comment all the best...Lee

Thanks......its seems to be taking forever, still it keeps me active.........................Lee

Thanks for watching........................Lee

Should be running it at Santapod this year, will post the results......

Having fitted them to one side of the car not sure if I like them. Will keep the original wheels just in case.......Thanks so much for your comments...............all the best ..Lee

@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer its easy to get a new set of chrome covers for the original wheels makes a big difference

Thats a good idea, didn't think of that.................Thanks

Hope you enjoy it!

Nice one..

Yep more comfortable with the mechanical side of the rebuild, however the main reason for the purchase of the Austin was to have a go with repairing the body work. Have repaired two doors so far and half way through the third.Having made loads of mistakes with the previous doors this one seems to be working out ok. All the best...Lee

Hi, Have been watching Fitzzy for a while now, he was one of the channels that helped me decide to take on a car that needed a lot of fabrication. He makes it look so simple, and shows easy ways without all the fancy tools. I am half way through repairing the passenger door bottom, have taken your advise and will repair the inner skin first...........all the best Lee

Hi Lee, it's a learning curve for all of us to be honest we all make mistakes and we learn from them, me included. Yes Fittzy makes it look easy. If I was doing mine now I would invest in a shrinker stretcher they are cheap and save alot of time. Have you watched Yorkshire car restorations? I have subscribed and wish you all the best with your project, looking forward to seeing it complete.

Yes I watch Yorkshire Car Restorations, again they are fantastic to watch and give me a bundle of tips.....

Seems both Fitzzy and Yorkshire have different approach to fabrication, Fitzzy uses the body as a template and Yorkshire just seem to cut the rust out and start again. They both work, and been using a mixture of both, Thanks for subscribing.................Lee

Thanks for your comments, you are right I can never understand why people bodge things, must be better to at least try to do the repair correctly. This is my first go at body repairs, seems to be going ok, by the time I get to the last door things should get better. The biggest bodge I have ever seen was many years ago I borrowed my sisters Hillman imp to pick up some parts, on loading parts in the back it went through the floor. Someone had stuffed a pair of jeans into the sill and fibreglassed over. Thanks again for you comments..all the best...Lee

Thanks so much for feedback, maybe the next video will try without, what about music when I have to speed up parts of the Video?

@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer Well it's your video and it's good you ask for feedback, but I can only express my preferences , some sites you visit is like listening to top of the pops, 10 seconds does me, I wish you well with your project

Thanks again will leave the music off next time..................All the best..Lee

@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer Hi Lee -this is my first time watching your channel and I'm enjoying the video, thanks! Just to add though that it would be much easier to listen to without the music. In the time lapse sections it's different of course. Keep up the good work!!

Have cut out the music, videos seem easier to watch now................Thanks...Lee

Its a very old Myford, its ok for small jobs as there is a bit of play in the headstock (Chuck)

Its strange but it took me longer to edit the video than do the job, so glad you liked it, seem to be getting better with the video editor.....Thanks again...Lee

It would be fantastic if you could let me know if you though it good or bad? Anything needed to make it better, as you can tell I am still learning..................Lee

Hey Lee..I spent 26 years living outside in the woods and outdoors so I know nothing about video editing..enjoy watching the build on the austin...just don't start including sound effects and daft music and it will be great..cheers, steve

Hi, Have cut out the sound effects and loud music, videos seem much better, thanks so much for your input....Lee

Glad the channels going well..

Thanks, very slowly as I am still learing fabrication and body work...............again thanks for your comment, all the best Lee

Still watching?

Just been on video editor and will now be able to turn down the volume, still on that learning curve...

Thanks so much for your feedback...

Hope you enjoy it!

Have you joined the Austin A30/35 Club? that where I found mine from..

No..might have to do so..thanks for the info...only just got engaged to my lovely partner 1st of April....so won't be for a little while yet..cheers

Thanks Steven...

Thanks.....

No worries

Please let me know if they start to get boreing, the latest videos are in a better format, again still learning..all the best Lee

Cheers Lee..I couldn't even work a camera..lol..no really enjoying watching this a35 project...cheers

Thanks Steve, its strange that when you see someone fabricating it looks so easy, have been watching Yorkshire car restorers they make it look so easy. However have been learning with tips from them but it seems to take me forever.Due to publish another video soon as I attempt to repair the rear door, didnt quite go to plan.......Thanks again Steve..

Thanks so much, still trying to make videos that people want to watch, Thanks again....Lee

Thanks so much for your feed back, as you can see I am new to this video making, not sure what people would want to watch. Started to video the car just for me to keep record of the work . Thanks again...all the best...Lee

Thanks , I was shocked about the wheel not sure how it stayed on.I had the car transported to me, it was winched on. The driver did mention that the front wheels were draging slightly. When the car arrived home it rolled off the transporter, well with a little push into my garage. Think the only thing holding it on was the brake shoes...........Thanks for your comments.......All the best...Lee

Yes the wheels will help, these wheels seem to go with most cars.................Thanks for feedback................all the best..Lee

Need as much help as possible to dress her up...

Thanks for your comments, thought I would try the music but doesnt work. As you might have noticed that I am new to making videos and finding it hard to find what people want to watch. Have just published another video, unfortunately it has music at the start and hopefully the second part will be more of an interest for the viewers. Again thanks for your comments.............all the best...Lee

Thanks for the tip...............thought I would try something different, seems it didnt work.................thanks so much for the feedback...................

Will be, waiting for the the reg. number from DVLA and then it will be tax and mot exempt.........

That's better than fitzzy Lee.

Thanks, lots of welding, but it will be worth it................fingers crossed.

Not sure about talent, but I am trying very hard to learn new skills. Thanks for your comment....

Yep they are very capable, but I find them horrible to drive, no power steering or power brakes. Nothing is adjustable, steering wheel or seat, still they are a fantastic machine...

Fingers crossed all goes well, will have to practise on some steel off cuts first to get the mig set up. Only get one chance to get it right. Thanks for watching, all the best....Lee

To get it to go any faster would cost a lot of money. Still very happy so far, everything on the car was built by me. Still a lot of fun driving it...........Thanks so much for comment.....

i bet it's a lot of fun.

Yep its fantastic to drive, well on the track. Have driven it on the road thats not fun at all.

Thanks for your comment, trying my best, everything seems to take a long time...............

Hope so, brought it for my retirement, it has got potential. Just need to get better with the fabrication. Thanks for your comment, it definitely gives the motivation to get on with it..

Thanks 👍

Have made a few more videos that will publish shortly, might be of interest to you.....Thanks for watching.

Yep, still playing, this will be my last car as I am getting on a bit now.How are you keeping?

Ok thanks.

Thanks for advise, been thinking about the spare wheel carrier and will shorten it so it will still give me protection, like a bumper, and wont be using a spare wheel....

Thanks for sharing, When I was very young I can remember my uncle had a A30/35, he painted an orange stripe over the bonnet -roof -and boot and told me that it made it go faster.......yep I fell for that one............have only had it a couple of weeks still think it is a fantastic little car. Just working on trying to free up the engine.........Thanks for sharing with me, All the best...Lee

Sorry about that, didnt have my glasses on so everything was blurry. Hope you enjoyed the content, fingers crossed my videos will get better..................all the best...Lee

@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer I have the same problem 😂

Thanks so much for feed back, fingers crossed the videos will get better. Unfortunately my car is only one year older than me. Unable to strip to much down on the car as I am waiting for an inspection so DVLA can issue me a reg. number. Just doing small things at the moment, cylinder head and getting the engine unstuck...all the best..Lee
