Best car to come out of Dagenham, I had one in 1977, love it then, and still do, although no longer in my ownership.

What type of drill bit do you use for the spot welds?

OMG, I can't believe you did all this work, great job!! I'm sure mine is just as rotten body shop quoted me 35K but I don't think they going this far.

Why do you grit the clear cut it looks so good?

Fantastic result

How utterly fantastic. Reminds of Silk Violet on Nova GTEs! I understand the new owner may have painted it black again? Dismal, how boring the rich are. Why didn’t he just go and buy a black one already?

Miss you xua588h

Absolutely gorgeous miss mine

i like all old British cars 👌👌🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍

Love the car, absolutely stunning job, but please, please get rid of those wheels and put the original ones on.

The Mk2 Cortina that isn't a 1600E. I used to like these cars but preferred the bigger Corsair.

Speechless, the love radiates in the end result.

Great job. Loved the video.

What a beautiful car, a real classic, I love all Fords from that Era.

Lovely 1600 e my mate from Webster Rd Walsall Ted Dutton had a couple back in the late 70s top car top mate 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🦊

What a car what a restoration 👌,the first car I ever owned but mine had the black vinyl roof , great car to drive who needs power steering 😂

Whats the darker layer he's removing there?

Nice and great video.. So, how's the latest video for the next episode? Just waiting for it👍👍👍

Seeing how you actually unstuck and released the latch would have been nice. 😒

What an absolutely beautiful gorgeous stunning piece of iconic history , these cars were a dream to drive i no i had one of them, Trouble was some scroatum bag stole mine , but was lucky enough to get it back, Never felt the same about it after that , And away back then i didn't have any welding skills to speak of or a garage to restore it , Now i can mig weld to MOT standards . Quite a few years ago I made a 4 ft folding press from 100 x 100 x10 mill angle iron to replace Sills, inner wings valance panels battery box ( floor panels sill to bulkhead ) on a car that had a very low milage took me 18 months knocked the stuffing out of me , But when i took it for it's first mot in 5 years it passed with a huge compliment from the Tester .

Nice work. Can’t believe you didn’t remove the steering wheel. Would have made the lads work a bit easier in the drivers side foot well 😂

mine was RMA 126H

Great workmanship! My only complaint, the chassis should be black.

Not only is that the best jig I have seen but some of the best bodywork repairs I have seen on TH-cam. really brilliant work on bringing that E Type back!

Would it have been less work, and maybe less expensive to just get one of the new complete bodies? I think I saw a British company that's making complete shells from the original jigs.

I don't understand how a hard-edged rigid sanding block can work on a concave part of the body. And could not much of this extremely tedious work be automated?

😮 quality work

Had one best car ever owned.

We had a mint 1935 speed 20 vanden plus tourer a black one in new Zealand in the 1960s it was bloody brilliant and fast 1o8 m.p.h

What a superb restoration. Looks all the better for not having a tan or black vinyl roof too. My first car back in 1984 was a series 2 1600E - HTW 364H, I loved that car.

Absolutely superb work and incredibly detailed work too, well done everyone

So how did you get it open if attaching the cable didn't do anything?

They should make film about Tadek Marek. I saw a documentary on him awhile ago. Fascinating life. He actually produced one DB5 with a v8 engine for himself it has a 200 MPH Speedo.

My favourite car ever.

Stunning piece of work, amazing skills and knowledge 👍

What an absolutely beautiful car,❤ such hard work gone into this stunner,,great work guy's 😉

What a beauty love these cars

For me the 1600E is the rarer and far more attractive car to have. There was nothing to surpass them in their day.

Cars from England are historically unreliable!

It's so lovely to see these old classics brought back to life. Owned one of these myself, ''Not 1600E though 'back in the day. So thanks for bringing them back 👍

I wrote my mark 2 jaguar off 1978 and my mate who owned his own garage gave me a 1600E to get to work it was the same colour as this one I ran about in that car for two years it had holes in the foot wells and when it rained the water used to splash up inside the cabin happy days this one is absolutely beautiful

Stunning and stock………..1600E was always, imo, the best looker and performance wise, just under the Lotus version……

That was our 1St car in 1980

Now that is some resto what a beautiful motor ❤

Lovely bit of kit Chris. These jigs have certainly come a long was since the old blackhawk systems!. Have you seen the system that moto technique use that can digitally scan the measurements?

Very interesting video thank you.

Lovely car, great slo-TV ☺️ A lot of polishing!

Amazing that .. better than new 👏👏👍

Had a 1600e for about 10 years APH 813H best car ever wish i had kept it.

Would it not be easier to have the thing up on a ramp?
