V12 Roadster Project - Will It Run?
In this video, watch as I battle freezing temperatures in the garage to bring the long-dormant V12 roadster project car back to life! After years of sitting idle, this classic beast needs some serious TLC to get that iconic engine roaring again. From troubleshooting the ignition to dealing with stubborn old fuel lines, this is a journey filled with grit, determination, and general frustration.
Will it fire up, or will the cold get the best of me? Tune in to find out!

    I love how elaborate you are being with every step on the car, but why the bad lighting? What's with the red submarine lighting to dark making us seeing nothing? Point is I d love to connect what you are narrating to what you show on video... But what if I cant see it? Please more lighting and better camera angels... And a viewer thing boost, is to do lots of work being time lapsed in a short video to show lots of progress.. yet after all, Good work

      Thanks for the feedback buddy - as someone else said the red light is the heater I use as it's currently around zero Celsius in the UK. I am working on getting better lighting and doing more close up shots in the future though.

    I would just like to say that, in as much as a heater box can be beautiful, in my eyes, this heater box is indeed beautiful. Surface finish notwithstanding, the fundamental design is, to me at least, delightfully simole - elegantly so. And it has oleasing rotational symmetry. I doubt we'd succeed in getting in out on a commemorative oostage stamp, but it's a lovely heater box, and miles better than some ugly injection-moulded carbuncle.

    You're not worried about weight then? Maybe treat the inside of that air box. I'll wager there'll be some condensation build up. You don't wanna be firing bits of rust through the face vents in a years time. Loving the build.
