Nearly Finished
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 พ.ค. 2024
Welcome to Nearly Finished - a celebration of all the projects I have nearly finished over the past 25 years. This time however, it's going to be different. I will be showing how I go about finally getting these all to a stage of being finished. These projects include my V12 Roadster, a car I've created from scratch, my heavily modified Triumph GT6, my various VR simulators, my 6.0 Litre V12 Jaguar XJRS, my Vincent MPH and many more.
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!

V12 Roadster Project - 1000 Subscriber Special!
Not sure if you are aware but I just found this channel so I selected the V12 roadster play list. Unfortunately it shows the video in reverse order I.E. newest to oldest. Love the build and the videos.
Thanks for the feedback buddy - I'll take a look at that!
Yes, yes, more nonsense and shenanigans, please 👍.
Thanks buddy - will do!
I'm looking forward to pissing about with cars. I'm just gotten done the yearly 3rd quarter engine maintenance on my 2001 Subaru legacy 😂
Subaru Legacy's are cool buddy!
Well done, try to stay warm.
Thanks buddy - will do!
Well done. Wahoooooo from New Zealand!
Thanks buddy - from all the way from the other side of the world!
Beautiful
Thanks buddy
It lives!!!!
Yay! Thanks buddy
More nonsense please! Congrats on getting it turned over, see you next week as well.
Thanks buddy
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
Red light is shed heater. Not supposed to shed light at all :D
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.
She lives! (I kind of like these review episodes, so fingers crossed for more cold weather!)
Appreciate the feedback - they're also easier to make lol!
Lol 😆 , great timing just sat down with a fresh cupper
Never seen "cuppa" spelled like that..
Thanks buddy!
Congrats! It´s alive!!!!
Thanks buddy!
".pissing about with cars." Thanks fella, if the women folk hear that you could've put men and their sheds back years. Think before you truth and publish. Tusk! 🙂 Good stuff.
I'm so glad my wife just stepped out of the house before that truth aired 😂😅
I will watch my wording in future lol...
so glad it runs! 👍
Thanks buddy!
It a live mugs of tea all round
Thanks buddy!
I feel your pain with the cold. Work on my car has growned to a halt.
*ground
Yeah, this is not the sort of chilling out I had in mind lol
Brilliant work as always. Now that Complete Kit Car magazine has morphed into Complete Car Builder magazine have you thought about contacting those guys to do a feature on the project so far. Might attract some more interest to the channel.
That's an interesting idea buddy - I'll look into it!
TH-cam finally suggested your channel today and I've binged on the V12 roadster project. Perhaps one day an episode will tickle the algorithm and you'll go viral...The channel deserves millions more views! Thanks for the high quality work and videos 🙂
Thanks buddy - welcome to the channel!
Loving the heater box fab. May give that a shot on my 63 Falcon. I did some plastic welding on a late model mustang box but it’s still bulky.
Thanks buddy!
How much does this thing weigh?
Overall I think it will weight about as much as the XJS that all the suspension and engine came from
I do understand that weight is not a priority as you use 3 mm (?) sheetmetal on the heater (and everywere else too) On my V12 midengined homebuilt car I chase grams 🙂! My goal is 900 Kg.....🪶
Its 2mm steel, but yeah - it's not light!
Don’t get bored of the boring stuff 😊
Thanks buddy!
Heater box built like a vault 👍
It's not going to fall out lol!
Understand that to damn cold 🥶 it’s that way here lol
BBBrrrrr!!!!!
Love your channel and never get bored watching! Thank You!
Thanks buddy - appreciate it!
Do whatever keeps you motivated/warm. Here until the paint dries, lol.
Thanks buddy!
Can't speak for anyone, including YOU, but I'm NOT bored. Your pace is perfect for MY tastes. I've unsubscribed from nearly EVERY channel due to their break neck pace and "perfectionist" attitudes. Please don't change a thang!
Thanks buddy - really appreciate the support!
I was reading a 1921 copy of The Autocar today (one of the perks of my job) - gave me so many ideas for how I'd have designed the Roadster if it was me building it! I've enjoyed the interior videos, looking forward to seeing what comes next 🙂
Thanks buddy!
Nothing quite like skinning your knuckles in sub freezing weather. Thanks for the upload!
Thanks buddy!
Cannot understand that binky has so many subscribers but you don't have! I love your humour and your way you present the wholy work! Maybe you need to offer a brew and a biscuit! 🤣
Thanks buddy - could do with more subs!
Sure wish these were longer! I do appreciate your efforts.
I'm working on making them longer!
Can you move your big red heater behind the camera so maybe we don’t have to look at the sun?
Good suggestion - I'm working on improving the lighting overall!

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.
*delightfully simple *pleasing rotational symmetry *getting it put on
Thanks buddy - appreciated!
Good luck with the cold and getting the block up and running!
Thanks Buddy!
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.
It's got a 6 litre V12 so not that fussed about weight - but I agree that I need to treat the inside of the box!
Got to agree with you there . No enjoyment working outside in the bloody cold .👎👎👎
Agreed buddy!
Thank goodness the snow is nearly finished.
Yeah buddy!
Always interested and entertained here, especially as it costs me nowt. 🙂 Is it okay to head-bang when the beat is on? I don't want to lower the tone.
Thanks buddy!
Love the build the content and the dry humor that reminds me of my dad
Thanks Buddy!
Bring the thunder!! 👍🏻
Its on its way lol
Always interesting even if you don't agree.
Thanks buddy
Keep at it Gezzer , and Happy New Year to you 😎😎🤘🤘
Thanks buddy - happy new year to you too!
Go on then - it's bugging the hell out of me. What's the song, and where do I know it from?
Which one - the end music?
Glad to see you back in the garage. 👍🏻
Thanks buddy - glad to be back!
Keep up the good work, Happy New Years
And to you buddy!
Happy 2025 folks 👍. Make it a good one.
Thanks buddy -- you too!
The little set-backs and engineering around them make the most interesting videos too. Can't wait to see you get stuck into the gearbox ever since you revealed you were taking design influences from Spyker!
Yeah - still thinking about ideas on that one lol!
Glad to have you back for a brand new year, of trials, (Henry made his appearance) lol. Good to see you making progress around the albatross of all cars.
Thanks buddy!
Fantastic video, heat is must have in the uk...
Yeah I wish lol!
