Hello, "Classic Automotive services" I was analyzing your channel and saw that in your channel have some problem, That's why your channel is not much growing and not getting much engagement, If you can solve these problems, Your channel will grow like a storm. If you tell I can tell these problems. Where can I tell? Here or ig or where?

Nice to be busy, nice to hear the updates & plans :)

I think stag’s look so much better without a stripe. The original’s never had them.

It seems to be missing the clip on vent duct that fits to the cowl. It's needed unless you want fumes in the car. Mine is one of the last built, a Canadian spec 1982.

Theres a specific feeling when popup headlights are done right, unlike the F40 where they knida look bad both yp or down, these look good when they are up or down.

Nice to see the new edition, you are right, a lot of money must have been spent changing this car over to a TR8, really surprised at how good it looked so must have been stored well. Also seeing the engine turn over, it looked stable as anything, so I reckon money must have been spent on that too. Must admit I'd stick SU's on it now. Can't wait for the prototype TR8 getting sprayed & built, now that is one car I'd love to own.

It’s funny how everyone says the TR7 should have had the Rover V8 from the start, but nobody rated that engine when it used to get transplanted into Stags to replace the Triumph V8….

When I owned a TR7 in the 1990s, that front panel was notorious for rot!

Seen your link on FB group and just subbed! Got to get myself a rotisserie for when I start on my tR6

Just like to know where you got the panel for the TR8 from? I know there is no old stock of these (I don't need one) just curious.

Really enjoyed the TR7 engine. Always great videos and really appreciate you posting these. Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Great insight for these cars buddy really liked how you discussed the the issues. Merry Christmas to ou & looking forward to the new year with the 8, hope your 2025 is a good one!

Looks a top job on that shell. Merry Christmas to you and thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.

Awesome work, the shell looks amazing 👏

Door gaps are BL, Bloomin Loveley as opposed to factory, which were BL, Bloomin Lousy

We’ve been going for years to a town called Montecarlo near Lucca in Tuscany, Italy… there was a black TR7 there we used to see a lot. It’s great that the weird US emissions TR7 engine has been refreshed and is going abroad to keep another 7 running….

Good job engine looks fantastic... Thanks for making the video we apreciate your time...GN

So happy to hear you say about how good the TR7 engine was, I tell people the same, if you look after them (regular oil changes and a good flush) they will easily still perform past 100K. My Tr has done 77K and the car runs and drives superbly! Saab used the same block in their turbo version in the early 90's although the engine was 180 degrees different in the car to the 7's!

He is real and relatable so what if he says erm a few times .

Do yourself a favour and watch your video back. Try and count how many times you say "erm" ! 🤥

Loving the frequent updates on this, what a great looking shell 👍

Nice job on what looks to be quite difficult pieces to cut out and replace!!

Superb attention to detail. On another level. Excellent skills and knowledge.

Your work is absolutely superb. Attention to detail is incredible. Love your videos.

CHEERS from AUSTRALIA

Looks amazing! Curious why you painted the valve covers and intake plenum black instead of the factory grey color? Also, what did Autosparks charge to wrap your wiring harness? I have one that could certainly used a refresh.

Absolutely looks beautiful quality work looking forward to see TR7 painted enjoy your videos very much

Wow! What an amazing job! Spectacular is right! Thanks for sharing all the videos👍🏻

Engine looks a million dollars and thank you for showing the loom being re-bound, very interesting

A great job on the engine it looks pristine.

Great to see thanks for sharing!!

Loving the content on this build, and also the attention to detail, it's going to be superb judging by your work so far. It must be very rewarding to see it coming together after all the effort that you've put in 👌👍

What is the inlet manifold from? I used to own an SD1 Vitesse and the manifold was completely different to this.

Great detailing and love seeing the V8 coming together with some really great info for people to learn from. Loved your offer of help too, top man!

Great video enjoy watching very much

Single Stromberg on the US TR7 !

That was really interesting. Lovely looking Cortina, but surprising (or perhaps not so surprising) what can go wrong if you don't really know what you are doing with an engine!

Another great video really enjoy watching you certainly know your stuff

What do you mean “balancing the pistons” ? You mean evening out the weights of the assemblies by removing excess material ? You implied that “bob weights” compensate for different weights across the piston assemblies ?

I really admire your work Chris. The machinists have done a great job it seems. Might pop in again sometime and say hello, or see you at the NEC!

Nice to see all the parts being refurbished and some great tips on the the new parts too. Wishing you all the best continuing on, look forward to it.

Love your channel. Keep going. It will grow.

Interesting on the TR8 how some things like the crank were not worn but the oil pump was... obviously the Rover V8 was an old technology engine even in the late 70s and there are many features like the camshaft that were never very durable even in its later years... Worrying how rusty the callipers and even the starter motor can get just from sitting for years, but they all look great now !

Nice update with good info on the oil pump. Good idea to show the witness marks highlighting the wear! Hope the littlun is good I could hear him in the background :)

Great update thanks Chris 👍

Test drove a TR 7 when they first came out and the brakes were scary bad. Dealer said they just needed adjustments but they clearly were a problem. Did not buy the car.

Nice video, superb job on the LT77 gearbox. I had to do my remote bushes (8 off) last year, due to them perishing!

Dolomite 8mins into video

Do you still plan on getting this TR8 to the NEC show Chris? Axle looks great all painted up and shiny new
