Nice one. I’m just replacing the rear shocks on my 1972 MK1 3.0 GT Capri. Last year I replaced the old rusty smiths heater box with a Mk3 Capri heater with new matrix etc. my bodywork is sound as it lived in South Africa for 50 years.
Nice the SA cars can be really good condition 👌 I had the choice to buy an SA escort or a UK one I chose the UK one big mistake on my part 😅
Mr Lee you have done a wonderful job so far it'll be beautiful wen it's done keep up the awesome work my friend 😊
Thanks pal yes only a little more to go now 😁
@@RetroCarsReborn it looks like it's really coming on well 👍
Woo! Delighted to see you back on this
Thanks the next video it taking some time to finish 😅
Anything works gonna happen if you go to shows and show it let’s it’s not gonna be concourse is it gonna be concourse? 😅😅😅😅😅
I doubt it will ever be concourse I just wanted this bit it look right 👍
Looking Good Lee!!! On shaping the little panel with the down turned lip. Chuck a piece of flat bar in the vice probably 13mm by 50mm or so. Mark your line and start to hammer down the lip over the edge a little at a time. Then refine the shape of the lip against the face of the steel plate. This will help to shrink the metal into itself. That is a weird reverse curve, so it is tough to make. Also, on the plug welds I'm thinking if you turn the heat up and the wire down. start in the middle and work outward the plug welds will almost lay flat and look like spot welds. There is a slight technique to it. You may want to do some practice runs to get it down. Like I said last time, Good to have you back!!!!! Looking forward to the next update!!!!
Thank you yeah iv got some more playing around to do when it comes to making shapes
@@RetroCarsReborn It is very Definitely a fun learning curve. I need to bend up some panels, but I have a ton going on still and it is going to be close to 100F (37C) this week. I'm not looking forward to it.
