    The gull wing interior does look suspiciously clean compared to everything else in your workplace. I guess it will help put some patina back in ha ha!

    Great job ! I follow each episodes ! I hope that you will make a list of prices at the end to give us an idea. Donor, Gullwing GRP shell, interior, leather high end works, specific parts, etc... I was thinking around 60K£ ??? I am actually restoring a Triumph TR4 from 1964 and such projects takes time because of rust... I like the idea of taking a good donor in good condition and adapt a superb classic bodywork on, made of fiberglass that will not rust ! How about V5 in England. Does MOT accept such transformation ? What about insurance ? Do you ask for an automotive expertise at the end to have a good insurance cover in case of big damages/fire/theft??? Thanks to share your projects !

    Hi from South Africa , I just discovered your channel and I absolutely love what you are doing, I am binge watching all of your builds. I wonder if you can advise me I work for a volunteer ambulance service and we use a fleet of T6.1 transporters. they came with standard suspension which is sagging a bit and makes the vehicle 6cm too low for our stretchers. I found Seikel “Desert” Suspension lift kit for 4MOTION that seems to be a good option to resolve our problem , however they cant get us stock. do you have any other suggestions I can look at?

      Unfortunately I don’t know the South African stock unfortunately

    Is that steering wheel an original item or aftermarket? Where did you get it from?

      It’s a reproduction, stunning quality from America

    Those roof vents - if you get them recut with louvres you could bend the slats (if you leave very little at the ends to join them you can bend them without distorting anything - and then you won’t be able to see in. I’ll draw you the CNC DXF file if you would like. Also, what’s the story with the bumper then?

    • @AudioFlat
      @AudioFlat 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I haven’t described this very well - what I mean is the vents would still be cut from one piece but in such a way you can twist the inner bits to become angled slats - that will make them vents but ones you can’t see into - perhaps that makes more sense?

    No offense but those speaker covers,are so ugly and they do not contour to the B pillar.what about underside of the car ,are you leaving it as is or planning to paint and detail it,looks terrible in present state. I hope you will be able to get the car done in time, I have my doubts.color of interior is still questionable,to me .just doesn’t match the car.that is my opinion only,but I don’t own the car or have any say in how it looks.just continue on with finishing up the car.👍👍👍😎😎😎
