Churchill is going to look just stunning! It seems as though every project gives RP the chance to set a whole new level of engineering and design. I can't express enough just how much vicarious satisfaction I get from my Monday morning (Australia time) fix of RetroPower. Thank you.
The changes around the doors of wasabi just blow my mind, all door seals with wind and higher or lower pressure not to make noise or worse leak water into the car seems some major brain gymnastics to figure out, amazing Bobby work !!!
Also Churchill and Utah still are truely the top Retropower Cars in my eyes, absolutely lovely designs and looks. I wouldn’t be sure which engine choice I would want to go for ( Jag vs the modernization by Toyota…. ) but the outer shape is just amazing amazing amazing…
Stunning got to say it just stunning the render of project wasabi really sexy , a real 007 car . who could fail to be impressed. If that car had gone into production back in the 90's Saab would have still been with us. you lot can rightly feel chuffed with yourselves I will say it again stunning.
excellent work, as always. i have a question about the Wasabi door seal, if the seal is on the outer face of the sill, will that block the drain holes in the bottom of the doors for leakage down the side of the window?
With the filler on the E type being in the centre of the car, will there not be an issue of dragging the (inevitably) shitty petrol station fuel pump hose across the paintwork, damaging the paint?
@@andymadmac no car tested at IVA is crash tested, nor even fully assessed for crashworthiness beyond a basic visual assessment for sound engineering practice
Never heard of pukka pies, but I have eaten my fair share of Fray Bentos over the years... Yep, there's enough poms here in Australia our supermarkets carry them. (it also helps that my parents are poms)
Nat, the panel around the bootlid on the E type? We called it the catwalk. Or at least every time I referred to it as a catwalk everyone knew what I meant, but my Dad told me that it was a catwalk, and he's a bloody comedian. Although the guy ar Henleys might have called it that too.
(Allegro) Q: Why did you have to make additional spacer plates for the vacuum take-off on those throttle bodies, (rather than tapping the vacuum nozzles directly into the throttle body throats, keeping it simpler and more compact?) 🤔
Jenson colour? Deep metallic meta flake gold, so deep if you were to drop an imaginary pebble in to it would cause ripples like in a lake..White is nice too of course 😁
Original jensen blue with a flake in also the cossie front drivers wing boot all look another shade looks like today's cars n they say that's down to plastics just not good enuff for a cossie finish I reckon from what we seen
28:41 you guys seem to have a problem with using wood. If you want someone local try Dan Lee Boatbuilding. He is quite happy using CAD and could add depth to your interiors.
interesting! We weren't trying to be unique really (though I doubt the exact components for the rolling chassis will have been widely used on an Aston before) but I would be interested to see another with the same engine, is there any information online?
Still loving the content guys, but have to ask, why sooo many ads now? Never had this many before, and it's very distracting. I get that you have/need them but now it's getting silly. Otherwise, keep up the impressive work lads.
Just wondering how you maintain humidity in the Churchill cigar compartment. Modern air-conditioned car interiors with low humidity aren't going to be kind to cigars.
Luke. "Heres one we prepared earlier" Thats some BBC level shit there brother. A word of advice, Dont try using double sided sticky tape for speed. It plays havoc on the nostrils.
Flaky gun metal gray or something equally boring for the Jensen. For the E-Type, even though the car will spend the rest of it's existence in a nitrogen filled balloon, the booth frame and filler recess are going to rust. Yes there were drain holes, both in the frame and in the recess, but these are insufficient in keeping the rot away. The same reason rots V.A.Gs. The design creates spots and areas where condensed water can puddle up and vaporize slowly. This creates a layer of rust as it happens and rust being porous, the next round gathers more water which then creates more rust. All this needs to happen is 15 degree change in overall temperature, a 5 degree difference between parts. A coating, sacrificial or sealing, can slow the visual appearance of the oxidation process a bit, but proper ventilation is still the only actually working method for rot proofing.
That fuel filler in the middle of the rear panel on the E Type is a bad design, the paint will get severely scratched when filling up and dragging a dirty fuel hose across the rear wings. Mark we all know the Jensen will be Metallic Shocking Pink 🤣🤣🤣 OK I know I have mentioned this before, and I will say most men and some women enjoy a nice cigar, but NEVER smoke one in such a beautiful car as a MKII Coupe (Kooo Pay), I assume it is a humidor that they are kept in ?
You can hold the hose with two hands and not drag it across the paint work if you choose, also cars like that are not daily run abouts, so it's not like it's going to be getting filled every other day. What a stupid comment
@@forsh3546 unfortunately if they have the money to pay for this type of project they often do not have the brains to realize what happens when filling up the car, better to avoid it in the first place.
Good Man , Mark , keep it up !!
Keep her lit lads. Marks the man ✊🏻👌
@@oisinkenny4201 🙏
Bobby's a talented fella 😊
You’re not kidding !! They must be very happy to have him on board - great breadth and depth of skills there … 🙌
The Saab and E Type are just off the scale in their ambition. Can’t wait to see them both in paint and being built up

Love Mark and his banter 😂
That view/render of Wasaabi at 4:50 👌🏼

I love all the creative names for the CAD-hedral....
Not much left of the Aston! Half Assed-ton? Wasabi is the purest form of engineering I've seen from you lads so far. Amazing stuff!
It's an Astrolet really. But to be fair, the Aston it was made out of was a bit of a wreck.
Keep up the good work Mark. Ignore the comments.
Another great episode, Thanks to you all.
A great colour for the Jensen would be silver.
"Shrinking a 4mm gap down to about an 1/8 of an inch". Sounds like measuring system that us of a certain in Australia use! 😂
Lovely looking piece of fabrication Nat, Project Churchill looks even more awesome the more we see it what an amazing looking machine.
Wow, Churchil interior .. that whole car is just going to be majestic !
Great episode. Cheers !
Also Churchill and Utah still are truely the top Retropower Cars in my eyes, absolutely lovely designs and looks. I wouldn’t be sure which engine choice I would want to go for ( Jag vs the modernization by Toyota…. ) but the outer shape is just amazing amazing amazing…
Simply amazing work!
Churchill is going to be amazing!
The custom steering arm is totally next level!
Amazing content as usual 👌
Looking forward to seeing the finished E-Type
Stunning got to say it just stunning the render of project wasabi really sexy , a real 007 car . who could fail to be impressed. If that car had gone into production back in the 90's Saab would have still been with us. you lot can rightly feel chuffed with yourselves I will say it again stunning.
Agreed!
The Alegro's and Wasabi are my favourite of your builds so far, just fantastic looks and crazy crazy thinking
Jamie any progress on doing a thumbnail of all the car builds for a quick reference when they talk about old builds .
Kit from down under
CAD... ' cardboard aided design...' Awesome work!
On the E type why not use a spring cap like the cobras use. Great work on all your cars.
Impression of Bobby is spot on 😂
“I make tool”
That needs to be a tshirt. Bobby’s face + “I make tool”
Burgundy or some shade of dark red metallic for the Jenson would be my guess. It’s going to be lovely.
Jenson colour, dark metallic green
I reckon, for the jensen, British Racing Green.
Jensen - Yellow 😊
Thinking about the XJC, my Volvo C30 has a dash mounted ignition switch and I think a solenoid actuated steering lock
my guess for the jenson colour is that lovely bright vermilion green on the bmw range
excellent work, as always. i have a question about the Wasabi door seal, if the seal is on the outer face of the sill, will that block the drain holes in the bottom of the doors for leakage down the side of the window?
30:00 what is that gorgeous colour on Project Churchill?
Don’t get why you guys don’t have 100k subs, let alone 500k subs
Hell, bad Chad has 350k and he’s the ultimate hacker!
Let do this!
With the filler on the E type being in the centre of the car, will there not be an issue of dragging the (inevitably) shitty petrol station fuel pump hose across the paintwork, damaging the paint?
Quite probably. Sadly.
Same as when the free pump is on the wrong side - just hold it away as usual!
Beware the mondeo racks, they’re Known for internal failure which also kills the pump. A return line filter would be a good idea.
Hey Mark, I think the Jensen might be silver, or light blue ??
24.52 Kermit green ✅
I'm thinking some dark color for the Jensen so I'll say a shade of blue.
God, I'm SO fed up of sponsored product placement on my favourite channels....now it's bloody Buxton Spring water! 😂😂😂
Did you miss the "Fray Bentos Pies"?
Jensen colour: Gunmetal 🚘
Color for the Jensen? Candy Apple Red :-)
Jenson deep purple with orange interior. ❤
Don't give them ideas! I'm still reeling from the colour choice for the Minor.
@ l mean a very deep purple. Almost black not metallic though or rolls Royce Rothmans blue navy
Jenson, gonna be purple
Please not.
The car that you swap the chassis on like the Saab, Alegro do you have to get a IVA test on cars once they are finished
Pretty sure if you go by the original points system. Any car that has different wheels, coil overs and an exhaust would technically have needed an sva
Yes Kevin your right, that's why I was asking.
Who is the insurance company covering these cars as they have not been tested in a crash ?
@@andymadmac no car tested at IVA is crash tested, nor even fully assessed for crashworthiness beyond a basic visual assessment for sound engineering practice
Jensen colour - metallic burgundy or bronze ?
Jenson - BRG
have i missed it, what wheels are going on Churchill?
Eager to learn too. Period Dunlop style for me 👍
A deep dark pearl blue for the Jensen or the Gunmetal it was in.
What about Richard? And the den?
If i win the lottery i want you to build me a citreon DS as i think one would look stunning with your touches to it.
Jenson in dark metallic grey….??
More XJC!! Gives me ideas about my coupe.
Wouldn't the filler cap on the E-type look better with the Jaguar crest on it?
Gold Jenson
Never heard of pukka pies, but I have eaten my fair share of Fray Bentos over the years... Yep, there's enough poms here in Australia our supermarkets carry them. (it also helps that my parents are poms)
Brilliant use of 3d printer on wasabi to visualise the future shape
Nat, the panel around the bootlid on the E type? We called it the catwalk. Or at least every time I referred to it as a catwalk everyone knew what I meant, but my Dad told me that it was a catwalk, and he's a bloody comedian. Although the guy ar Henleys might have called it that too.
Jensen will be ice blue metallic and if it is not I'll be down to have a word ;)
Jensen- Steel blue?
I can’t remember if I missed it in a previous episode but, are you going to the ZF rack in the XJ-C? If so, it works well with the whole XJ40 column.
A slightly raised edge around the e-type filler cap would have been nice. Otherwise exemplary work.
jensen baby blue
are those the final alloys on Churchill ?
No, although I keep looking at them and thinking they look quite cool haha
@@retropowercarsI keep hoping that one Jag customer WILL use those wheels....they look SO good.
@ - I think you can do better tbh…
@@retropowercars Speaking of cool - they should at least keep them as a winter set!
Jensen, Royal Blue
(Allegro) Q: Why did you have to make additional spacer plates for the vacuum take-off on those throttle bodies, (rather than tapping the vacuum nozzles directly into the throttle body throats, keeping it simpler and more compact?) 🤔
The alegro dash looks like a 70 wall unit
Yay!
Jenson colour? Deep metallic meta flake gold, so deep if you were to drop an imaginary pebble in to it would cause ripples like in a lake..White is nice too of course 😁
Jenson lime green pearl
Here we are..
CAL... ya 1210s are still callin ! 👂👂👂😂
Jenson...light blue metallic....
jensen.... gotta be sky blue.... do i win anything?
Jensen colour.. BMW Sunset Orange..
Project Churchill is crying out for period Dunlop alloy wheels as per the D-type 👌
Original jensen blue with a flake in also the cossie front drivers wing boot all look another shade looks like today's cars n they say that's down to plastics just not good enuff for a cossie finish I reckon from what we seen
It’s just all the different lights bouncing off it
Jensen=Royal Blue Met

219 🎉
The DBS with LT conversion has been done before..
interesting! We weren't trying to be unique really (though I doubt the exact components for the rolling chassis will have been widely used on an Aston before) but I would be interested to see another with the same engine, is there any information online?
@RetropowerNat apologies just had another look and it was a Aston Martin Vantage with a LT conversion..
Jensen. 1970’s. Brown or Orange…… 🤔
Jenson- pistachio.
Jenson gonna be maroon red classic colour for classic car 🤔
That Sierra paint look strange on video.... The blue really shows through, more than any other paint I've seen on TH-cam.!!!
Details , Details
Jensen should be orange
could of at least put a ford crate motor in the aston then it would have been a quad cam?
Churchill needs a racing Stripe.......🤔🤨

Pea green 😂😂😂
That Aston frame looks so somewhat flimsy🤔

Can't believe I'm glued to a rebuild of an All-Aggro, and being addicted to it, having once owned one. It was a terrible car.

@@superchickensoup moronic reply you obviously have no clue about people
As long as the owner isn't lazy or stupid there won't be a problem with the fuel filler - same goes for the 400x Singer 964's with centre filler
I think if you’ve just paid zillions for this thing you’ll take care filling up…..
