Hi Ryan we-always look forward to the Sunday video on the LJ 80 she’s really coming together now , glad she’s staying in Original color green suits her well , you’re doing a fine job, can’t wait to see her painted 😀👍
Hi Linda! Thank you all so much! :) we are glad you and enjoying them! She really is getting there! We do loge the original green colour and want to keep it that way :) We are excited to get some colour on her 😀
Excellent work young man. Mind you it's a bit of a rum do when you've got tae do aw that pushin and pullin all on yer tod. Hope there is a nice wee earner in it an am no talkin wages. Later🤣
We live in parallel. :-) Point out to the nice viewers that if you miss masking even one small hole that goes through the panel, the undercoating will blow through it & marr the "front side". So taping every ickle hole on the primed side is super-important. Nothing worse than removing the masking paper & finding there was a sneaky bolt-hole that got missed. :-)
Masking the wings (which I did yesterday, lol) for underseal, you have to be even fussier as there are 101 spots the black can sneak through. I use vaseline for re-assembling the axel stuff - it doesn't muck up the nice shiny paint but still works great. ...which I did on thursday.. :-)
Very good point! and it really is very important to do! As you mention, nothing worse than unmasking and finding runs all down the freshly primed panel! If forgot to mention it in the video. Good point with the Vaseline! didn't think of that :) good luck with the assembly! nice to know I'm not alone on the journey! keep at it James!
Just before you coated the underside of the bonnet you put something on the seam at the back of the bonnet what was that and what was the reason for that? Great job you are doing there.
Thanks so much Eddie. That was Tiger Seal, I put that on the areas we have welded/repaired to keep any moisture out of the weld as sometimes there are pin holes in the welded areas. Just an extra layer or protection :)
It dries to an extremely tough wearing hard finish, the heat from the engine will not be anywhere near hot enough to affect the coating. Good comment though! Thanks!
Glad i found this. I love classic suzuki and watching you guys restore this iconic car with love really gets my freak on. Top job lads 👍.
Glad it gets your freak on Lee :) We are steaming ahead with it now :D hopefully be on the road soon!!!

Raptor liner the best choice. The LJ80 is getting brutal.

Thanks Lee. We are looking forward to getting some paint on it and getting it running :)
Looking good. We'll preserved to hit the trails once again. What will be the final color?
Thank you! And yes we will be testing it once done :) and it will be the original green with white roof perhaps

This old pile of rust and mud is starting to look like a real car. One more reason to be proud.
Thanks Leo! Its definitely transformed from what it did look like!
This just makes me so happy. Thanks Ryan. The music you use as well! - where can I get it please? Massive props from Essex!
Nice job, now paint it in a lovely color.
Original green? :) thanks!

Can't wait to finish it!!

Don't forget to put a lot of graphite grease between leaves!
I actually quite like it in grey
We thought the same :)
Looking good guys 👍
Thanks Richard!!
"The green nugget" 😁
Haha kinda has the same ring to it :D
Is that Raptor liner OK with the heat from the engine?
I was thinking the same thing. I did notice that it was a 2k mix so maybe it dries to a hard finish?

looking the part now.
It really is!!! :D
👍
😊
I would recommend not spraying raptor close to wheels or that red car behind. But I’m sure you know what guys doing. 😅
Those wheels are from our transporter. Also the red car was outside the roller door when spraying
this car will not look good with these bad wheels
You mean because they are still rusty? Or because of the style?
@@yorkshirecarrestoration because they are different🙂
They are original :) We will make them look good though :)
