    Great job, I share your enthusiasm. Really practical restoration and your skills are admirable. Well done!

      Thanks Richard. It is my first restoration, but I learn on the way :)

    Looking very smart with the trim on. Well done. I just love these thorough type of restoration. Looking forward to the next part and the finish to see you on the road in it. Thanks for the vids. What I like is you have hardly had any help with the restoration. Most done by yourself. That itself deserve lots of respect to you.

      Thank you! Yeah, my initial idea was one man, low cost restoration. Of course I wasn't planning to have a show car at the end. I wanted to refurbish and reuse as many parts as possible and for the body (don't tell nobody) I was planning to wrap it in vinyl :) But once I saw the engine on the frame I realized it would be a shame not to do a good job with the body. I was lucky I met Carlos and he did a great job with it. But the rest, yeah, I did everything alone. I haven't got the chance to process more videos, but I had a lot done with the interior since the last one. I am just pushing hard to finish, because I am leaving for a month and once I come back I will participate a show with the car, so I don't have too much time before my vacation. But once I leave I hope I will have time to edit a couple of videos.

      Thanks! Actually all the stages were real fun, but when they were taking too long they started getting bored.

    I just watched all the videos over the last 2 days. Fantastic work, that you are doing here. I am feeling really inspired to take on a project myself after watching. Looking forward to the next video! All the best! Peter

    Elin. You are being very thorough as usual and i know that by the end of this project you will be the master of this car. Its great to see you are nearing the end. You could wear a tuxedo while putting on the trim. Bravo brother!!

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks brother, but the end still looks too far away. So many details.... There is a British car day here near Toronto on September 18th and I want to be ready for it, but I will be in Europe for a month soon so I do not have too much time. I am going to have to skip some steps for the event. Maybe the trunk will remain incomplete and probably no bumpers for the show, but at least the rest will have to be perfect. So I am running like crazy now and actually I have many other details ready now, but I have no time to edit the footage. Anyways I will have what to post during my vacation :)

    Absolutely fantastic, like always :-) I'm going to stick with walnut for the dash, but your red vinyl looks good. Really hope you're pleased. Nearly there :-)

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I am not a fan of wood dashes or wheels... I like soft materials.

    Nice job wish you were working on my TR3B

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! Well, where is your TR3B? We can arrange something :) We are restoring a TR6 in our shop too (it always gets pushed to the side, but slowly slowly we are making some progress) and right now we are rebuilding the engine of a TR4. So we can find a space for a TR3B too.

  • @johno4377

    I cannot find any information anywhere about the vinyl that goes on the inside of the windscreen. It doesn't even seem to have a part number? I can't find replacements anywhere, I guess you just have to cut your own out now if restoring one of these cars!

    • @johno4377
      @johno4377 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      For a MK4 I should add

    Excellent job Elin! Did you use marine grade vinyl? What type of glue did you use?

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I used regular vinyl and trim glue that we use when building limousines. I don't know the specifications and I am away right now, so I can't check, but as far as I know it is water based glue. I will be back in two weeks and I can check for you.

    • @motoringon

      Thanks! I'm looking to change my MGB'70 interior and this will be most helpful.

  • @JolarkC10

    I have watched all of the 1966 project. I have really enjoyed the series, Thank You for taking the time to document the process. I just purchased a 71 Spitfire and plan to redo the interior this winter. What kind of glue were you spraying out of the gun. I would like to experiment with that process. I have used spray cans before and it works OK, but would like to try something else.

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is called Helmiprene 4510. It is a product of a local manufacturer - Helmitin Inc. I'm not sure if you can find it internationally, but for sure you can find a similar trim glue. If you are happy with the spray can one - this one is 10 times better. Good luck with your 71! I am on the edge to buy a 68 MK3 for a full restoration again, but don't tell anybody :)

    Hi Elin, as usual, awesome work! you have me freakin excited to do the interior! How thick of the leather vinyl should one use? What kind of grit do you prefer using when you were sanding down the rust off of parts? Thanks!

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The vinyl I buy all comes in the same thickness (or weight I believe). I am guessing it is standard for all. The grit can be anywhere between 80 and 200 I think. Depends on the parts, but mostly I prefer to use a wire wheel where possible. It is much faster (and dustier) LOL

    Hey man! Great job with the restoration! Where did you get all the chrome parts and interiors? Is there a website you recommend for buyers in the USA?

  • @DavidPlass
    @DavidPlass 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, you got a lot done since last time! Did you consider blasting the header box?

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, I don't get that. Do you mean the heater box?

    • @DavidPlass
      @DavidPlass 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, yes, heater. Not sure why I wrote "header".

    • @RustyBeauties
      @RustyBeauties  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha, that's what I thought. Well it wasn't that hard to sand it and I didn't want to run the sandblaster for just this part. It is very dusty and I prefer not to use it if I can avoid it.
