- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มี.ค. 2023
- Gary fits the Rolls-Royce Corniche with a new exhaust, refits the windscreen and finishes it off by fitting the newly re-chromed bumpers. He then begins the time consuming task of prepping and painting a bonnet for the car. All as part of his continued preparations to take the Rolls, along with the Lotus, to this years Classic Car & Restoration show at the Birmingham NEC.

Brilliant job , I was terrified whe you took sandpaper to that bonnet. Great job😮😊
I have just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Thank you from Scotland 🏴
Bring back the La's!!!
My favourite car TH-cam channel now. ❤
1:14 I wonder if that's new music by Lee...it's a good acoustic guitar sound, regardless.
apparently so.....
One of the many aspects I love about your channel Gary is that you show you don´t need thousands of pounds worth of expensive kit or dedicated sealed off work spaces to achieve truly excellent results.
I can´t help but to cast my mind back to my childhood helping my late uncle in a drafty old wooden double garage restore his old vintage cars late into the night with those old caged hand garage lamps attached to the bonnet to shed light on some usually electrical problem (well, they all had Lucas Electrical systems!) or setting tappets with feeler gauges and such and my reward always was an illegal driving lesson early on a sunday morning in Dawlish Warren car park!
Before legal driving age I had driven quite the assortment, Saabs, Lagonda, Spitfire Renault 4 and 5, MGB GT; Shadow first series in Garnet with dove grey leather and series II in peacock blue with magnolia piped in French Blue. All your videos cast my mind back to the 70´s and early 80´s and those times.
Your channel is a joy to watch, thank you for taking the time to make the videos.
The Rolls looks fantastic. Lovely Job.
Very very nice
Hi Gary, absolutely the right decision on doing the re-chrome, looks great
Keep up the good work 💪☝️
It was great to see the Rolls and the Lotus at the NEC and to get the chance to chat with Gary. I look forward to seeing the Lotus chassis being replaced.
Blimey Gary I got all excited and then you pulled it and then reloaded it you're such a tease😂😂😂
Great to meet you yesterday . The Rolls Royce was even more stunning in person, and the Lotus ❤
The Rolls looks 👌🏻 Cannot wait to see the Lotus and the Porsche finished too. Thanks for sharing what you do.
On a car like this no matter how good the paint is it’s the chrome that makes the car look new or old.
It was good seeing the Elite and the Corniche at the show. Looking forward to seeing more of the cars on the channel.
Great work Gary ,keep it going
Money well spent on the chrome, Gary. Looks fantastic. Thanks for the video
SPIT SHINE!!!!! (Kidding) coming along nicely, boy I can't wait to see what goes on with that 928.
Great to meet you at the show on Friday. Loved your cars and really enjoy the videos.
That chrome is awesome 👍
What a proper fella 😎 Get yourself down to The Warren in Danbury in the summer and I’ll sort a pint out 👍🏻 Thanks for taking the time you’ve put into this.
Awesome episode, quite some hours of sanding and polishing to get that shiny hood!
You had me on the edge of my seat spraying the bonnet. Your overalls were so close to the edge! 😅
Great job , as always Gary. That chrome work has literally transformed the car. The Lotus looks promising too. Good stuff
Brilliant job, thanks for a great channel ❤
Amazing Chrome! Your hood is looking great. Love the Rolls. Also love the "before and after" display on the Lotus at the car show,
Another great watch, thank you 👍
Love this show. Top music too!
Great video Gary. 👍🏻😀
Hey Gary ! Great to meet you yesterday , both George and I enjoyed talking to you and it was wonderful to see both the Rolls and the Lotus in the flesh; The Rolls does really look superb - such a gorgeous looking motor and a real credit to you. Even without the freshly painted bonnet fitted the car looks fantastic! Seeing the car was like seeing an old friend and was a great feeling walking round it and being able to see how good the new chrome looked and how impressive the finish on the hood and lining were. My gran would be proud of your sewing skills 🙂 The Lotus was looking good yesterday and have t say the interior was a lot better than it looked om the video and didn't appear to have suffered much ware considering the mileage either !. Looking forward to seeing the Lotus and the Porsche progressing in the coming months and look forward as usual to the next episode ! what is the XJS upto ? Again great to see you yesterday - Cheers Stew
Truly marvelous production work. Wall to wall love of the craft.
Alright there Gary, sounding a bit rough there mate. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks mate. Regards
Fantastic job.
Fantastic job...
another brilliant job sir
Look forward to these videos.
The episodes are never long enough.....'leave them wanting more'.....😂
Another great job done.
Always amazed with your work
Fantastic, as always. As others have commented, please get busy with the Elite.
Another excellent video Gary, thank you. I know you are not a tutorial channel but it would be nice to have a bit more information about the processes used. For example, what grits you used when prepping the bonnet. Regards.
I promise I will do. Thanks Stew.
@@classic.obsession That's great Gary. Thanks.
Great video Gary
Chrome looks the part
Your car ramps look a bit small for a roller mate , they look like they are groaning
thank you always enjoyable video
The chrome looked fantastic under the unforgiving lights of the NEC.
Glorious ❤
When I did these screens back in the day I always cut out the rubber and fitted a new one.Then the chrome strip didn't distort at all. you then fit the chrome into the new rubber and pull the screen in with the 'old string'.
Hi Dunc, yep that’s basically what I did but unfortunately one of the ends of a chrome strips was slightly bent but once in, I tapped it into place with a hammer carefully and a block of wood. Regards.
Please wear eye protection when working underneath the car
Both cars are turning out great
Spanking Order! Well done
Meny years ago my chrome was dune by two retierd guys in bridge end they only did small items they worked out of a large shed in there garden 30 pluss years later still good you only get what you pay for as my mother use to say
There are still lots of swirl marks on that Lotus, though
Really enjoyable film, thank you. BTW, is the music by your brother?
Hi. Yep..
@@classic.obsession
How’s Lee these days if you don’t mind me asking? Is he keeping well?
We can only pray for Lee, thank him for wonderful music & would love it if Lee was ever to release new music.
Great work on the Rolks and Lotus.
@@classic.obsession Hope Lee knows there's thousands of people all over the world that still love his music and dream about hearing new songs and these little glimpses are absolutely amazing to hear cheers mate
@@AkyovNorthWest more than thousands, man.
hi Gary when doing paintwork on it standox 2k is your only man
That's a trfile annnoying - putting in all that hard graft only for life to get in the way to prevent you fitting the bonnet. Grrrrr. Thanks for sharing.
The bonnet strip is on backwards
A lot of early cars are cellulose. Are there any problems mixing paint types on different panels - like 2pack and cellulose?
Sometimes but if you bar coat the existing or apply 2k primer first this should act as a barrier or seal for the new topcoat. Regards.
@@classic.obsession I was thinking, I need a couple of localised repairs on my car, so just stick to cellulose like the rest of it, then detailing is going to be consistent, rather than painting the whole car
Were the spolights/fog lights only a British item on these cars. I don't remember US models having them? If they did, does anyone know what years they were standard/optional on these Corniches?
Hi Ken, these are (we’re) Lucas, British. Regards.
@@classic.obsession Thanks for taking time to reply Gary. I love your channel and enjoy watching each and every episode. I admire you greatly for all the work you do for the classic car community.😀
🤘😎🤘
Did you paint the underneath of the bonnet before you went to your mate/paint shop?
Hi Daniel. No. The bonnet is black underneath anyway and is covered in the sound/heat proofing panels which I believe to be correct so no need. Regards.
Chicken and a can of Coke in Scouse is so funny.Probably the worst accent are Sarf Africun.
What's the best stuff for black plastics? Even Meguiars is gone after a short while....
Sounds silly John but I’ve always sworn by Armoral tyre foam for tires and I’m sure they do one for interior and exterior plastics in a little bottle. Regards.
@@classic.obsession At the end of the video, the plastic bumper on the Lotus looked good . I wondered if it was something more than Armorall which I must admit I have used before, as well as Simoniz and Meguiars. Although all their effects are generally short lived. I learnt today that " Solution Finish" is a great job, but I never tried it.
@@jonathancarson1974 gently use a heat gun to renovate plastic
Air hose almost touched edge of bonnet during black colour coat....
Doing the screen without removing the dashboard?
I'm impressed as up until now I have only seen this reference and the chap recommends removal of the dash:
th-cam.com/video/EKDuyHHfb9A/w-d-xo.html
Did you however at least loosen and pull the dash away a little to get to the seal to cut it or left it totally alone?
Also, the A-pillar & inside rear-view mirror trim had to be removed I guess? so many questions! 😉
Brilliant video though Gary - your videos give hobby mechanics like myself the confidence to try things - many thanks and keep up the brilliant work!
Hi Fran. No didn’t loosen or remove a thing. Went in no problem. I cut through rubber to remove then did as you’ve seen in the video. All common sense. Just take your time. Regards
Ah, I've just seen, you have the series 1 dash - do you think you'd approach a series 2 dash differently?
@@classic.obsession Hi Gary, have you ever thought of having a patreon channel whereby you go much more in-depth with your videos? That'd be ace and really serve the community!
please use different music....
Are your ears painted on?
I’m not fond of the plinkey-plonk music either. And no……my ears aren’t painted on! Great channel, Gary!
