Absolutely awesome. Wouldnt have thought the TR7 would look that great
Many thanks, neither did I ! 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Great job sir...you just triumphed over the Triumph
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Absolute masterpiece Chris - the attention to detail is just ridiculous and I loved the Castrol variant! Great to see you back - I could watch these vlogs every day!👍👍👍👍
Thanks as always Mike.... playing catch up on here yet again 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Stunning detailed pair of Triumph TR7s SK , outstanding 👏👌
I know Triumph is very famous for their motorcycles. I didn't know they made cars until a few years ago.
Excellent detail on the interior. I prefer the Castrol version. Great job on both
Thanks as always 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Just a quick note to say Thank You for your videos!
Thank you very much for watching David, it's appreciated
Love old classic cars . A friend of mine had a tr8 he got from America and it was a beast . 3.5ltr v6 fast as hell .
I can see why Corgi opted for a plastic base.. To keep it from rusting unlike the real thing.
Great little model again! love the work on the pop-up headlights and spotlights, adds a lot to the rally look of the car!
Haha, you're right LOL..... Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Lovely craftsmanship. Your videos are so inspiring.
I appreciate that thank you🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
I love your video, the process the explanation n story, moreover the result...I enjoy the meticulous process
Thank you very much.... appreciated 🚙🚗👍🏻
Great work👍
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Good to see you back. Nice wedge of cheese resto
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Great result as ever and a bonus car like this one is even better.
The TR7 or 8 with its quirky looks grows on me. I'm not sure it grows that mutch, that I ever want one.
Thank you, I'm with you also, don't think I'd ever have one 🤣🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Trimph looks amazing
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Nice restoration and paint job 👍👍
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
SidewaysKing75, I've been doing customs myself for about nine years, and have looked at various videos / seen various presentations, and I must congratulate you on your exceptional work that is probably the best I have seen. I have always loved the Triumph TR7, and though Corgi did a fantastic job as usual, but it was obviously designed as a toy but as you demonstrate, has HUGE potential!. I wish Corgi went slightly smaller with the scale to make it closer to 1/64, but the design was perfect. It's always begged for the custom look (Minilites and a neon "safety color" paint job come to mind immediately). Thanks for this presentation.
Im always happy to see a Sideways king video on my feed :)
Thank you for that 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Awesome build mate . The only good things about the TR7 was the V8 engine and the legendary Tony Pond driving it flat out in a rally . Memories of my childhood, nice one 👍
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Best Custom ive seen from any of the channels
That's very kind, thank you so much 🙏🏻🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Really nice job - such fine details. There's a red TR7 rally at the British Motor Museum. Well worth a visit.
The Castrol version reminds me of the Stratos with those colours.
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 you're welcome! Looking forward to the next one.
Great build, liked your scratch building. Mick Thailand
Thank you Mick 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
This is unreal. What a resto-mod this is. Love it. Also like the Castrol variant, though slightly jarring in my eyes in that it’s a bit too close to the Alitalia Stratos.
Absolutely loving these though 👏🏻👏🏻
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Hi it's been a while but worth the wait, nice and simple but very effective, hopefully another video in the near future, keep up the excellent work, Rich
Many thanks as always Rich🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Outstanding job mate, it's always enjoyable to see a toy car turn into a small piece of motorsport history :D
By the way, people really like the decals on my cars. Since those compliments belong to you, i hereby pass them on ;-)
Many thanks as always🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Welcome back CD! Especially like the "Castrol" version surprise at the end.
Many thanks Peter.... better late than never 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
I love TR7's and loved what you did to both of them, I preferred the Castrol livery, ironic I just orderd the same car of eBay before watching this and was going to do a racing green 1970s version now I want to do a rally, great video and thanks for posting the links to help others
Many thanks its appreciated 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Great restomod! Pop up headlights haven't been on cars since pedestrian safety laws were brought in as they are quite dangerous.
That's a beautiful build brother!
Thank you very much my friend 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 your welcome brother
I had the larger one these as a child, and re-painted it to look like the rally versions. They were designed Terence Mann, and my brother had a black one with the gold sonic alloys that were crumbling. The headlamp motors only ever lasted a few months, he soon got good at reguild, frankensteining different motors together. And if I can remember they were a heavily modified wiper motor, a bit anaemic on the power for raising the lights..
I heard that about the wiper motor for headlights too..... 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Nicely done, Vast improvement on the original format. Looking great in the Diorama's too. Cheer's Tassie John
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Excellent stuff, great details too...
'm thinking of restoring one in bright amber yellow, not only to be Purdey's car from The New Avengers (Joanna Lumley's character) but it can be the "classic" sports car Lance from Detectorists drives.
Well played! Love those two TR7
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Once again excellent work 👍🏻
Absolutely epic bro made a proper job of them
Your too kind Sir 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Love how it turned out.
Incredible job!
Cool build. I was never a fan of the TR7 either but pop up headlights are so cool!
Many thanks there was something about them I simply didn't like🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Excellent work yet again sir, love these.
Many thanks Richard 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Good job Bro! Both rally cars look great. Greetings from Poland. 😁🇵🇱
Thank you very much 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Beautiful work as always mate!
Thank you very much 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Nice job.
Great video and an awesome model as always!
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Spectacular !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Top work as always Chris.
You know my thoughts on the stupid looking wedge. But you've done a great job !
I did always enjoy seeing Tony Pond wrestling cars around, and nice touch on getting Co Driver Freds name on there !
Wedgy..... they were terrbile on the eyes Stuart 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
When the TR7 was first revealed at the Geneva Motorshow in the early 70s, legendary designer Giorgetto Giugiaro (of Bertoni and Ghia fame) approached it and took a long, studious look at the side of it.
He then walked around the other side before apparenlty exclaiming 'My God! They’ve done the same to the other side as well!’
British Leyland design at it's finest.
Hahaha thats great...... 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Beautiful job love both colour schemes but the Castrol does give it an edge imho 👏👏👏👏🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺✌🏻
Thanks again 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Very nice..infact..AWESOME!! Great video gives me a lot of ideas 👍
Appreciated.... thank you 🚙🚗👍🏻
Super cool nicely done.
Many thanks 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Great work once again. I'd been meaning to do a tr7 for a while, and this really makes me want to do it, but wider arches and lowered. I like the Castrol one, it looks right.
Many thanks.... your wide version sounds cool 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Looks great thanks.
Another great video. Makes me want to fix up one of these cars.
Thanks Wes.... I want to get cracking on RCs too..... just bought some new kits to get back into it 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Both of these look fantastic but the Castrol livery really suits the shape of the TR7.👍👌😁
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
This old car but always cool...
Fantastic job, stunning model of the BL wedge, cool video my friend 👍👍
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Outstanding job, love the rally features and details. Always looking to stand them alive again and rescue. Thank you for sharing all your awesome skills....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.
You, do great work mate well done mate
Thank you so much 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
There was a tr7 specialist garage where I used to live a few years ago.. there where loads of the buggers about.. :D
Haha..... Haven't seen one for donkey's years 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
I thought the main build was awesome, then the castrol TR7 rolled onscreen....WOW
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Love your little display piece, and I really love your intro! Simple, yet very effective
Awesome as always, Chris!
Thank you 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Love it great build
Many thanks Greame 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Love it. Missed the videos. As an adult I always look at the tr7 as a terrible attempt at a lotus. As a child it was simple a: No. sadly that was my same opinion on the austin/rover metro
Many thanks.... Agreed on all acounts 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
I had one in high school wish I still had it I live in the USA so it was a left hand steer
Outstanding work again, looks amazing
Many thanks as always🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Buying my Raptor (2021) soon!!! Still waiting on you to make one!!! LOL
Glad to see you back, sir! Another stunning build. Love the popup headlights and the interior details! The seatbelts are too cool!
Bravo!!!!!!
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
two for the price of one WOW
Very nice!!!
the castrol is my fav...
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
another great video!!
Many thanks as always 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Awesome job!
legend !!!
Thank you 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
nice
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Great video as always SK, worth the wait :), in the meantime I have been watching other 1/64 youtubers, but I like about yours is the Barn Find start, commentary including talking how you go about what you do. I had a good look on your site the other day and those garages and extras look great.
I saw a product the other day which I think you might be interested in dabbling in is Vacuum Forming to replace tattered windscreens or even doing a clear bodyshell and paint from the inside? (just an idea :) ) I will PM you regarding a suggestion as well :)
Keep safe
Phil
Many thanks Phil as always.... I was going to look at vac forming after seeing a few videos on here but I just keep cutting the acetate and using that instead LOL! 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
NICE as a rally car
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 Bro... You still sub'd to me? I ain't seen You in my comment sections in a LONG time...
@@2ahdcat that bell, I never rang that bell! Bell is now rung a dung dung 👍
@@SidewaysKing75 Hellz yeah 🙂
Can you do a tutorial on car lifts and dyno stations? That would be cool!
Yes, I have more plans to add to the Styrene Diaries playlist on my channel with items like that 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
If all TR 7s were like those they would would have been a great car. The 80s was an odd era for car design. Kind of squared wedge shaped weren't they.
Yes you're right, they were all kind of sci-fi futuristic technical orientated things and aged massively in a short space of time as a consequence 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Awesome both ,I done this model nut yours is far better mate ,awesome, just subscribed too ,cheers Laz
Thanks Laz 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Nice job SK75 with this TR7 it's really good looking rally car that appears to be tarmac/gravel setup in something coming from modern event don't you agree sk75 but anyway thanks once again for new video my friend so see you later bye now.
Yes I did have the Tarmac spec car in mind for the Castrol version..... Many thanks and hope you are well 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 yes i am fine my friend.
Pop up up and down headlights 🎵🎶🔊 awesome as per usual and if you haven't heard the song that goes to the lyrics at the beginning of this post please for you enjoyment go check it out here on the tubes
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Early because its a nice video
👍 Thx 🇧🇪.
Lovely job! The real vehicle was never one of my favourites. In the late 1970's anything made by British Leyland was seen as a bit of a joke, to be brutally frank. However, like you, the TR7 looks okay until that vertical rear window - it's a design choice akin to putting a brick chimney on a Supermarine Spitfire. Never saw many, to be honest. I did like the yellow one driven by the character Purdey (Joanna Lumley) in 'The New Avengers', a favourite show of mine.
i always thought it was like the old stories of British Leylands cars that were made on a Friday afternoon were thrown together to knock off the shift. I read somewhere a mechanic found a half eaten cornish pasty inside the door card of a Montego following a bad smell the owner had complained about after a few months of ownership! I reckoned this car was designed on a Friday too 11.59am and they needed to complete the design by noon hence that rear window and arseend LOL! Many thanks and hope you are well🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 - Ah, the classic 'Friday Afternoon Special'. Hope you and yours are staying well, too. Cheers! P.S. Any chance of doing a restomod on a Matchbox Cortina Mk.II?
Very good car but BL should put engine in rear
Awesome videos, keep going!
Ps. Can you restore Opel?
Good idea! preferably Manta B!
BTW, if you're interested, ive done quite a bit of Opels
@@boerharms2209 ok
Can you make the opel kadett from the belgian tv series eigen kweek i love the look from the car and i think you would do great greetings from belgium
I've never seen a casting for the Opel but I'll try and have a look 🚙🚗👍🏻
Awesome as always 👌 are you after any particular model you can't get hold?
Many thanks, I think I'm OK...... the only one that has avoided me all these years is the Matchbox Vauxhall Cavalier only because I want to do a BTCC version 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
😂 😂 Did Brexit delay your videos ha ha. Welcome back. Great work
I mean it technically has some blue in it
Excellent work you did with the car...very impressed!...out of curiosity for you're craft and skill...I don't suppose you'd do any commissioning?...like would you modify any 1/64 cars if someone sent them to you/payed you to do so?...(nothing overly complicated of course just something simple) 🙂
Does it say in the states it's the shape of things to come
Nice car. Looking for wed to my order from you getting to me.
Many thanks 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
How Are You my friend? Is already 1 month you are not uploading your new video???
I'm good dear brother and hope you are too..... I have lots of plans and ideas and little time again to make and film so I just sit and look at what could be🚗🚙👍🏻Keep working your magic my friend
@@SidewaysKing75 I’m glad to hear that, take care my friend 👍
You too brother 🚗🚗👍🏻
Are you ok?
Nice job. I agree entirely about the TR7, it really was an ugly little car. I seem to remember in its final days it morphed into a V8 soft top.Was that called TR 8.
Many thanks.... I remember them too, at least cutting the roof off only made it half as ugly as the original🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Just scuttled of and googled ,TR8 it was. Still ugly though.
Haha.... you'll have nightmares now LOL 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
