    Great to see you both back. Your dad looks well hope you both had some great summer months of sunshine. I was checking every few weeks to see if there was a new episode. Glad to hear the family is in better health. Looking forward to the new series you are producing. I have retired now and got myself a project to fill my days with. Thank you for your wonderful channel and sharing your build with us. Cheers

    It’s lovely seeing you both working together. You will always have these videos to look back on. I was only 29 when I lost my dad but I was so lucky to work closely with him and he was a great teacher. Everything I am today is through his guidance when I was young. Live long and prosper 🙏❤

    The rotisserie was used for dipping the shells in a protective liquid (which didn`t live up to promise) and baking. The shell would come off then for assmbly.

    So good to see you back! And great to see so much of that Mk2 coming in useful!! I’m also glad that the dreaded op has been sorted, it’s only upwards from here, same for your Mum too. Don’t forget that gearbox, and I might still have that rotodip cover panel somewhere, I’ve a funny feeling it had torn at one of the fixing points. Anyway- great to have you back!!

  • @colinwest5294
    @colinwest5294 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yes the holes are for putting poles through the shell so that they could round the car through a shallower tank of phosphate (Parkerise proses) to stop rust. Imagine how they would have rusted without it! The Austin A35 had the same holes and set ups - they were made on the same line at long bridge.

    • @upbuild4397
      @upbuild4397  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s really interesting, thanks for the info. I wasn’t sure of the specifics of why the hole was there, I just knew that it was for the production line. I’ll definitely mention this on the next video on the mini as a few people have commented about why the hole is there.
      Regards
      Mark

    • @colinwest5294
      @colinwest5294 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@upbuild4397 the great thing about those holes is they have standard bolt patterns and are on the centre of mass for both cars. They even used the same carriage jigs to haul them down the lines - different pick ups. I have made replica jigs to move around my workshop

    If you can’t get a cover panel you could use the old panel as it has the curve in the panel the same as the replacement one. Just a suggestion. Btw it’s great to see you both again. Sorry to hear about your health issues - hopefully everyone is better now. Dave. Birmingham
