    What a great job Bob! Another Triumph..... I find that if you put a tiny piece of grease on the end of your screwdriver, then you can put the screw onto the screwdriver & it should stay in place while you offer it up to the actual screw hole..

    I certainly am a subscriber, from the Isle of Harris. Myself and my 8 year old son like to watch your vids, we are building up a wee fleet of cars to restore/customise. Just moved house with a nice garage, so making it into a work shop. Thanks for the inspiration and keep up the good work.

Itll keep us busy in the winter up here through the holidays and keep the wee mans creative head occupied. We'll post our first attempt. Take care 👍

    Remember to use a fan with a brushles motor in your spray booth as fumes are flamable

    • @BobWilliscorgi
      @BobWilliscorgi  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Scale Street Garage Hi mate, not sure if the fan I got coming is brushless? It’s a bathroom extraction one but will be fitted to the side of the booth with a gauze filter over it anyway, the spray won’t be going directly into it. It says it’s an industrial extraction fan, I’m afraid I don’t know much about these things but it will be fitted as safely as possible. 😉

    the model is modelled on a very early 948 model signified by the chrome handle in the middle of the bonnet the early cars were very different to the main production years as body panels were altered , trim was altered , seats , engines etc etc etc essentially the first cars although they looked similar to later cars were completely re designed

    Hi Bob brilliant work love to watch but can you help me by telling me how you get the glazing out if it's riveted like dinky who used dome rivets

    • @BobWilliscorgi
      @BobWilliscorgi  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dave Wstson Hi mate, simply make a start for the drill bit at the top of the dome by using one of those small metal engraving tools that you get with a multi-tool set, then once you’ve got a small dimple created big enough just drill off the part of the rivet holding the plastic screen with a bit larger than the rivet head very carefully without going too deep otherwise you might go through the roof! 😳 Just take your time until the plastic glass will clear enough to pop out.👍
