Wow, that GT6 Mk 3 was in exceptional condition before restoration, & such a great colour! The end result of all your work has resulted in a stunning car, which should hopefully give you many years of happy motoring👍👍
Good afternoon, really impressive restoration work. I do like your rotisserie. Very well engineered and useful adjustment ro center the coach for easy hand rotation. Again very clever and creative. Thank you for the video, you take care and good luck with your projects.
Peter, I'm so excited to see you back on TH-cam! It's good to see a proper tradesmen passing on knowledge. When you have time - please post videos of replacement of the floor boards of a Gt6👍 I'm working on a 69 that is a complete mess. All other videos I've watched about floor pan replacement ate junk.
What a great job! I was very surprised that the car overall was in not too bad a condition considering how bad the sills were. Usually with sills that bad you’d expect rust damage on the frame as well. Even the bottom of the doors were good. The owner will have years of fun with this car.
The floor and frame had lots of under-seal on them. The sills had no protection whatsoever, and they rot from the inside out. Thank you for watching and commenting Hope you enjoyed it.
Wow! What a great condition car. And you have done a fantastic job on it. Personally, I think it would have been nice to have put it back to its original colour with silver wheels, but then again I am old school and prefer original spec cars. I am guessing that the customer was a lot younger than I so on the positive side, it's great to see younger people still enjoying these beautiful classic cars. Kind regards Paul (I hope you make a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back in your workshop soon 🤞)
Yes, the owner was only a sprog "I must admit I preferred the Inca yellow rather than the mimosa yellow. Although I would have left the original wheels if it were my car. I see from your short videos You must be into the Vitesse so click on the link to see my Vitesse I recently restored. th-cam.com/video/z3xKRcxcZV4/w-d-xo.html
@@peterdunne8107 Thank you Peter, I will have a look but I'm building a Special which is a complete re-body exercise and more. I will end up with a replica of a 1955 MGTF for my trouble. I have made quite a few videos showing the challenges I have faced as I am very focused on building a very well engineered and close replica. I have subscribed to your channel and I have seen some of your other videos in the past. I watch a lot of TH-cam videos which are far more interesting than regular TV. Kind regards Paul
Hi Peter, stunning, amazed again by your work, looks like a reborn baby...easy work on sills and floors, are you kidding? Thanks for showing, I prefer personally a more detailed workvideo, but hey you make us happy!
Excellent work as always. Looking forward to a video series on that Red Mk2, boy is that lower half rusty! Looks like it will take some heroic repairs, I'm sure it"ll be easy for you though.
It might be quite some time before I get round to the red one, the owner put a stop on it so I could do this yellow GT6 MK 3 and now he has a Vitesse MK 2 convertible which he also wants before the red MK 2 GT6.
@@peterdunne8107 Sounds like he's got a nice fleet of cars. Have you had any time/luck redoing the audio of the old blue GT6 videos and reuploading them?
I'm working on it now I will be off work shortly for a couple of months, so I should have more time hopefully they should be all done by Christmas. I am also getting fibre broadband so I can upload them quicker.
As expected , fabulous work Peter . I noticed a new rear quarter , did you fit it or repair the exsisting panel ? I would have sworn it was originally Mimosa . I know it's each to his own but those Cosmics .....oh dear ! And no problem painting in a residential area and no problem well exceeding the speed limit ? Sorry Peter , l have a habit of speaking my mind ......sometimes l know l should keep my opinions to myself. Your passion and knowledge for the Triumph marque is humbling and probably without equal . I hope the financial benifits are reflected by being so skilled in the marque .......says l who always ends up giving champagne for beer money ! Thanks Peter .
@@peterdunne8107 I've always loved Triumph cars. I've owned a '66 and a '77 Spitfire as well as a '77 TR6 but a GT6 has evaded me. I recently found a '68 project that is fairly priced. It's painted in the Group 44 scheme but was originally red. It's missing a few pieces but overall complete. I'm struggling for space now but I hate to let it slip by.
HI Peter! So glad to see videos being posted again brilliant. May I ask 2 questions please Question 1 I made two trestles' similar to yours. I wish to make a rotisserie could you tell me the lengths the 2 x 50mm x 50mm square tubes also the 2 x 45mm x 45mm square tubes should be cut for the 22mm threaded rod to go through to raise and lower it? Secondly concerning painting do you always use etch primer stone chip underneath then finishing, Or do you ever use epoxy primer/sealer?
I didn't take notes of any measurements while I was building it. I just done it all out of my head as I went along. I will put the video up again and take some measurements and let you know in the video.
Lovely car, but I would prefer to see the wheels silver and the back panel painted yellow. Also, using the original air filter housing would enable the original air ducting to be used. But it's very, very nice over all. Well done.
Well done Peter. Lovely to see my Vitesse at 4:50 too.
Thanks, Dave. Nice to hear from you.
Beautifully done. It sounds as exceptional as it looks. Thanks
Many thanks Glad you like it!
Super restoration job. Thanks so much for the great videos.
Thanks for watching Glad you like it.
Fantastic! As usual you did a great job!
Thank you! Cheers! Mr Yakov you do a Fantastic job as well.
Great job fellas love the car cheers from Atlantic Canada👍😎🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks 👍
Lovely job. Especially like the black alloys against the Inca yellow.
Yes all it needed was a few black stripes and it would've looked like a big Wasp
A great restauration.
Thanks Cheers!

Thank you very much! I have a video fabricating the rotisserie will upload it shortly.
Thank you Peter!
No problem, it may be some time I will be going into hospital very shortly and I won't be around for possibly a couple of months
Nice work !
Thank you! Cheers!

That's really nice, but understand its a personal choice with the wheels
As was the colour change inside and out, what the owner wants the owner gets
Bravo Mr. Dunne

The new rear quarter was for a Spitfire therefore no fuel tank hole in it for the GT6. And it's just like you said champagne for beer money.
Beautiful !
When can I get delivery ? Lol
Bravo
Well done.
How many would you like Ha Ha
Beautiful car.

Are you looking for somebody to buy it?
@@peterdunne8107 Actually I'm wrestling with buying it. I've got two big projects now and a driving project I'm still tinkering with.

Looks and sounds fantastic! What paint system did you use? It has a nice vintage look to it (not overly glossy, as some of the two stage jobs look.)
I used 2K gloss flattened with 1000 and 2000 wet and dry and buffed up with farecla G3 then farecla G10
Hello, can you share any information on the motor specs and brand of exhaust? Sounds fantastic!
I need to know because this video caused me to go out and buy a GT6 MK2! So thanks!
All We did was fit a high lift cam in the engine and fitted a Standard sports exhaust from James Paddock's
Lovely car, but I would prefer to see the wheels silver and the back panel painted yellow. Also, using the original air filter housing would enable the original air ducting to be used. But it's very, very nice over all. Well done.
Fair enough! I just do what the owner prefers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
