Very impressive improvement ! It looks like this project will gain some real momentum now, as you’ve said a lot of the prep work has been done and you now have an ideal painting workshop…. plus Elin’s facilities to tackle the engine and transmission for the final pieces of the puzzle….
Good morning David, I’ve watched you reset a few doors now and must compliment you on how you handle the “3D conundrum” so very well. (I also like the new old rims you have put on the car so I hope you keep them on there). Blessings from the U.K. 🙏🇬🇧
Wow those wheels really stood out to me....makes the car look sexy. You are moving along pretty rapidly. I know gaps can be really fiddley and takes patience and time to get them right. Good job and really looking good.
An idea for the future. Take something a couple of inches wide and hold it with one side where you want the edge to be and scribe a mark on the other side of the spacer (before you take the door off) then after welding the wire on, use the spacer as a guide to grind it down. In boat building this concept is called a ticking stick.
Just saying when back in the day we used wire coat hangers for welding rod,was tad smaller then a rod you were using.at the time worked out for what we needed,impressive work as always.good video 😎😎😎👍👍👍
The TR250 turned out epic but started from so far back that the project took a long time. I think I'm going to prefer the faster progress for this TR3 even if it doesn't reach TR250 epic-ness.. In every episode you make a major step forward. It seems like you'll finish the metalwork in January, and be in a position have it on the road in '25.
Do I get to pick the color ? What is the estimated delivery date ? The music is great along with the fast segments, sure beats grinding sounds lol. Zoom zoom 😂 looking great.
@@peteredwards9147 the doors were not original to the car. I do have the originals and they did not fit any better unfortunately and were in worse shape.
Did you add to the door and not the fender for any particular reason. I love the finish product so far. Just trying to understand the total thought process. Thanks
@@paulresca6681 it had to do with the top and bottom lines of the fender. If I’d added to the bottom of the fender, it would have thrown off the gap line that’s in the sill. At the top, if I’d added weld to fender it would have brought the fender outside of the body tub alignment.
David, At exactly 11 minutes 41 seconds you said nothing foreboding. My wife started laughing hysterically and still is because she said to you it’s not for boating. It’s a car!

Excellent video on how to fix door gaps. I like the time lapse repair sequences.
The early stages of body work like this is really satisfying, big improvements, well done 👏
Solid progress this week! What a change that door stick out fix makes. Nice job.
Great information. Very helpful. And nice work too.

Looking Great Tush, you are really cooking along on this one!
really nice work! Fun to watch.
Great job David!👍
Excellent dude doors are great now

Outstanding... you are so efficient... been there done that so many times... learned a lot with this episode!
Thanks Mike!
Nice job David those gaps have never looked better.
Great work, Tush.
Great job the gaps look great.Also the music reminds me of Charlie Brown and the Peanuts. The wheels are really cool.
@@frankmgallo thanks Frank. These wheels came on my 1960 TR3A that was vintage raced for many years.
Brilliant fix on the door stick out! Mine has been bugging me for years.
Looking great David!! In the past many years ago I used tig welding rod to fill in gaps and this video brought back memory's.
I agree. Looking good. Really enjoying this series. Keep the camera rolling, please!
@@indyme2 hopefully some good motivation 😉

@@projectpacer the wheels are from a Reliant Scimitar apparently. I think they are referred to as Princess Anne Alloys.
Nice work. She’s going to be a beauty!

@@DwightErwin-x7i thanks for the tip Dwight.
Good work as usual. Thanks Chef. 😊
Better than factory. Love it so far.
@@rolandferri911 Thanks for watching and commenting!

Looks great, watch your rug when welding. Things smolder sight unseen.
Yes, I mentioned in a previous video that’s it’s not a great idea! Thanks for the reminder.

Do I get to pick the color ?
What is the estimated delivery date ?

I’d be interested to hear what colour you’d paint it Rick? Red interior as you probably know.
You have done a nice job on those gaps. I'd be worried they would be to small once you have primer paint and clear on the whole car.
Hi Barry, I had that in mind when creating them. Definitely don’t want to make them too small….
Looks good, were the doors original to the car?

@@coffeehigh9611 tell your wife by the end of this project, I’ll be under water 😉
