Hi! 😁

You're quite right, thought I have adressed the issue in the next video...

🤭😉

Thanks! Merry winterisms to you too ☺

Thanks! There's still loads to do, we've just been driving as much as we can and enjoying it! ☺

@@TSATMA Excellent. I’m doing the same with mine 👍

😁"Rolling restoration" 🤭 I hear you bro! 😳

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I had to abandon the series due to lack of time (and skill and cash ;) ) We have driven loads this last summer and Froggie is still on the road, none of the fixes mentioned in the last video have been challenged - I hope to make some more videos again for next season. Once again, thanks for watching!

They're certainly promising! I'm a bit worried that when I pile in all of my crap then the room will be too dead...

@@TSATMA Well, then you could add some hard surface reflectors to the walls to liven things up a bit.

Thanks Mate! :) Glad you appreciate it! Off to check out your podcast (now I've found it :D )

It is, they don't all take that long though 😊

Great reply! Thanks Calvin! That puts my mind at rest a bit as otherwise the motor is running amazingly, L overtook someone doing over 60mph yesterday - it was very noisy and I think I need new underwear... I keep my fingers crossed that you get some runs in before the snow - good luck!

:D Hi Rob! I'd have no problem in converting it to electric, when Both engines that I have are burned out beyond repair ;) Not sure if it's legal here though... The bonnet is the biggest problem, and the only thing I can't really do on my own ;)

Thanks Jago! Glad to know you're there if I need help, even if it's someone to laugh at me! :) Looking awful isn't so much of a problem as it gets driven to hell, left in hotel carparks overnight, and goes shopping - there's a shopping trolley mark in the new paint already ;)

That’s why I’ve left mine shite! I’ve just hauled a load of sprite stuff back from the US for mates here in UK, that’s proper expensive postage without me! I’m on the Facebook if you get stuck, otherwise stay strong!

@@jagohurley1065 Thanks Mate! Are you on the Austin Healey Frog Eye Sprite page on Facebook?

OK ;) I see you are :D

Yup

Hey Calvin! Aye, thanks, yes, weather has been great - the missus is happy she can drive her car again. How's your spitfire going?

@@TSATMA Rebuilding the rear wheel assemblies now, have the diff finished. Weather turning cold here, and rainy. Might get a few 100 miles before the 1st snow.

Wotcha Rob! Nice to hear from you! Hope you're all well out there! Agreed, I should do a shop tour/ garage update :)

Thanks Mate 😊

Thanks Mate! That's the only way unfortunately, for a man of my limited talent and means :)

Hi Dimadee!!! Had a look at your blog again today, I'm impressed to absolute awe with the craftsmanship and quality of your build! Keep 'em coming! :)

I have been a bit distracted over the summer with other projects. I need to get back on the wagon and push forward :-)

@@dimadee Looking forward to seeing you get it done! :)

Hehe! Fanks Rob! You hanging out only on here now?

I haven't been on facebook for months. It makes me feel morally unclean or something.

@@robabernathy4450 Yeah, it does that - I've still hanging on in there, though most of what I post completely alienates me...

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I am happy overall with the Nanoflex, as I said in the video, I did two guitars, and one turned out OK. There were problems with that guitar in the video - I lost footage of the trouble shooting which took over a year and the string imbalance was never fully solved, so the pickup went into another guitar. I would however recommend the quick mount SH NFX AC over the permanent install.

@@TSATMA Thank you, Very useful. I order already one, but it will go straight to the luthier, because of my clumsiness .

Same

Lovell Menezes thanks!!! ♡☆♡

Thanks @dimadee! I'm still looking over you blog for inspiration!

I haven't seen anything from you for a while - how is the Sprite going? Looking forward to an update. :-)

Hehe, it's not that clever when you look close up :D

Thanks for the advice/reply! I was thinking about the circle clamp idea after I saw it in your blog pics - I'll get round to it later. I really should move both the pivot points lower, I'd underestimated the weight imbalance in my attempt to keep it as low to the ground as possible to work on - I am a bit of a short arse y'see :D

Yep. When they were handing out long legs I was holding the door open!

Aye, I will have to get some heating tape in future - haven't really needed it these past years...

Thanks! I've been studying it very closely ;)

That's actually how we (spoiler alert) got round the problem about 10 mins after the video went up! The indicator hole on the left side is just bondo and wishful thinking! Thanks for your input @dimadee, I really appreciate you sharing - it's been a great help already :)

The Slow and the Mildly Agitated... a Bugeye is a journey!

Hi Calvin that it is! Thanks for coming along! I was just watching your last WNMC vid - I'm a bit jealous of the weather you have for February!

The alcohol bit sounds like a GREAT idea :)

Wow that's amazing (I thought I'd commented yesterday, comment must've vanished!) Your project looks amazing - it'll be quite an inspiration to me in the messy times ahead! :)

Thanks for posting the link!

Love it! "Nay Series" Hahaha! I'm stealing that :D

Contrary to the popular engineering parlance, very few of the A series engines I've worked on have ever purred. Most have nervously hobbled around, all too often missing the knackers yard.

;) I did think of that but was worried about the copyright issues! Nice to see you back by the way, or some of you at least - well done on the weight loss, very impressive! I've had a quick peek at a couple of the new vids (I'z struggling to find time for youtube at the mo!), can't wait to see Vincent out and about!

Oops! Clean forgot! Sorry! I'll be needing that guitar for busking in the summer, an it's still not sorted after a year. Will see what I can do...

Haha, yes, good old Tony! It's Norwegian 4Sound, I live in Oslo, :)

Here's the duet I play in with Swedish guitarist Johan Comstedt... ruclips.net/channel/UCW_DRFLbMTXnmwShG8v8exg

Haha, ok, that makes sense, I thought the price was a bit high, prices in Norway are twice as high as in Sweden. But then again, so is the wages.

Nice one! I play classical guitar myself, that's what made me go to your page in the first place (I think it was that vid of you installing the Nanoflex. Which by the way is an atrocious system, I tested one myself and my reaction was the same as yours haha. Went straight back to the shop). Btw, is that an Alhambra your playing? I recognize the black tuners

I've found the nanoflex to be the best undersaddle there is, I've had one in an old yamaha for years, and the cheap yamaha I built up for Johan is really good - the one I did in the video turned out bad as the bottom of the nut slot wasn't perfectly flat - still haven't fixed it... The guitar with the black tuners is made by Norwegian luthier Yngvar Thomassen, Johan's is by the same maker too, we use schertler dyn-g on those ;) I'll check your vids later :)
