Yep, looks like a twin su breathing A series to me
Nope, Triumph SC engine. A-series carbs are on the other side.
C'est Peter Parker !!!!!!😂😂😂😂
If it’s a Spitfire I had the same model with the interchangeable ‘GT6’ style bolt on hard top as well as the soft top. I wish I’d kept it. It ended up in America painted ‘Candy Apple Red’ as opposed to my more demure ‘Old English White’.
Looks amazing!
Somebody better tell me what redbone cover is used in this short now
it’s on our Instagram 🫡
Sick that
Great job lads, keep going! X
Can't wait to see this on track in March!! 💯
Paint looks lush at the end 👌🔥
Certainly does! What a difference from when it started x
this is dope guys, it’s come so farrrr
They've done so well! X
What a lovely looking helmet!
What engine are you going to run?
We are running the 1300! 😁
Yes boyysss!!!
Keep up the work lads 👍
Glad to see your moving right along! Can't wait to see it painted like you posted on social media!
Definitely time to catch up on the videos! Paint episode won't be too far away, just needs editing up. We were that excited with the result of the paint job that we just posted it on social media straight away 😁
@@hbr_racing_ I don't blame yea being excited and we can't wait to see it!! Cheers Boys!!
Seen you all got it painted now! Should have videos of that being done. Need more video's posted than once a month. Keep it up guys!!
Yep, we're a bit behind with the videos! The deadline for getting on track is starting to bite so the vids have taken a bit of a back seat. New one up tomorrow though, and a couple more planned over the next couple of weeks! Paint one should be good 🤙
Loads of confidence 😊 well done to you. 👍🇮🇪😉
Brilliant stuff lads, keep it going 💪
Is it looking like it will be done on time?
Looking good lads 👌
Really starting to see the progress!!
starting to look like a bad idea 😂
First!
This project is going great guns. Brilliant bunch of lads working in this and learning from from this. Keep it going. 👌👌👌
"None of this Imperial crap", but your conversions are way out. 😂 1 inch = 25.4mm, so 4 inches is roughly 100mm.
Nothing gets past you mate 😂
Go on boys! Cant wait to see this hooning!
Neither can we! :) lots of work yet though!
How about an update video?
There's one live now, Enjoy!
If you want to stop the white flicker change the cps to 50 not 60 on the go pro
Great work lads, and a great series. That cup was as big as Ben's head.
Keep at it and you will make it to the first race!
Starting to see some progress, keep it up lads!
Bring back the also Ben!
Nice work guys!
The new shell is the same as the one you have now so if it is in better better shape use that one. Great video keep it up guys!
I see you using metric sockets. Your car will be all SAE. It wasn't until the mid 70s when things went metric for you guys. The rot you have is very much like mine.
Glad to know someone else is in the same boat! We have limited imperial sockets at the moment, don’t worry we have some on order.
@@hbr_racing_ don’t give up on it. It can be saved, especially if your plan is to just race it and you are not worried about showing it. I think you might need to start Honey Badger Welding though. LOL
Everyone forgets the handbrake cable! Depending on how deep you end up going, you might want to consider welding in cross bracing to prevent the tub from deforming. Also check that cross member under the heel board. If you have to dig that deep you will want to put that tub back on the frame to use the frame as a jig.
Love the project guys. I am restoring a 1970 and I know what you have ahead of you. Best of luck, I am excited to watch.
wth were they thinking stuffing newspaper in there?...
you could not have picked a better car to do all this stuff to. i find spitfires look more youthful than an mgb or the like. lowered, neat wheels the car looks so awesome. will be fun to tag along. cheers.
Yes a better body would be the fasted route to getting this car going to the track in the spring. Good luck guys!
Car is basically a time capsule with all that newspaper
Grant loves filming himself 😂
Have you considered approaching Honeybourne Mouldings about their excellent GRP panels? They do a complete Lenham front end, too.
Are you intending to keep it as a four cylinder, or put a six in?
We are keeping the 4 cylinder, this places us in a good class for racing :)
Subscribed & bell clicked for notifications. Looking forward to what promises to be a good series.
Love an old spitfire, hope all goes well 👍
It's not a restoration if there isn't any rust! Keep up the good work lads.
Looks like a great build! Can't wait to see how you guys get on.
Glad you like it, episode 2 is out now 👍another on Sunday… all triumphs are rusty that’s all I’m saying haha
@hbr_racing_ fantastic British build quality 😉 good luck with it lads!
I hope you braced the body between the door and crisscross because you will see body flex and won't get the doors to line back up when you remount the body latter. Trust me.
We have braced since this, just didn’t have footage of it. Placed 2 bars between the doors 👍
