    Enjoy watching you work on this car, it's refreshing to see a RUclipsr who actually does a proper and thorough job. So far your the only one, please keep it up!

    Brilliantly thorough job. I swear the front of your Rolls has a brighter smile than before.

    What a satisfying job! Well done Paul. I love the way such items on this car can be dismantled down to individual components, cleaned and reassembled with new gaskets and bulbs. Try doing that on most mass produced cars of today! As ever, IntroCar have been brilliant throughout.

    Wow, I wasn't expecting such a massive transformation, achieving perfect alignment with sparkling components really does makes this Rolls look showroom fresh. Excellent work, right down to replacing the old screw with a new chrome one. You've managed to take years off it....and I will never tire of seeing that gorgeous paint colour, I think it's what makes this Rolls stand out, it looks so elegant and sophisticated. Well done! 👍 😎

    I am just amazed that you can still get new gaskets and foam rubber strips from the manufacturers. Try getting parts like that for an eleven year old Citroen! Quality obviously wins every time. Very neat job - looks great.

      Can't get that stuff for any Mercedes. All 'no longer available'.

    Great work. I always like to freshen up head and tail lights on my cars. No one does it, but it really is rewarding and sharpens up those visual angles. Thanks for getting this Rolls up to snuff!!

    Weirdly satisfying when you do something that makes part of the car that nobody will see ( behind the lights) into as new condition. Not to mention making the lights look good as new on the outside. Another really superb job - as befits a Rolls Royce!

      Fantastic detail to work you have there, you will have the best original RR in the country the way you are going, I always found that osram night breaker H4 head light bulbs gave of the best light

    Top job as usual Paul. In many respects being hand built makes them easier to work on. Modern robot built cars would not be as easy as that.

    Dear Paul: Another great video on the RR Spur III. My Mulsanne S has the first year "back" of the 4 round bulbs for 1989, which are interestingly fog lamps on the interior closest to the grill, and high/low beams on the outside, not 4 separate headlamps. I went to the garage to have a look at them after watching you, but fortunately they seem fine.
    Here in the middle USA we are still digging out from literally one foot of snow last Sunday. It was a little warmer this morning and I opened the garage door and ran my car in the garage a while to warm up the engine and move the car a little forward and back to use the brakes and pressure up the braking system. But it may otherwise be a while before we have dry clear roads to drive on. Patience is a virtue, but it can also be a necessity! Keep up the great channel. -Bobo KC

    Another amazing job done. I can't believe you can still get the gasket seals. I much prefer the rectangular headlights on the Rolls Royce, to the round ones seen more on Bentley's. The front end now looks fantastic and very regal.

    Great job done well. I miss not having the glass headlamp lens as trying to keep plastic lens is a never ending job. For easy gasket removal I use label remover from Aerosol Solutions, it's great as I also use it as a degreaser before doing paintwork.

    Getting the Rolls-Royce ready for warmer weather.
    The foam inserts for the headlamp seals I definitely would keep, for you already found a use for them!!
    It looks absolutely fantastic, great job!

    • @frothe42

      I just want to say that you are amazed at the quality of the pieces of trim.
      When new, this was a very expensive vehicle, manufactured in low numbers, practically hand-built. So of course, Rolls-Royce would demand high quality for each and every piece installed on their motorcars.

    Wonderful. If someone buys a Spirit your series of videos on bringing it back to life should be compulsory viewing. Once you're done with the car please go find a shadow and do the same again.

    Tip from Millyard; cut the centre out of your gasket material before the outline!

    What a difference! Well done. I was wondering if H4 LED headlights are legal in the UK. PIAA makes a nice LED product. I have retrofitted a few of my cars in the US with LED headlights and it is a big difference. In your case, due to the prominence of the Rolls, I would not have done that, as some modifications to the dust boots, etc would be required.

    The Rolls is a good as new, and should deliver many years of trouble free driving. Yes, it's near impossible to stop the clock as cars age, but at least is can be slowed with efforts such as this. A well engineered car seems to be a much wiser and sound investment than these new cars which end up in the wrecking yard literally months after they were manufactured. Sure, they are more efficient, but are they any greener in the long run? I can't see it.

    After doing the front headlamps are you now going to give the rear light clusters the same treatment!

    You somehow just seem to be successful in going into the unknown. If that was me I’d have broken a clip, then had to source a replacement and then have trouble re-fitting 😬

    Crikey, exciting Sunday, headlamp restoration 😂 hope to see the mot sheet soon, get it on the road and drive it like it needs to be. Took my Sprit II out today never knew it had an ice warning. Very alarming as it just stays on all the time in red - ICE
