      This stuff looks amazing but knowing how often I've had to patch up or replace floor-pans I think you might end up cursing it later. Not to mention the times the door seals decide to fail or dislodge themselves mid-winter and you end up with a little hydroponic garden in there by the time you realise. It does look awesome though :).

    It is surprisingly emotional seeing parts being reattached to the car in their final positions after all this time. I want the series to go on forever, and yet I cannot wait to see it completed. I'm fairly sure if I was ever in Shropshire and Binky passed me on the road, I'd scream and weep like a teen girl at the height of Beatlemania.

    I'm so pleased that I've only recently come across this channel. I'm afraid that if I'd found it, 7 YEARS AGO, by now I would have had to get a shotgun and blow my own brains out waiting for them to finish it. It's magnificent and the attention to detail is second to none. I have some understanding of how long these things take; not so long ago I rebuilt a yacht (an ambitious 3 month plan that turned into 6 months and ended up almost full time 18 months later) and I'm currently rebuilding two motorcycles. It's quite astounding how long some of the tiniest jobs can take to get the result you want. Very much looking forward to seeing all the bits bolted back together in (hopefully) the very near future. Well, "near", as in Binky standards.
