This has become my favourite channel by far. Cheers lads! Masters at work.
Yes, I agree. Every Sunday night I impatiently wait for the next episode.
they just used filler over the hole 🕳️. So many dodgy jobs done to this car and it’s been so good to see it get properly repaired. Top work Gents and looking forward to the next episode. 💪
You Boys have been amazing thanks for showing us what’s gone into this car so far.
Have a good week keep it real keep it steel 👍
You guys are doing fantastic job on this LJ .The GTR and XU1 did not come with radios ,Only optional extra. In saying that I also have a orange 1972 GTR. When you guys finish torana it will be better than the factory. Keep up the fanstic job.
As always loving the content and minuscule details Fellas👏👏
Getting alittle impatient as I can now see the finish line is not too far away👏👏
That roof panel is easily in the best condition, compared to what else we’ve seen on the car. I doubt the antennae hole would have surprised anyone, but the vacuum hose, on the mirka kit is worth its weight, just in the time saved in cleaning up aloe. And you wouldn’t be blowing out multi coloured boogers for days after 😏
My only question is, why did you apply primer before welding up the hole?
The XU1 is coming along very nicely. My XU1 was about 5 years old & the front screen had to be replaced ,the vehicle was always garaged. Under the windscreen rubber, there was also corrosion, I had to weld to repair. I went to Eagers to purchase a new rubber a guy in spare parts told the original rubbers were made of a reactive material, causing the corrosion issue. The replacement was of a different grade of material to prevent this problem. It made me think I have seen a few since with the same problem. Cheers guys.
Love this car build it’s been a pleasure to watch.
Absolutely skilled craftsman.
I like how you guys do all the metal and even spraying work.
The roof aerial is definitely not factory, if a radio was optioned the aerial was fitted to the left front guard about 6” from the back of the guard.
It’s coming along very nice now boys the owner will be so happy.
Im not sure how these guys can bog over things like this.
It’s a real dodgy shop that did that.
Hope we can get merch soon and i feel watching your show is so positive. Its always good it very positive.
Keep it reel keep it steel 👌👍💪
Turret aeriels were popular in 70s i had one on my hk monaro not factory also we used to pop the rear vision mirror when we went to the drivein cheers Mick tbar
Great video.
Ron here Love the tig welding bite and finish
Not a factory option, which has already been mentioned. The aerial hole in my LJ was above the mirror mount plate. Keep up the good work.
Hi guys I'm Vaughan I been watching this build from the start I look forward to the next episode keep up the awesome work you guys are fantastic I would love to restore my old reliable vn calais but I can't afford to do it anyway keep it up.
They was not a factory thing but a dealer could have them fitted for you,,, other than that you would do them your self. Cheers
I love da sander with vacuum I couldn't go back to one with out vacuum
The silicon and sponge on the cross member I don't believe is factory. Normally the factory sound deadening would take up any slop but it looks as if most of the deadening has been removed. Let me know if you need a photo of what it should look like.
Another great episode again lads. I assume you primed the roof prior to welding was just to seal the steel to prevent surface rust? Im guessing a time factor or lack of to weld the roof antenna hole? looking forward to the next one cheers!
Adamson Auto Body - Great job as always fellas. What size wire did you use when tig welding those repairs, looks like you used some mig wire?
That’s some very tidy work today boys, another great video to start the week on the right track. 👊👍💪👌
This car is going to be a magnificent XU1 when it’s finished.
Was there a fight as to whose side aerial hole was located?
I hope the guys that did all the bad repairs back in the day are watching and feel the shame for all the work they did to these cars
Why didn't you just prime quarter at say time? Save time and no joins in primer. Each to their own. Cant wait to see colour go on 👍
Coming out of Harry Firth smash repairs if memory serves me the turret aerial came fab standard in the 2 door ford escort story around radio reception was the higher the aerial the better the reception mind you this was back before they put suppressors standard on plug leads.but the Torana Arial were on the L/H/G closer to the motor hence that horrible wizzing should when you rev the car. Then the centre Arial became that must go to have of the late 70s early 80 back when surfing pot smoking hippies loved the sandman P van ah yes I remember those beach parties well so you didn't get the sand rash when you met the love of your stoned life the back of your van was home away from home now all the little Shirley's book a hotel cry babies 😅
Everyone used to fit those roof aerials, some wouldn't even connect them.
that aerial is in the wrong spot anyway
Fantastic build guys can’t wait to see it finished! I’ve watched most of the videos and keep noticing Chateau Mauve overspray in areas it would only get from factory as seen @ 12:14 under the turret in this video, and on the door frame under trim area in previous a video. Is this a genuine XU1 or a replica? Either way keep up the great work!!
I reckon that you may be on to something there, the inside of the turret is all sprayed out in black too, instead of the colour overspray. It's very common for these things to happen, especially xu1's.
when your tig welding the hole in the roof, do you always have the tungsten so short? it seemed really short?
