    Great video love the fact its custom. Each to there own was gonna suggest maybe putting a black seam around the edge of the glass but hes limo tinting them anyway so that's cool. Really glad that he hasn't let Chris deter him too keep it up will!

    Superb video Mark. Looking forward to seeing Colonel when he's done. The bonded window is the way to go and what I'd get made if I had a Clubby Estate

    Got to admire the dedication and attention to detail put into this project. kevlar stuff is pretty damn impressive even if its not quite my cup of tea. I love how people use a car to express something and I am sure this will be a stunner. You will upset the purists but thats OK. Its like when I was restoring old classic bikes and then built my Triton. Not very often you get a chance to build something YOU imagined, designed and then built. Well done and good luck in getting to IMM.
    @ 01:58 nice to also see someone distinguishing between a 'restoration' and a 'rebuild'. My '78 1000 is just going to be a very good period rebuild. Some people have done less and called it a restoration ...

      1chish Yes Will truly has a vision for what he wants and what he likes. I am very excited to see this car built and show off all the little details it has. We mention that we will do a video of our 72 estate and bus to show just how different it will be. So keep an eye out for that. Cheers for the kind words hope your build or mini is doing well. Maybe see you at IMM?

      @@SimpsonsClassics Mine is going pretty steady but well as my spanners and welder work faster than my wallet but I am now at last ordering the last panels (rear quarters and rear pockets). Basically everything from the waistline down, underneath and front is new metal so 'the end is nigh'!
      Can't make IMM but hope you all have a great few days....

      1chish wow sounds like you have a proper build on the go there would be nice to see it in the flesh once it’s all built up. Keep going it will be so worth it. That’s a shame but cheers I am looking forward to it 👍

      Paul P . Mini build thanks Paul yes that is his goal. It’s going to be no easy task for sure but either way this thing will be something else when it hits the road proper custom one off car. I love seeing something new and fresh.
