    Thanks for watching everyone, it was great to see so many people on the premiere.
    Thanks to everyone who commented on the video, I'm super proud of Charlie for getting his first engine rebuild under his belt and he's over the moon that it all went well.
    Thanks again guys and remember to hit the SUB button so we can get to 10k SUBS before the summer.

    Great job Charlie. 👍 You're lucky to have your old man, he has plenty of experience and knowledge to share, soak it up like a sponge. Are you doing an Apprenticeship 🤔 if not why not.

    Charlie
    Take it from this 57 year old grandfather.
    Enjoy every day you spend working with your father (I worked with mine for 8 years from leaving school to leaving home and buying a house 100miles away)
    Of course you will wind each other up and get fed up at times with each others habits, but the time spent together will be priceless as father time ticks on.

    Love the channel lads, nice job on the engine Charlie, takes me back to being a young lad working with my dad in his workshop, great memories.
    East End Radiators in Dennistoun is the place for testing rads and we used Davie Gilmour’s for years, they’ve always done great work.

    I use drivetec oil for my little Corsa, it's actually a good oil, I change it every 6k because of the chain, I was told by a few mechanics and someone who I know works for vauxhall recommended me around the 6k mark, I like watching you and Charlie do your vids, keep up the good work

    • @HomeBuilt
      @HomeBuilt  Год назад

      Thanks mate, i think Drivetec is a decent oil, good calue for money amf meets all the specs required by manufacturers.

    • @HomeBuilt
      @HomeBuilt  Год назад +2

      Me too, we will be keeping a close eye on it over the next few days.
      My guess is the head gasket went a while ago podsibly caused by a seized thermostat which has now been cut out by whoever sold the car in the first place.
