@@Boothsmotors You do it very well and in todays digital it mumbo jumbo it is refeshing when someone young like yourself care about preserving the technological marvels of yesterday, even though the Triumph V8 in the Stag was not such a marvel... ☺
Great progress , to be praised , the stag is a vehicle worth saving for the whole story and history surrounding design, it is one of the nicest classic vehicles to drive by far , we had them in the garages for service's , thanks for sharing Matt
Been following this from the very beginning, cracking job and loads of determination. I spent five years doing mine so this has flown along, keep it up!
Matt, credit to you and your Dad, you are doing a great job sorting out the Stag. They are great cars, but such a pain to restore to their former glory. Looking fwd to seeing more of the adventure!
Looks like your 2 thirds done on the welding, and making some real progress and saving the car, well done mate, looking forward to the next video on the stag. Cheers
Looking good Matt. Dont worry about not pushing videos out. Afterall your mind cant cover all jobs. I would tackk a repair plate onn the bottom of that rear wing before you try to pull any more dents out. Add a bit of rigidity to the panel first. Then it wont keep bouncing back so much.
Thank you 😊 tbh I’ve not had tonnes of time with the car this past month.. a week on holiday; rear ended in my van! Sometimes life gets in the way! But yeah definitely should’ve pulled it out before! I’ll sort it out! Already got it allot better since uploading!
@@worldofrandometry6912 the original inner arch and aftermarket outer arch don’t fit together properly, the panels avaliable for stags are awful! Hence I lost the lip and drilled and plug welded onto the inner panel, not complete in this video but I showed it a bit more when I did the n/s rear wing
@@worldofrandometry6912 no worries 😊allot of proper restorers do it especially on mx5’s, (like Yorkshire car restoration) losing the lip is one less rust trap!
Probably should have pulled the dent before cutting out panel. I done body work many years. Air chisels a bit heavy . Grind slices into it then pop it off. Inch a time.
Probably should have butt welded it. Moisture will get in the relief you made. Make sure you seal good from behind. Needs a good wax oil in all cavity’s and inside sills you put on. Good luck👍👍
They do say having a joggled edge helps with the distortion though! On a panel like an mgb where there a big rib in the panel it could easily be butt welded! The only thing I’ve ever been told is don’t joggle the new behind the old you’ll leave a gulley for the water to sit in! But yeah don’t worry plenty of wax oil, and dinitrol kicking around the garage!
@@Boothsmotorsclean jog good from behind and use seam sealer over joint. Flexible and a lot of heat will hit that panel. Use good seam sealer. Good luck. Good job Mate. I was talking to America about a TR7 in Texas junk yard. Mint condition. Just parting out. Classic ride society if you want to see. Heart breaker. Put a k20 in it. Be a great drive.

It's starting to look like a proper Triumph Stag again! Brilliant determination and dedication. Soon be getting it insured for the road!
It’s certainly got the shape back towards the rear! Still a long way to go! Definitely more work in it than I first thought 😂
Great to see your video and progress with the Stag. Well done with the work.
Thank you 😊
Great progress and video. Keep up the good work and thank you for taking the extra effort of filming and sharing on YT 🙂👍
Glad you enjoyed it! There’s not much out there on stags! Someone’s got to do it 😊

Thank you glad you’re enjoying it! I hope I like it after all this work! It’s just the auto box that worries me! Never really been for me 🥶😂
I like your dent puller, beats spending a lot of money for something that a diy enthusiast would only use a couple of times.

Glad you’re enjoying it 😊 I hope this doesn’t take 5 years i expected a year but I keep getting waylaid!

They are a real nightmare! If this was an mgb I’d have all the welding boxed off long ago! Glad you’re enjoying it! 😊
@@Boothsmotors Loving it,.mate 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻
Getting there 😎
You are doing a wonderful job 🥰 saving a Stag
Thank you I’m trying my best! Glad you’re enjoying it 😊

its getting there isn't it ! soon be done the weldings always the slow bit! glad you're enjoying it :)
You can weld a wire coat hanger 25mm long. Mole grips on a slide hammer deal. Less heat in the panel welding on and removing. Works good.

What about the inner wheel arch.that is rusted? He has not mentioned it. A new piece would have to be welded on prior to welding the outer skin.?
Good progress. How does the inner arch attach to the inside of the wing or doesn't it?

I did think that after! My bad! I’ve managed to get It all on and pretty straight since the video! I’m no professional 😂😂😂
plenty of new metal gone into the stag. going to be lovely wind in the hair Motoring, eventually . 🤔 😅
Still plenty more to go! I’ll get there one day eh!
