A fantastic watch for a frustrated armchair mechanic. The stop motion is pure genius. And the velvety Irish brogue completes the experience. Thanks George.
So slick. So professional. I've said it before, we're all your buddies out here George, I feel like I'm sitting in the garage with you while you work. If you listen carefully you hear me saying "Nice work George - and yeah... don't sweat it, we understand - and Goood idea, I hadn't thought of that".". Keep 'em coming.
I've done quite a bit of welding & repairing old cars (mainly P6 Rovers) & I can only say I'm mystified why the O/S would rust worse, but it does always seem to be the way. This is a RHD country as well b.t.w. Great channel George, thanks.
There's no feeling like it, plus after I did my two door Range Rover I could hear or feel the slightest change in literally anything on the car as I drove.
So within the last week i made it through all your episodes and just a few weeks ago i started my own project car which is my BMW E36 Compact, my very first car that deserves to be saved, i won't say that you got me started because that'd be a lie but you helped me get going again, last weekend the driver behind me was distracted and slammed into the rear of my Summer daily (2005 Ford Focus) so my motivation dropped below zero but i found this channel through Engines and unfinished businesses and you got me going again on a slower pace than before but i did some stuff. so thank you so much for your videos without them i would still be sitting around and freaking out about the accident. greetings from Austria
Fingers crossed for the inspection George. I would be shocked if she failed on the structure. You really have done an amazing job. It would be amazing if done indoors but outdoors takes it to another level.
My god this episode was among the most satisfying ever. Lots and lots of progress. This was just pure satisfaction porn right there; overlayed with that soothing Irish narration.
Ever considered becoming an inspirational speaker? :) Seriously, this was great progress and I think that your front-end work was quite good for being "temporary". I really don't think you would need to replace it considering your growing skillset!
The body should have come off the chassis from the get go, that's a mistake I'll never make again. Whatever about the strength of it, the paint and prep just can't be done as well as I'd like with the car in one piece. Don't know about becoming a speaker... although I'll happily bend the ear of anyone who stumbles into my trap ;)
That's some impressive welding! Biggest thing I've learned thus far restoring a lightweight is patch when possible. You don't really know when you're gonna find full replacement parts. Definitely gonna binge watch your series when I have my exams over me.
Great work, George. Plans to replace the panels with new within a few years will almost certainly get stretched out - these things always do. But it looks like you have done the repairs to such a standard as it won't matter - I reckon you'll get a good 15-20 years out of them as long as you get some cavity wax onto the back of the bulkhead repairs and a decent layer of paint in the voids below the battery trays.
I'm going to get it tested and hopefully drive it, but it'll likely be a summer romance, then either way it'll be mothballed until it qualifies for classic tax in 1.5 years ;).
And that visible progress is all built upon the slow (looking) progress that went before! Can be frustrating at first, but gets very satisfying at this point.
George - you're a miracle worker! Your motivation levels must be at an all time high - this is just brilliant stuff, and the stop motion welding footage is excellent. Driving it yet?? I suppose I'll have to wait just a little longer :-) I've been away for work for a couple of weeks, but before I went I had the wheels refurbed on the Vitesse and new Firestones fitted. The drive home from the wheel shop was fabulous until the exhaust started blowing a couple of miles from home! Boring Honda passed its MOT with no advisories, so that's something. My RR vogue has a small leak from the rad, somewhere - there's a tiny column of steam from the front grille at the end of every journey but I'm going to ignore it for now, and get busy changing the engine and diff oils instead - let's hope it makes it to Anglesey and back over Easter.
Motivation is tough right now Mark, the biggest test right at the last hurdle. Have found some brutal rust I just never noticed before... how could there still be a rusty area?? Don't leave that pin hole too long, if it drops the boiling point of your coolant it could toast your head gasket!
@@soupclassicmotoring Your thoughts about the pin-hole in the rad got me thinking that perhaps you're right and I should get it sorted. I was worried about the oil cooler and autobox cooler built in to the rad - I expect yours is the same - and how that would make it complex and expensive but I've found one for below £200 so I expect I shall be getting on with that very soon. Main job right now is to find out why it's reluctant to start and why it's running a bit rough all of a sudden. I'm sorry about the nasty rust hiding under the Decker panel - and all the usual front-end decay. But it is the last big push and you're so inventive and resourceful George - you'll crack it!
Amazing work again! Great dedication waiting for the rain to stop then getting back to it. The welding really turned out well on the scuttle, you’re old hat at this cut out old weld in new lark now.
Hi George, this is going to sound a bit crazy but I just spent the weekend in Edinburgh at a conference and ended up sitting beside this great guy named Hadleigh. We got chatting and ended up realising that we had a love of cars and bikes in common. He told me about your channel {which is fantastic btw}and the Lotus and how much of a great guy you were but the craziest thing was when he told me where you lived it turned out to be less than 20 miles south of me. He said to reach out to link up with you and that he was going to do the same to pass on my contact details He reckons we would get on really well and that you might like some of the projects I have on the go. Paul
My mum used to have an old mini, which she'd park on the road, always facing the same way - driver's side to the pavement. She did this for years. The passenger side, always facing the road, developed severe rust along the bottom of the whole side there due to the cars passing and splashing the rain and grit. The driver's side was relatively spotless. So it may be that the driver's side on yours is just more exposed to the road and when driving and therefore is rustier? Just a thought.
Amazing work on top of extreme motivation! I'm sure driving it over the summer is the vision fueling that motivation. I wish I could say the same about the Porsche which is finally finished but has to sit in storage for a few years. I look forward to seeing the vogue at shows in the near future!
Open driven Insurance is proving more expensive than expected. So I will have to store it for another while unfortunately. It's looking the buissness tho!
The vehicle picks up more spray from oncoming traffic on the driver's side, road grit sent flying up, etc. It's common in North America too for there to be more rust on the driver's side than the passenger side.
Bloody great video as per usual Sir. :) On the more driver's side rust G, maybe it's because the car was parked up with the driver's side near a wall or similar? I have had similar with my 90's Honda(actual rust magnets from new) the passenger side requires little but inspection and reapplication of anti rust goo in the summer in places where it's likely to form. The driver side is parked near to a low wall and though the car is more wax than steel :) I had to do a small bit of welding to the sill on that side. Well I didn't, I got in a pro, as the emergency services of Dublin have enough to be dealing with.
I have to say your welding with the flux-cored wire is an inspiration, especially since you're not even using a top end welder. You now make the thin metal welding look easy. I am tempted to buy a roll of flux core just to give it another go, and get some practise in for when I need to weld in windy conditions. Which brand of wire do you use?
You can get a decent result, no doubt, my welds are affected by the stop motion process, they could be prettier. For €100 that welder is a no brainer I reckon. That said I'm not touching the Esprit chassis with it. The wire is Sureweld I think, I buy the big rolls now and they last ages so it's been a while since I saw the packaging.
Well done sir. I think you under estimate your repair effectiveness. Those repairs are top notch. I love your videos especially the time lapse stuff, but that must be a pain in the rear. I hear that making RUclips videos and repairing cars causes twice the amount of time to be spent than it would normally take (I think this is for a well oiled routine and would be more like 3 or 4 times to start out with) But time lapse? that must take at least 10 times the amount of time / work. I really appreciate it because it is such an awesome effect. And remember the old joke " There was a meeting of car companies to discuss future developments, there was BMW, Maserati and British Leyland. They were talking about their quality checks and the BMW guy said (in a German accent) ve test our qvality by putting a cat inside ze car for 20 minutes and after if ze cat is dead zen ve know all of ze seals are air tight and ze test is passed. The Maserati guy then said (in an Italian accent with much waving of arms) we also testa our cars this waya after 1 hour if the cat is deada then we know all of the seals are gooda. The British Leyland guy then says (in a brumy accent) we also do this test, after 10 minutes if the cat is still inside the car then we know it's good enough". Those gaps are perfect, they are called ventilation gaps and stop condensation. Thumbs up.
😂That sounds about right. About the stop motion and the extra time. The process is fine for some jobs, ones where there are a lot of repetitive movements and where I don't have to fight with the camera for real estate. But when it's awkward, it's crazy time consuming. When I split the Esprit engine from the box and got the engine onto the stand... it took 8 hours. I could do that in half an hour if I was just working normally.
I dar say it'd be a lot easier than all the patching. Quicker too. Although I'll pull the engine out for ease of work. The only thing now is coming up with the £1k for the parts
Maby the driver side is worse because the driver is more often than the passenger opening and closing the door in bad weather? And that's why it has more rust? I'm only guessing 😃 Thanks for all your videos. They are great 😃👍
All this work “to at least get a few months out of it” Thank fuck that is not how the world works. Or there would be very few car guys if it requires the dedication this man has.
Ooooh, it's getting so close! Looking good there George! So, do you think the current front end is just about more patches & weld than OEM metal, now? So satisfying to see it getting so close. I can only imagine how you are feeling, seeing it like that, given how it looked to start with. :D
It's just off the shelf wood/metal gloss from the hardware store. I wouldn't use it again. The primer though is good stuff, much thicker and hard wearing. I think for a better build I'd spray a specialised paint like the Rust Bullet I hand painted on the rear cross member.
Hi.great videos. Just a thought on the lotus. Did you ever think of galvanising the frame after its blasted? At that weight itll only cost about £40. Against you spending hours painting it and atleast £30 on good paint.....gerry
@@soupclassicmotoring hi.thanks for the reply. But somethings are acceptable when restoring cars.its to save the car for years to come plus you can allways paint over the galvanising to make it look factory.but youre the man and its your car. Gerard
@@gerardmccloskey6055 Thanks Gerard, and yeah I get you. It's not that I'm trying to stay strictly factory, in fact there are interior time things that just aren't available anymore, but I just don't like the idea of galv on this car. A Land Rover... yeah all day long ;)
Hi I've spent some time searching but I can't find the file I'm sorry. I got it from the youtube audio library though so you could have a look. Thanks :)
Maybe not one, but definitely two years. Who knows. It's really time consuming for some processes and then not intrusive for others, or can sometimes even help. Like stopping to trigger the camera when welding can lend time to cool.
Expect royalty checks for every time I say "Christ on a bike!". Amazing work George!!! I'm finding it hard to believe that there will be no more welding. Did you ever get the new welder?
man i love how you start video and go to the point, no 'whats up guys my name is bla bla, please like share subscribe and go to my patreon, check instagram' in the first 20secs of the video without even showing any footage
Ich hoffe Sie haben jemanden der ihnen das übersetzt... Mache bitte einen Mercedes Benz G Modell (G-Klasse) Das wäre echt ein tolles Video und eine Hilfe für alle die das Kult Auto noch restaurieren wollen... Lieben Gruß aus Germany
A fantastic watch for a frustrated armchair mechanic. The stop motion is pure genius. And the velvety Irish brogue completes the experience. Thanks George.
Thanks John! You know what's coming next though... get off the arm chair ;) [hope the speed bumps iron out whatever they are]
You smashed through a serious amount of welding. The motivation of a man who has the finish line in sight 👍
The stubbornness of a man who won't be beat. It's not clever Dan

It's a weird one, maybe the road salt accumulates more in the middle of the road whereas it's washed away in the gutter by the kerbside.

Bloody hell George! You’re the man. That’d be my worse nightmare stripping the dash out and getting it back in. 👍
Even on these later Range Rovers there's not a lot to it. Its more about applying logic than dealing with tricky things.
George, Wow your really ploughing through the work now this was a mega episode top job and pat yourself on the back lol. Cheers Dave
Cheers Dave, I've got to get mobile again whatever it takes.
Fingers crossed for the inspection George. I would be shocked if she failed on the structure. You really have done an amazing job. It would be amazing if done indoors but outdoors takes it to another level.
Thanks Ian, I hope the tester is happy with it. It's been a tough gig outdoors but it'll be worth it

I'm eyeing a '90 to buy. After watching this, I know where I'll be checking for rust. Whew!
Can't wait to see that thing driving. Good work George.
Cheers Phil
Great progress in this episode!
Great work. All the months of slow (looking) progress is well worth it when so much visible progress happens in such a short space of time.
And that visible progress is all built upon the slow (looking) progress that went before! Can be frustrating at first, but gets very satisfying at this point.
yep getting to the exciting, satisfying stage
So glad I’ve found this channel. Super interesting and the stop motion film work is inspired.
George - Your welding looks very professional now! Great job, can't wait to see it back on the road.
Cheers Michael, I'm more confident with the welder if nothing else.
Nice work George!

Wonderful progress, George! And as usual, good music. I hope you have fair weather for the rest of the build.
day off today, I thought I should let it rain ;)
So so close, I can't wait.
Wow savage amount of work done there George. Fingers crossed for you. Loving the Robinson Crusoe car cover haha.
That cover will be a pleasure to dump Terry, possibly more momentous than the first start

That was my thoughts on it too, but this car lived in a car port on an extremely secluded drive.
Amazing work on top of extreme motivation! I'm sure driving it over the summer is the vision fueling that motivation. I wish I could say the same about the Porsche which is finally finished but has to sit in storage for a few years. I look forward to seeing the vogue at shows in the near future!
Thanks man. Why does the Porsche have to go into storage?
Open driven Insurance is proving more expensive than expected. So I will have to store it for another while unfortunately. It's looking the buissness tho!
So close to finishing.
Almost there, what will I do with myself???
Amazing how much work you've done on the old bus! Looks like it's going well, looking forward to an update on the esprit too!
Normal Esprit service will resume asap :)
The vehicle picks up more spray from oncoming traffic on the driver's side, road grit sent flying up, etc. It's common in North America too for there to be more rust on the driver's side than the passenger side.
Was wondering about that, and if you're unfortunate enough to pass the gritter coming the other way... it's like a momentary blasting.
Awesome as ever, very tidy. Impressive resolve to keep at it but hopefully worth it!
Just keeping focussed has been the toughest thing, like you say, hopefully it all works out
More of an Esprit fan, but great to see this shed come together.
Craicin on boss ! impressive, well done you!
thanks man
Bloody great video as per usual Sir. :)
On the more driver's side rust G, maybe it's because the car was parked up with the driver's side near a wall or similar?

I have to say your welding with the flux-cored wire is an inspiration, especially since you're not even using a top end welder. You now make the thin metal welding look easy.

Next few weeks, soon as I can drive myself to it in the Vogue ;)
Well done sir. I think you under estimate your repair effectiveness. Those repairs are top notch. I love your videos especially the time lapse stuff, but that must be a pain in the rear. I hear that making RUclips videos and repairing cars causes twice the amount of time to be spent than it would normally take (I think this is for a well oiled routine and would be more like 3 or 4 times to start out with) But time lapse? that must take at least 10 times the amount of time / work.

It's a close call isn't it. I was sat staring at the near side the other day trying to decide if it was more patch then factory. It kinda looks cool.

Hi I've spent some time searching but I can't find the file I'm sorry. I got it from the youtube audio library though so you could have a look. Thanks :)
How much time does doing the stop motion add? Could you have done this in a year instead of 3 if you weren't entertaining us so well?
Maybe not one, but definitely two years. Who knows. It's really time consuming for some processes and then not intrusive for others, or can sometimes even help. Like stopping to trigger the camera when welding can lend time to cool.
Its worth the effort to watch anyway. I struggle to not kick the camera over and tie myself in knots with the mic lead when I try and work and film!
@@furiousdriving I kick the camera regularly, it's the bain of my day because it ruins nice stop motion sequences.
Expect royalty checks for every time I say "Christ on a bike!". Amazing work George!!! I'm finding it hard to believe that there will be no more welding. Did you ever get the new welder?
