It's all very clever and way beyond me.
I like the bit with the dog in it.

Cheers guys, yea that's my 13 year old German Sheppard, unfortunately she's getting a bit of doggy dementia so gets a bit clingy now, when trying to get a straight line on a manual bead roller nothing helps more than tripping over your dog

Great stuff Colin - keep 'em coming! It's getting a bit like Project Binky - cant wait for the next episode! Hope you dont take as long though!

Great work as ever. I don't know why I can sit watching a bloke machining aluminium and find it so interesting

.

Great position of the safety beer in shot too. Don't do beer whilst I'm working on the car (only afterwards) but some 'internet' friends who are following my long and arduous build over on a Lotus forum I'm a member of (ex-Lotus owner) did send me this!

Love it! Should be standard issue with every kit!! Mine would be over 30 years old by now....

Hopefully with the exculsion of an automatic flip front bonnet, it should be a little quicker, that was truly mental!

I know, i find myself watching the footage intently, then i relies when i was actually doing it i couldn't wait for it to be finished!

Leigh - love the special mug - where can I get one! This is the sentiment (if not the wording) of all my friends and relatives when enquiring about my never-ending garage activities !

I can get some more I'm sure. I know the guy who made it. Anyone else want one? Sure we can censor the language. I'd like to show it to my son but he's a little bit young. Sure he knows the word but I'm still at the stage where I try to censor stuff for him!
