Definitely not the track for this car

I couldn't see the Ultima, hopefully it's still going strong.

Glad you are doing better Humble, wish you a happy new year

Sounds as though everything is either stable or moving in a positive direction. I'm glad to hear it. With respect to your vision, here's my abbreviated tale: lifetime severe myope (-10.5 & -12.0) with astigmatism. Also, a nearly lifelong pilot who absolutely requires 20/20 best corrected in each eye individually. Three years ago, my vision started to worsen dramatically and I was diagnosed with fast-growing cataracts. I went from 20/20 to nearly blind in the center of each eye's field of view within about three months. The solution was multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) and the result was nothing short of incredible. Having worn vision correction for over 50 years, 80% of that time with soft, toric contacts, I now have 20/15 in my right eye and 20/20 in my left eye, uncorrected. No need for readers and no anticipated degradation with age (no presbyopia). About six months after the cataract surgeries, I experienced detached retinas (evidently a risk for formerly severe myopes post-cataract surgery) in each eye about four months apart. The retina surgeries were successful and my eyes have been perfect ever since. Anyway, ask your surgeon about multifocal IOLs. 🙂 Best of luck! Ken

I’m very glad to hear your positive take on the hand you’ve been dealt. Strong’s, look forward to your coming updates.

Thanks for the videos this year Humble. Looking forward to seeing your MK running.

Thanks for the post.

The bigger lines have less flex , so I start with those and then work my way down in size . I really need to get back on my 1.8T swap in my 914 .

You shouldn't install all the brake and fuel lines before you drop in the engine transmission?

For peeling back the blue protective film, try a little heat as you pull back on it

Rear hubs are loose because the half shafts are not in and tightened down with the axle nuts, no? Mine is the same way, because I haven't tightened the axle nut down yet. If you lower the engine, you won't lose the driveshaft pinion angle?

Is this car for sale?

I have a tiny shop at the house and it is borderline over lit . I wouldn`t change it though . The shop I currently work at is 7,000 square feet and we need more light . I really want to get back to building cool things and not the average stuff .

Those things are a small price to pay to have charge of your space. I am happy for you and patiently awaite the continuation of your automotive exploits.

Great video, thanks for sharing! Is that headset the Sena Tufftalk? I'm also in the Bay Area and my Caterham 7 kit is currently on a boat headed to the port of Oakland (ETA 10/13) - hopefully I'll see you on Skyline sometime next spring/summer.

Having the workspace all sorted will make working on things a lot more enjoyable . I know when I have a jumbled area , it just throws everything off for me .

This is a really great video, your voice is clear and your videos are filmed on a decent quality camera! Thank you!

When I bought my (then 50+ year old) house in Seattle many years ago, I simply had my company send my first year's paychecks directly to Home Depot 😂 Welcome to home ownership! I've probably mentioned it before, but YES YES YES on the wire shelving. And definitely opt for the caster option! They're not the strongest/best of wheels, esp if the shelves are overloaded, but it makes cleanup so much easier if you can nudge things around. Once you have it all tweaked, you're going to love the new space, and be able to get so much more done. As for a lift; there are "half height" lifts; in fact, the pillars are often even portable, but have the option of being bolted down for extra rigidity. I've worked with those. You obviously can't stand up under the car, but a good low seat with a reclining back makes it easy to zip around underneath. And it's certainly a good option for 70% of the jobs you'd want to do. Good luck with everything!

Congrats on the new place will! Good luck with the updates! it will never stop as I have learned, but it is very gratifying if you do it yourself step by step.

I would add a ceiling in that garage. I even made a home theater in my garage w/a 135" motorized screen. You should install jackshaft style garage door openers.

Hey Will - It looks as though everything is coming along a treat. Definitely keep going with the house updates. I suspect that nearly all of your viewers have been through similar transitions and projects, most of us more than once. I'm interested in seeing your progress, anyway. All the best. -Ken

Congrat’s mate! Looks like a good space!

Cool new digs! Befitting to your collection.

Congrats on the big (and successful) move! Has Kumo tested the pool yet? :)

Congratulations with your new spot Will!

Congrats Humble! That’s friggin awesome! Also my dream setup. Amazing. Happy for you. You’re in my neck of the woods now. I’m sure I’ll finally run into you at a C&C one of these days.

Love the new space . Insulate the ceiling first ,, insulation is king when trying to make a space climate controlled .

Congratulations Will! You scored the elusive gear head home. Happy wrenching!

Congrats on the new house. The shop/garage area is awesome. Are you still in the Bay Area now?

You have space for A lift with those raised ceilings. Sweet setup with lots of space. You could put in cement in front with 4” channels like a checker board for drainage with some black rocks.

Congrats, Will!! Being a homeowner is awesome. The ability to adapt your space to your own needs/desires is priceless. I'm on my third owned home at this point and will only move again when I find a good airpark house. 🙂 All the best of luck to you in your new adventure.

This is a great mod but getting the steering wheel aligned again is a pain. I feel like I'm still off by a degree or two.

The gear lever has a lot of play in it :) Fabulous scenery!

For the new garage(s) I can't recommend highly enough doing what I did; lots more of those "wire rack" shelves (the tall ones similar to your low "cart" shelves) and *everything* you can muster, on wheels! Basically, if it's on the ground, it's on wheels! My garage came with a lot of built-ins, but all additional storage is on wheels, or bolted to the walls/hanging from something. Makes cleanup and re-org much easier. Happy days in the new digs!!

You totally need to get the new shop setup and organized before you resume any work . Looking forward to that shop reveal .

My first thought it was that must be Rob in that Emira. I'm following his build.

Love the blunicorn!. Top job Humble

Congratulations on the new home.

Really great to get a decent cockpit view, thank you. It makes the Emira look tall lol.

So cool 🙌🏼

I've been in the relocation business for roughly 15 years and the best way I have found for tool box drawers is to load them with packing paper. It will hold everything in its place and you can leave the drawers in.

My last move was spur of the moment and the plan was just put stuff in boxes that could be carried and then trailer 3 project cars as well . I have been here for the last 20 years now , so no moves lately . Also , this was the first time I noticed all of the Rock Auto magnets on the bottom drawer of the box .

Congrats with the new workshop! (and house ofcourse) Are going to do a workshop reno tour or something Will?

While I've moved my garage (with all of the tools and accoutrements for my airplane, motorcycle, and car work), I've fortunately not done so with an active project pending. You have my sympathies! You're on the right track with the idea of individually wrapping drawers, though nothing you're likely to do upfront will avoid the necessity of reorganizing each drawer's contents on arrival at the new house. In any case, congrats! Not to worry; you'll get through it. 🙂

Good luck with your move and I hope your endeavours are rewarded 😎💥💥

Great ride guys!! I'm still building mine, maybe another two more years. I'm to far from you anyway. I'm in San Dimas.

Nice drive. I spent the 90's there and bought a Miata to blast down those roads on the weekends. Brings back good memories.

Thanks for organizing the day Will. It was a lot of fun and great to finally drive with other sevens.

12:28 - I love that motorcycles basically treat you as a motorcycle :) with the ubiquitous US-Motorcyclist-wave :)

Hi great to see you out and about with like minded guys and their builds 👏 if you ever come to the UK, I would love to invite you to one of our days out, I would get MK to lend you a build for the weekend and I can show you around our British sights, regards Nigel 😎💥💥
