I love your patience and attention to detail taking parts on and off until they are a perfect fit

[@iainmcglynn833]

The attention to the smallest detail , the execution of putting it all together , the final look - all fabulous, but enough about Mrs Jeff 😂 It’s all the fiddly time sapping little jobs that add up to the final look being done fabulous No rear number in the world will have received so many hours attention Well done 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@QuesoBandito]

new background music! I was starting to get that wicked side of me song stuck in my head from watching so many of your videos. :P

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I get lazy, as it is always a pain finding new music ;)

[@2litrepeter.]

You make me nervous when you use that grinder in your lap Jeff. Don't drop it. We've already got a "Mrs Jeff"...

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I was thinking along those lines as well. I stopped myself. With the amount of times I have been bitten by grinders, you think I would learn.

[@truthseeker8483]

Nice work Jeff, the rear of the Datsun looks very good now. Glad you kept the steel bumper and made it into one piece.

[@carlharvey7098]

Really coming together now Jeff, amazing work as usual!

[@musclecarczarig4003]

Great episode! I really appreciate how you are continuously improving your videos. Thank you for putting these out!

[@bugbitebeetlebailey2240]

Is it me or am I the only one that finds Mrs Jeff to be drop dead Gorgeous

[@Andrew.quigley]

Nice video as always. Keep looking forward to seeing next stage. Cheers.

[@alanbuckingham2713]

This is a fabulous show, Jeff, and deserves far, far more than just 26k subscribers.

[@herrcrazyme8713]

I really enjoyed this Episode!

[@scanspeak00]

This is looking great. I'm so glad you decided to stick with the rear bumper .

[@ryanmcneill7492]

Coming along nicely Jeff , looking forward to seeing the paint going on this one 👀👀

[@joshgroenewege7356]

I think miss Jeff is jealous of the Datsun rear end keep up the good work

[@mawe42]

Music without vocals is the right way. Good work on that and the Datsun.

[@mikl911]

Really enjoying this series love your attention to the little details makes a huge difference with the finished product. Makes me almost want to go back and re-do my 78 SC...almost lol

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

The better I am getting this stuff, is already making me want to redo a heap of stuff on the 911... :(

[@wasabicars]

This is my first time seeing your channel. Great work on the 240Z resto rear.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thanks mate. Looks like you have an interesting channel there yourself. Great seeing all of those weird and wonderful cars.

[@computiNATEor]

This Datsun makes my twice-crashed, salvage-titled, 340k km BMW's bodywork look pristine. Props, Jeff, this is a huge project.

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

Nice work! Looking good! Awesome videos lately!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Thanks mate.

[@juliofaustino8953]

Good videos mate I do very similar work at home too in my projects. Cheers from WA

[@JamesMossR33]

Another great episode Jeff and I'm really interested in seeing the body filler work and how you get it smooooth. Oh, and I can confirm there's NOTHING wrong with Mrs Jeff.

[@richardpierre7946]

Good to see the z back.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It never left. There has been a Z vid every Friday ;)

[@richardpierre7946]

Home Built By Jeff I just meant a vid about the z, last few were on the vw.

[@prudhommejc]

It is crazy how warped things will get over the years. I wonder how tight the tolerances were from the factory. Great work, overall!

[@p3l1k44n1]

I had to do some rust patch work on my nissan today.. About a mouse pad sized piece of metal was cut for the patches.. Still need to fix the muffler hanger..

[@bloodreighn]

Hey Jeff, when you get to your larger panels see if you can get a very large/long flexible flat edge and apply the filler in a few directions using that, ive found it way easier to find a nice body line from the get go that way, and way less filler wastage too ( Kinda like this watch?v=paB6uHlRgMY )

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I will probably use something broader, although, if you keep it smooth and even, you can usually have more control with a narrower blade.

[@Number27]

You missed a trick not having a side by side comparison with Mrs Jeff’s rear end. Suspect it will trump the Z’s.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha ;)

[@Driven-daily]

Loving the music, and the terrible puns. It's definitely starting to look nice!

[@Driven-daily]

What we're really trying to say is that we like your rear end.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

You are only human ;)

[@Pjmperez01]

Whew, that rear end is tight.

[@AtticusDraco]

DANG,, and I was so close to memorizing the words to 'The Wicked Side of Me'!

[@TigerRogers0660]

Glad you're back on the"Z" Jeff! That one piece bumper will look good when the car is finished! Mine had the rubbers & overriders which i prefer - but i'm getting used to them without. So many people are discarding the rubbers now! Tiger.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I never left the Z. There has been a new Z vid every Friday. New Bug vids every Tuesday ;)

[@TigerRogers0660]

Gotcha! I'll keep a look out every Friday.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

You can't miss Beetle Tuesdays though ;)

[@TigerRogers0660]

I'll keep tuned then for a bit of Love Bug fun!!

[@VisionAutoGarage]

Jeff, great episode! It's going to be an awesome car! Are you using a gasless welder? If not, try turning your gas flow up which should reduce the brown soot around the welds.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

No, it is gas and I will try turning it up, although a lot of the mess was from the burning paint either side.

[@VisionAutoGarage]

They certainly look plenty strong enough :) I don't subscribe to the pretty weld club myself. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@crazyg74]

Good progress Jeff! I like the 1 piece bumper mod. by the way, is Mrs Jeff originally from Kiwi Land by any chance?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Yep, she has a mongrel accent from all over the place, but she grew up in Dunedin

[@MyBlueZed]

Serious suggestion ... came to me today. 😊 When the 911 is ready, unveil it with a meet up of local Porsche owner/subscribers. Same with the Zed. I’d love to attend both. I wouldn’t be able to make the VW unveiling alas. 😉

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Haha, all of the cars will get out and about when they are done. Never fear :D

[@richardtaylor2449]

Looking brilliant Mr Micklembut what colour?????COLOUR and are you painting 1303 superbug😈😎👌🔨🔧🚗

[@thomaswanek3908]

Jeff, off topic question, but what is the camera you are using to shoot your videos? The video quality looks great. BTW, I truly enjoy the Porsche, Datsun and now VW episodes.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I use a Canon 70D with just a stock 18-55mm lens.

[@Ecosse57]

i see what you did there with the title. cheeky.

[@benjamindavidson632]

Should weld the seams on the rear. Or metal to meatal

[@Malcarper]

A question for Mrs Jeff ..... Why are there a pair of metal fins, that stick out below the headlights, on the first rally car photo? I have never seen them before and guessing they are mini front spoilers? If they are, then please calculate the downforce at rally speeds.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I don't know, but I am thinking they would more likely be to stop rocks being flicked up at the windscreen.

[@victorylanel3150]

+Home Built By Jeff they're mudflaps so when you hit a puddle it cuts down water going over the lights and screen, old rally trick I still use them today. Thumbs up for new music!

[@majestictiger6012]

isn't it always time for the rear end? ;)

[@galennekvasil8871]

If only I lived in Australia, I would be thrilled to work on that car.

[@galennekvasil8871]

How much did you pay for that thing?

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

They are stupidly expensive in Aus now. I paid more for my Z than for my 911.

[@galennekvasil8871]

I'm looking to get one as my first car and restore it as I move along. 😁

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

In Aus, a rough running 2 seat 240z or 260z would be at least $25k for a running junk pile. They are definitely not cheap first cars here anymore.

[@galennekvasil8871]

Home Built By Jeff I'm in the states. You could find one in your condition for around 7-12k

[@wesbeauchamp4182]

How dare you use Mrs Jeff as click bait for rear end...... :)

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

You have seen through my clever ruse!

[@alexschmidt3692]

this bumper stuff seems like a nightmare to work out

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I got there in the end, but working with old damaged parts is difficult if you want a really neat result.

[@ProfessorOzone]

Good grief. You don't have a perfect body and you don't have a perfect bumper. How do you know how to make it right?
