[@robertamor3203]

a hour is a good video you are doing very good work carry on do it right and tight

[@dhes2809]

Easily my fav channel on KZbin this. Honest hard working lad doing it for the love. Not the money. Another great video pal.

[@key2dalo]

Heard of bad obsession motorsport? Aka project binky?

[@Tdevil86]

Who hasn’t heard of binky, that’s a project and a half! Mad skills and great content, it’s a shame there’s so much down time between videos, I’d watch those guys all day long!

[@Tdevil86]

You’re to kind man, I won’t deny, abit of money would help, this things going to cost a fortune with everything I want to do to it, I need a lottery win really lol

[@gazman5980]

Brilliant content....

[@johnsutherland8239]

Loved every minute pal , didn’t realise the episode was nearly finished, was engrossed 👍

[@Tdevil86]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Lavoro fantastico,ottimo progetto!

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

the longer the better Tel....dont be shy!!!!

[@Tdevil86]

I thought folk would prefer shorter videos to be honest but it seems pretty unanimous, everyone commenting likes the longer videos so il carry on as I am until anything chamges 👌🏼

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

@@Tdevil86 excellent tel. Looking forward to the next one mate.

[@chrisb8416]

Normally I wouldn't entertain content over 20 minutes or so, but I really get into your videos. Glad to see them back in my feed... keep up the great work!

[@Tdevil86]

I always question myself on what I put out but it’s been great seeing the comments and people saying they’re enjoying it, despite all my waffling lol

[@trickydickydoudlebug]

Don't worry about vid lrength - just get the work done and film what you film! Your metal working is amazing - fair play to ya. Gonna be a proper sorted beast when it's finished!

[@Tdevil86]

I do hope so mate, just need a bigger bank balance to suit my big ideas now 😂

[@glennvinicombe1668]

Keep it up long is good finishing each patch / stage is better 👌👍

[@patsgaragehnx]

Hi Terry you should drill for draining holes in your jacking point. Otherwise, the inside rounded dimple will stop water from draining

[@Tdevil86]

Yeh already on it mate, completely forgot about drainage while making and installing that piece, I’m going to lop a few mm off the corners for drainage

[@gsxr713]

The floor looks amazing people are going to be copying that very nice

[@julias-shed]

End of sill panel looks really good and jacking point is really smart 😀 cling film is good to stop the paint stripper drying out.

[@Tdevil86]

I’m going to give that a go when I start stripping it down properly, apparently putting cling film in the freezer for 5mins makes it way easier to unravel aswel

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Always good to see ya Tel...you're not half cracking on boy! Keep her lit!!!! Regards from the emerald isle mate.

[@robmoot]

Enjoying the progress mate! top work around that suspension pick up point!

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you mate!

[@-Astro--]

Terry seen you had uploaded and knew my night watching was sorted 👍(edit) whatever suits you but 100% longer is better

[@Tdevil86]

I’ll carry on as I am then, hopefully keep uploads every fortnight 👌🏼

[@michaelhodgson3833]

Good lad Terry !!, as ever, thanks for sharing 👍

[@Tashmann]

Great job, we will watch the vids how ever long they are. Love the content.

[@Tdevil86]

I appreciate that!, il keep going as I have been then 👌🏼

[@theturbojoe]

Loving it mate. Keep it just like it is.

[@stuarttyson6824]

I liked your longer Episode 16. Fingers crossed, you will eventually complete this project - I'm saying this because I was following another KZbinr who has started at least 2 similar crazy conversions and stopped before completion!

[@Tdevil86]

Oh this will get done, it’ll obviously have to slow down from time to time while I gather money together for parts etc but i will see this through! I was wanting to do this for 3yr before finally pulling the trigger, I won’t willingly give up on it!

[@stephengirling7859]

I think your attitude and application are brilliant Terry. I watch many metal fab videos and that's some of the best 'never done this before' work i've seen for many years. Power to you mate.

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you sir, that’s very kind! I’m loving this metal work stuff and I just want to get better and better at it!

[@paulriggers1558]

your workmanship is at restoration level, not just "playing in my garage for fun" quality, like the rest of us... probably ok, but do you have clearance for the handbrake cables with those jack-boxes... a 1hr episode at tea-time is bad for me, i easily fall asleep after my tea [because i am old] 2 consecutive nights at 30mins, after tea-time is good, but please go with the majority keep up the excellent work young man !

[@Tdevil86]

Lol, you’re only as old as you let yourself feel Paul, I’m 37 in a couple of weeks and I fall victim to the sofa at given moment these days lol I can’t remember where the hand brake cable ran now, I think it was down the tunnel but worst case, il reroute them if needs be, I want to make a flat floor at some point so everything will need to be tucked or run inside the car anyway…

[@alexcox1103]

Mate you do you 💪 also you need to stop thinking your not good at this because your easily as good as most metal fab guys out there and it’s great to see how far you have come on

[@jonathanpounsett4875]

My thoughts exactly. There are loads of “professionals” who could learn a lot from your work.

[@Tdevil86]

Stop it, you’ll make me blush lol I always second guess everything I ever do mate, I find it makes me work harder and there’s always room for improvement!

[@Tdevil86]

That’s very kind mate thank you!

[@alexcox1103]

@@Tdevil86 we really must stop flirting like this in public 🤣 better get a move on, already waiting for the next episode

[@Tdevil86]

Lol you love it really 😘🤣 already on it chap, should be some replica progress coming soon aswel, be nice to get on with that one abit, dreading the rust though haha

[@medievilassassin]

Great work mate

[@trevorwoods2580]

Another great video Terry and so amazing work done there. That's going to be some car when your done with it. Fair play to you.

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks Trevor, I’m praying for a lotto win atm so I can start buying all the parts I want for this thing, it’s going to get expensive real quick 😅

[@nigeltrigger4499]

Great work! This is going to be a very cool car!

[@michaeljones736]

Absolutely love what you’re doing, long episodes or short episodes makes no difference to me! Just keep em coming! Peace! 🤘

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you buddy, il do my best to stay consistent with uploads, need to come into some money so I can start buying stuff to keep the flow going though lol

[@jonathanpounsett4875]

As mentioned by others you must see this project through. I’ve unsubscribed from those that start a fantastic project and ditch it as soon as it gets too hard or something else comes along. I think you inspire others to have a go or keep them motivated on their own project but I also think your content will be enjoyed by plenty of people without the skills you clearly possess or those like me who are too old or tired to take something like this on. Keep it up!

[@Tdevil86]

Ah, you’re never to old to get stuck into a good project mate, it’s a good way to keep active and keep the mind occupied 👌🏼 This will thing will get done though, I will slow down now and again but that’ll only be down to money constraints while saving for the next bit… Unfortunately I’m just a normal guy that doesn’t have a huge bank balance, but if I could afford to, I’d be down the workshop full time cracking on with this and other projects!

[@NicksGarageUk]

Coming on really well pal,, you want to cut and Butt when your putting panels together.. so much easier to join especially if you can get to both sides,,, really need to get that bead roller electric,, honestly it’s a game changer 👍🏻👍🏻. Great work,, you inspire me to crack on with mine

[@Tdevil86]

I’d love to get a motor on the bead roller, it’s just finding time to do it and finding the motor etc, I also need to brace it aswel, iv noticed it flex’s a good bit while trying to do anything 👎🏻 How you getting on with yours? You was doing the mk4 on mx5 on Facebook wasn’t you?

[@NicksGarageUk]

I am mate,, I have the build o. Here,, i literally dropped it on its wheels yesterday for the first time and had the rear wheels spinning,, miles off but a massive boost👍🏻

[@Tdevil86]

Ideal man, well done, I bet that was a great feeling!! I’m soooo far off that point yet but I can wait until I finally get there! I think I may have watched a couple of your videos actually, it’s a purple colour mk4 isn’t?

[@notoldclassic3007]

Top fab work !!!! coming along really well ,vids go quick dont seem like an hour keep em coming

[@shaungreen3949]

Definitely more longer ones 100% and at least 1 a week would be awesome

[@Tdevil86]

A video a week isn’t feasible for me atm I’m afraid mate, I’d like to but being a self employed plumber, husband and dad I have limited time to spare down the workshop each week, doing metal work is very time consuming aswel, especially while trying to film it… Maybe one day though, if I ever start earning a decent bit from KZbin, I can work less and spend more time down the workshop tinkering and filming 😬

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

This should be a tv show it’s a really brilliant unusual and interesting project and your a great host Terry I’m really enjoying this build your metalwork skills are incredible to some of those parts you fashioned out of flat sheet were brilliantly done . I personally enjoy the longer videos to . Nice one dude looking forward to the next one 👍

[@Tdevil86]

Why thank you kind sir, as a friend said though, iv definitely got more of a face for radio than video though lol Plenty more to come on this old girl and plenty more metal work to figure out yet 😬

[@maxakarudy]

Great work Terry, keep it up. With regard to the last pieces you made, if you had cut a piece of metal slightly oversized & used 3 of the bolt holes for the radius arm to clamp it in place, you could have hammered the metal into shape around the existing panel, before cutting it out. Also if you have Mapp gas, you could've heated the metal up to shape into that tricky bit. You're welcome👍

[@Tdevil86]

That’s a good shout with the mapp gas and I keep plenty of stock in my van for work so I may have a go at that technique if I need to do a similar piece👌🏼 shaping that piece over the top would have been sooooo much easier doing it that way haha good work out though doing it on the bench 😂

[@neilfairless4589]

Terry, with it being a track based car, do you need to put those holes back into the floor pan? or can you just get rid of them and fix the rot issue for good. You may need a drain hole in your jack box as well. Looking great though marra.

[@Tdevil86]

Ideally I want it to still be road car aswel if I can get away with it so just trying to cover all bases really, and with how rot both these car wer I want to get rust prevention in every nook and cranny as possible lol and yes, I need to take the corners off the jack box at some point for drainage, doing the inward dimple die was an after thought and then forgot all about drainage if I’m honest lol

[@jambo141]

I do this for a living and I would give you a job anytime, excellent work my friend !

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you mate, I don’t envy you guys that do this stuff for a living, I’d be buggered if I had to work to a schedule, it’s challenging doing this stuff man!

Love watching this channel, your fabrication skills are brilliant in my opinion, can’t wait to see what this is going to look like when it’s finished ? Keep up the great work mate 👍🏻

Good effort, Terry.

Just found the channel and watched the series. Man for someone who has not done allot of this before you sure have bossed it out lol. Looks amazing what you have done so far.

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks man, Iv surprised myself with how much Iv managed to get done and how well it’s come together so far, having the right attitude going into each piece goes a long way I think, if you don’t you set yourself up for failure

[@stephenhill5514]

Great episode bud quite happily watch the longer episodes Great work as always loving the project 😎😎

I’m quite surprised everyone’s keen for the longer episodes, I thought all the comments was going say shorter ones but il keep going with the longer one until further notice👌🏼 thanks for the support man, it’s appreciated!! 🍻

[@doctorx8467]

I love the long vids man, seeing the processes right through is excellent content, keep it up man

[@Tdevil86]

I’m glad you’ve said that, I’m always on the fence while editing as to wether I should trim clips down, I’m never sure if it’s too much and becomes boring to watch, but based on all the comments, you guys are happy to see it so I’ll keep posting it, I want to try and do more to explain what I’m doing aswel but I tend to go off on a tangent of waffle lol

[@lestercranmer2631]

I find Black CO2 fire extinguishers are a good emergency backup when you run out of welding gas, has the same fitting too.

I never even thought about that before but that’s a good shout, il have to look into that!

You and me both mate, it won’t be a sleeper though, I can’t wait until I get onto the exterior stuff so I can share my vision with everyone, it may divide opinions though haha

[@rudolfopadilla535]

Great job on the metal work, if you want to remove the paint better then put the paint remover on and then plastic wrap over the area. This should help remove more paint.

[@Tdevil86]

A few people have said that, I’m going to give it a go when I attempt to strip down the entire car, hopefully I can get it all down to bare metal in a single strike with that covering trick 🤞🏻

Yeh I definitely need to brace it, considering how thick the steel is I was surprised how much it moves!

The feedback from the videos gives me the motivation/energy if I’m honest, that and the fact I’m thoroughly enjoying metal work and learning how to get over problems, it’s really rewarding looking back on a finished piece knowing you’ve just done that, it’s very addictive! Lol even the editing process, iv surprised myself with how much I’m enjoying that aswel, all in all, so far it’s been a great experience! Definitely helps being able to enjoy what you’re doing in my opinion.

[@key2dalo]

I cant remember the episode but the bad obsession guys had the same issue with one of them rollers so automated it, i think with an old starter motor but could be wrong. Would be worth checking out how they did that.

[@kiddlesk]

No gloves! What's that paint stripper like on bare skin? Back in my mis-spent youth with Nitromors even the tiniest splatter would sting like a hornet and god forbid you got a large splosh on a bare arm or leg.

[@Tdevil86]

No gloves to hand at the time unfortunately, I did take precautions though and had a can of brake cleaner ready to blast off any I may have got on my hands, followed by our sink just round the corner… I get alsorts on my hands daily anyway being a plumber lol
