Austin ten special 'Rat' ......'The Rover 14 Hp and the list'

[@tedayer1823]

I absolutely love the way you take bits of metal and make them look like factory. And my wife wonders why I save all sorts of metal bits. Keep up the great work - I love it.

[@oakswamp]

cheers mate....they are precious things hahahahah

[@jimwhittemore1610]

Man you cover a lot of territory in your videos, much appreciated and inspiring!

[@oakswamp]

thanks Jim ...its as my week goes!!

[@stephenpickering9831]

Another cinematic masterpiece. The fact that all the boring bits are (skillfully)edited out makes it all highly entertaining. The newly arrived project looks very interesting, with a bucket load of potential. Why not shove the (in stock) 2 litre Triumph engine into it and save all the agro of "monkeying around" with a gutless old 1940's lump which will clatter and bang and probably register about 5psi old pressure when the sun comes out! Just a thought. Keep these Vlogs coming, they make life bearable.

[@oakswamp]

cheers as always Steve! i have had that very thought regards triumph 6 ....jurys out for the minute, frame was too cheap to pass up !

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Your smile says it all when your driving the rat - stay safe

[@oakswamp]

its really fun to drive, so responsive but with that notices all the bumps and pot holes ...cheers Frank

Perfect viewing for a Sunday morning, Bri! Sod the pension, live life now and enjoy it. You’re a long time dead as they say. Where’s this lovely plasma cutter your mate bought you! Surprised to see you’re still hacking away with the grinder! Top tunes this week as well! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and spend some money on she who must be obeyed!😂

[@90FF1]

If and when Bri uses the plasma, please keep it off screen. It's the brute force grinder and hammer approach that sets these video builds apart from others. ♥It.

[@paulwhiteman3625]

@@90FF1 yep, couldn’t agree more!

[@oakswamp]

cheers Paul...ah the plasma....yes that is in the pipe line ....i have to cut down on noise lads

[@MrGunPilot]

Love it. The tunes kick it up a notch too.

[@oakswamp]

cheers dude!

[@clarkmarkey1498]

The 10 is such a sweet little ride. That truck driver song has a Monster Magnet vibe to it. Good stuff! The Rover 14 HP chassis looks like something that needs to be exposed, naked to the world in all of its prewar tech glory.

[@lenkowalyshen9571]

Nice job on the hanger bracket Brian. The old Rover look interesting .I just got my old Austin plated and back on the road as you say always something to do , my old Dynamo/genny going to need some brushes .But there you go man ,a guy with some knowing can fix his own car. Can't do that much with the modern stuff . Ever take apart one of those main switches /horn trafficator indicators ? pretty cool how they work and really simple and you can fix them. Love the show thanks from Victoria, BC

[@oakswamp]

cheers fella...this is why we do it , it keeps us tinkering ....the devil makes work for idle hands ....hahahah

[@ashleyjones7375]

I love this build. and Looking forward to the builds coming up. Especially the car hauler. Like the way u work. And the music is bang on. U are quickly becoming my favourite channel. U have inspired me shake off and crack on. After smashing the big C and finding out I'm gonna be a DAD I'd better crack on. Hang loose.😂

[@boydsargeant7496]

This is either the best bit of my weekend or I’m a sado! Another great vid! Loads of great cars and projects in your yard! I agree, KZbin has been good to you, given you the dosh to buy the projects and make more money off them. More money to take Sash on a nice day out in the rat!

[@oakswamp]

hahahahah thanks mate ...was a hell of a slug to get 1500 quid from yt but ...

[@spiderwebb4983]

@@oakswamp The 1st £100 is the hardest to earn, onwards and upwards with the YT income. By the way what happened to the plasma cutter you were supposed to buy from a kind donation from a schoolmate, John? from Oz? it would speed up fabrication and make life a little easier.

[@FlyingForFunTrecanair]

I saw a special built on a similar Rover chassis some years back. It looked good, the builder had moved the engine and gearbox back and had the radiator in line with the front axle. 🙂

[@oakswamp]

yes to get the 20's look thats a must ....

[@StevenStratford]

Cheers for another top episode..look forward to everyone you put out..cheers,helene and Steve..

It's funny seeing the exact same gearbox on that rover as you got on series land rovers right up to the eighties

[@oakswamp]

haha when i took the grill off thats exactly what it looked like!!

[@shaunsheep8252]

Just binge watch all your videos, absolutely love the Rat, and the plans for the other chassis cars. I’m slowly collecting parts for a pre war special build once my spitfire is finished haha Keep up the great content and it’s so refreshing watching a video that’s not over edited (like the odd swear word etc, that’s normal life) If I may just have one negative (although it’s getting better lol) is some of your earlier videos the camera moves around too much, was making me dizzy, hope you don’t mind the only negative comment I have, other than that I love the content. If you ever fancy taking a road trip this way let me know, we have some old cars here you can check out. Just been over to buy two t-shirts, love the design . Thanks again, regards Shaun in Belgium P.s. love the outtakes too, so funny

[@oakswamp]

thanks mate.....and thanks for pointing that out , hope its better now....its all a learning curve....just trying to keep it real
