I totally agree with rotisserie & not having roll around on the floor. Makes more sense.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

It’s such a great thing for sure 👍

[@GT.Bugger]

The amount of times I clear tools away only for them to end up a mess out again is crazy lol. It's amazing how much equipment you need to do even the smallest jobs. Making good progress.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah it’s mad isn’t it. But like you say you need all these tools even for the smallest of jobs. Cheers for watching 👍

[@Retrorides7850]

I need to get better at welding. You make restoring cars look easy 😄

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Nothing with minis is ever easy 🤣 thanks though buddy I guess it’s all practice and I have a lot of rusty cars in my time 🤦‍♂️

[@dinxsy8069]

Those electric power file sanders saved my behind on my civic resto, was so many areas i couldn't get to in the inner rear arch rebuilds, didn't want to fork out the money for a decent sized compressor. Don't know what belts you buy but i highly recommend 'Norton' brand on eBay last a very long time and takes some abuse

[@SimpsonsClassics]

They are a great little tool aren’t they I haven’t tried those belts but I will give them a go I seem to rattle through the cheaper unbranded belts. Cheers for watching

[@ryanharriss7950]

Not sure if I missed something here but the rear panel looks quite reasonable, i take it you're replacing due to some rot? * you mentioned it is bent in previous vid doh!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hi yes if you check back to some previous videos the lower part of the back panel was all gone along the edge where it meets the floor. So a new panel is needed as there is a fair about of rust along the top window seam to 👍

[@ryanharriss7950]

@@SimpsonsClassics yeah, I watched previous vid and edited. Looking sweet so far. 👍

[@SimpsonsClassics]

@@ryanharriss7950 thanks buddy cheers for watching

Coming along nicely, good and strong, it always takes time but looking at the standard you’ve worked-to with your previous builds, I know it will be a peach when it’s completed. (I also love that colour so will it be kept?) 👍🇬🇧

@@philtucker1224 thanks Phil. It’s certainly getting there slowly. Yes the colour nightfire red is staying with a gloss black roof.
