Jock from Southport. My dad was a diesel fitter and growing up I can always remember him coming home with chunks out of his head. He had a Bobby Charlton hair style and it made it look worse. And then they invented bump caps. 😂

Have watched with anticipation since day 1. Very impressed. So close. Norm from Perth, Australia

When you use Gorilla glue I find if you wet the hardest surface first it works brilliantly.

Andy, years ago, when I worked on the AF flight line. We were required to wear a soft plastic hat. They called it a 'bump hat', get you one. 😊

[@andirt4]

I always wear a wooly hat in the winter and never hit my head then lol

[@marieriley3645]

You need a nice number plate for it and it's a credit to you and your right hand man looks amazing

[@andirt4]

Thanks 👍

I can't believe watching a bloke on the other side of the world shut a car door could be so satisfying. It typifies the quality of work on this project. Great stuff.

Thanks for your continued support and kind comments

He’s not on the other side of the world? He’s here in the Midlands! 🤣😂

Ouch... must of hurt, hope your good Andy... nearly there, next few weeks finishing touches, are you planning on big reveal on the channel before she (who has no name) travels to Poland - once at the show in Poland will you be dropping video's whilst your over there??? ... you are taking the car to Poland aren't you or am I dreaming - dusty or not she (with no name) still looks beautiful... can't wait to see her in the flesh....

[@andirt4]

I’m good mate thanks, going to drop another video this mid week and reveal video on Saturday 🤞🏻

That’s KZbin for you, makes everyone a gobby shit

I've been watching your build from the very start, buying the donor car and the gull wing kit must have been quite expensive. Since their purchase and excluding labour time the parts bill alone must add up to an horrific amount. Have you dared to sit down and tally up how much you have spent on the project to date. Finally would you tell er-in-doors how much it as cost you

[@andirt4]

I never add a project up or keep a tally, I just build it how it is in my head. If I watched the figures a lot of stuff would never get done

[@BarryRudge]

@@andirt4 I see you don't compromise on your build. The quality of the build so far is outstanding and way above average.

[@philtucker1224]

Could you either wear cleaner clothes, or cover that beautiful pale interior before it’s totally fuc*ed - Respect to the upholsterer lads! 🙏

[@andirt4]

It’s a garage Phil and we work so get dirty, it’s not wheeler dealers! The leathers fine and cleans if it gets dirty
