[@officialmysteriousrider130]

Del & Rodney said they are proud lee 😂 you gotta spray it yellow now with a trotters decel on the side 😂

[@JustbeingHayden]

Gotta be done

[@AaronCable-tf9tt]

Tit would probably be appropriate don't know if I can say that but I mean Rodney did about dels dream penthouse with the initials on the side mind you the vans got it in full.and then a blow up doll sticking out the back

[@siroberts6860]

Naah true rallysaki

[@AndrewDRSWilliamson]

That would be cool 😊

[@MartinRose-id6xu]

Completely the wrong car though :)

[@jamieb3039]

This is amazing! A roll cage and some strengthening to the floor etc and this would be epic! Please keep it on the channel it's the best build to date

[@1981dasimpson]

they is a full roll cage already in the relient from factory just not scene do the the fibre body i agree a frame needs meakinga nd a metal floor adding as they is no strngth now to the stock floor even if it just a frame from left side of chassy to the right side to hold the seat and other bits that need bracing

[@buggerlugz6753]

a roll cage is an essential item....I always remember as a kid on my BMX one Sunday playing in a tesco car park (the days when shops were closed) and these lads with a Robin were jazzing around the car park and of course they went and rolled it, and some 5 year old kid went up to them and told em "you crashed because you had a wheel missing mister!"

[@Yorks-em]

Absolutely brilliant lee, best project you’ve ever done, followed you since the early days and can’t wait to see the next project, well done, you should be proud 👍

[@eriknilelsen]

pllls take that women out of the car

[@Tinazzzz]

As an avid biker, i absolutely love this series mate! Keep up the work Lee!

[@fuzzymonkey84]

lol you need to pull the clutch in every time you change gear 😂

[@House-Metal-Punk-And-Your-Mom]

imagine having to explain this....

Not with a bike gearbox you don't!

[@twoeyedbob]

Not with a bike gearbox …if you are in the right rev range Which he unsurprisingly wasn’t . Even as a biker I suspect this would be tricky to change gear on ….especially on this disastrous creation

[@lukecowell1854]

Not on a bike you don't

[@fesleymedia]

One of the best videos you've made , like this style of vid, well done!!

[@beastman.330]

Why do people show 98% making and 2% driving. It should be 50/50 .

[@rokxan__]

that’s why i always seek to the driving parts

[@6.9LITRE-W16FAN.IsveryKool]

that's why i made it myself

[@Retrobeemer]

*Excellent. So glad you'll be MOT'ing the resin rocket!*

[@EVILGT]

Great video, great editing and highly entertaining 👌

[@markwat]

Dont be scared you young pup! Your race survived the Bloody Blitz !

[@MrLittledirector]

Absolutely brilliant! As both a biker and car enthusiast, this has definitely been my favourite series on your channel!

[@supocarta74]

In Tamworth they are everywhere....but it's where they was built.....yep I've got one to...😂

[@haraldgrundetjern2184]

looking forward to the MOT

[@CuriousGamer022]

U really think this would ever be road legal haha 😂

[@nitromad3662]

Depending on the age it might be tax and Mot exempt

[@wraith600original1]

Ide seriously think about having one if road legal ​@CuriousGamer022

[@TheGra325]

😂

[@eyespy1984]

Id definitely be thinking of an external roll cage if at all possibly. Would seem a shame not to be able run this animal to the limits but your safety first of course. Great work, 👍

[@GamingInTheFASTLANE]

Hope stays on the channel for a long time to come. Great content as always 👏

[@_LuisS]

This is proper determination. Every single video, with all the stuff that went wrong it's still got done.. If this doesn't inspire you to grab a wrench.. Nothing will.. 👍🏾 🤜🏾

[@Top_Drivez]

This is brilliant make, please spend the time tidying it all up, this is one of the best series on YT 👍👍

[@jordandee6071]

just remember clutch on shifting too! mental mate glad to see progress! and the ebc clutch is probably snappy too!

[@robs_rc_cars]

Awesome Lee lad absolutely brilliant fare play to ya.. can’t wait for next drive once safer to drive 👌👍🏻👊🏻

[@highrollerdecorators8059]

Absolute quality video man and a awesome build hats off sir 😎👌🏽

[@cur1ositeej]

It moves! This was so funny can't wait to see it get better and better 😂

[@paul_69]

utter brilliant mate get those gears sorted and your away lee you know it makes sense

[@thecrondogs]

Treat the clutch like a car clutch lad clutch on every gear else you'll fry it quick time lad sick that tho I'd bang some trolley wheels on front corners 😂

[@mrjed6912]

They would just break. Better to add a steel bar like on trikes.

[@Lee_Essex]

The video we all have been waiting for. Good stuff. Can’t believe you drilled the fuel line, luck you had some spare.

[@SimonWilliams-r5b]

Well that was definitely worth the wait!!! Fantastic effort 👌🏻.Say this every time but can’t wait for the next video!!!

[@drewzymac]

Great effort lad! The video we have all been waiting for!

[@Chris-HC]

Yes the pigs alive 😂 well done dude. You might want to upgrade that rear axel.. One from a MG Midget will bolt straight on.. You might also need the brakes 👊👊 keep up the good work.

[@reecejones3187]

Yeahhhh boy been waiting since the insta story for this one!!

[@JapsDmz]

You need a gear indicator...cheap as chips and a doddle to fit....and find a way to tie the engine, gear selecting and gear lever solid mounted to each other as they are on bikes.

[@GucciHughes]

This is fantastic, enjoyed this vlog, interested to see it whip fully and to see how you tidy it up a bit 💪🏻

[@notmanynamesleft]

Gonna be so funny when this machine is fine tuned 😂🤣👍🏼

[@BITTYBOY121]

Well done Lee - That was awesome ! - It just needs a little more work and it should make a great daily driver ! - You're a smart lad - I'm 100% Sure you'll sort it mate - Can't wait to see it in action in the next video ! - Delboy & Rodney will be so proud of you ! lol 👍👍👍

[@URBANconceptzmedia]

This is a quality build... Would love to see this properly kitted out to a decent spec! I'm loving watching this build!

[@timmynastics]

I hope you reinforced the mounts for the shocks…

[@jasonlevington6555]

Why did you use cables and not some solid arms to change gear

[@DaDa-David]

PMSL! Just AWESOME! well done fella, looking forward to more of this!!!!

[@colinblick8946]

Love how this is hilarious….a why wouldn’t it be😂😂……it’ll be great further down the line when you’ve sorted out the botch work😎👍🏼

Awesome job Lee I’ve loved the series 😊 can’t wait for the next one

[@simontoyer837]

So want to drive it ! Great work

[@DoubleA848]

Like waiting for Christmas as a kid. Been dying to see this Frankenstein move.

[@iStewy]

Eyyyyy finally, the catfish yesterday had me waiting till you uploaded this one haha. Class vid as always Lee

[@mrploppy73]

Awesome, I would get that clutch on a pedal, looks like you will have enough on your hands without having to think about the hand clutch

[@richardt.4224]

I'm 70 now, but I got my first reliant when I was sixteen when my parents tried to get me off motorcycles. I pissed them off and had both lol. In the end of my journey, I'd had three Supervans and two cars. In their day they were cheap. But they have a floor, they tip and roll over very easily, yep, I did that too. I think you would have been better turning the seat round and having two wheels at the front. My last three-wheeler was a Ranger Cub, I swapped it for a very hot BSA B50 bike which had a CCM engine in it. I blew the mini engine up in its first month, then took an engine out of an abandoned Riley Elf. The engine turned out to be a Mini Cooper 998cc with 10inch discs. It went like shit off a shovel. I wonder who has got it now?

[@jackedmondson12ify]

Come a long way after being sat on my mates driveway 😂 glad to see dug lives on!!

[@LincolnshireRose]

Mental but not the first Reliant bike engine swap i have seen. Good start, more work needed though. Good luck

[@pk93cov]

This for sure has the quickest 0 to A&e time on draggy😂

[@D.Daniels1990]

What a series bro 💪💪 Wishing you all the best!

[@leighmoss4693]

Once you get the gear lever mounted more securely and can get all gears id recommend getting a gear indicator so you know what gear your in. Listening to this makes me really miss my Westfield Megablade. It was so much fun on the road having 10k plus clutchless gear changes, flames out the exhaust.

[@Zooney12]

Rodney you plonker! Class mate definitelylook at making frame work stronger under the fiberglass for mounting the gear stick and the fiberglass shell... Great fun build....

[@MrBillyVlogs]

Mad Video Lee 👍

[@robertjackson4141]

It's absolutely barking and I want a go in it! 😂

[@j490tgm]

Mate I rarely comment! But man I cannot wait to see her finished!!!!🙏🙏 you are smashing these uploads

[@jaydables2199]

Loving this build!! you deffo need to weld in a sheet metal flooring of some kind to strengthen it all up

[@lewischafer3333]

Another Fantastic Vlogs ever 👌

[@waynelewis5656]

Makes no sense. Again

[@MrSausageT]

I think for safety, revision 2 should have a custom chassis/roll cage.

[@DM01710]

Cant wait too this all sorted and running smooth its gonna be crazy ! 🙂

[@Jordd3041]

This is unreal I just wanna see it go through some gears now ! 😂

[@ADI121195]

That’s going to be a beast needs a full roll cage welding into it and I’d definitely want 4 wheels 😂

[@Boost_junkies]

Can wait to see this thing on the road definitely one of your best projects even though it’s one massive bodge job 😂

[@831motov]

Use the clutch when u change gear bro 😂

[@mcblaze1986]

The build the excitement is just prime e example of how us blokes are so easy to please and will never grow up

[@hoost3056]

All I knew when Reliant and bike engine combine some crazy Englishman was gonna flip it. Please cause carnage.

[@s1_vbe]

Just fine tune it and it will be amazing.. great video but really waiting for the e30 videos

[@GaragE36uk]

Love the pace you get videos out, not waiting months for progress like my videos lol.

Hey #KZbin thanks a bug for dropping this video as recommend....just by watching this video....i was having the blast😂....looks so much, its the driver who has having full oriented FUN...lol...keep up the fun stuff coming ...mate.....

I always thought you were a sandwich short of a picnic mate. You have proved me 💯💯💯 right 😂😂😂

[@LG23223]

So is that it ? Taking it on the true rally tour ? 😂🤩

[@h3ntaihunt3r]

That would be pure laughs 😂😂😂

[@itsleelockwood]

is that it in terms of the build? no way.. we couldn't even go that fast! just wait

[@LG23223]

No I mean now it’s running and you know you’re onto a winner, is that a candidate on true rally 😂

[@williamwilliams8145]

In case you don't know most Kawasaki motorcycles have a positive neutral, if you put it in 1st gear and the prop shaft isn't turning it won't select 2nd it will only go into neutral. The prop shaft will have to be turning for it to go into 2nd. I thought i'd mention it in case you sort out the gear linkage and then spend ages trying to figure out why it won't go into 2nd gear when it's standing still.@@itsleelockwood

[@getsetgarden]

Fantastic! It's ridiculously funny and awesome at the same time! Reminded me of Mr. Bean 😃

[@suzukigsxs1306]

Amazing video again lee

[@crazybrit-nasafan]

This is batshit crazy. And totally, insanely awesome.

[@Synthetic-Chicken]

Cant wait to see a steel balled effort driving this thing haha

[@lexyk6574]

The engine is not lacking power that's for sure. When this thing shifts, you're gonna shit yourself 🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelworthington4454]

Cool, love it. Hope you do get it roadworthy 👍

[@jacquesb5248]

crazy! that things gonna fly when its done!

[@ste1872]

Great work well done m8 you'll get it done bit at a time 💯👍🏻

[@campervanzoso]

Well done. Now take it to Melbourne dragway near York, with all the other weird stuff. A guy there races a garden shed with an Audi V8 engine. Not kiddin'. 😅

[@davidjowett8195]

Try using the 'working' clutch when you change gear, you'll find it works so much better........

[@DrBrule-ju6qb]

Please never touch my car or bike 😂

[@thatcrazyguyjay]

Lee bro love it 😊 I remember helping my mates brother do a crazy build like this and that was when I was only 16 lol but we used an old YZ 490 engine and boy it was crazy fun lol I’m sure he still has the robin also lol But awesome video mate love it lol 😝👍👊

[@DanGibbon]

Yes Lesley..top man.. bring on the on Drifting. Doughnuts an Wheeliez.. 😂💯🔥👊

[@1981dasimpson]

from looking at gear selection the shift cable needs bracing to the same metal that the selector lever is on and the engine side needs bracing to the engine mount brace that should stop the play would be very easy to do a foot clutch to swap the forwed for up gear flip the gear selector on the engine so the arm is at top rather then bottom this will reverse the selection and make it more what your used to even tho i think forwed for faster backward for slower makes more sense

[@mihadelalic9245]

WOW, this build is just amazing 😂😂...but please pull the clutch everytime you shift 🙏🙏🙏

[@tylerkelly4906]

Awesome video lee mate , was buzzing myself just to see it moving on it own accord thought it was never coming to an end 😮😂💯 , maybe instead of stalling it all time just use the kill switch less strain on everything then but none the less awesome video😅

[@DontbesoStupidnick]

Superb, well done lee

[@paul_69]

this time next year lee you'll be a millionaire or a mechanic lol

[@x66Hawk66x]

I traded my reliant for a new car last week, missing it already. my next one will be a bike build for sure.

[@jhynton95]

Need new reliant seats 😂 love seeing the build sounds great

[@statagerz]

Now thats freaking sketchy!! I like it :)

[@F0rdy57]

Place the cable in a pipe lad. Copper pipe is easy to bend and won’t let the cable flex. Saves drilling anymore plates and can be attached to the base of the gear lever.

[@lushkha]

Bros tired of being bullied by mr bean.. and now he made a glow up 💀

[@falxuan3614]

The Mr.Beam have a minicooper too, right?

[@totalutternutter]

Motorbike gearboxes are so precise you don't need the clutch, to change up a gear just preload the gear lever and it will find the next gear itself as soon as you back off the throttle. to downshift, preload the lever and blip the throttle.

[@rods24]

This is epic!!!! Have you seen that one doing hill climbing? its got a cbr1000 engine, wide rear arches, fatter rear wheels, big spolier and looks pretty low. Sounds brillaint

[@billnye142]

That is awesome! Only issue is are you not worried plod might turn up when you do these projects? Someone on that busy industrial estate is probably snotty enough to report you. If a copper saw that thing on the road (even in that industrial estate, private land or not, still a "public place") I think he'd have a fit and throw the book at you! Bastards 🤣 I only mention it as I've had the same thing happen to me - on an industrial estate, while testing my just nearly finished noisy motorbike project just up a few yards and back. Didn't even question me as it clearly wasn't complete, threw me in the back of their car and done me for no insurance.

[@martinfennell4986]

loving it Lee, well done mate..

[@thenaughtyhusky7903]

Great project so far but seriously need to invest a roll cage and wheelie bars then it'll be fine 😆

[@306hdipug]

Wow I’ve just laughed so hard 😂😂 makes me want to build one but with a reliant kitten it was the same but with four wheels . It’s sounds wicked I would want to take it out n race everybody lol 👌

[@markpriebe525]

Would be good to make a floor pan for the front welded to the chassis with shifter peddle box seat bolted to that ant cut more of the floor out on the body to suit. You could even hinge the body at the back so it lifts up drag style

[@casperandthebeast5780]

When you finally get it on the road you will probably need outriggers to stop it from falling over round corners lol!
