Is this V12 Jaguar the Type 00 from a parallel universe?

[@angeloshanahan6239]

Richard, you are epic buddy

[@robbell4339]

Love the “ copy something” statement at the end showing the E-type 👍😁

[@1950dcs]

Having done a bit of upholstery in my time, I really enjoy Richard’s pieces. I’d love to see the finished Consul Capri! But meanwhile I’ll look forward to watching him at a trade he clearly loves, and describes in that delightful Sarth Efrican accent.

[@kuyper]

29:36 Next to George's Hotwheels car on the shelf: green Berocca multi-vitamin tube FTW! :) Good stuff! I buy it whenever I'm in the UK or South Africa, as it's unobtanium in the USA (afaik)

[@forsh3546]

So many epic, epic builds in the works but Churchill has my heart! ❤ The extent of the body mods but still looks sooo factory and the hints of the interior now coming through - Can't wait to see it develop!

[@nicboyes7118]

Richard's point about the durability of the MB rubberised coconut hairs at 51.26 is on point. Totally bad for the environment if it goes in landfill, so totally apt for re-use - well done 👏

[@chrispy104k]

14:37 - I have never been a fan of K&N filters. From my experience, they simply do not remove fine dust particles as effectively as the OEM paper filters. But..... each to their own. Stu's work is just amazing. He is a class act.

[@pinchus34]

I mean no offense but Marc is easily my favorite part currently..."No nasty comments or I'll send the boys around..." Hilarious.

That 2002 is such a cool looking car. Sounds good too.

[@GuyChapman]

It was an instant classic the day it rolled off the line. The upgrades are great, suits it to modern tastes, but the 2002 is just perfect.

[@gazzafloss]

Loved the parting shot at the new Jaguar regime, even though its in reference to something that Sir William had allegedly said a long time back, most appropriate.

[@David_Walker16-3-51]

Excellent work, particularly enjoyed Marc’s paint shop presentation and Richard’s trim work. Funny watching the Mercedes seat bit, I worked for an MB dealership in the 80’s ( mostly trucks) the managers got a W123 as a company car and the big bosses got a W126 or a G Wagen. The thing that struck me most with MB seats that they were supportive but not comfortable. A bit like they were sprung with a sheet of plywood. If you had what we referred to as “a Bergermeister’s bum” they were fine, but any body less portly would roll about a bit. The W124 was much better.

[@micheltebraake7915]

Fantastic work by the entire team!

[@-MacCat-]

Thank Retropower team.

[@ralphmillais5237]

That 2002 is such a desirable car, but I have to say the "turbo" script would trigger my OCD!

[@RalphHancock]

Since it's now naturally aspirated, you could change the label to 'aspo'. Or even 'asbo' which would express the spirit of the car. Looks as if some painting will be needed anyway, as there's rust bubbling through behind one of the front wheels and I know you will be aching to deal with it.

[@Danger_mouse]

4:29 A great filter that works well, is cheap and readily available is the oiled paper filter from a Honda Integra. They have a 3" outlet, breathe well and don't require cleaning and oiling. I ran one on my Bluebird Turbo rally car in dry , dusty Australia and never had any bypass issues.

I was in college when I was replacing a tail light bulb in my E type when I realized the bumpers were merely a trim piece. Bolted to the body sheet metal and nothing else.

[@colinhare4722]

Plasticity is an excellent CAD package not just for surfacing but for general use also. Use it all the time having used Catia for many years. My top tip would be to get familiar with the short cut keys. Make sure you get the NURBS option.

[@mccash264]

Stunning little BMW, great music for pan around. How do you register the cars you build with licensing authority, can it retain its plate or does require a modified plate? More road tests please.

Fascinating; love the work you are doing. What are the finished vehicles classed as by the DVLA ? Can't be classic anymore, so heavily modified. Is there a tax (VED) for this kind of mod, or is each project individually assessed?

[@timgriffiths2505]

Quartic steering wheels. 1959 Plymouth Fury had one, so I imagine some other Mopar stuff did? Not sure when they introduced them though, but Scott from Cold War Motors 59 Fury has one.

[@ianalderton6683]

you are all great, but, as you know; a 'good' trim guy is gold dust- congratulations : )

[@ivoman7]

For a center console, consider 'hydrographics' (hydro dipping) if you want to just change the surface but keep enough room for buttons to plug back in. 👍

[@timc5969]

They’ve done that before, making aluminium sheet look like walnut trim.

[@rocklover7437]

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Most of the full restomod builds are 5-6 figures (excluding the original cost of the car). Most of their clientele’s either older people splashing their life savings, or top 1% wealth level people with collections of 6-7 figure cars.

[@stephenbennett3330]

Hi, in Australia if wewere to attempt such radical builds as the SAAB we would have to have an independent Engineer certify all aspects of the build during the build before it could be registered and the paper work lives with the car. What is the process in the UK?

[@paullawrence3541]

Question With the older cars like the Aston and E type, do they need an MOT or any other testing when you have completed the resto mod? They would be exempt in their original form but does that still apply once you have completed them? Paul

[@rocklover7437]

Electric Classic Car channel latest video was having a moan about your work not having to be checked by a Gvmnt body that his conversion's get checked by , although he was very complimentary of your workmanship .

[@giles133]

I suppose it's because they're changing the vehicle's fuel type. I expect RP have to have many of their cars IVA tested when there's significant structural alterations

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about, pretty much every retro power build is IVA tested. The reason they end up back on their original plates is because the owners transfer the plate onto a retainer, and it’s possible to put a reg that makes a car look older on a car, but if you look them up on the MOT check, they come up as “2023 retropower” etc

[@rocklover7437]

@Jonathan_Doe_ cool info

[@ianm2719]

Just a thought, on the SAAB - do you factor in rear crumple zones on redesigned chassis leg extensions?

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

It’s 3 inches of extension, it’s not really going to affect how the chassis legs crumple. It’ll be safer than the original Saabs body shell folding up like a biscuit tin anyway.

I don't get it. Plasticity is a toy. If you want a CAD package that can handle components, assemblies and is better for surface modeling than Fusion, just get a Solidworks license and be done with it. It may not be its specialty, but all the basic tools for manual class-a surface work are there. Or try Rhino.

Why put a V12 engine in when a v6 turbo is more efficient and more powerful ??? They already proved that with the XK220. That was going to use a v12 but used a V6 with turbos.
