[@Loekie-de-leeuw]

Unbelievable craftsmanship. I just do not want to know how much this has costs, but I love that you spend it on a car that you genuinely love instead of a modern run-of-the-mill supercar.

[@joshuakhaos4451]

Its a pretty extensive restoration, Those are never cheap, especially with cars that you cant really get parts for easily. But there is just something about doing custom body work to keep an old car on the road or get it back on the road like it was new. Way more worth the money than running out to buy the newest piece of eye candy.

[@lebojay]

I wouldn’t mind knowing what it costs. My wild guess is around US$50-60k for the bodywork resto; mechanicals would be on top of that. Just my guess. Maybe $100k all-in? What do you think?

[@robinfoster7597]

It's the actual car that turned Harry into a "petrol head"!

[@superchickensoup]

@@lebojay a good paint job costs about 20-30k, Project Binky's paint job was a 30k paint job, but that is a real fancy paint job especially for a classic mini. This had lots of bodywork done that could easy be 20k so my guess is bodywork and paint £50k, engine is extra . Lucky for us harry normally tells us the costs at the end

[@MrBillUp]

His Jag cost around £60K to restore, so at a guess I would think around £45K

That gentleman working the steel truly is a national treasure, what an incredible artisan.

[@shorehambeach]

It’s Sunday. It’s Harrys garage. Perfect 👍

[@colinnuttall9579]

Yes, I agree entirely. These men are artisans, they know metal and how it behaves. They don’t need drawings or CAD. They are intimately attuned to metal, probably at atomic level. We would be insane to lose the skills these men possess. They need some interested young people in there, training at the masters elbow, as it were. Love it. And I’ve loved and lusted after a Fulvia zagato

[@dreammfyre]

They’ve literally made a whole new chassis at this point lol. Proper craftsmen.

[@professorcalculus5315]

Indeed, I did wonder though does the extent of the work diminish the value as less of the original car is left? Or does the quality of the work override this? Hopefully the latter for Mr Metcalfe! 🙏

The body was basically filler. Never seen so much filler in a car. Amazing result

[@jasonleedham5678]

Hmm, I think that KZbin saved this car. It was financially a waste of money for an individual. Do I need to say that I won’t be asking Harry to check out my next purchase! Every one of his cars that ends up in the hands of a specialist turns out to have been fundamentally crocked when he bought it! Watch Ian Tyrell riding in his Miura that he took in with a minor problem “Let’s stop now and go straight back to the workshop!”

This is addictive watching , when an old guy like that goes into semi retirement ( well deserved ) I do wonder who on earth can replace his skills ?

[@ourfarmhouseinspain]

A fair assessment. The problem with any skill of this type is that it takes years to master, requiring constant stroking to maintain and improve it. Most importantly it doesn't deliver any rewards within two weeks and can't compete with the smartphone calling for attention since it was put down three minutes ago.

[@K1lostream]

@@budbud2509 They’re getting rarer, but the skills are still out there. Mass-production has pushed down demand for it and stuff like 3d printing is doing the same - but there will always be enough demand to keep the trade alive. Bit like some people still have thatched roofs so there are still thatchers.

[@amaxxio]

What a perfect craftmanship! Good to know, that this is possible in these days! Cheers from Germany

[@ianworley8169]

That steel tailgate is an absolute work of art. So glad Adrian was able to fabricate it, rather than use fibreglass. You could tell by Adrian's face in earlier episodes, he wasn't at all happy at the idea of that. Going to the extreme efforts they have to hand build and restore the car so far, you can perfectly understand why. Much as I love the Jaguar restoration, this Zagato really is on another level all together. An Italian masterpiece. Thank you so much for going to such extraordinary lengths. Repaint the car in the original colour scheme, please.

[@lkajiess]

I took 3 years of auto body classes in high school and couldn't be more impressed with these guys. Just a stupefying amount of work, care and skill to bring the Lancia to this level.

Proper skills! the majority have been lost in this world cause of quicker processes fibre glass etc. As a time served aircraft fitter its great to see someone still a master of the English wheel 😎.

This was already a pretty staggering transformation, but with bodywork as finely fettled as that it's surely going to be one of the very best examples in existence. The chaps really are metal magicians!

[@thomaschetwood6249]

The craftsmanship that has gone into the restoration of both the bodywork and the engine of this little Lancia is phenomenal. But I think it is also worth acknowledging the value of the videos Harry has made documenting this whole process. They will surely add significantly to enthusiasts' interest in this particular car in future and, for what it's worth, its monetary value. It is great to know that such metal-working craftsmanship exists and to be able to see its results (i.e. the finished car), and even better to have recorded and replayable evidence of the craftsmen and the work they do in action that the average Joe (and Joanne) can see on KZbin. What a project!

I learnt these fundamental sheet metal techniques as an apprentice from the age of 16 until 20 years old. We even made our own tool boxes, many hand tools like specialists tool makers clamps using only hand files. This was the test to see if you could do it. I eventually went to Art School and became a Sculpturer and Installation Artist. Sadly I hand no one interested to pass on these skills. When I watch KZbin videos of everyone using a cutting disks and using buckets of filler it makes me want to cry.

Sheet metal master workers! To see how one of them worked the manual pressing roller with such grace in the to and fro rhythm demonstrated the complete authority he has over sheet metal working. Beautiful work. The completed car has geometrically perfect roundnesses in the Fulvia surfaces. It may not be even geometrically perfect, but the overall effect is beautiful because it reflects the natural rhythm of hand metal working and the rhythms of the human mind. Marvellous.

[@Strike86]

Adrian is a master. I just can't fathom how anybody can be this talented at making body panels. I've never even seen or heard of anybody else making a complete replica tailgate panel from scratch to this standard. Conventional wisdom in car circles says it's not possible - either buy a used part or a replica made of composites. Very much looking forward to seeing Sam's handiwork with the paint too.

[@WilfredZweverink]

Sam is really working metal miracles, I've learned some basic metal work, and did quite a bit of body work, stretching, patching, welding and all that, but it only makes me realise even more the wonders he is working..

To think this used to be a common skill when there was a British car industry and when we had cars that had curves and had mechanicals we could both understand and tinker with. I don't think I'll be able to look at or handle a sheet of metal again without thinking of how Adrian formed those subtle curves. The engine rebuild with the bigger carbs and body colour is bang-on and the whole car surely destined for concourse honours. Bravo!
