[@Jono_misfit]

Great build, great series. Cant wait to see you put this through its paces and any future builds.

[@gaetanoflorio6277]

The attention to detail and quality workmanship has come to fruition, and that engine sound....Wow! Well done Colin, a labour of love has come to life. BRAVO 👏

[@105colin]

Thanks mate

[@rjung_ch]

Love the sound track you added in this video. 3 years in 8 min, very impressive, love your work.

[@rivenmotors7981]

So what you're saying is I can drink 17 beers and build an amazing car in 8 minutes and do it safely! Whoo hoo!

[@105colin]

Yep

[@Ride2Xplore]

Great job!Thanks for going through the effort to make a nice video of the build!And i'll say it again your craftsmanship is superb!

[@smudgetherealmc]

Clicked 'like' before watching as I've seen the whole series already so know the quality and attention to detail in this excellent build. Looking forward to whatever you do next Colin.

[@105colin]

Appreciate it mate

[@mrsquariel]

Really enjoyed the build series. Watching the highlights reel over a safety beer on a Friday is an added bonus.

[@105colin]

Glad your enjoying a Friday safety beer!

[@Itsaworkinburkin]

Awesome project, always looked forward to your updates over the last few years, something really positive at a time when the world is sitting on the edge of the toilet! Cheers

[@105colin]

Yea, should have called it the lockdown Stratos Build! , cheers mate

[@garethmayfield4014]

[@105colin]

No worries mate, thanks for watching, cheers

[@bubbleobill267]

I like your beer selection, The car is pretty damn sweet too!.

[@SkylarkCamperAdventures]

Can’t wait to see it in some rally action footage 👍 Been a brilliant series

[@markhendry1761]

Fantastic to see you in the Targa Tasmania footage. What a brilliant build, nice job!

[@105colin]

Thanks very much

[@jedgreco]

One of the best recap ever seen!!! Great stuff mate 🤩

[@105colin]

Glad you enjoyed it mate!

[@philwesty21]

Seriously, this series equalled (if not better) Binky and YOU finished it! Definately the Aussie BOM! Cant wait for more welding and fabrication action. Safety beers at the ready here.

[@105colin]

Thanks mate, really appreciate the comments and support, definitely more fabrication to come so keep those safety beers at the ready!

[@zAvAvAz]

Awesome! Favorite Lancia Stratos in the world.

[@masakiizawa5754]

If you don't love it, it's impossible to complete thd car with such passion. Thank you for your good work.

[@105colin]

Thanks mate, really appreciate the commentl

[@semafor930]

Супер работа! Стратос - детская мечта. А вы её своими руками сделали! Отлично!

[@105colin]

Спасибо друг, да, это была забавная сборка

[@kidoctane]

That is just frickin' awesome. So jelly.....

[@ettoredomini4614]

The whole originals back in the seventies were build more or less like you did. Simple tooling way. Congrats.

[@105colin]

Yea not to many cnc machines back then! Cheers mate

[@ivorborland819]

Have followed every episode and what a great way to summarise it. Have to say you're engineering abilities was a joy to witness. Congratulations. Would love you to build one for me but I don't have that sort off money.

[@105colin]

Thanks very much mate, would love to start building these for others but yea given the time, it would not be cheap!

[@alfagtv1098]

Nice work!👍🏻

[@105colin]

Cheers mate

[@alfagtv100]

So awesome. And yes, we always put our tools away after using them.

[@simonp75381]

Brilliant, well done a great achievement!

[@105colin]

Thanks mate

[@yodaqaz]

Nice wrap on an absolutely brilliant build. I’ve really enjoyed seeing it happen. Your video & editing skills are nearly as good as your amazing fabrication, welding and design abilities. A pleasure to watch a master at work. The safety beers were a crack up! Sorry THC didn’t give you as much running as you would have liked. It always takes a few events to get a new build sorted. My 2600 still isn’t there! Must talk to you at some point to see if your Panhard rod concept (as seen on Jeff’s Alfarrari) could be adapted for the 2600. Similar rear end. Same issue with roll centre. Till then, good luck. Can’t wait to see the Stratos unleashed in Tassie!

[@105colin]

Yea we knew it was going to be a battle, but we had a great time anyway, was so good to be back rallying again. No worries sure something similar could be done to the 2600. Yea madly getting ready for Tassie, can't wait

[@anonysend6532]

She's a beaut! Iconic design combined with precision engineering. The Antipodean Bad Obsession fuelled by beer rather than tea.

[@105colin]

Haha love the comparison!

[@woodywood1951]

superb! dashing!

[@micaelantunes7055]

Congrats!!! You make it look simple😁

[@105colin]

Cheers mate

[@Juzzy520]

Good job done there!🍺🍺😆👍💪💪

[@TheGentlemensMotorRacingTeam]

Fantastic sir

[@105colin]

Thanks mate

[@ibereportesferrari8780]

Excelente trabalho!!!! Parabéns!!!!! 1👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@timgosling6189]

Damn that sounds good!

[@105colin]

Dosn't it!

[@jamesdash1906]

Love those cars !!!!

[@105colin]

Thanks mate

[@cramiro71]

Great resume Colin. I don’t know if it happens to you, but when I finish a project and I look backwards to see what I did, I become lazy and think i wouldn’t do it again. Then comes another project and I forget about it, plus there is always things to adjust, remake, improve,…. Personally I would appreciate more videos driving it, but to see it from outside the car to see how it looks Great job, you deserve another beer or two

[@105colin]

Thanks mate, I'll have one now!

[@stevenhorne2667]

Gonna watch the rest of the video later on I’m going to be late for work!!!

[@105colin]

Haha, don't loose your because of my insanity!

[@stevejones9788]

That's some serious machine tool kit you've amassed there reminded me of my days as an apprentice. Loved the blooper sequence. What's the next project?

[@105colin]

I've got a an issue with tool purchasing... Plenty of projects to come, but the stratos still needs some development

[@paulmorton4298]

Loved it - a highlight film makes it look easy. What let you down in Targa High Country?

[@105colin]

Thanks mate, yea few things, incomplete ignition map caused some over heating, and a few suspension issues, I'll do a video of the problems soon, unf they took a long time to fix so we missed a lot of stages, but it was a weapon when it was going

[@fractalrender]

Best build in KZbin!!. You should get endorsed by the beers marc!!. How does it drive?. Is it as dificult as the original car?. Trully great colin!!! Are you going to do more videos about the stratos? Are you going to put decals on it? Cheers!!!! Hope to see the next one!

[@105colin]

Cheers mate, wouldn't say it's difficult, but it's a mid engine car, so a lot different to what I'm used to, but wow has it got some turn in! Yea plenty for stratos vids today come

[@rjung_ch]

3 generations of car guys, what a joy for you all.

[@105colin]

Yea was a full family build this one, cheers rob

[@timbray1814]

A real antipodean outpost of Binky-ness really ….but with added safety beers 🍻! Awesome work !

[@105colin]

Thanks mate

[@regalheros347]

Nice summary of a great build. Looking forward to the THC debrief video. I hope you put the spanners back in the right place. The light pod looks fantastic; any night running? Rear wheels wider than front?

[@105colin]

Always!.. Thanks, yea the light pods are really growing on me, na no night run, just mixing it up. Yea ended up finding some wider rears, still have skinny rears as well so we can mix and match

[@FergHyde]

When I was a young bloke, I was entranced by Lancia Stratos Tamiya models. This upload was in my 'New To You' so I just watched it. I caught my breath when I saw you drinking a Furphy but held my excitement until I saw the Victorian plates!!!!! OMG, this is Australian! Do you do the rounds of the shows? Do you do Newcastle, NSW specifically? Have you been to the Meguiar's Show And Shine at Old bar? I would love to see this car in person.

[@105colin]

Hey mate thanks for the comment. Yea I'm not so much into the car show scene, but hopefully Tarmac rallying in Australia gets back underway, if so the car will be out and about, so you might be able to catch it then Cheers

[@johnsalley1081]

Great job, Colin! A couple of questions, as I’m planning my own Stratos replica. I know you said you used an MR2 radiator. I’m assuming from an MR2 Turbo? My Alfa V6 should have about 265hp; I want to have plenty of cooling capacity. Also, have you tested the suspension updates yet?

[@105colin]

Thanks mate, yea the latest rad is from a MR2 spyder i think, its a 3 pass one the original one I used was only 2 pass and was marginal at best, plus upgraded to bigger water pumps. Water cooling is good now, Oil cooling was still a problem and have added a massive oil cooler at the back of the car where i had the diffuser. The original engine had a decent oil cooler from the factory so i think oil temp is an issue with these engines. I have tested the suspension updates, they made a good improvement, and the car is much more predictable we've since discovered that the factory pickup points of the hawk induce some rear bump steer, was an easy fix, just had to move the trailering arm inboard point 20mm closer to the chassis rail, haven't tested that one, but should be further improvements.

[@bobyoung1698]

That sounds like pure evil!

[@105colin]

Yea, got to love that sound!

[@jedgreco]

... and u should publish a half an hour video from inside the car just to let us enjoy the sound of the engine 🎵

[@Plummetking]

Colin please give up your day job and make your KZbin channel full time, best KZbin channel on the planet(sorry Jeff).................Another Italian build would be perfect!

[@105colin]

Mate I would if you I could! How good would it that be, cheers

[@BespokeBaits]

Where is the testing and competition footage?

[@violentblue123]

shows how quick you could have gotten it done without all that beer drinking.

[@paulp96275]

Fanbloodytastic 👍👨🏻‍🏭🇬🇧

[@105colin]

Thanks mate!

[@D-factory]

It's great work. I also like Stratos very much. Did you make the vehicle body yourself? Or did you buy it?

[@105colin]

Thanks mate, na my fiberglass skills aren't close to that level it's a hawk replica they have mould talent from an original

[@D-factory]

@@105colin Okay. I also want to purchase 1 body set in the future. Can I get some help then?

[@edwardclark2653]

A blueprinted and hand built auto from the ground up.

[@105colin]

Pretty much!

[@rjung_ch]

So many safety beers can be found all over the car 😄

[@regalheros347]

Hi Colin, any (KZbin) workshop progress on the horizon?

[@105colin]

Hey mate, yea planning one soon, few excuses for being away, one big one is my editing laptop short circuited itself, a new one should arrive this week

[@nitronixus9402]

Hi, Im curious on the 4 Cylinder it was first found in, can you give me details? thanks!

[@105colin]

Hey mate, the 4 cylinder was out of a lancia beta

[@marcoz5794]

Fantastic!!! My favorite car and my favorite job!! Can I work with you? 😋😋Greetings for italy!

[@105colin]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks

[@davidsantos5516]

Cheers....good thing the todler didn't learn....yet to open beer cans 👍
