You did a fantastic job of making that piece

Thank You Mike- Im just waiting for the dude with the press brake to fold up the other partrs and I can do video 2 which will give me a usable bonnet again!

Awesome metal work. Plus like your shirt that says easily distracted by goats , well I need one that says “ Easily Distracted By Bad Girls “

Yeah Brutus is looking good buddy. My Dad had a 1984 Series 3 2& quater 4 cylinder petrol.Exarmy radio vehicle. It was 24 volt so it would run radio equipment on her she spent most of her service in the Gulf. We had a few of the old sereis 3s my dad loved them.👍

Yes I had an ex Army radio vehicle about 10 years ago but I was not in a position to rebuild it-such a shame.

Very interesting! Gotta do the bonnet frame on my stage 1 ! Planning on having it galvanised too

[@kevinford6420]

TOP JOB, UK

[@DavidJohnson-cr5lq]

This video reminds me of my stage 1.. My purchase was a repair job after the handbrake failed & it took off from a golf clubhouse & went thru a fence & into a house at about 60kph. Luckily we just don't get that kind of rust in Vic, unless the vehicle lived in Qld. Some good tips here, thanks.

You will enjoy the next vid where I finish it all - stay tuned!

[@MartopoSons]

Awesome works! I definitely need to learn from you..my bonnet frame is also rotten and rusty.. 😭

[@t.h.o.r.]

Thank you Daniel- I must show another video of the finished bonnet frame - Im making seat covers tonight for the rat eaten seats.

[@sausage5849]

Nice job Stu! Your daughter must've got her Mothers looks ;-)

[@t.h.o.r.]

haha- true dat!

[@codyallen9729]

I could have done with that door top!😂

[@EricaMTB]

What happened in the last few minutes of the video?

[@t.h.o.r.]

er... umm... I finished what I was doing and it was 10pm!- The other two parts of the frame have to be folded at my mate's shop. Ill be doing that over the next couple of days- also a couple of inner guard mud shields - then Im rebuilding the rat eaten seats!

[@t.h.o.r.]

I see what you mean!- one tiny segment of soundtrack got left and got shunted to the end and the software thought that the long gap was meant to be there!- Operator error sorry.
