Reliant Scimitar SE5a 5 Day Restoration (kind of!) Can I Turn The Fortunes Of This Old Car Around?

In this video I scuff all of my knuckles on this old Scimitar getting her presentable and driving properly!
Definitely a challenging car to work on at times, it seems like everything I touched went wrong but I pushed through and the end result was well worth it.
We touched on restoring the badly faded and flaking paintwork using lacquer, wiper motor, brakes, clutch, engine, interior, lights and more!

Another gem from the man who has single handedly turned bodgery into an art form

I kinda thought you owned that big yard,,so if you buy barn vehicles to make them road worthy,,you gotta sell to continue on,,or else you h a broke collector

That's the first time anyone has ever listened to my advice online RE: Hanging Baskets! You have made my day - Have a non-branded coffee on me.

12.2k subs, well done Ben lad! Your great personality, screen presence and 2 weeks relevant work experience are bringing the crowds in.

I'm so happy that the mavens at KZbin decided that I wanted to see your channel! As an American I am fascinated by the variety of autos that you bring back to life... you have a big fan in Alabama, USA!

Was that a little trump at 1 hour 32 mins? 😂

[@hectorpascal]

Hmmmmm.. a car I have NEVER liked, but can't say why! Obviously my uneasy feelings were correct!😕

[@drivewayretrocarprojects4298]

Well, I’m not getting an thing done on my projects this evening. And the kids can sort there own dinner 😂

[@TurboTimsWorld]

Ben don't forget to water the hanging baskets we will all remind you at every video from now on LOL!

[@TheGramophoneGirl]

It's a 20/20 spray job. Looks good from 20 feet away or from 20 mph

[@Beauloqs]

Sometimes, when its going really shit and I sort something not on the list........I add it, just to cross it straight off 😂😂

Mate, you're a legend. Mat Armstrong is an imposter in comparison 😅

[@simonbarnwell7787]

I'd recommend checking if the fibre timing gears have been replaced with the upgraded ones , those old V6 Fords are notorious for them .

[@PedroPlckle]

Why do I have a tear in my eye watching the final minutes of your video on one screen and the final 2 minutes of the ebay ad at £1950. Hope you got what you needed. 😪

[@ambivalentonion2620]

decent bit of kit that

[@derekcoe9633]

The Scimitar is the only one I’d keep, wanted one of these since I was a kid!

[@timothyduggan2263]

I thought this wasn't out 'til Friday? Not complaining though - needed something for a Wednesday evening!

[@nostreamavailable9090]

So much room for a proper engine under there, that thing needs painting dark green and a 302 putting in it .

[@johnlad1481]

Nice one pal nice to see the scimitar looking better i hope she goes to a good home 👍
