Restoration Blog December 2024

[@kevelliott]

Wow. It's a good job you're a young bloke, Steve. There's enough work there for about 300 years.

[@craigwiest772]

Can you do an episode about your business? Employees, client projects, shop capabilities, etc.

[@andyurwin-wells4425]

Wow what a collection.....Love the resto blogs as it gives a good overview of the variety of great cars you have. Keep em coming. Cheers

[@jlwilliams]

I just love seeing the variety of cars and the variety of conditions they're in. Of course I most want to see something get done on the Sonett since I owned one for 20 years, but it's all fun to see!

[@48920jeff]

I’m just blown away at how much work you get done in a short period of time. Love seeing that the Lectra is going to make a come back. The SAAB Sonnet is a very worthy project and I’m excited to see how it progresses. The Trail Wrecker has some amazing upgrades coming, so of course I’m on pins and needles to see what it does. Finally, and closest to my heart is the work you have done and plans you have for the Land Rover Discovery XD. Can’t wait to see you take her out on an adventure. She’s looking great and I’m feeling nostalgic. I just realized three vehicles I mentioned are yellow. Maybe I have a problem!😂😅😊

[@oldcarnut1]

Yes fix the Saab!

[@mountainjeff]

@@oldcarnut1 Yes the Saab. And the wrecker! Bet he makes friends when that thing works better.

[@paulhall170]

Flat back all over for the Porsche, and some period racing stickers over the top!! Steve, I only have one question, really. WHEN DO YOU SLEEP???????????

[@majormojo]

Love the resto blog episodes! 👍

[@markmcginn8012]

Great post. I like seeing the works in progress.

[@TL243]

Hope these trigger the algo… cuz you at one of the best.

[@simonbarnwell7787]

I would love to own any single one of your vehicles .

[@spellacy29]

The AC Aceca is a very pretty car ❤

[@garygross6849]

Great to see all the projects that you are working on. Wondering how you can find the time to put together the videos

[@johndavey72]

Well Steve . You're not going to die of boredom that's for sure ! Cheers !

[@julianwinn4502]

Enjoyed the video. So may cars at your place....wow!

[@stephenricketts7764]

All these projects keep you busy Steve. I know you are methodical in your work but sometimes you must have to 'take a breath' and think where am I on this or that. All great stuff though Steve thank you for the restoration blog. 👍👍

[@americanpatriot2422]

Outstanding video and presentation

[@jimringo2569]

Fascinating how many great projects you can work simultaneously!

[@dirthawk2669]

Great Blog Steve , You're a Busy Man , and we can't wait for the next video !! Paint the "63" Satin Black !!

[@rimizoem]

Good work all year, Merry Christmas!

[@TL243]

3:32 love the pick up!!!

[@MikeAarset]

Really love your Restoration Blogs. I hope you keep doing them.

[@keyo525]

I use to do scaffold work at the Solihull Land rover factory in the 90s and you use to see the XD on the dirt track ( saying that I think it was a camel version ), I suppose you could say it was the start of the corporate land rover experience. I also saw the last mini running out of the Rover Longbridge plant and the last ones had Great Britain land map on the front badge from memory. Our gaffer purchased a 3 series bmw 325i sport and was told don't bring that hear again by Rover, next week he turned up in a gold Montego that leaked oil like a sieve.

[@johnrussell5245]

I'd like to see more in-depth and longer videos, Steve.

[@like2view]

Wow!!! One busy guy!! Are you doing all this work? Amazing!

[@BoonesMountain]

Hey Steve, I enjoy these as well! That AC Aceca is one nice car! Would love to see more on that one and more videos on that Healey 100/6! Great job man! Love the channel!

[@heckmacbuff]

Great stuff, I wish I had room for that little Sprite, it is so nice.

[@dennisbabcock9444]

Hope to see some of your vehicles at Cars and Coffee Des Moines again next year!

[@davidsinclair6802]

Keep up the good work!

[@stcorcor]

You are amazing...thank you for all the great content!

[@donparker1823]

Super cool projects you have. I noticed you have a Velocette Motorcycle and some other bikes. Could you show us those sometime?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Planning on it

[@lorenpetersen4044]

Love your channel. I found it because I have a 1960 Sunbeam Alpine and was looking for content. The interesting thing I noticed if that you have the ideal shop, what we all dream of, but space wise you end up having the same amount of working space per car that I have with a single car garage! Haha. Love it, thanks for rescuing and sharing the cool old British stuff!

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Doesn’t matter how large a garage you build it will never be big enough!

[@fbrewx2560]

Great update video Steve. Love all your videos! Keep up the good work.

[@TL243]

1:52 flat black all over and figure the wrap later.

[@johnoldonekanole602]

Dude, you have WAY to many toys. Great channel you run it well thanks for sharing.

[@oldcarnut1]

That v4 Saab engine has the a/c compressor and mounting brackets which are very rare. Please fix the Sonnet

[@kenpecora7526]

You are living the dream. Do you do all the work yourself or do you bring in help??

[@BJHolloway1]

Steve your videos are most illuminating and interesting but it appears we only see a small part of your work. I am guessing that you personally do your own video post production which is time consuming. Have you considered getting somebody to do your video post prodcution which may give you an oppurtunity for more contnet to upload on to KZbin?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Yes I do all of the filming and editing myself but that’s not why I only show some things. If I had a larger audience to make the filming worth while I would do more but currently I only film what I think people would most want to see.

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

One other reason some things are not filmed is because it slows the process down by two to three times and if I just need it done I may not have time to waste to film it.

[@anthonybrau7399]

Yes...please...more videos like this. Steve...you have an amazing collection! Was that a Renault Dauphine that I saw on one of your racks?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

Yes it was!

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

I go over all the cars on the shelves in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZOvfpSQrM99l8U

[@anthonybrau7399]

@@ThisWeekWithCars thanks

[@bryancohn9406]

No wonder you aren’t racing as much as you used to, so many projects! 😉 Didn’t know you had the AC, beautiful cars, especially the fastback or maybe it’s a coupe’?

[@CMKshadow]

Cool

[@dandodds1926]

Good stuff! Thanks!

[@kcirful]

great work!

[@parrotraiser6541]

I'm glad I don't have your to-do list. I'd be catatonic just thinking about it.

[@stephenhenion8304]

How can I get 20 Cars onto a Top Ten List?????

[@robbuchanan3978]

Steve you got to give some indication of hours on these projects l don’t think it’s humanly possible but great videos

[@RandomGuyDan]

Lots of great cars. Does having the original valve covers for the Tiger really prove you have the original engine? If there is nothing on the block, then couldn't someone have swapped in a date correct engine and and installed the valve covers it came with?

[@OpenThisGate87]

Performance cam in the tow truck: is flathead engine a tenable candidate for hotrodding?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

No?

[@TheBTG88]

Why would the wooden rub rail not be able to be fabricated?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

It can but if I can get an original even better.

[@mundanestuff]

that was my first thought, looks like a banister railing, but I can see why he would want original. It's a rub-rail, surely they made a crap-ton of spares, no?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

I used to see the surplus ones for sale, but as it's a wear item maybe the stock has finally been used up.

[@daveshongkongchinachannel]

Personally I don't like wraps on cars although if done well, it can be hard to tell. The 944 would look good if just resprayed in it's original colour and as you're going to rally it, it doesn't need to look concours.

[@MrBillsmith60]

Steve, what year is the MGB GT, is it for sale?

[@ThisWeekWithCars]

The yellow car? It is a 1969 MG MGC

[@radweld]

Wish your videos were longer, I appreciate it's not easy, its just I enjoy the content. Maybe you could hire an editor? just an idea.

[@johna1160]

6:00 Can easily see the "Old Stock" in this drive shaft. The "New" part of NOS? Not so much.

[@walkertongdee]

Uh, if the rub rail is wood make them, anyone can do such a simple thing.

[@walkertongdee]

Wraps scream its got a crap body so I'll hide it lol, kids do it. So does flat black it will look like a cheap spray can job...
