Triumph Spitfire Two Week Restoration Part 4 - The Rebuild!

[@kevinoakes1171]

That little Spitfire is literally “A Triumph”, in every sense. What a stunner it turned out to be. Great job, Ben, she’s a beauty, you should be VERY proud.

[@tastyclassics]

Thanks Kevin, I love it.

[@peterrimmington7100]

Sometimes you as rough as a bears arse the way you do things but it works. Got to say that motor is stunning, really nice paint job. You should be really proud what you've achieved Ben, very nice, I look forward to the next one.

[@WinnerWinnerEmmaDinner]

Love the colour! It's like a radioactive frog. What an epic restoration, seriously, I hope you're so proud of what you've done because it's amazing.

[@MrMarksdaniels]

The best compliment I can give, is to say that it looks like someone bought the triumph name and produced a modern version of the classic spitfire. Nice one Ben.

[@MarkGFRex]

I'm new to the channel (I've missed out for so long 😢) and cannot understand why this series hasn't had more views. I've loved every minute of it. Bloody lovely end result and well worth the effort. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching every video from now on. ❤

[@jonathanbowles2577]

[@dsjno2]

The car is absolutely stunning Ben. Wow!🎉🎉🎉

[@GaryCrowley-l2e]

Hi Ben. I am just catching up on all your videos and love everyone of them. Not one for making comments but I have to say the Spitfire series is brilliant. I have watched every minute of every episode. Enjoyed the ups and downs (minor frustrations etc) along the way. You have inspired me to crack on with my own project (1993 Jeep) in the new year. I even bought your hoodie and bobble hat from the mech store to keep me warm and look cool. Keep the vids going fella. The spitfire is a gem and great work. G

[@HollyBerryDOOG]

Restoring a car that built shite in the first place will always be a struggle but you’re doing a good job. Personally I wouldn’t bother as these are slow as but the fact I’m watching means you’re doing spot on 😂

[@StuartKirkham]

Ben, when you were in that Peugeot garage talking about that green, I was screaming NOOOOO!!! But I have to eat my words, spot on matey, well done...👍

[@Flieger671]

Great job. What a beauty! I only wish I had more then one thumbs up to give you. Oh wait, I can! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@dtkoinew]

Wow you've done a fantastic job and wow that paint job is modern but suits the car, I think it's your best job yet and give yourself a pat on the back

[@colletteodonoghue5940]

That paint! Wow! I'm green with envy! ;)

[@colinjohnston7468]

Very nice job on the Spitfire, that colour scheme is the dogs & in my view the car needs a nice engine bay refresh. Keep up the good work on the classics😎👍🏻

[@glenwestphal7510]

You did a $10,000.00 professional paint job on that car !!! The color ! Look at that color ! Gorgeous ! I want to paint my mini van that color now , it's my all-time fav ! I was a professional auto body painter for 20 years and let me tell you sir , are now up there with the big leagues boys for now on ! You will only get better with each and every paint job you do from here as you said earlier. Fantastic job ! 💯% 🎉❤😊

[@HirstCast]

Thoroughly enjoyed this build! Love the colour too, so many moments watching when I wanted to jump in the car and come give you a hand 🤣

[@andrewspence8100]

I absolutely love that colour Ben,it makes it look unique.great job.

[@timothymcauliffe-qe1vx]

Ben great job still looks good from my house with me smurf sitting next to me 👍🤣🤣

[@DavidCresswell-h8i]

Thanks Ben, great watch from start to finish… colours turned out brilliant. Time to enjoy it a bit. Can’t believe that nightmare you had with the paint reaction. I would have given up and gone to the pub! Unbelievable!

[@scottcallis3491]

20 mins in and I love the colour and how it turned out, stunning paint job. 🤘

[@andrewross7642]

Fantastic restoration Ben she's a beaut!!!!❤😅😅😊 keep up the good work luv it😊

[@andyb1577]

The Spitfire looks outstanding I love the colour and I just love your humour 😂

[@nygelmiller5293]

To Andy B Yes, the change of colour - and the fact thatbit is metallic - has TRANSFORMED it!

[@krispayne729]

You did an absolutely beautiful job on that Triumph Spitfire it looks freaking awesome maybe the next job is your F-250 it would look nice with a paint job

[@DPcar-mania-65]

Fantastic finish to the triple videos. What a great looking car, top work Ben you should be chuffed. Look forward to your next video. Enjoy your beers. 🍻🍻🍻

[@nigelchapman6211]

Used to have a red spitfire mk3. (Or rather my wife did). Loved it, but baby forced reluctant sale back in 1984. 40 years on and I doubt I would be able to get out of a spitfire without crawling out on hands and knees. What an awesome watch. Absolutely right about the colour choice, it’s just amazing, a real head turning car. I love it!

[@leechristopher3870]

Phenomenal job! I know you've earned some time off, and you want to get on with the next car, but I'd love to see one more Spitfire episode - fitting the tan interior to match the hood, and detailing the engine and firewall. The way this project turned out, it would be a shame not to really finish it off in style. Having said that, I googled images of a Sunbeam-Talbot 90 and I can't wait to see that as well, so just do whatever brings you the most joy.

[@CraigHous-t8i]

Love the colour just spent 4 hours watching from start to finish, amazing job ben as allways😎

[@casanova2232]

Good job it's a green sheen triumph spitfire machine know what I mean cool 😎👍

[@petecross9470]

Loved this series! Love the Spitfire! The colour is amazing and the result is fantastic!

[@DENISMEDLAND]

First class love the green & the cream roof. Spot on Ben excellent content as always

[@supplementkingbrand293]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 absolutely awesome. Well done. Cream interior would crown a great conversion.

[@nygelmiller5293]

To Supplementkingbrand. A cream interior? This project has got YOU started now, now you've seen the wonderful colour!

[@nygelmiller5293]

To supplementkingbrand. ACTUALLY, having seen the glorious cream hood, later in the video, I think that's enough. The hood contrasts with the nice colour of the paint. BUT the black upholstery looks nice anyway, with those smart new black carpets!

[@carlosgrethe2494]

Yeaah… another tasty classic car finished ! Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 car looks super cool I never miss an episode ❤❤❤ Whish you 100 000 subscribers till the end of the year !

[@tonyace1587]

Whats a winner it's definitely got to on front of a car magazines around the world there will be a boom in buying triumphs ❤❤

[@mahcooharper9577]

It is a beautiful colour, personally I wouldn't have put it on that car but there is no arguing you've done a magnificent job with the car and I've thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Working my way through your channel and enjoying it. Keep it up. :)

[@johncross6479]

Well done Ben you should be proud of yourself what a stunning job you made unbelievable .But what does it for me is your really good sense of humour throughout even when things don't go to plan love it

[@maxcarrera94]

Proper proper revival man! You’ve outdone yourself, I’d love to see that one in the ring! Big ups from Puerto Rico 💪🤙

[@6petrolhead6]

Excellent work mate the spitti looks stunning in that green and the hood colour was a good choice too it was worth all the effort and is a real credit to all your hard work 😊

[@kevingreen8581]

I love the colour. It looks like it is from the MG Rover RV8 stable.

[@matthewseymour8972]

What a beaut.... Couldn't agree more with doing something different and non-original. There are plenty of these around in original condition, and this colour looks superb.

[@thenaughtyhusky7903]

She looks absolutely gorgeous outstanding job Ben so stoked for you Magnificent🤟👍👍

[@KT-TV]

You absolutely NAILED it Ben!!!❤ I love the pragmatic approach to restoration...believe me...that last 20% would have been 80% of the cost both in time and money and it's just not necessary. Do the engine rebuild though...that would make a perfect mini series to accompany this one. Brilliant...pure brilliance 💕🐾💕🐾

[@markcurzon4567]

Wow Ben the car is so gorgeous love the colour of it you done it proud love the colour of the roof too lovey job keep it up can't wait to see what you you do next job👍

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

Lovely job with this car 👍🏻, colour combo with the roof and paint has turned the car into a resto mod me thinks 🤓 ! Looks so fresh and modern 👍🏻

[@marcduthie4327]

What an absolutely awesome Spitfire you have made it. Would love to see the final engine episode done. Great work. Thanks. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺

[@ianhorabin9763]

Incredible looking car Ben,makes all those hours of work including the set backs worth while,Ian👍

[@NigelLateLifeCrisis]

Great work Ben, you even made me spray my coffee across the room with your Anne Frank comment 😂

[@nostreamavailable9090]

Get some teak oil on those wood laiths mate just to protect them. And I have these roof tracks here if you want them for the P6 or something 👍🏻

[@graememcdonald6882]

Fantastic Ben, I really liked the lesson on working with paint runs , and that's a really good colour choice for that car 👏👏👏

[@bodieb.1239]

I'VE GOT A VERY WELL RESTORED 69 WITH FACTORY WIRE WHEELS AND RED LINES. BUT...... I LOVE THOSE MINI=LITES. A REAL GAME CHANGER. BY THE WAY REALLY PRETTY CAR. GREAT WORK.

[@michaelclarke3684]

Absolutely amazing job done Ben she looks amazing, well done mate you should be very proud of your self ❤

[@mattcraddock5568]

Cracking mini series, thoroughly enjoyed! Never appreciated the shape of these until seeing one in such a great colour, flat 70s pastels do them no favours - hope to see it the metal at a show one day!

[@paulrobinson373]

You LEGEND, when you found the roof fitting instructions, i thought eh up the rear window is going to turn into a panoramic roof 😅 Anne Frankes drum kit. LOL

[@Almond001]

I would love to see it parked next to the pug that you got the paint colour from in the sunshine Brilliant video Ben, hats off to you sir.

[@kevinedwards9755]

You’ve pulled it out the bag big time Ben the spitfire looks stunning in that colour. So much hard work, but so very worth it. You must be so proud of what you have achieved 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@nostreamavailable9090]

I love everything you chose for it mate, the colour choices are absolutely inspired, you made a really good job of it, I truly hope you do more proper restos like this because you really are a very gifted young man, and the work you did here not only did the car justice but also did you justice as well and showed how talented you are. Surely one of the nicest spitfires ive seen . Well done mate 👍🏻🥇

[@craigjohnston1194]

Proper job Ben, car looks amazing & the mini series has been fantastic entertainment. Well done you

[@julianowens4071]

I didn’t really even have an interest in the Spitfire but this one has drawn me in,only 102 minutes in so not seen the final result but what a video Brilliant 🤩

[@Jaxs2]

Really nice Ben, great job. I bet you're pleased that's over 😁 you deserve a bloody good drink 👌

[@michaelgargaro]

What an immense amount of work. Well done. Absolutely stunning. The triumphant powerslide was awesome. Would love to see the engine bay episode and the cream interior would be sweet.

[@wewillmakeit3615]

Can we all - just for a moment - appreciate the impeccable timing of that bird chirping in the background at 1:29:57, please? I'm in tears.😂

[@Almond001]

Yes yes yes, I noticed that and spat my gulp of beer out onto the carpet, 😂😂😂😂😂

[@GeorgeMurrayMuirhead]

What a cracking job you done , you should be so proud of yourself buddy ❤️ watching from Scotland

[@ianprestwood6988]

Wow what a fantastic finish!!!... Cannot believe how well the paint turned out, Beautiful colour and the roof really complements it, Well done Ben 👏

[@davidrix804]

YOU HAVE GOT TO KEEP THAT CAR!! You are mad to sell that beauty,MAAAAAD!!🫡🫡🫡🫡🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@michaelbooker5714]

What an awesome job. Looks brilliant. Keep up the good work mate 👍

[@chrisssuzuki]

That looks absolutely fantastic. By far the best Spitfire I’ve ever seen. A credit to you. Thanks for the great mini series. What a great weekend of entertainment. 👍

[@SJMcCool]

Hiya Ben, congratulations. The car looks amazing! You have done a wonderful job in restoration.😊

[@johnhaynes9910]

Brilliant Ben, cream & green lovely, needs a cream interior too. Well done, lovely job old bean :)

[@deepestdub]

Stunning transformation Ben. Its a thing of beauty. Now, don't tell me you haven't fallen in love with that new look and are thinking of moving it on? Surely not?!

[@allanbale4133]

Wow what a gem she turned out to be, I was watching in my front room and 7.2m of my friends and family came round for a cuppa so it looks like you need to do the lot now 😅 I would love to see the engine all painted and chromed up to to complement what a great job you have done to exterior 😊 if I had the cash i would buy this off you and treasure it in an instant, I wasn't sure about the colour when you first mentioned it but you was 110% right the green pops. You need to give yourself the credit you deserve, well done that man! 😁👏👏👏

[@stephenbates8370]

When you first started sanding I thought you'd lost your mind but fair play that is an excellent Finnish all things considered 👍

[@neilshaw4231]

Yeah you should definitely do more of these mini series loved it.

[@scrapyardwarriorvlogging]

Absolutely love this Ben! At first I wasn’t too sure on the colour as I’m a stickler for originality, but I’m so impressed with it. Skill level = 100000000. The new owner will be very happy with that.

[@markcole1400]

Absolutely amazing, so much hard work. Well done Ben👍

[@seans_shed]

I've got a '78 MGB and I have loved watching you work on this lovely spitfire! I'm glad you have gone for a modern colour, it would have been what I'd done if my car had needed a spray job - there's so many concours and originals it gives you the chance to do what you like with your own car.

[@BigDave1965]

Fantastic looking car well done🎉

[@Ron_Lang]

Amazing effort, Ben. Well done for doing something a little different too!

[@martinhobson3545]

That’s a beltin colour, a lot like Harry’s Garage Jag XJC….well done Ben

[@davidminns9799]

Wow the Spitfire looks the dog's danglys Ben! You have really done it justice and that green paint pops👍 would love to own it😊

[@waynelittle5583]

You should be very proud of yourself that spitfire looks absolutely stunning well done and yes we all want a engine detailing video 👌👊

[@rmckenzie1929]

Saw a green Peugeot today and thought ‘that’s the same colour as the Tasty Spitfire!’… looking forward to the next resurrection Ben and More chat on Wings and Wheels podcast 👍

[@danvonranger]

The timing on this could not be better. I just looked out of the window intending to go for a walk, and as per usual in the UK it's raining. Checked YT to see if anyone had added an upload and found part 3, and it's a decent length too. Thanks for making my afternoon, you sir are a star.

[@Steve-Cross]

She’s a little beauty. You should feel very proud of yourself. 👍

[@McEveley1]

Had a Spitfire Many Years and Many Stones ago, Absolutely loved it. Mine was in Black and White, But loved the look of the metalic green you chose! Great Job!

[@stevepearce1913]

By far and away your best ever car! The colour almost de-ages the Spitfire and makes it look brand new. Can't wait for an engine refurb and dress up and I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up a keeper!

[@gwengo4167]

Absolutely stunning! Superb job, I love everything about this Spitfire, you’ve done a fantastic job 👌🏻👍🏻❤️✊🏻

[@ukfm]

Watched all the episodes. Great stuff! My neighbour in Leigh had a blue one when I was a kid late 70's. The dint on the bonnet was probably folk climbing on it and having their photograph taken. Keep up the great work! :)

[@simonmercer9530]

Absolutely love it you e done an amazing job. I can’t stop looking at it Well done mate

[@simonatkinson2710]

Beautiful car, with bonus fabby sideways action!

[@Crypto-Cod]

You should be proud. Hard graft but lots of satisfaction..❤

[@xerxes4863]

Great work, man! Absolutely love the colour. Reminds me of my old SAAB 9000 CSE in green metallic. Thank you for sharing.

[@pugdaddie]

Ben, you've done quite a good job on that one! I wasn't sure about that acid green, but damned if it doesn't work! I also liked the miniseries format. Thanks for a weekend's full of entertainment!

[@pwd63]

What an awesome little car! Well done mate! Love what you done to the spitfire!!!

[@franksmith4254]

Really enjoyable series. I love a Triumph Spitfire first sports car I was taken out in as a school boy.

[@TheGreatest1974]

My god, you have done a superb job on this Spitfire Ben. It’s just fantastic! Well done!👍🇬🇧

[@simonmuschamp4582]

Looks awesome loved the mini series defo want more! Really looking forward to the sunbeam. Great job on everything from the car to the filming 🎥. 👍

[@barrythatcher9349]

Ben I'm with you on that Torque wretch and seeing the Scimitar episode. I would definitely check that front hand left wheel nuts.

[@WheelOpinions]

Ben that looks awesome, you should be so proud of yourself. Such a transformation and in a very tasteful way. Well done buddy 👍

[@BobFurman]

Beautiful job! My first car was a '69 Spitfire MK III, so I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

[@kevinnye5132]

Love that joke Ben about “ Anne Franks “ drum kit 😂😂😂😂

[@DIESELHILUX]

Ben I never comment on KZbin but this series is fantastic you made me lave 2 comments I hope you make it big time mini series could be a new format for you I hope we’ll done cars amazing all the best again Royboy in Yorkshire xx

[@markcole1400]
