[@Car_and_classic_lover]

Lovely to see you back Pete. PAPA flew past me in my original Mini back in June and looked amazing cruising down the motorway! I hope you are keeping well!👍👍

[@neillambourne8448]

Glad your back.

[@motortowncuriosites7005]

Happy to see Tina G get some love, She is a great car.

[@johngregory9221]

Great to see you back. Love the detail.

[@PeteCswampy]

More to come!

[@philtucker1224]

Cortinas in GXL trim are just gorgeous 👌❤️❤️

[@philrawnsley8341]

Great to have you back Pete, and what a great video. You did right in taking a break. If the mind tells you, then there's usually a good reason for it. I quite often take breaks from social media, so as to reset and escape all the dramas it seems so good in supplying.

[@jonathandowling969]

Good to see you back Pete, looking forward to seeing more progress on PAPA!

[@garybarnett764]

Great to see you back! Your channel (and others) are a great medicinal cure for escaping the crap of everyday life.

[@mikea8659]

Great to see you again Pete, I had a MK1 sierra with a 1.3 pinto many moons ago, it was proper lethargic so we swapped it for a 1.6 out of a cortina but didn't swap the sump over, we had to lift engine out again to swap the sump as it was rumbling against the cross member, we first thought we fitted a duffer, good old days 😄

[@christyler373]

great to see you back yeppppppppp

[@MrVxrman]

Interesting video Pete but then they always are my freind. I miss the live streams you used to do having a beer and a laugh whilst chatting away and playing music ect but i know your a busy guy. So just wanted to say thanks and keep it up 🤜🤛

[@mdawson101]

Fantastic to see you back Pete, though you’d given up on the tube, so pleased to watch all your knowledge & experience that help so many. keep up the good work , take care . 👍

[@davidrix804]

REALLY DO LOVE YOUR CHANNEL🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@AliMackMechanical]

Great video Pete 😊😊

[@bucknut7241]

Welcome back pete..''spray liberally😊''

[@Focusstturbo]

Pete, great to see you back. Loving the power steering conversion.

[@PeteCswampy]

Thanks 👍

[@levelcrossing150]

Glad your back getting back into the swing of things, Pete and great video. As regards your camshaft bearings, we never changed them unless they were showing signs of wear. I knew mine needed replacing by swinging on the shaft from side to side and I could feel a obvious movement there. I've never put head bolts back in the same holes either. Stretch bolts were introduced on later Pintos and I've avoided them.

[@BigPaul62]

Tina G is my favourite of all your lovely Cortinas. They all bring back memories of my Evergreen with black vinyl roof GXL which I owned in 1982/83. Beautiful car, even had the optional black cloth trim. I had a Fiesta sump pinhole and rot through, luckily new ones were only about £35 and easy to change.

[@mikestickersm3mxb279]

Great to see you back

[@HughSpears]

So lovely to have you back Pete I really have missed you and your brilliant videos

[@philtucker1224]

Pete every couple of month I’ll have a Fray Bentos steak pie for my dinner, they come in a 7” metal oven dish which is dead handy afterwards for collecting various bolts and washers in when you are stripping down an engine or engine part. I use them for my lad’s motorbikes but it’s just a free tip for fellow CC subscribers. Blessings all round bro! 🖖

[@Oliver-f1v]

Something great to watch during my break at work on night shift as werehouse folklift driver great to see you back Pete Oliver

[@ciderandy4290]

Good morning stranger, from a beautifully sunny North Riding coast. That Pinto in Tina G looks in very good order internally. Must have been well rebuilt 60,000 miles or so ago. I wonder why it needed a rebuild at such a low mileage? Towing that caravan backwards and forwards to and from Devon, probably. Good to see you back on my favourite telly channel, Pete. I'll be in touch. Andy.

[@PeteCswampy]

nice to hear from you Andy

[@compostcorner5934]

Great video as usual Pete 👍 I was watching an old video of London from the 60's Footage of all the old motors driving around .There were 2 ford Anglia vans in the footage that caught my eye and thought I'd love one of them . My dad had an Anglia 105e from new in 1965 he kept it till it rotted out and took it up the scrappy I used it for a few years when I passed my driving test in 78 until I got my first car which was a MK1 Escort GT .. Happy days 😁

[@philtucker1224]

Pete it’s interesting that the front (x 4 pulleys) belt is only tensioned by the manual alternator bracket and not by a sprung loaded tensioner that could have (maybe) stop the mid-winter screeching when the belt needs tightening.

[@Dave-Huston-Dublin]

Welcome Back Pete, Great Video.

[@leeholmes6780]

Welcome back my good friend

[@Fordman99.]

Mad to think u still have that car after 31 years and still in good shape

[@geoffhobster5814]

watched all your car restoration except Tina G. Watched some twice over. Missed your videos of restoration works

[@huwdavies6650]

Blimey, It's been so long I thought they'd finally caught up with you for taking their Sherbert Dip Dabs!

[@johnboy384]

Missed ya Pete. Thanks for the video. Love your work. =)

[@triodehexode]

Listen to the birds chatter with laughter at what they did to that poor car. Just like the ones on Rubarb and Custard in the 70s.

[@anthonyockelford1667]

Great to see you back pete!

[@mk3nog]

[@Roachie1982uk]

Good video 😎 Be good to the old man Swampy as not seen him for a while 😎

[@theelvisway7269]

Hello Pete now running the engine and gearbox plus backend in my white south African import from the 1600 white gxl you did in a video of a barn find my son still haves the shell do not know what to do do with it rebuild it or cut it up for spares

[@PeteCswampy]

DONT SCRAP THE SHELL! im sure could rebuild, does it have log book?

[@Car_and_classic_lover]

Sorry I missed the live Pete! Hopefully will make the next one

[@geraldmeli7696]

Great entertainment as usual 😊, but missed the introductive music theme. Could use the AI one you used on your recent trailer. I really like it. Big well done as usual and looking forward for the next film 🎥

[@EddieG1888]

Pete, I've never minced words in my comments on your videos on how highly I rate your skills in bringing these classics back to life. But I've said a few times I'd love to see you do a car in the other direction, with mostly modern accoutrements.😊 So, with the utter disgrace that is the new "Capri" (which I'm sure will be a disaster of Edsel proportions!) how's about you show Ford how it's done?!😉👍🏻

[@philtucker1224]

Pete on the half dozen pinto heads I’ve done a haven’t found any need to replace the camshaft bearing tower shells.

[@gt4god2ulot]

Nice to see you back Pete where's your friend muscles from brussels and others.

[@PeteCswampy]

[@ian.M440]

[@PeteCswampy]

Not sure yet Kev, no room!!!

[@kevinsharpe8335]

@@PeteCswampy yes i have the same issue with my motorcycles! Those Sealy mini impact drives look good btw

[@danielcampbell9220]

Have a look at cerakote for coating inlet manifold after blasting. ;)

[@terryatkinson899]

Currently enjoying your video even though I've no ford cars, I'm into fiat's and am interested in how you do jobs on your cars. You are a mine of information and I like how you are thinking of others by selling mates rates parts that others may need. There's too many greedy feckers ripping people off. Isn't simone doing well with her car, no doubt you are keeping an eye on her channel. Greetings from Ireland 😁👍🇮🇪

[@PeteCswampy]

Awesome thank you!

[@geraldmeli7696]

Hi Pete, is it possible to send me the link of the video in which you took your indicator stalk and the firm you took it too ,scribed cruise control. If not , no worries. Nice day.

[@wichywoo]

everbuild puraflex-40 is very good for plugging small holes its oil compatible propa black claggy stuff ;o)

[@baylessnow]

As I've said before Pete. CVH stem seals are better than the cheapo little rubber jobs that Ford put on the Kent, Valencia and Pintos. edit: Nice to see you have them.

[@PeteCswampy]

Great point!

[@mk3nog]

as sumps off pete... would it not be worth considering putting a new oil pump in🤔

[@kernow..exp.]

Hi Pete I think you might be related to my father-in-law I clark

[@sim6699]

I wouldn't know where to start with AI. Do you have any plans for a carport for your outside cars?

[@jusbox9654]

DOWNTOWN

[@compostcorner5934]

I'm just like you pete ,if iv got too much to do I end up doing nothing . I only look after 2 vehicles these days ,my daily driver and my future classic .But I'm toying with selling the Calibra as iv lost interest in it. I hate the bother of selling cars these days too , getting wasters coming round ya house
