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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@Steve-Cross]

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

[@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.

[@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. 👍

[@neilshaw4231]

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

[@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.

[@TheGreatest1974]

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

[@grahamflorence4823]

Spitfire looks amazing, shows off the timeless styling, great job!

[@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!

[@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!

[@mikestephenson8900]

It looks bloody beautiful! Should be mega proud 👍🏼

[@roberthocking9138]

You may have invented a new thing, “ wet polishing” great job 😁. I hope all the money and work you have put in gives a small profit when you sell it. It looks amazing. Painting metallic, in a shed with basic tools, is an amazing feat.

[@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 👍

[@DENISMEDLAND]

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

[@PandaMobileMechanic]

you have done a absolutely fantastic job, well done and something to be very proud of bringing this beauty back to life to live on forever. Looks absolutely stunning, Ben

[@stephenkeen1384]

When you were sanding those drips, I thought - no way. Then you polished….and then wiped off the polish…..magic! 😮

[@davidrix804]

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

[@johnmcmahon4364]

What a SUPERB job you have done Ben, the car looks amazing. Great weekend we have had. Well done mate

[@LeonardMagnusson]

westport wa.state usa. you and d d speed shop come pretty close to the normal guy at home have to do it. nice job kind sir.

[@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 👏

[@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 💕🐾💕🐾

[@TheHorsebox2]

Every time I think, "This is his best one yet", he outdoes himself. This is definitely, definitely the best one yet. I've been eyeing up that exact green for my Daimler. This guy is an achiever.

[@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. ❤

[@thqp]

The car came out so good! I personally prefer the black interior, but tan would match the roof nicely for sure!

[@chazkay4999]

Great videos on this 💯 10 per cent buddy 👌👌👌👌 more pls 👌👌

[@richardseabourne9545]

What an absolute top job Ben, you should be very proud of yourself. I bet your mum even gave you a big hug

[@TracyRedding-c6x]

Watching because I'm just starting on a 1978 Spitfire that has been garaged but not run in over 35 years.

[@dadratsforge]

That! Is! A! Stunning piece of work Ben. Totally unique with the colour choice and the wheels and roof etc. Brilliant series as well. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@springy-2112]

I'm so jealous! But also so happy to have watched you transform my dream car. Thank you so much for letting us join this adventure. 👍❤️✌️ edit... not "my" car . The car of my dreams! 😊

[@ballygarran]

More in-depth mini series like this. Great to see the highs and lows of car restoration. I understand that it’s financially, physically & mentally draining but the end results are amazing.

[@MrManBuzz]

There's been a lot of brilliant moments in this little series, but you sending it around that roundabout has to be one of the best haha.

[@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

[@GillyBerlin]

Ben, the car looks absolutely fantastic. The color is just magnificent! I admire in each video the amount of love for detail and, above all, the patience with which you work!

[@steveadams6183]

What an amazing final result. She’s an absolute stunner. Well done. Would love to see you do an extra episode on the engine.

[@DIESELHILUX]

Ben your my hero back yard bodgery at its best this mini series is brilliant love it that paint job is Mint no no fancy paint booth and not even a poly screen too stop dust or FLYS lol love it I hope this series blows your rating’s through the roof come on guys subscribe and comment Ben is our back yard hero he’s doing what we all do work with what we have nothing more all the best Ben thanks again Royboy in Yorkshire xx

[@hectorpascal]

VERY nice job! - but it still drifts round corners just like a Spitfire. 😊 (I used to have one!). A cream interior would really make it look awesome.

[@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, 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good Afternoon Ben and Rob.

[@richardshaw1919]

That looks the Bees Knees absolutely stunning and well done you.

[@QuickSplashVideo-rm2kh]

What an amazing transformation. You really surpassed yourself this time. You will have 100k subscribers before long.

[@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 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@Richardracky]

I think we all want that car. It's absolutely out of this world

[@waynelittle5583]

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

[@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!

[@LeeFradley]

You should be so proud of yourself Ben its amazing I'm so jealous. I loved the bit where it was stepping out on the roundabout super cool take care buddy.

[@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 👍🏻

[@DDLovett]

You asked how's everyone enjoying this series? I for one bloody loved it. I'm not a fan of patina (rusty old cars) I do love a gleaming tasty classic though and that is what we have here. Well done Ben. Beautiful job sir.

[@JohnNorrisMetalSculpture]

Proper nice job, that is stunning! great colour choice / hood choice. Enjoyed every minute of the series, deserving of the 7 million views!

[@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.

[@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.

[@georgesharman9891]

Ben that is an awesome job. Must be the best looking spitfire in the WORLD

[@kevingreen8581]

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

[@dsjno2]

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

[@robertoeagle7764]

There are some cars that’ll fight you & your hard work never pays off. However! The monumental amount of work you put into reviving this iconic British Sportster has paid off in spades! It could grace the centre spread of any classic car magazine. Fantastic modern touches with the paint choice & alloys. She’ll be loved by anyone lucky enough to own her. Bravo Ben! A real ‘Triumph’ 👍🏻

[@l401cjf]

Absolutely loved watching these 3 episodes over the weekend, can never get enough! Cracking job, really looks the part! Can't wait for the next one 🎉

[@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

[@fill7t1]

The colour really pops!. My heart was In my mouth watching you sand the runs down! That is one amazing project. She is stunning! ❤, I agree the cream or tan interior👌 The carrier on the boot is sweet!. Your hard work has certainly paid off massively. Camera work at the end 😊 . Outstanding Ben!

[@andrewspence8100]

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

[@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

[@liamjackson6930]

The Spitfire looks great, the good thing is Greta will be pleased to see it as it's a green car, and all the waste at the beginning was green so that should go down well with her

[@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

[@xerxes4863]

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

[@msnukem]

Froggie fire 🐸🔥 best series so far!

[@davidmckay7466]

Great series and I love how you try and include as much footage as possible. The Triumph Spitfire was the car that lit my passion for cars when my Uncle took me out in his Yellow Spitfire when I was about 8 years old, all I can remember was how low I sat and the wind rushing through my 80's Mullet. Keep up the good work Ben.

[@thenaughtyhusky7903]

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

[@robtorino]

I’ve seen the colour on a number of Peugeots recently and I’ve said the same thing every time, it’s got to be my best looking colour at the moment. You’ve done a superb job of that motor Ben, it’s been an absolute pleasure watching this series, you’ve properly excelled yourself, it’s a perfect balance of humour, honesty, practicality and sheer commitment to achieve your vision. It even gave me goosebumps mate at the end, the right camera shots, the music and seeing your chuffed face in the car. Take a bow Ben, thank you very much for the awesome content and thorough enjoyment, you give us lads tied down in long hour jobs the dream to maybe pull themselves out of it and get back to living a dream. Bless you mate

[@stevenadams3124]

Thank you Ben for glorious uplifting posts. Best series so far. You must finish by doing detailing under the bonnet. You know you want too. We do. 😊

[@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?!

[@akhenaten01]

Get yourself a black labrador, there sometimes a bit naughty,but when they look at you with those, i'M Sorry eyes, your heart will melt. They will be your best friend until the end. The green colour on that car, is just something, special, great job.

[@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 👍🏻🥇

[@timothymcauliffe-qe1vx]

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

[@103erik]

Great series. Very inspirational. Can't wait to get back to my project car, also can't wait to see your next project. Keep up the good work. You're well on your way to seven million views, pitty that it would only let me click "like" one time. Video is deserving of mulltiple likes by each viewer.

[@Dino_Dad.]

Ben, hats off to you mate. The time and effort youve put into the triumph is worthy of a medal . My primary school assistant head had one with a hard top in dark green so this was nostalgic for me. Awesome job🤟🤟

[@CraigHous-t8i]

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

[@sayurikitamura7109]

My hands and back hurts, just by watching this series 🫣 great job, Ben! So many good decisions🎉 She's gorgeous! (I loved the pub outro with Rob. Maybe, you could do a little reaction video for the patreons with Dickie or your mum❤)

[@PamelaHibbert]

Well Ben you have outdone yourself the Triumph looks so so good, well done

[@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 🇦🇺

[@jonathanmahoney1672]

A very well earned pint! 🍻 Amazing turnaround for this car.

[@simonmercer9530]

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

[@levelcrossing150]

I'm always keen to keep my classic car standard, but I have to say the Spitfire looks a little gem. It's a gorgeous colour which suits it well with the new soft top. Loved this series.

[@Ron_Lang]

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

[@jamiefarrell4425]

Ben you’ve done an incredible job on this car, it looks absolutely stunning! Please do the engine bay and finish it off properly.

[@gwengo4167]

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

[@scottcallis3491]

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

[@chris31uk]

What a result!! Truly awesome restoration and that colour is just fantastic. I've said it before but this is the best channel on any media platform now bsr none.

[@conradsmith7752]

I had a white Spitfire 1971 "J" plate in the early 90's. Wish I had kept it. That car looks gorgeous, testament to the hard work put into it

[@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!

[@Jaxs2]

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

[@andrewlamont3849]

Amazing job….pleeeease do the interior and the engine bay. Loving the Peugeot green. Best colour I’ve seen for a long time.

[@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 🤣

[@dreammaker730]

I cant imagine how much a paint job like that would cost at a body shop. Youve achieved a brilliant result for the cost of materials and youre own time in a lock up , i love it.

[@anthonysullivan3238]

Also glad to see that the speed awareness course was useful

[@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! 😁👏👏👏

[@ianhorabin9763]

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

[@Flieger671]

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

[@heckmacbuff]

All that work was 100% worth it. It looks very, very nice. Good to see it going sideways on a public highway!

[@carlosgrethe2494]
