Very interesting, I've got the same bender and notcher (as yet unused) it's nice to see them working well. BTW Please cover/move engine parts before cutting tubes!

Great work and great video 👍🏻

Hello. I thought the bend template was an interesting idea. Did the 10cm distance between the punch marks change after bending due to stretching? I don't think it matters that much if it did, but I was curious. Thanks.

+Chuck P Hey Chuck, yes the tube streatches as its bent, so its finished length changes, but the length you need to complete the bend remains the same.

Nice work. Are you planning on just a mid engine or making it all wheel drive with one in the front as well?

[@VisionAutoGarage]

+Michael Bradley that thought of a twinnie has crossed my mind! But for now it will run as mid engine, with progression to turbo.

Are you sticking to the 4 cylinder K series or maybe a V6 a bit 6R4 ish ?

[@VisionAutoGarage]

+Jimspeed 13 sticking to the 4 pot for now, probably turbo later on when its shaken down.

[@jimspeed1388]

Are you planning on showing the engine build up as well. My experience with the K series back in the day wasn't good due to head gasket issues but I know if there built properly with the freelander head gasket there no bother.

Jimspeed 13 yep, loads of K parts on the bench 👍🏻
