1966 Triumph GT6 - Part 7 - Let's Make Some Patches 

It's a real pleasure seeing things come together without thousands of dollars worth of machinery. Thanks for sharing your talent and expertise, Elin.

Another master class in metal work Elin, well done and thank you. Kind regards, Richard.

Elin, for the love of Pete, can you please fix your vise securely to your workbench...😊. Keep up the interesting videos.

Elin, your Metal Fabrication skills have gotten so great over the past 3-4 years, magical really, well done!!!

After finding your channel a few years ago when I bought my own Mk 3 GT6 I was inspired to buy my own welder and learn how to weld. I'm still not in your league but I'm happy with the work I've done on various projects. My most recent task was to modify a stainless steel exhaust system by cutting and welding. I wasn't even sure that you could weld stainless with conventional MIG wire but the result seems fine. Many thanks for the inspiration, Elin. 🙂 Richard

That’s a cute pup! Perfect names for the shop pets. Liking your choice of music too.

It's amazing just how much rust is getting repaired. I thought my GT6 was bad but it's in better shape than the one Elim is rebuilding. Thanks for the videos, they have been very helpful.

Good work and always thinking, Elin. Jade Muttley had a post on making a repair section like that, using a simple wood form and air chisel, with a rounded off shank. Sadly. all of Jade's posts have disappeared off of the web and I hope that we have not lost him to the dreaded Covid. I love watching your work and seeing your skills and analytical thought processes create logical repairs.

Another great video Elin. Lovely puppy. We have 2 dogs we rescued and brought with us when we returned from Bulgaria!

Elin your a magician never seen a car with so much rust was it under water I hope your getting well compensated for bringing this car back to life.

Excellent work again, love seeing metalwork being done.

My day job is designing the tooling that makes these type of parts. All done with CAD and CNC machines and simulation software. I love watching you make the parts with such basic tools, amazing skill. Love Rusty as well.

First….should be working…..looking great. Yes, your adapting well not having things like your bead roller and brake at home.

Very nice job (re-) making that body mount

I'm going to need to do that same exact repair on the passenger floor. This video is like a "David tutorial"!

Its looking really good with that new floor pan. You are doing a great job adapting to working without all the machinery as you have at work. Looking forward to how it came together.

I used to have a Jack Russell called Patch. There's a theme going here...

Great work Elin.. Sometimes I found the hardest part of dealing with a particularly motheaten body was 'where do you start' .. ? I presume on this occasion, you asked Rusty ! .. Brilliant job on making the new floor pan.. Looking forward to seeing how you did it..

Bolts in the vice…nice (about time).

Nice repair. For those thinking its too big a job you need to not overthink it. Break it down into parts finish one part and move to next.

Hi Elin. Don't worry, your own workshop is in its' infancy, bit at a time it will get there. Those spot weld cutters are great when you get used to them. I hated mine at first, but if you drill a 1.5mm (might be 2mm, can't just remember now) pilot hole straight through the centre of the spot-weld for the centre pin to locate into and use some cutting compound to prolong the cutter life they work great. You can always weld up the holes later, but quite often there is no need because they coincide with plug welds. Keep up the good work!

Loving it!

Rusty……he is gorgeous!

Fitzee made his own brake out of angle iron and it seems to work well. Your skills always impress me. I love your puppy - I see he has learned to keep his distance from the cat!

You should make a little shed or a shed so you can do bits and pieces or spraying so you don't get spray all over your tools I don't know if you thought about doing some powder coat you can get a resource size oven put the stuff in there to be Stoner so the paint is hard

Thx 😊👍🚗

I've learned to keep my pointer puppy out of the garage. She likes to chew the rusty bits I've scrapped of my '74 Alfa. Still Rusty might not like to eat rust.

I have 3 brakes....( not bragging ) A 8ft sheetmetal brake that does 22 guage full width..( bought used but was reconditioned and painted ) A 4 ft Finger brake that does 22 guage full width ( i bought a new one as they are hard to find used here in my province )...it was reasonable priced...well worth the cost... And a cheap Princess Auto 3 ft brake that can do 16 guage...i bought it about 25 years ago before getting my better brakes..it was cheap..like $300 with a stand ( mine had stand legs that were not welded straight but that was easy to fix )... It still is available and worth the Sale Price ( if you can get it on Sale ) it actually is great to have if 36" is wide enough for ones needs and clamps like a normal brake so quick to use.... I still use it alot and have a big shop so it isn't an issue to keep it... A " Real Brake " makes work fun... I luckily learned on a Big 10 foot Brake 30 plus years ago... Those little brakes " work " but are limited to what you can do and clamping like that would drive me crazy quickly...but you gotta use what you can sometimes.... Tools are an investment in getting jobs done easier and make your work better ...

...this one looks... not too bad

I don't know have you heard or hear about the laser the Chinese laser to clean rust and a laser welder where it has different kinds of attachments I'm just letting you know have you heard of it but I have watched stuff on RU-vid it looks like a fantastic bitter kit they say this is taking over of MIG or Tig wel and you can use this to weld underwater it will be good to hear your on it

What did you call those things that on your new replacement rear lower panel and where did you get them?

How much do the floor pans cost, inner sills, would save so much time

We lost our 14 year old Female dog ( mother to our 10 year old Male dog ) this summer and got a pup..she looks similar to your dog...more white on her paws and a burst of white on tip of tail...a Great Pyrenees/German Sheperd cross..about 14 months old now and near 50 lbs... What breed is yours?? Very cute pup!!

Another great update and some solid progress. Check your email, I need your address! 😊
