Thank you for this series which I have followed since the beginning. I have a 1968 series 2, 2+2 which I am recomissioning, and watching you is giving me a good understanding of what I have to do. Mine had sat untouched for 30 years and I have managed to get it running and driving but still a lot to do. Keep up the good work, and thank you.
Thanks very much for your kind words Jason, I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos and finding them useful. Yours sounds like a great project, good for you getting it up and running after such a long time!
Haha, you’re right, I’m incredibly old fashioned and am definitely owing at getting a decent impact wrench. There is a small benefit of feel in knowing when you’re about to shear a bolt or strip a thread in doing it by hand but point taken, I could definitely do things more quickly! Thanks for watching, glad to hear you’re enjoying 😊
Great video. Enjoyable for us, plus it will be invaluable when you get to put it back together! I have been quite fastidious with the labeling and photographing when dismantling my resto, but I still have the occasional black spot. Enjoying seeing your progress.
Thanks Steve, very kind of you! Yes it’s good to have a way of staying organised with everything! I’ve just got 10 large storage boxes and made additional shelving in the workshop as I know I’ll need it when I strip the car to a bare shell. Next episode coming soon!
@@fossewayclassiccarworkshop has it started playing up,worn out ,burning oil etc or was it always going to be restored. Only commenting because i thought it was a usable e-type, just needed refreshing or is it one of those " on closer inspection " great videos . Jon
Thanks Jon. The car was restored previously in the 90’s (details unknown) and has only done minimal mileage until 2014 then nothing until now. The project started off as a recommission which would have amounted to a full service, run it and hope alls well. Now that it’s a full restoration, the engine is a bit of an unknown quantity and cosmetically looking tired, so as I’m shipping the car to Australia to my brother when it’s finished it makes sense to do a full engine overhaul too so we know it’s spot on.
