Today's video is somewhat different as I decided to post a video with no editing. I felt it would be the best way for you guys to experience with us how the first drive went!
Nice to see her in motion! Teething problems are expected. Been watching this build since the beginning. Can’t wait to see what future projects you have in store.
@@BroughBuilt Hi Danie. I've been thinking a lot about your next build. I still think my Alfa 158 will be a walk in the park for you, but what I'd really like to see & which is infinitely more desirable & even more rare, is a C Type Jaguar. Your D Type build, would've gone a long way to preparing you for a build like this. A lot of the components will be similar & another XK engine & running gear should be relatively easy to source. It is also a car that you will be able to register to drive on the road. The Ford big block, limits you quite a bit, but if I'm correct, your biggest limitation, particularly when building a coupe, is the glass. To find someone to cut & shape the front & rear windscreens, is not going to be easy. Whatever you build, is going to make for interesting viewing anyway. I look forward to it
Sounds superb! It looks like you’re sitting high in the car. I’m sure you’ve seen everything but there’s a great film with Mike Hawthorn narrating a lap of Le Mans back in the day.
Monumental job , I just don't believe that I would want anybody to see all the little things I have to fix or maybe even my mistakes , I'm not perfect but sometimes I look back and feel daa ,that was just wrong or maybe stupid, guess I m a bit self conscious , keep up the good work
Amazing. Love to see you making progress. Is this your car? I thought you said in videos from a long time ago that it was someone else’s car and you had taken on the project. It looks so small on the street. Are the proportions correct to the original? (Overall length, width, height etc)
I did a build with extractors like yours and the alternator was in the same position as yours. The heat from the extractors was immense. Way more than i ever expected. It melted the internals of the alternator especially the regulator. I built a heatshield for the alternator and i suggest one for your build would be a great idea.
I also wrapped the Exhaust extractors with motor cycle exhaust wrap. That made a big difference. As stated I made a shield for the alternator and another shield for the extractors. Cheers @@BroughBuilt
Danie, Good Day! What a lovely sight to see your D Type doing its maiden run, and the issues were minor! Did I follow correctly, the vehicle to be "delivered to its owner"? Now to see her upholstered and finished off! You have built a beauty! ..and is that a "buck" for something planned in the background? Now about that visit!... Smiles!
Hi Danie, maybe you can get rid of two shock absorbers on the rear suspension.Most probably the suspension came out of an XJS which was heavy cars but lovely for their time.
McLaren GT is the best of the best! Interior and exterior. It looks just like the real thing. I have seen many replicas of other people's cars on the net, but they are not perfect. I have seen many Lamborghinis and Ferraris, but the lights are different, and the Countach is easily recognizable as a replica. If you are going to make another replica, I would like to see the Ferrari F50GT, which is one of only three in the world. I believe you can make a perfect F50GT! I look forward to more of your perfect replica car creation videos in the future! From Japan!
Thqnk you very much for the kind compliment. The problem with Ferrari replicas is that the company don't like it at all. Worried they will want to seize and desist 😥
Wow the first drive and she looks like a million bucks, so excited to stretch her legs she even peed a little 🤗 Danie you have a steeep driveway man 😯 awesome to see another pair or hands in the shop assisting you now 👍🏽 Another great episode !! looking forward to the next one, cheers.
Didn't burn down or get hit by a taxi....... Successful first drive I think.... Ps.... That motorhome..... Is NEVER going out through the front... Hehehehe.
