Preparing a Rolls-Royce Corniche | New Exhaust, Chrome and Paint | Classic Obsession | Episode 26 

Brilliant job , I was terrified whe you took sandpaper to that bonnet. Great job😮😊

One of the many aspects I love about your channel Gary is that you show you don´t need thousands of pounds worth of expensive kit or dedicated sealed off work spaces to achieve truly excellent results. I can´t help but to cast my mind back to my childhood helping my late uncle in a drafty old wooden double garage restore his old vintage cars late into the night with those old caged hand garage lamps attached to the bonnet to shed light on some usually electrical problem (well, they all had Lucas Electrical systems!) or setting tappets with feeler gauges and such and my reward always was an illegal driving lesson early on a sunday morning in Dawlish Warren car park! Before legal driving age I had driven quite the assortment, Saabs, Lagonda, Spitfire Renault 4 and 5, MGB GT; Shadow first series in Garnet with dove grey leather and series II in peacock blue with magnolia piped in French Blue. All your videos cast my mind back to the 70´s and early 80´s and those times. Your channel is a joy to watch, thank you for taking the time to make the videos.

Bring back the La's!!!

My favourite car RU-vid channel now. ❤

I have just found your channel and am really enjoying it. Thank you from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hi Gary, absolutely the right decision on doing the re-chrome, looks great

Blimey Gary I got all excited and then you pulled it and then reloaded it you're such a tease😂😂😂

The Rolls looks fantastic. Lovely Job.

It was great to see the Rolls and the Lotus at the NEC and to get the chance to chat with Gary. I look forward to seeing the Lotus chassis being replaced.

1:14 I wonder if that's new music by Lee...it's a good acoustic guitar sound, regardless.

Very very nice

On a car like this no matter how good the paint is it’s the chrome that makes the car look new or old.

Great to meet you yesterday . The Rolls Royce was even more stunning in person, and the Lotus ❤

Keep up the good work 💪☝️

The Rolls looks 👌🏻 Cannot wait to see the Lotus and the Porsche finished too. Thanks for sharing what you do.

It was good seeing the Elite and the Corniche at the show. Looking forward to seeing more of the cars on the channel.

SPIT SHINE!!!!! (Kidding) coming along nicely, boy I can't wait to see what goes on with that 928.

Money well spent on the chrome, Gary. Looks fantastic. Thanks for the video

Great to meet you at the show on Friday. Loved your cars and really enjoy the videos.

Great work Gary ,keep it going

You had me on the edge of my seat spraying the bonnet. Your overalls were so close to the edge! 😅

What a proper fella 😎 Get yourself down to The Warren in Danbury in the summer and I’ll sort a pint out 👍🏻 Thanks for taking the time you’ve put into this.

Great job , as always Gary. That chrome work has literally transformed the car. The Lotus looks promising too. Good stuff

Amazing Chrome! Your hood is looking great. Love the Rolls. Also love the "before and after" display on the Lotus at the car show,

Awesome episode, quite some hours of sanding and polishing to get that shiny hood!

Hey Gary ! Great to meet you yesterday , both George and I enjoyed talking to you and it was wonderful to see both the Rolls and the Lotus in the flesh; The Rolls does really look superb - such a gorgeous looking motor and a real credit to you. Even without the freshly painted bonnet fitted the car looks fantastic! Seeing the car was like seeing an old friend and was a great feeling walking round it and being able to see how good the new chrome looked and how impressive the finish on the hood and lining were. My gran would be proud of your sewing skills 🙂 The Lotus was looking good yesterday and have t say the interior was a lot better than it looked om the video and didn't appear to have suffered much ware considering the mileage either !. Looking forward to seeing the Lotus and the Porsche progressing in the coming months and look forward as usual to the next episode ! what is the XJS upto ? Again great to see you yesterday - Cheers Stew

The episodes are never long enough.....'leave them wanting more'.....😂

That chrome is awesome 👍

Brilliant job, thanks for a great channel ❤

Truly marvelous production work. Wall to wall love of the craft.

Alright there Gary, sounding a bit rough there mate. Hope you feel better soon.

Love this show. Top music too!

Another great watch, thank you 👍

Great video Gary. 👍🏻😀

The chrome looked fantastic under the unforgiving lights of the NEC.

Look forward to these videos.

Fantastic, as always. As others have commented, please get busy with the Elite.

Glorious ❤

Another great job done. Always amazed with your work

Fantastic job.

Fantastic job...

thank you always enjoyable video

another brilliant job sir

Please wear eye protection when working underneath the car Both cars are turning out great

There are still lots of swirl marks on that Lotus, though

Spanking Order! Well done

Meny years ago my chrome was dune by two retierd guys in bridge end they only did small items they worked out of a large shed in there garden 30 pluss years later still good you only get what you pay for as my mother use to say

Great video Gary Chrome looks the part Your car ramps look a bit small for a roller mate , they look like they are groaning

Another excellent video Gary, thank you. I know you are not a tutorial channel but it would be nice to have a bit more information about the processes used. For example, what grits you used when prepping the bonnet. Regards.

hi Gary when doing paintwork on it standox 2k is your only man

When I did these screens back in the day I always cut out the rubber and fitted a new one.Then the chrome strip didn't distort at all. you then fit the chrome into the new rubber and pull the screen in with the 'old string'.

Really enjoyable film, thank you. BTW, is the music by your brother?

That's a trfile annnoying - putting in all that hard graft only for life to get in the way to prevent you fitting the bonnet. Grrrrr. Thanks for sharing.

The bonnet strip is on backwards

🤘😎🤘

A lot of early cars are cellulose. Are there any problems mixing paint types on different panels - like 2pack and cellulose?

Were the spolights/fog lights only a British item on these cars. I don't remember US models having them? If they did, does anyone know what years they were standard/optional on these Corniches?

Did you paint the underneath of the bonnet before you went to your mate/paint shop?

Chicken and a can of Coke in Scouse is so funny.Probably the worst accent are Sarf Africun.

Air hose almost touched edge of bonnet during black colour coat....

What's the best stuff for black plastics? Even Meguiars is gone after a short while....

Doing the screen without removing the dashboard? I'm impressed as up until now I have only seen this reference and the chap recommends removal of the dash: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EKDuyHHfb9A.html Did you however at least loosen and pull the dash away a little to get to the seal to cut it or left it totally alone? Also, the A-pillar & inside rear-view mirror trim had to be removed I guess? so many questions! 😉 Brilliant video though Gary - your videos give hobby mechanics like myself the confidence to try things - many thanks and keep up the brilliant work!

please use different music....
