'The Leaf' a ratty roadster, a prewar car build, part thirteen 'pickin' 

What a Saturday morning treat.... Pretty girl in a skirt , parts picking road trip , great music, wood boat tail hot rod that gives me huge respect for a young craftsman , and finished up with new life resurrected from the old . Happy birthday Lady Sas from the USA 🎉🎂🥂

The woodwork on the Austin 7 special chassis is glorious.

The birthday girl looks gorgeous! Thanks

Excellent music from Mr Hammond - good to see you spoiling Sas on her birthday 🙂The mystery object is a cylinder off something - Drive safe!

Wow !!! How cool is Louis 😎 What an amazing project. That car is going to be stunning. His Dad is so proud. Someone needs to give Louis some air time. Great family !! Love Leaf, the glove boxes are so cool ❤️

Great idea on the glove boxes! Happy belated birthday to the beautiful Sas.

I can’t think of a better way to starting the day than a cuppa, eggs on toast and you mate! Loved the Sas Bday out (only 57!). Genius glove boxes, I’m still smiling re those! And Jim Hammond blues, what’s not to love! Laters mush!

I love seeing what this guy gets up to in the workshop, I also really like it when he gives us a chance to see other enthusiasts projects, particularly when its a 22 year old guy using a Victorian lathe. Just proves that this hobby is not just for "old guys"! A great watch and great music.

Nice to get away from the workshop occasionally with a beautiful lady but always good to be back!

It's all about the build Brian I think...I've built so many bugs and buses then sold them on...loved finding stuff and building them up..its the chase dude 😊 the woody project sounds amazing!! You'd have to listen to The Cramps in that ❤😂

I've said it before and l'll say it again: best old car channel on Y/tube. A fabulous, diverse mix of cuttin', grindin', sawin', metal-stickin', Special-drivin' - and the Blues! Great version of the Hopkins ditty by yer man!❤

Many happy returns lady Sas, all the best people are 57 !!

Happy birthday Sas - you have a radiance that shines through!

The epitome of an episode, illustrating repeatedly what 'ingenuity over bucks' really means. Uplifting stuff, neatly musicked.

Your ability to see something that can be created, is staggering! The fuel tank to gloveboxes has my jaw on the floor. 😎👌😎👌😎

Happy Birthday Sas good music to build on.

Happy Birthday Sass. You caught me up as well. Thanks to Jim for the music too.

Happy Birthday Sass! Another cracking episode. Clever youngsters, amazing tunes, interesting visitors ... it had it all :)

I did daily content in February (3rd year). It is hard to make videos on a schedule when it takes days or weeks to get one thing finished. Anyway, great show as always!!! Cheers!!!!!

It’s a cylinder from a two stroke…. Happy Birthday Young Lady 🥳

Happy birthday Sass 🎉 Bryan your a lucky man

Happy Birthday Sass, that kids Austin looks a bit of alright. The apple didn't fall far from the tree. His Dad's Rover looks proper, goes well too. Great video Bryan

It's not a good week without a bit of wet Oak Swamp in yer life 😂 great weeks fun & music 5*****!

Excellent update 👍 Happy birthday Sass, from the underside🇳🇿🙃

So you celebrate your wife's birthday by collecting parts and she seems to enjoy it. You are my hero. Hopefully you did something else nice for her. Great progress on the Leaf.

Another brilliant video Bryan, Happy belated Birthday to Sas. Paul

That kid with the Austin 7 was incredible. I have that exact lathe. I lent it to my friend who is building a shovelhead chopper...Almost springtime in England I see..lol really awesome scenery . I have to come visit someday. You will have to come visit sometime as well. Oh and Bless you for that sneeze...I felt that from here..lol....Great idea making the gas tank into glove boxes....

Great episode Brian. Actually I did know what you were going to use the old fuel tank for. What a brilliant idea. I am now going to try to do something similar using a bread box or the like for our glove box on the Shed Weasel. Thanks.

Great vid. I'm amazed at how much stuff you've accumulated over the years that you knew would be useful at some point. The glove boxes are a really nice touch.

Good job with making old cars with your hands , The real deal you are😊😊😊!

Good stuff Bryan! Great music Mr Hammond! Happy Birthday Ms Sass!

Another very enjoyable episode thank you Bryan and also to Mr Jim Hammond for some very accomplished pickin and a strummin!

Absolute top shelf content all around yet again Bry. Happy bday Sas!

If I had taken my spouse for drive for car parts run for her BD, it would have been as welcome as buying her a vacuum cleaner for mother's day. Sas has tot be a real sweetheart🥰 Nice of you NOT to include any awkward gymnastics footage of Sas climbing in and out that makeshift dicky seat. Hope you got a good straight wheel for the Rat. Thanks for another great mix of motor cars and music.

happy birthday sAs from over here in France🥂🍾🍰 !!

First time viewer from Alberta, Canada...interesting channel. Subscription added.

Brilliant episode great music thanks so much 😎

Happy birthday to your lady! great ep!

Great video glad you like my family’s hobby shame I missed you maybe next time I will be around as well show you my air ride 2cv project

Love those glove boxes!

Great episode and music Bryan thank you

Happy Birthday Sass..(hope I got that right)

Yeah I think a Woodie project would be awesome it's what I'm thinking of doing . The Rover special was good and Louie's Austin seven is a quality build I enjoyed the music too.

Really like the glove boxes!

Awesome. Absolutely cracking idea on the glove boxes. Bugger the rain, you need a carport!!👍

By the way I live in a junkyard. I have about 40-50 cars pick-up trucks, and several big Simi trucks, and around 30 motorcycle and ATVs, I get a kick out of the big engines in England 750-900-1ltr . My 1972 IH cab over engine wrecker I'm currently working on has a 855 CI 2 cycle Detroit Diesel! That's about 14 ltr and the cylinders hit every time they hit top dead center, it' was rated at 318 HP But I built it to 450 HP 1000 lbs ft of torque "note i used the English way of saying that"?😂 Over 30 years ago it' sat in the desert for about 25-30yrs after the man I built it for died of old age, I just traded my 1947 Harry Ferguson farm tractor To own this one, I used a similar brew like you made for the sized 4 banger you freed up, and shot it with carb cleaner and she fired stait up first try, once running it self primed the fuel system and immediately settled into a buetiful idle, I was beside my self. So I killed it the old fashioned way, next start up I pegged the governor 2 times and got a face full of packrat shit out of the fan shroud, if interested hit my RU-vid channel and see a couple of shorts on the old girl, as you can see I have enough projects to keep me busy way past my death 💩🤠 I'm all alone now, my true love passed away some 19yrs ago, and I am the last living member of my family. But at age 60yrs I am back in the saddle, and depite a shit fuckin load of health problems, l decided to start back doing what makes me happy 😮 working on old ugly off the beaten path shit, doing it with no money Scrounging and trading for what I need!❤❤❤ 🇺🇸🇺🇸 for it but the engine was seized, after 4hrs of prep . I got her un-stuck

happy birthday sas, try massey ferguson tractor water gauges they looks cool

Great music, liked the resonator, great work as always and a Happy Birthday besides! Drier weather headed your way hopefully. Thanks

Looks like a air cooled cylinder for a royal Enfield vtwin maybe as early as 1925-39?🤠🎸

57 eh, I wondered why a 40s year old was with an old bloke like you, now I know :)) Happy Birthday and best wishes to both from Australia. PS you look OK too

Brits playing bluegrass, and doing it well! Truly amazing.

hi i did a triumph tr6 fuel tank full of rust!!! i half filled with chippings. then soapy water, then straped the tank to a cement mixer for a couple of hours, it come up like new in side😉 then sealed it👍

terrific, i am going to make a jockey box liner instead of buying a cardboard one for the '49 plymouth. thank you brian.

Great video. Really like the weekly format.. Love the handbag.. pretty jealous tbh.. ❤😂😂

Gas tank glove box...nice

I've been watching your videos since, I can't remember how long, only today did I connect the idea that the shop and your coffee area/jam studio sit on the same plot of land. All this time I thought you were doing this in a rented shop or something

Nice work again Brian, love how you made the gloveboxes, just genius. Btw, that’s a cilinder of a 2cv. Keep it up…

2CV cylinder barrel? Louie is a very talented young man!

i reckon its a cylinder from a 2cv or a radial aero engine, Jim does have a good style, his music is definitely welcome in my ears 👍

sell the rat and make a prewar 6 wheeled camper wooden body with little roof on top of roof with little windows

Another cracking garage session, top notch. As you were cutting up that fuel tank, I thought you were doing side storage pockets or something, like proper old Mini's have.

Thanks

Good stuff! I grew up in Hamble, we used to call your woods the little beach, and the reeds, i scived off school ( quite often really ) once and went down the reeds, i fell asleep, i didn't have a watch on , when I went home it was really late, it turned out loads of people had been looking for me , they thought i might have been abducted 😅

It always amazes me that you work in millimetres!

I just made a petrol tank for my Riley and used Red Kote as the sealant. I've used it on other tanks and it works really well and is ethanol proof.If you ever need to remove it it dissolves in Acetone.

Nice bit of dash work dude, hope sas had a good day

Great vid Bry, excellent stuff from Jim. I’ve been thinking of getting one of those wire wheel emergency shirt brakes, works pretty well for stopping the grinder quickly if you need the toilet or a sudden cup of tea.

Happy birthday !!!

My favourite episode so far! 😂 😘

Great stuff fella…..loving it……🎉

Excellent loved it and some lovely cars and music to boot 👍👍 cylinder block possibly vw or motorcycle??

The door stop is a air cool off a vw beatles t1 or t2 same engines in all. Mikey Merthyr tydfil ❤

Dont know weather you might be interested, I follow a guy in dorset called 6 d diesels . He has an old Austin for sale , needs work, was a car but was converted into a woody .

Good work..

Had my eye on those Rover P2,P3s for a bit. Longer in the chassis for us longer folk. Great picking from Jim. Ripped me bloody Swamp t shirt last week. Be on for another.👍 .

How bist there Brian. That do look like a Citroen 2CV cylinder

Brian, that cylinder you picked up looks like its off a 2cv engine

i remember in the 90s i saw a vw camper and someone cot the beetle roof off and put it on vw camper with skylights

Great to see a culture emerging making hot rods out of old British cars using British parts and engines. I get so bored with the usual Early American Ford/Chevy engine mixture and are like a breath of fresh air. I'd like to see a fenderless Ford Pop or similar with a Riley 2.5 liter engine out of an RME as it looks so good. The Leaf looks so good but that engine needs some parts - including an aircleaner - to make it look as old as the car its in.

Atco lawnmower barrel I do reckon…

Willie Mackenzie ARP products does some great things with fuel tank senders

I had no idea you would even consider selling the Rat. I would honestly be curious to know what you would hope to get for it. I would love to drive that on the road, but doubt I have the deep pockets of someone with a Bentley.

I've got a Smiths water temp gauge, which is yours if you want it. Bit scruffy but I think it works. Jeff

It’s a 2cv cylinder 😊

😊that looks like a barrel off an aircooled engine..Beetle/bus Brian???

Can you braze the tank. I patched one that way. worked great. :-)

It's a cylinder barrel, but for what, I haven't got a clue!

It's a air cooled barrel

2cv citroen cylinder barrel , a large oak swamp t shirt please

is it a barrel from an early motorcycle?

THE 'THING' IS A 2CV CYLINDER WALL

The product for derusting the petrol tank Lenox was it. Can someone let me know where to get it.

I recon it’s a vw type 1 barrel

its always her birthday you born 67 i born 68

Is it a barrel for the piston of a citizen 2cv

Mmmmmm

2cv barrel..

Hi buddy! How much is the Rat 🤑

2cv barrel?

Is it a cylinder head ?
