Stu Faulkner Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 I would have thought the whole car will have to be stripped back to the bare shell so it can be painted. If you leave the plugs off you would never know if everything works. At least the way they are doing it proves everything in stages rather than in one big lump at the end. 1 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 2, 2018 Author Posted November 2, 2018 Exactly, they are constantly plugging everything in and testing as they “complete” any section of loom. Just like they laid it all out and mocked it up on the workshop floor in the early stages. Quote
corsechris Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 I’m in the same place really, complete and test every system, knowing full well it all has to come apart later for paint. Painful at times, but it is the best way to go about it. 1 Quote
shrops-paul Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 The guys are pretty local to me in Shropshire. I’ve asked them if I/we can visit in the spring to see the car and have a chat & cuppa. Richard has replied and seems supportive. I’ll get back in touch with him after the winter. 1 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 30, 2018 Author Posted December 30, 2018 Episode 21 should be up, (for Patrons) tonight, 8pm ish, and for everyone else, tomorrow evening, (The 31st) as a New Year’s Eve treat! 2 Quote
Thrustyjust Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 Something for later today as my head isnt up to it yet this morning Quote
Thrustyjust Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Shock, horror, its here already , episode 22. 1 Quote
McFrancis Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I've just started watching these from the beginning, following the recommendation on here. What a brilliant build, and all rather humbling, these guys can cut/weld steel more accurately that I could knock up a simple CAD. Pleade, No spoilers I'm only on episode 5. Quote
Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Episode 23 is on the Tube. Coming thick and fast now. Met them at the Raceretro show. What a nice couple of blokes, very genuine. 1 Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 And if Binky is not enough .....The escargot episode 1 is out !!! Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 13, 2019 Author Posted April 13, 2019 Watched yesterday, it’s quite different to Binky, but for those of us sad enough to be wearing BoM onesies while outside working on our cars, it was good fun! The production values are way more like the very early Binky episodes, before they got as slick as they are now, but it’s a measure of both guys, that their presenting style and personalities still shines through, and in my opinion carries it off - though you might want to reach for the volume control when they’re driving the Cargo to the weighbridge, it’s hideously loud in that thing, and sounds awful! 1 Quote
CraigHew Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 I watched it too, although watching 2 guys strip out the interior wasn't great I'm sure when they start building it up again there will be some interesting solutions. Quote
CosKev Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Quite satisfying watching other people struggle with rusty bolts ! And all the crap dropping on his face! Quote
