This takes restoration to a new level. The processes, skills and attention to detail are superb.

Wonderful, thanks for sharing!
Fascinating! Thanks for posting this.
Bit of WD40 and that would have been fine.
Love watching these kind of vids, cheers for that👍
I’m not sure, given all the replacements, that I’d have gone to the trouble of rescuing those screw eyes though!
Great job but cant help thinking he’ll be mangling a digit or hand one day soon judging by his use of the dollar drill.
A short extra showing how he made the cover box for the electricals.

This kids got skills. The final assembly must have been satisfying after all the hard work.

That brings back memories of O level metalwork, Prussian blue, a fine scriber and the smell of lathe cutting fluid !
These skills are becoming the exception rather than the norm - many of my class went straight into engineer roles at Cammel-Laird and Ford in Halewood.
Both are long gone, replaced by CAD design and robotic assembly. I started my apprenticeship at a Suzuki dealer in Liverpool, and have enjoyed a lifelong passion for fettling and restorations.
My sons look on with horror as I describe the weekly ritual of checking points, timing and adding oil to an SU dashpot.
They have little interest in how stuff works, or how to fix it when it stops - which is a shame.

Honestly thought I would watch the start, fast forward and then see the end result.
Nope, the 25 minutes flew by. Really enjoyed it.
