#460002 - Restoration

Another great video, Serge!

I used hot water to get the bearings out of the upright. This was specified in the TC workshop supplement, but I didn't see that spelled out in the S1/S2 workshop manual for some reason.

Happy new year everyone!

New year, new video!

I managed to edit the video on making the poly bushed engine mounts.

Next up is the poly bushed gearbox mount that I made, I'll try to share it sooner rather than later...

Very nicely done, Serge! I was thinking that was a lot of work for something you can buy but I see Richard sells them for over 100 pounds each so it makes sense. I can't wait to see you start assembling the car! Keep up the great work.

[Serge]

Yes, it is quite a bit of work, but if you don't count the hours needed to build them, you are better of making them yourself. The bushes and housings aren't expensive to buy. This car is definitely built, not bought...

[Chuck Nukem]

Built not bought indeed!! Impressed as always!

Excellent work and video as always very informative.

[Serge]

Thank you all for the kind comments!



I had some time to write up a post about the poly bushed gearbox mounts that I designed and built, so here it is:

Another great video, Serge! I can't wait to see the rest of them!

Thanks for the video. I'll watch all of it later, but it may prove helpful as I'm ripping the axels out of my Special in a couple of weeks for bearing and u-joint service. Cheers.

[Serge]

I have a separate video coming on the installation of the stub axles in the uprights. I'll try to get it together soon.

[Runningwild]

Thanks Serge. I'll be at that point in a few weeks. Keep the videos coming. Tremendous help.

[Serge]

New video online!

In this video I'll tackle the assembly of the rear suspension including the stub axles and drive shafts.

Just found your restoration videos last night and watched a number of them. Excellent work Serge! I'm really impressed by your level of work and attention to detail. Even more impressed that you seem to be working in a garage that has limited tools and equipment. Very inspiring!
