warren t claim Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Right, that's every clip I can find so far. Obviously, I don't want to "own" this thread so if any other shiter sees something new and relevant from Thames TV pop up in their YouTube inbox then please add to the thread. I think there's enough merit in their uploads to warrant a thread of their own away from our normal YouTube thread. Sheefag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adw1977 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Yeah, Golders Green hasn't changed much, although sadly the cars have! Having said that, a 1971 Humber Sceptre drove past me there this afternoon, it would have been right at home in the video above. In the cut and shut video, at about 2:40 the presenter says that you could legitimately weld the good front half of one car to the back half of another and it would be perfectly roadworthy, if done properly. Is that really possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Really don’t like the tone of Tony Bastable. Videos are good though, I think there’s one somewhere where he tests a U.K. spec Mustang 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really possible? As far as I know, for a car before the implementation of high tensile steel bodywork (which started with the 1983 W201), it would be perfectly fine to weld two ends of a car together without it affecting too much the already crap crashworthiness of these cars. People are still doing it today. Legality depends on jurisdiction. For it to drive properly though you'd need proper jig and measurement. Apparently the best way to do it is to joint them at the original spot welds. adw1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETCHY Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I used to love wandering around scrapyards. There was a great yard in Cheshire called Statham Enterprises that we used to go to in about 1990 when I had a 105E Anglia as they still had loads in, it was mental, cars were piled 3 high & you took your life in your hands getting to them. Great stuff ! Most old yards have now gone & are now housing estates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to post that, but most of it is literally, rubbish. 95% of which looked recyclable too - not a plastic bag or bottle in sight. We've come so far!
