Harry's Garage has been annoying me lately, but this was a bit of a treat, I thought.

I didn't realise such a garage/place like that still exists/survives in Central London, I wonder what they might make of the words "Steyr Puch"....

Been following the head gasket replacement series on this, I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Genuine, no nonsense proper mechanic-ing. 

Thats just one video from the series, there are plenty more. 

There are very few content creators that I actually enjoy following and can easily sit through every video, watch it from start to finish and then anticipate the next one. This channel is definitely one of those!

I stopped watching those. His dad is fantastic though and I really wish it was just him in the videos.

I'd imagine they'd be fine with it. But seems like getting a slot with them seems quite hard.

I'm currently enjoying this guys video's
He is also mad keen on Mk4 Zephyr's & Zodiac's so his channel is worth a look if you like those too.

A properly fascinating car, hopefully this You tuber will resurrect it and all its unusual features, including air lockers on the passenger doors, side mounted boat lift and other oddities!

This is pretty cool actually, Aussie built US police spec Caprice rolling with a 350bhp V8 and on steelies. I can see the appeal here.

V6  Alfa Romeo engine in a 2CV. It is in Dutch, so subtitles could well be needed. Ironically when they are on and the car accelerates it says there is music. Being a Alfa V6 that is true.😄

It's in Dutch but you can kind of get the gist of it.

"I'm a mad cunt who put a V6 in it. It has perfect weight distribution as I had to put the gearbox in the back. It's hard to get insurance on but it's possible. But when you see it in action, it doesn't feel mad, it feels right".

Anyone else think this guy may have bitten off more than he can chew?

Looks like it should have been allowed to die in peace, it’s fucking fucked mate. Love to be proved wrong though!

[sheffcortinacentre]

All the gear & no idea,  nother one who probably thinks it'll be worth a fortune when done.

Love how they all watch wanker dealers & YouTube & think it's gunna be a doddle & take a few weeks.

Presume this is the one that was on eBay that looked like it had been stored on the titanic.

Even I wouldn't bother with this one & I've saved ( doing one at mo) so real basket cases.

I think he bought it from another YouTuber. They’re probably still laughing. Would love to see some you’ve saved, what would you do with mine?

[sheffcortinacentre]

My crayford needed 2 full length floor pans a full boot floor, full rear wing, bulkhead ends, full scuttle  & an engine, it's the only 1.6 auto that was done (9 of 28).

Spent a long time on the east coast ( 5 years with roof in tatters) in a carpark on a caravan site. Then 2 in a garden sunk to axles.

My bakkie needed full floor ,full chassis rail the front leaf spring mount had ripped out of chassis rail, both front subframe extension's, a full scuttle , full load box made from scratch ( when I bought it in the early 90's it was the only one known of in the UK, the original owner imported it when 3 years old when he returned to the UK it spent its life in Cornwall mostly in the sea I think).

I'm doing the mo saloon to pick up conversion on here somewhere for my mate.

Floor/sills had fallen out,no cab back obviously, repair/make B posts & a load bed (stepside style).

I get a kick from saving basket case oddballs especially when experts say not worth it,waste of time etc.

Done all sorts over the years.

Wether standard or modified,

What's wrong with yours pm some pics,

[Wibble]

Would love to see some pics of your Crayford .  Problems with mine are paintwork and it being generally heavy and not nice to drive. I’ve driven another, so I know it’s not just me forgetting how they drive after 30 years since my last. 
 

The real problem is me I reckon. Physically not able to do much these days, which has come rather earlier than I expected. Still, I hope to make some progress with it this year.

[sheffcortinacentre]

I hate doing bodywork, if it wasn't so expensive/hard to find it would be easy to fit you pas.

The steering is very heavy on crayford dunno why even original owner said it's why he sold it after a year &  bought another one.

Hopefully Inc is a pic of a pic of it as poor thing is buried in garage with bakkie &  the  1.6L saloon my father bought new.

[Wibble]

Brilliant, thank you. My Dad had 3 Cortinas from new, company cars. His boss borrowed his Mk5 for a couple of weeks, as he needed an estate., so Dad got he boss’s car. We thought the boss’s crystal green (?) 2.0 Ghia auto saloon was the dogs watsits with sunroof! Dad thought his 1.6 Auto estate was livelier. Maybe better sound insulation gave false pretension? Anyway, love Cortinas and hope to sort mine or will move it on.

We've probably had this before, but what is this garth driving at around 0.46; surely it can't be a Trevi?

 

Sorry not sorry.  Crazy Man is a top Prodigy tune.

Yes it's a Trevi.

One in three chance it's @Six-cylinder's... 😁

This is really clever.

I have asked the other silver Trevi owner if he knows anything about it and waiting for a reply.

Update

Now thought to be owned by Mark Wastnudge of Betaboyz.

Looks suspiciously like the one Aging Wheels has. Except his is quite clearly rotten underneath as it started to bend in the middle when he lifted it on the ramp.

Robert did say in a recent video he had sold the Lada to another YouTuber
