So many new holes and no word on rust protection? :D

[euandalziel]

are you going to put bucket seats in because they would look so good on phil

[alexgeorge]

I feel like this is literally what always happens whenever you try to do something "simple" on a car. Every time I start a project on my car I've never done before, I make an estimate of how long it will take, and then triple it.

[davisharr]

Really hope you are getting bucket seats... the way the harnesses are mounted now in any big accident the headrest would bend/break, your harness would suddenly be loose and you would slip out of them, flying into the wheel and then bouncing off the wheel and hitting your head on the roll bar because the headrests fell off. If you get good seats however it will be track ready and no longer a death trap!

BTW, pretty sure you've got the springs set to their maximum height, rather than minimum height...

1:59 It's for attaching your tonneau cover (if you have one)

[liquicityvibes]

8:50 using thread locking compound after tightening a nut onto a bolt (on the protruding thread) is a certified application of the product advised by the manufacture..

[pepsiman]

shorten or remove the windshield for aero, then have a cover over the passenger side for the air to pass over

[Crisheight]

What a clusterfk, haha. This is why I'm here, this is why I'm watching. 10/10 were not disappointed.

for the seat belt mounts, my bolts didn't line up either. I used a c clamp to pull the bar to the tower. works great!

[CodyYankey]

Not sure of the rules at your tracks over the pond, but be sure you fit under the bar with a helmet on. The "broomstick test", as it be known. Safety first and great job guys. The whole time watching you I was cursing wanting to tell you about the roll bar bolts, gotta do a web search man, many people have been where you all were.

[hotrodlincolnchannel]

You guys are awesome, I was blown away when I saw your logo in the new Need for Speed game! I have at least one of your decals on all my cars.

Don't forget, good sport wheels alignment like the 949 Dual duty one.
Don't forget ajusting tires pressure for the track
Don't forget to top up fluids
Put Carbone Lorraine brakes pad on it

Nice project guys


PS: And because now you have ajustable coil overs, please use it properly by corner weighting your car, massive, massive enhancement

[admiralfloofz]

Id love to see the video where he tries to have an MOT with those seatbelts :)

[YuwanThayakaran]

I hope next episode will have - New seats, new steering wheel and wheel arches!

[jarmo]

you guys need to do an episode where you upgrade the speakers, and put a sub in. because reasons

[campbellgildersleeve]

I love ALL the mods! Next should be a small ducktail spoiler (Thats functional with the boot rack) and a hardtop snap on roof!
