Such a underrated channel, great editing a you have such a personality! Can’t believe you do not have way more subs!

Love the bit with Terry using a pair of plyers as a hammer. Our Teutonic friends would not be pleased. " it's not the tools. it's the way you are using them"

74 TR6....yeah baby!
There's a '71 280z in the shop next door to mine, YAY

I love all the early 70's imports....MGB Spitfire TR6 240 and 280z's great little bombing around

I thought I saw that, well now I am a qualified couch mechanic. Imagine my happiness. Great to watch a guy who is not afraid to get out of his experience range.

Lou, you have a great, likeable personality which makes your videos even better.

[AdamDUrso]

These are getting better and better. Really enjoying the journey!

The ATE calipers do have a tendency to be noisy so you need to put anti-seize along the pad edges and on all the contact surfaces of the mounting pins and springs. That and a light chamfer to the edges of the pads will ensure totally quiet brakes. Also the sway bar looked to be biased left a little. This is super common as it is almost impossible to center it in one go. Loosen the mounting bushings and give it a good whack with a rubber mallot to get the drop links vertical then tighten up. Looking good as always.

Totally agree with David....the very best of YouTube

And a proper paint job. But at the end of the day you're still ahead. Can't wait to see the car when it's complete.

Saw you filming some content when I picked up my car the other day, needles to say I have binge watched all the episodes now lol. Great series so far!! Its awesome to get an up close and personal look at how these cars were made!

Discovered your channel from the recent Jalopnik article. Really like your editing style: speeding up the nitty gritty while narrating with interesting comments.

Brilliant! Love this rebuild of your 308! I also agree - any nut and bolt should have grease applied. It's an old school rule...

[howardscott]

Nice work! Italian engineering can often be a head scratcher, if not a head acher!

[georgesbonellodupuis]

If I ever had to buy a 308, it would have to be this one. Great attention to detail Lou. Luck man who buys it after you.

[bowslap]

You've reeled me in on the 308 content, officially subscribed now....

[tonygSDWR]

I'll never click off at an outro Lou!

[chrissax]

A really amazing episode!!! Thank you so much for doing it! When I buy my 308, I will watch the the episodes again and at least try to fix most things by myself!! Awesome work!!

[clivehewitt]

Enjoying seeing the car coming together now, like that you tell us how it is👍

[stephenclatworthy]

Good job with the split pin Lou i'm fusy like that

[armedferret]

It's not always easy to admit we boned up and missed a step; really appreciate you putting it out there that you're human just like the rest of us and it's okay to take a few minutes to correct it. So many out there would just gloss over it on their "rebuild" videos...thanks for not being them. ;)
