  This is the perfect car to practise welding on, &nbsp;they&apos;re super simple, extremely reliable, and not rare enough to worry about &quot;learning&quot; on. You have fallen on an absolute bargain here and I am sure I can speak for the rest of your viewers that we would certainly not be sad to see this car back for a series on patching the holes, putting in some interior, and tuning the electrics. You&apos;d be amazed how easy it would be to turn this into a road worthy &quot;rat rod&quot;, and super cheap given the aftermarket parts availability and commonality. Especially as it has an overdrive box and what sounds like a basically mint engine! <br><br>Loved every minute of this, as you say, there are few better ways to spend your time!

  I want to thank you! My Wife stumbled across my stash of cars in the barn which was also compounded by me asking if she fancied a day out next week, just the two of us for a nice lunch somewhere, Leicester.... to pick up another car. The divorce papers have remained in the bed side table thanks to me showing her NEV vlogs and pointing out it could be worse, &quot;at least I&apos;m not like this chap?&quot;

  I bought a 1978 Triumph Spitfire and that&apos;s how I developed my drinking problem.

  The last 2 videos justify the channel&apos;s name quite well

  I’ve watched you since your Cooper S days and just want to congratulate how much you’ve learned and grown as a channel. It’s great you have a supportive wife and that your little son in getting involved. I have a toddler who loves tools because of me and I hope yours does too!

  Very watchable, no egos or silly music, this is what car shows should be like, no expert just a bloke like my mates and I giving it a go!
