Default Will it start !

As the telly is a bit rubbish these days I tend to watch YouTube particularly classic car stuff.
Last night I came across this guy who is “restoring” a 1969 Mk1 Ford Capri.
Sorry I haven’t the link but if you look under “Will it Start” and scroll across I’m sure you’ll find it and boy is it worth a watch.

It gets rather interesting around episode 10 but the guy seems to have all the gear like sand blasting cabinet etc.

Look in sometime and let us know what you think, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Project Binky anyone !

I am not sure I could commit myself to watching this. I think I would get to anxious or angry lol.

Flicked through a couple of episodes (so I cannot be sure if I am correct in thinking like this), but why the **** has he not just taken that engine out? I was watching a section where he was wondering where water leak was, grabbing the HT leads as the engine was running, I was waiting for a crack, and him bouncing backwards in pain, or dead! lol A lot of the comments seem to have people interested in it, so maybe he is actually doing something right lol.

Yes I was waiting in anticipation when he held the HT lead but the big surprise was that sand blast cabinet, I mean he didn’t even wash any engine parts down.

Did I mention the brand new Weber carb !
