Yeah, finally getting to the end 😊 don’t think she’ll ever be truly finished though, still loads of things we want to do even after she’s back on the road. There’s other projects as well, like the cb500 scrambler project I started a while back, and has been on hold for a while. I also need to decide what I’m doing with that cursed Vauxhall Omega, so that could become a project. And I’ve got a couple of other projects I’d like to start once misty is on the road

Wow, that’s an amazing price, even for one that needs work. Good luck with it!

@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness it's gonna be a great bike. Fired it up yesterday and it sounds very healthy. Currently cleaning the carbs and about to reassemble

Think I might get a tshirt with that on it, it really sums up life with a project car, especially an old one in a rust promoting climate 😅

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness could be your first merch product. 🙂

Yeah, add it to the ever growing list 😂

I don’t think Misty will ever truly be finished 😅 and then we’ve got other projects to finish and some new ones to start

Thanks! Really appreciate it 😊

25 years with an MR2 is awesome, did you get the turbos in Germany? We only got NA over here. Yeah send me a message in August and we’ll organise getting a drink or something 👍

No Turbo unfortunately, it's a RHD GLimited import from Japan, now registered in Germany, bought it at a large Japanese sports car dealer in Weten Super Mare called East to West imports, they're not there anymore unfortunately. I recognised some roads you drive on. Yes, I contact u in August 👍👌

Thanks for sticking with us all these years 😊 what is your project car?

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness A 2001 Mazda Miata. Had it apart pretty much completely, did full service, replaced most stuff and upgraded what needed to be upgraded. Still haven't been back on the road. I started six years ago XD If you're curious about MY journey, you'll find a playlist on my channel named "Project Bumblebee". I go through many of the same pains as you XD

Awesome, I’ll check that out, I love finding other project car journeys on RUclips 😊

That’s awesome you’ve had yours for 30 years, were you the second owner? Good luck with the new sills

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness Yes, the second owner, well, via a car dealer in the middle. It's a red T-Bar.

Thank you! Good luck with your civic, although project cars are never truly finished 😅

Thanks 😊

That’s a good idea, I’ll try that next time, thanks!

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness it works good for the bolts on the CV joint too!

Thanks!

I think that was a perfectly appropriate reaction to the situation 😅

Thanks! I really appreciate that 😊

True, there’s a decent sized bit of private parking outside the workshop that I can do some low speed tests on at least

That’s a shame, a lot of them go out that way 😕 so far I’ve really lucky with rust on Misty, just all the other issues we’ve had instead 😅

That’s a really good idea, especially as I find RUclips doesn’t always keep track of what I’ve watched. Think I’ll start doing that 😄

Glad we could help 😊 how much more have you got to do on your MR2?

Thanks!

Yeah no, ~$300 CAD for some old camry (apparently) rims that you probably don't even need as I doubt people there normally have a set of both winter and all season tires. Also, that you could likely find nicer ones at a local garage sale for <50.

Appreciate the thought but I really like the stock rims, and Misty’s are in surprisingly good condition

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness They look beautiful. I have a spare set for mine (mine are the older ones) which I bought to get refurbished to put on when I get the rest of the car refurbished!

It was watching AVE that started it for me, and now I can’t stop 😖

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness My aeroplane mechanic does that when working on my aeroplane. Funny thing, I can see how much effort he's putting in and I estimate that he's pretty much correct. Human torque wrenches are underestimated.

Replying to artificially increase the comment count

Small world, I subscribe to your channel on personal account, great to see you’re gonna be uploading videos again soon. I’m hoping to get back to work on my CB500 next 😊

As long as Misty passes the MOT, and doesn’t brake down on the way, we’ll be there

Where and when is that?

Thanks! I’m gonna be picking up the CB500 scrambler project again once Misty is back on the road. We’ll try to fond time to film a sofa based outro for a video soon, and make sure to get Monkey our cat some screen time 😊

I did consider that, but wasn’t sure if the force would be enough to bend or damage the studs

I was concerned about the rusty discs as well, but to my surprise it wasn’t even an advisory on the last MOT. I’d still like to replace them and the pads soon, but as it wasn’t an issue on the MOT it wasn’t a priority

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness It looks like just a bit of surface rust which will come off with a bit of driving. For some reason some discs just rust really quickly...the ones on my Jaguar will rust after a few days, while the ones on my BMW aren't rusty after about 5 years.

Thanks! We are hoping to be there, just depends on the MOT on Friday, it’s gonna come down to the wire 😅

Thank you! Can’t wait to finally get her back on the road again

I am tall and English. And I also recently got some orange gloves. Come to think of it I’ve never seen me and Ed at the same time

That’s awesome, thanks! How’s your MR2 doing?

Are you coming back to feature in any of the videos at some point? Maybe make a cameo appearance?

@@paulsengupta971 It would definitely be cool to come back at some point

Proper ‘ansome, as we say in Devon 😄

would be awesome to see Sophie back. Always loved the cuppa tea intro / outro ☕️🫖🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖

But it does make it all the more satisfying on those rare occasions when things go well

Yeah that’s absolutely a factor. I definitely miss having more opportunities to get Sophie in to the workshop with me these days, but that’s life with kids 😅 really appreciate the honest feedback though, and we are gonna try to get us both is some videos again soon

Replying for “engagement“

Comment comment comment, etc etc, good stuff, the algorithm blah blah.

.video the push help to Commenting..... nailed it

Also, judging by the testing I have done... if you ask *(remind) for likes early on, you are more likely to get more because of the normal view duration drop off.

Replying and watching with multiple accounts for the algorithm.

Thanks! Glad you’re still with us after all this time. Do you think you’ll ever get another MR2?

I did oil, filter, chain and sprockets. Not heard of ceramizer though, I’ll check it out

Thanks! Ah that’s good to know about the hand brake cable boot. I think I’ll replace the hand brake cables at some point as they’re already a bit rusty and will only get worse with the broken boots (it’s the same on the other side) I did put some grease on the threads to try and stop air leaking through them, and the bubbles were quite big so I suspect it was still a bit of air in the system. Either way the brake pedal feels good so I’m quietly confident. Hoping to get Sophie back in a video or two soon, it’s more of a challenge these days with having kids and most of the work happening in the evenings

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness as long as the pedal feels good you're golden! Would love a sofa and brew outro from yourself and Sophie, do miss those! At least that can be filmed at home :D

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness ah greasing the threads, I should do that. My Oldsmobile is very bad for sucking air past the bleeder screw. But yes, again, goodluck!

Get the anklebiters involved as well... I recently-ish bled my Jaguar S Type brakes just using the brake pedal. There was only me so I pumped the brake, checked the hose, etc, and when it felt like there was no sponginess called it a day. Seems ok, but probably not ideal. I did buy a kit to pressurise it from the top, from the brake fluid reservoir...but the top blew off and I got brake fluid all over the engine. Luckily I bought a 5 litre can of brake fluid...

Thanks! So far this video has set a new record for likes to views ratio, but then it does only have 5 views

@@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness if I reply to your reply and use the word reply many many times, will it break the algorithm? There will be 1s and 0s flying around like a mother... Reply reply reply reply 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
