just watching this.. Audible is awesome… love listening to a book while working
Best Audible ad ever.
Worlds shittiest shop
Was it ever finished?
14:17 and that's how you risk to destroy a 4k $ fiberglass part.
Du you often talk to the head on the workbench while you'r working? ;D haha
ayyeee boostedboiz intro at 24:54
you really shouldn't lay it up in layers like that, just lay it all up at once. you could have easily laid up ten layers and it would save you a lot of clock time.
Its called an "A pillar"
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, as I just found this channel… but the tires are mismatched. The rears are bald, and the fronts are on backwards. It's not surprising the car lost control in the wet, since the water was being channeled into the center of the front tires, and the rears have no tread. My guess is the previous owner didn't know anything about this car, and likely stretched his budget to afford it (tires are the first indicator someone is struggling with maintenance… who would run around with bald mismatched tires on purpose??). Great channel!! Subscribed.
Yet another episode I try to watch at night and the music is fucking to the roof, 3 times louder than your voice. Learn how to edit FFS.
EDIT: 3:18 was the worst. Later on it improved.
Moral of this build: Don't get into a fender bender if you drive a Lotus
Using a pointed roller to get bubbles out makes it MUCH easier
u don't have to wait 2 hours to apply another layer. u can do multiple layers at one time just make sure u put resin in between each layer. it makes the job a lot quicker
You're going to be flossing fibreglass powder out of every crevice of that interior …
Why isn't this on Netflix?
Great vlog. I came accross your videos and subscribed a couple of days ago. I have watched the Lotus from episode 1 and respect to you for stripping the Lotus down and repair/replace all the panels. I look forward to watching the rest of the rebuild.
A removeable hardtop would be awesome
I don't know what resin your using and it might not be very useful for you but SMD Sunflash is pretty cool cause it's UV activated so you can get it perfect then put it in the sun and it hardens that way
Just noticed. How do you live with your phone going off like it was 2 minutes in the video haha I'd go crazy
19:33 *drapes 😉
Did you use fireproof resin for the firewall?
Look into SMD sunflash resin!!
T-top that roof
fiberglass is fairly flammable so its interesting that it's used as a firewall
Tip for you when sanding or cutting fiberglass; before working rub any exposed skin (arms etc) with talcum/baby powder, it will stop your pores from being open and you won't get the itching normally associated with working with fiberglass.
welcome to Chris is for Build, I'm B
really nice videos of the Lotus! One question: Why not repair the glasfiberparts with carbon fiber instead? Lighter and much stronger!
Did anyone else notice how many notifications his phone gets?
Jesus, what a fucking mess.
i mean you could have used carbon fibre instead but whatever
Why not cover the dash?
Dude your so amazing. this is awesome. keep it up.
Hey Chris ! This is the second project that I follow and this Lotus gives you a lot of work 😉
Just a remark about the sound level, could you increase it when you talk or decrease the music during the timelapse ? I always have to adjust during the video… (or am I the only one ?)
I think watching you tear down fiberglass is one of the most satisfying things in the world.
PEACE!
Hey man, awesome job.
I don't know if this has been suggested before, but you can wrap cheap vinyl sheets or plastic bags around the interior parts, which can save you a lot of time cleaning the car before assembly in the future. Maybe you are too deep into removing the fiberglass parts and it might not matter anymore for this car, but this might save you a lot of time in the future.
I enjoy your videos a lot, and looking forward to the next one
When fiberglassing, first few layers use rowing cloth because it will bond better, then to get thickness use few layers of mat also 🙂
hey chris, i just started my own car channel. stoked about it, once i get a decent amount of subs im going to do a top favorite car channels to subscribe to. i was wondering if i could use your name and some of your footage from your channel to have in the video? thanks bro!
The amount of bullshit for this car makes it happy this is Chris doing it and not me
Front wheels are on backwards… If it matters
