Wow. I didn't get through it all tonight but it's great.
Mick, do you understand the various coatings used? Zinc galvanized on some parts. Heated Aluminium?? or something on the manifolds?
I wonder what the budget/cost was. I'm guessing 40-50k excluding the fact that they really needed a new body, not just a donor with problems.

Final episode tonight. I can't wait. I like how they plastic coated some of the interior fittings, very good idea. I wonder are they going to fit inner wheel-arch liners, probably not. After all that work, they should.
A great show and step by step guide on how to dismantle and reassemble a G.
Now how do I download and save the videos for future reference???
