  2. Rod operated drum brakes in a 1950s car? It's more likely that you think.

    Video is an exploration of dismantling the mechanical components of a donor car without instructions.

  3. Patreon supporters saw this last week, and Youtube subscribers saw it a couple of hours ago.

    Here's this week's video: youtu.be/1md2uueQR20?si=37BVEo

    Alt: a video following the progress of dismantling and salvaging parts from a rotten 1950s Lanchester LD10 car.

  4. It's time to tidy up the inside of the custom lights on my 1980s Austin Princess, the original trims won't cover the frenched in 1964 Ford Galaxie light buckets. Let's use some aluminium salvaged from a 1950s Lanchester to make something!

  5. Want to know how to remove the fuel tank and windscreens from a Lanchester LD10 sports saloon? Wonder no more, I've got a video for that.

  6. We're almost at the end of the list and up to date with this, the oldest car I've ever owned, a 1951 Lanchester LD10 that's been off the road since 1984. Technically I've owned two of these... but the other one was a donor car before it even got here.

    Still working on it, ongoing Youtube series on it here: youtube.com/watch?v=noJEj_rZ-P

    There's so many ways it can rot, you'd be amazed. They only made a couple thousand of these cars, not many survive.

  7. The donor car gets the first chop. I can assure you that as bad as the car might look on camera it was even worse in person.

    I'd appreciate Youtube subscriptions and boosts on this one too, I'd love to hit the magic 1000 subscribers on Youtube before the year is out.

  8. If you'd like to find out more about our 1951 Lanchester LD10, there's a playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXy

    Retoots, subscribes, comments, likes... please! I'd really like the channel to get to a size I actually get paid for this gig and can bring you more.

  9. Finally, a video on the donor car for the Lanchester!

    I don't really know why it has got 4,000 views in the first few days, it must be good I guess. Certainly not complaining!

    See, this is why you need to subscribe and stuff, you always find out about new videos. If you were on my Patreon you would have seen this a week ago too.

  12. Good news everybody!

    The situation that caused us to have to put the Lanchester up for sale recently has been resolved. We get to keep it :D

    Progress on it will be a little slower (though the video schedule won't really reflect this) but it will continue.

    Pat and I are very happy that we get to continue with our efforts on this much loved old car.

  13. I'll still be releasing project videos on the Lanchester even though it's up for sale. It's useful information on what these types of car are like to work on and may even be handy for the future owner of it.

  14. Here’s a #postcard showing #Lanchester College of Technology. Now part of #Coventry University, the name comes from Frederick Lanchester, automobile engineer and manufacturer. But, the name proved confusing (is it a typo for Lancaster or Manchester?) so Lanchester had to go

  15. It's a Lanchester video tomorrow.

    Finding parts for a car that they made only about 1,500 of can be difficult. Fortunately, the Lanchester isn't high value and neither are the spares when they do appear.

  16. Removed the ugly filler from the front wing of the Lanchester this morning. Looks a lot better for it. Dressed the worst of the dents out and splashed some black enamel on so it blends in better than it did.
