i thought it was time for another workshop update we haven't been doing as many youtube
videos on the enhanced channel over the last few weeks loads of stuff going on um a lot of
not interesting stuff so we just haven't really been filming and we have been filming some stuff
that you just haven't seen yet one of those is the project that this engine is for which you
might know about you might not depends how much you watch the channel that's a honda v6 engine
um we're still um we're still in the process of sorting this area out this is going to
change a bit over the next few weeks that's my weekend job's going to build a few walls
that's working on a manifold so i've got loads of gi yaris stuff in progress seem to not really be
able to keep up with those which is good super happy about that the van's in the workshop
um the van really hasn't done many miles this year obviously it took me a while to do the
to do the turbo conversion and then the fuel pump went um and then
the alternators knackered on it and it the battery keeps going out so i've been kind of putting off
doing the work on that because i've been busy doing other things um but it's in the workshop now
so i will get that sorted because that really just needs to be my winter daily i don't really want to
be driving the gymnasium around all the time just because i don't want to get bored of driving the
gymnast 1700 miles in it now and and i spent a lot of money on the van you know i want to try and uh
actually drive it you know it is a fairly quick van so it is fun to drive i'm gonna do
the vxr bumper i'm gonna scrap wrapping it now i've kind of gone off that idea
so i'm just gonna do a rattle can jobby on the front bumper it'll be good enough for what i want
um i mean the bodywork on the van is like the worst thing about it really so
i'm not going to do a job that doesn't really it's not really in keeping with the rest of the van
the princess is in the workshop so i'm not really sure i've mentioned it about
this much on the enhanced channel but this is like my project so i've been wanting to do a
cool project that's my own for a while um i've had loads of ideas of things i wanted to do
i mean like the k20 engine in the astra was kind of my project but it was going to be for
justin but we've we've gone a different way with that now we're probably never going to
get around to sorting that um oh yeah that's the point my asteroid is gone so that's sold
so the k20 engine is just sitting down there on its own now for say for another project
but yeah so this is like my project now we're going to be featuring this on the fabco channel
we're going to try and feature more of our actual fabrication work on there and then like product
specific things on the enhanced channel in the future it just makes more sense so this is getting
a aj 30 jag 3 liter v6 engine and drivetrain so it's going to become rear-wheel drive
full drivetrain swap or at least hopefully a full drive train swap i'm not sure if i'll be able to
maintain all of the front suspension from the jag but i'm going to try so we've ripped
the boat anchor engine out of this now and the interior is out so i'm ready to start doing some
chopping of a floor pan the sky lines up on this lift now the m4 is gone that's going to go on the
dyno soon hopefully got rid of all the mezzanine that's all gone now that was sat there for a year
so now we can finally finish off painting the floor now that we've been here over a year now
we're finally going to get the floor finished but it also gives us an opportunity to tidy up
um a lot of the floor that has become damaged over the year we've been working on it really
mainly in this area where the forklift is we'll probably just try and repaint this whole area
i've got some work to do on the mini so there'll be a video on that soon we've got
r56 brakes to go on it brake ducts um i need to do an exhaust like i said in previous videos for
that car the exhaust that's on it really rattles badly because it doesn't it's kind of too long
i could i could adapt it but as someone that makes exhaust for a living it feels a bit weird to adapt
to kind of crappy exhaust i probably should just make one um and it is a product we probably think
we can do a bit of justice to so we'll probably make one of those and sell it at some point
but it's good that the mezzanine is gone now because we can park cars there a bit easier
um i can get my mini in now that the weather's starting to turn a bit my other mini classic
mini um jake's painting the front door which has been a job i've wanted to do for a while
um that's about it really um yeah be nice to the front door painted and all sealed up
the skyline might not be here for much longer sam has been coming in to do bits on it obviously that
wasn't just a um like a turbo conversion like the car obviously came as not running
and having not run for a long time so there are still quite a few bits to do on it that
aren't really kind of jobs we were intending on doing um but yeah happy to help sam out
on them now stuff like sorting out the fuel system and um coolant you know it's
basically been a full rebuild car so there's quite a few bits to sort out that haven't been done
since it was put back together and then we've got three more track days booked all at cadwell um
i wanted to do one at dunnington but then we've got some plans for uh cadwell at the end of
november um to meet up with some other people and go to a track day there so there'll be a video on
that i'm sure at some point um yeah that's about it i think uh yeah i'm looking forward to getting
some seats in the mini as well we'll probably go doing that but they take a long time to get made
no one seems to have seats in stock so i've got some seats coming i saw some seats out in it but
yeah the big thing at the minute is gonna be the princess so if you're interested in following that
it's a bit of a crap old car but that's kind of what i'm into i've been following that make sure
you subscribe to the fabcoat channel and you'll see all the updates on that thanks for watching
