Back in the workshop this week, with some help from my friends at Austin Pedal Cars, this is a fun one! www.austinpedalcars.com/

The front axle needs straightening, rust repair and a general strip down and restoration, one piece at a time we will get the austin pedal car restored and driving again!

  • Olympic closing ceremony vs Dom's YouTube. No contest! Dom and the rust wins. 🎉
  • Dom, your channel is a wonderful "rabbit hole", always amazed at the projects you have on the go. Also learning that fire is a great way to loosen rusted nuts. Cannot thank you enough🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Looking forward to another 356 update Dom, but please don't feel like you need to apologise to anyone! We're all here because we love the content. The Porsche is a big long term project (they take years, or at least mine has!), but a lot of viewers probably don't understand what a massive commitment they are in terms of time and money. The variety keeps things interesting. Keep up the fantastic work!

    Boy Don you are burning the candle at both ends love watching your videos but take care 😊
  • @honorw4125
    I'm unaware of the history of the Porsche as classic car to be reborn by your goodself but boy do I wish it was Jaguar 😉 but that's just me 🤷‍♀️. I always enjoy the Sunday evening catch with you Dom. Love the videos, keep 'em coming.
  • With so many projects on the go plus filming I’m just grateful that you’re able to produce such interesting content on your channel - many thanks !

    Born in 49 i received one somewhere around 1956. I raced that thing round our 3 acres for several years until i rolled it cornering too fast. My first car accident and my first broken bone. Broke the steering so my Austin was no more.
  • @hobbyhopper3143
    It’s such fun seeing you have such fun with all your projects. Much love from California. Also, thanks a huge bunch for turning us on to Ashley Harding’s music. I play his “Spoon Music” album frequently. Great stuff!!!

  • @delhog6161
    Great video Dom as always. It’s good to swop and change between projects it keeps your viewers on their toes 😂😂😂👍
  • I don't care what u work on dom I will watch it at my leisure with a cup of tea and choccy biscuits enjoy
  • Hi Dom, another fascinating video… inspired by your videos and Tools book, I spent the weekend refurbing a whole batch of rusty old tools…

    Sorry to veer off the pedal car AND the porsche, but your aero engine sent me down a land speed record rabbit hole, to see if liberty aero engines were used in any early land speed record attempts. They were, Babs for one, which is a great link, and one was even used in a real chitty chitty bang bang. Who knew they were even real cars, and that one had a liberty aero engine in. Thanks for all the entertainment.

  • @slimshady6718
    I done mine in speedwell blue , black wheels but I have seen the wheels in white and they also look good 👍
  • @shedlife1745
