    I love the GT 1900. But the garbage, stupido 1 million view thumbnail made me dislike the video and click on "don't recommend channel" button. I will never watch any of your videos just because of the fake clickbait. I didn't even watch this video, because of the fake title.

    Thanks for the comment tho. But I guess we live in times where people get easily offended, and furthermore have the urge to let the other people know that they got offended. My humble apologies for choosing the title so that people easily see that this is NOT a new episode, but just a recap and celebration for 1 million view on the channel... Deep breath, cup of coffee and rock on 🤘😎🤘

    Very impressive use of “alternative” parts. This is the root of US hotrodding. I realize that is not your goal. But you do qualify as a 1960’s master of it. Of course you need 4 more pistons but that is a simple affair. Outstanding work and video!

    You can substitute forged 1.9 rods for the weak cast 2.2 rods, they're dimensionally identical but lighter and stronger. And you can have a 1.9 block bored to 95mm and re-use the original pistons with new rings if you're not set on using the original 2.2 block. My lightly modified 2.2 is so much fun, just changed out the break-in oil and hope to hit the redline soon!

    Great video again! That wheel arch is pretty sweet! I will have to remember that for my red 73 Gt that I am nose swapping. Also great job fixing that timing cover! Is the 2.2 going to be relatively stock or is getting hot rodded? Hopefully this winter I am going to build a 2.0L.

  • @GT1900garage
    @GT1900garage2 күн бұрын

    Thanks Sam To be honest, the arch turned out far better than I expected. No filler needed at this point… It will be stock 2.2E This will bring additional 25-30hp and it is enough for me. My plan is not to take her to track, but to curvy Finnish country roads…. Interested to see your 2liter upgrade…

    I like how you developped your skills, welding is no more a problem, making shapes is perfect, and you have a great start with the engine. An interesting point would have been to weight the car before you started and after final completion. it's always good data

    Absolutely fantastic job again. Another commenter has said this, but you are possibly THE most talented home restorer I have ever seen. It is well within your capabilities to finish the car to show quality yourself in your own garage. I have painted 3 full cars now at home, more or less a panel at a time. 2 of them, an Astra SRi Turbo and a MK3 Golf Gti have been to many shows and have stood up to the scrutiny of professionals. We still own the Astra, I sold the Golf 2 years ago to someone I still see, the cars were painted 7 and 6 years ago and still look good today. I'm sure it is the same in Finland, but a good paint job now in the UK costs £5000, I only got £1500 for the Golf, so economically, I had to do the work myself to make any sense at all. Paint materials and consumables are nowhere near as costly as some might have you believe. You have great skill, but above all, patience, which is the key element when it comes to re-finishing.

    I am always waiting for your next video. I am stunned at the amount of talent you have. I am only envious. Are you going to have to re-bore the cylinders? I am still working on getting mine ready to paint. Getting the rubber coating off the bottom. Don't have a rotisserie like you have, so I am a lot slower. My engine and transmission are still on the shop floor. Keep the faith on your Opel, you will soon own the most rust free Opel GT in the world. God Bless you.
