00:00all the underneath has been done all the side panels have been done being stripped back to an
00:03absolute bare shell and the guy's painted it within the club and he's on to his last stage
00:09of now refitting the inside so it's a type 2 camper okay so what else have we got here then
00:14we're coming up here to um got a viva foxhole viva and this is bob's car and this is bob's
00:24actually got another three of these which he's fully restored in here folded and bolt
00:28and his last call is just one the practical classic restorer of the year which was restored in the
00:34club here um that history calls will be down on a show day on sunday um absolute blast from the pastor
00:41okay lovely restoration
00:46got over here we've got um it's an old spell mini is it yeah um so you see from the side it's a different
00:53type it's not just standard mini um it's based on a mini and this is lee's again
00:58um this was fully restored in here and painted in here um everything full front end shell underneath
01:05the body the floor and everything's been done on this car and as you can see lee's probably
01:10um somewhere near refitting and it was just painted a week and a half ago um in with spray
01:16booth at the side by lee himself and so he's done all his own work and will build up to really high
01:21standard and probably got a few more weeks of getting glass in and interior in and engines back into it
01:27and how long on average does it take to restore a car which came in in this sort of situation
01:31um any any depend on the edge of the car and availability of the panels and the parts and
01:36everything can sometimes depend on the restoration um i'd say lee i think he's been on this for about
01:41two years um restoring this one um depend on the standard you want to take them to as well
01:46um different cars take different amount of times depend on the age of the cars
01:50um and like i say again availability of ports but um if they need welding and they've done fully
01:55sandblasting and stuff probably a couple yeah okay then mike and just tell me about the classic car
02:01show coming on sunday then please uh yes the club has two classic car shops every year generally one in
02:07may one in september and this year's it is on the 11th of may which is sunday a couple of days time
02:14um the idea of the shows is to promote the club also to raise funds for the club and also raise some
02:23funds to replace the roof which we're busy doing at the moment um any classic car owners can attend
02:30the meeting as long as you get in before sort of 10 o'clock because the field gets very full you can
02:35generally uh get 100 cars in the field um we'll open the uh workshops up to the public so there's a
02:41small charge to come in and you can come through the workshops and see all the cars in restoration
02:47and they'll all be uncovered we'll also have our canteen supplying sandwiches and teas and things
02:54in the field we'll have some auto jumblers and i do believe we've got derek matheson from bangers and
03:01cash attending this sunday to do some presentations for the best car in short so it should be a really
03:07good day providing the weather's sort of with us
