Home Built Z 'Full video build'

[Home Built By Jeff]

This week I work away at finishing that terrible door. It is a lot of rust and a lot of work, but I am stubborn enough to keep at it.

This week I have been back at it, cutting rust out of these doors. I am quite happy with how the repairs are coming along, but it is so time consuming.

This week I finally finish repairing all of the rust damage on my doors. Getting there slowly.

This week I gave paint stripper another go, and it works much better if it there are not 20 layers of paint and bog. The whole car is almost rust free now, just a couple of small bits to go.

Back into it after having my 911 build video go viral with over 11 million views in the first 5 days. This week it is time to fit some wheel arch flares to my Z.

Wow, do you know what the catalyst for going viral was?

That is always a mystery I think. Basically, I think people liked the fact that I did every single aspect of the car, stripped it, rust repair, roll cage, painted it, sewed the interior, and stripped the engine and I did it all by myself in my garage. The only part of the video not in my garage was in the machine shop in LA, where the owner let me get on some of the tools and showed me how to do some of it. Also i think the fact that it was 4 minutes, kept it at a watchable length. 

I thought it would be my most popular video when I was making it, but I never dreamed it would be seen over 14 million times in 6 days. I don't think anyone could predict that.

This week I have been fighting with the front end, trying to get all of the parts to fit neatly.

This week's adventure was finishing up the booth lighting. I then moved on to rust treating the whole car and painting the epoxy primer.
