Love the effort on all fronts; from the photography and videography to the actual rebuild of a derelict engine.

If each photo took say 3 minutes (don't know about you all, but sometimes some bolts just won't budge), that's 9000 minutes which is 150 hours? Cool.

Love the ending too… not that any of us can relate to having a few "extra" pieces at the end of reassembly

Re: Self-Rebuilding Triumph Spitfire Engine

uggghhhh doing almost the exact same thing over the last 16 months on a 1974 triumph TR6, combined with a full body off restoration, everything all the way down to the subframe.

The spitfire MkIV and the TR6 use almost identical engines, and that one in the film looked very similiar ot the one we've had apart.

Pretty awesome video, i already know we're going to have more than a few leftover bolts haha
