To celebrate hitting the unbelievable milestone of 3,000 subscribers I have chosen a selection of top games I've picked up over the last couple of years, added in some choice new titles that I've really enjoyed playing on the channel and bundled them all into one big giveaway! I will draw FIVE winning entrants on the Gleam.io competition page and up to FIVE entrants through my YouTube Community competition post up to a maximum of TEN winners in all. Each winning entrant can choose one of at least twenty one great games to take away and keep. NOTE : The same prize list is used for both YouTube and Gleam.io entries but entries made on the YouTube post will have precedence in choosing a game key prize. All the games that aren't picked by the winners in this giveaway will be rolled forward into future giveaways on the channel. So, even if you don't win today, keep an eye on Ajaxpost Plays for further chances to grab an awesome game! See below for the full list of games in...
Barn Find
For the second of my 'off camera' rebuilds, I taking on a car that is not only iconic but also infamous ... The 1958 Plymouth Fury known as 'Christine'!
Another barn find, the Fury is a mod created by Fulysic and includes many features you'll recognise from the film.
Anyway, this is what she looked like when I got her back to the Numpty The Car Fixer garage:
My intention with this project is to restore 'Christine' to her former glory, but with just a little extra power under the bonnet.
The engine was in a sorry state so it was a case of taking it all apart and rebuilding it from scratch.
As you can see, we achieved a rather nice 40% increase in performance. I used a standard gearbox which may have limited the final top speed, but I think any new owner will be quite happy with what we've done.
As usual, I start the repaint job with the famous Ajaxpost Orange, and it does look good in a number of finishes but, remembering that this is 'Christine' here, we should check out the official Christine livery as well.
The mottled red looks good but, to be honest, I much prefer a solid red colour.so that's what I go with in the end, though I do resist the temptation to go 'chrome'! Check out the short video below to see the colour selection process I went through.
Finally, the last thing to check for any prospective buyers, the top speed our restored beauty can achieve.
Check the short video below to see what our improved V8 engine delivered.
And with all our testing done, we need a few publicity photos and we can sell or lovely 'Christine' for a nice fat profit!
