Build A Caterham 420R Kit Car In 30 Minutes // Time-lapsed of course!

Almost 3 years after turning on the first GoPro to film our Caterham 420R Kit Car build, I finally got around to creating this video... This video is a recap of the major points of our build and is in no way representative of everyone’s experience - every Caterham and every build is different! It has taken many many hours of editing to get this video into the shape you see here. The audio is a bit janky in places and there are too many jump cuts in the pieces of me to camera... but after 3 years I decided I just had to get something published. Hopefully it’s of some use to anyone building, or looking to build, a Caterham. [ Bonus points for anyone who can count the number of “in the ends“, “at the end of the days“ and “measure twice, cut onces“ :-) ] Finally, yes.. I know sessions 24 and 32 a missing - I forgot to roll the cameras for some reason. 00:00 Intro 03:20 Arrival 04:20 Session 1: IVA Trim and Steering Rack 04:57 Session 2: Body Protection & Gearbox, Bellhousing, Engine 05:31 Session 3: Harness Tapping * 05:41 Session 4: Front Suspension 05:59 Session 5: Front Suspension & Headlights 06:35 Session 6: Headlights & Front Suspension 07:44 Session 7: Uprights 08:13 Session 8: Brake Pipes, Front ARB & Dinitrol 08:33 Session 9: Horns and Final Front ARB Fit 08:57 Session 10: Engine Mounts, L-Hose & Hoist Extensions 09:35 Session 11: Engine In 10:53 Session 12: Attempted Gearbox Shift & Electrics 11:59 Session 13: Exhaust Headers, Cat & Lambda Probe 12:49 Session 14: Steering Column & Oil Tank 13:43 Session 15: Odds & Ends, Radiator & Heater Unit 14:17 Session 16: Roll Over Bar, Engine Plumbing & Bonnet Test 14:48 Session 17: Engine Plumbing 15:43 Session 18: Prop Shaft & Differential 16:22 Session 19: Handbrake Cable, Diff Oil & De-dion Tube 17:16 Session 20: Handbrake, De-dion, Rear ARB & Radius Arms 18:03 Session 21: A-Frame, Rear Hubs, Brake Pipes & Wheels 18:55 Session 22: Knee Trim & Carpets 20:13 Session 23: Carpets & Seats 20:43 Session 25: Engine Start 22:01 Session 26: Water Bleeding 22:11 Session 27: More Water Bleeding 22:39 Session 28: Boot Floor, Fuel Filler & Carpets 23:39 Session 29: Fuel Filler, Torque Rear & Rear Wings 25:11 Session 30: Washer Bottle 25:42 Session 31: Rear Brake Hose, Rear Lights & Indicators 25:58 Session 33: Front Wings, Lights, Handbrake 26:59 Session 34: Brake and Clutch Fill & Front Wings 27:54 Session 35: Front Wings, Handbrake Cable & Tidy-ups 28:26 Session 36: Repeaters, IVA Mirrors, Wipers and Rear Hubs 29:38 Session 37: Getting Ready for PBC 30:44 Post Build Check 31:25 Individual Vehicle Approval 32:41 Conclusion
