Really good review Steve. I think these are a great idea. I first saw one in my local car parts shop. My first thought was for heating up bolts, I seem to do a lot of that with my MAP gas on my old bus. The smaller flame would stop my heart rate going up when things catch fire! I have seen a lot of guys welding lead and would love to learn that. Many thanks for the help

I think you will find that the heat generated by the two metal surfaces rubbing together expands the metal on the high spot, then when the metal cools down the metal shrinks back further than original. The same also occurs when two pieces of metal are welded together and can be the cause of the metal distorting.

Had to pause and go for a leak,as all I could picture was Benny hill when you sped up the video 😂.love it mate.

Good one , been watching for years. Your skills have not come easy , practice does make perfect.

Excellent Steve, massive improvement on the door panel, I'm so impressed with the shrinking disc , I'm going to purchase one so I can do some work on my Healey, Such a great help watching you work on the panel 👍🏻👍🏻

Great progress 🎉

Great video steve 👍

I'd stay well clear of the pink and white one whilst unstationary.

I'm no expert on spot welding, however I believe the reason it didn't work for you is that the ground is supposed to be directly behind the area you're trying to spot weld.

I had 2 mk 1s. Back in the day and wonder if there are any renovated with the original jacking points still in place

Of course I'm 1 year late to the picture show but might I suggest a sequencer for the motors. That is, after the first motor starts, the subsequent motors start at say 1 second or (?) after the previous one. The sequence will eliminate the load surge on the mains of all four otors starting at the same time. Sequencer relays can be found in electric furnaces where several heating elements are used . Also I hope you reconsidered the plastic tubing manifold with something more suitable. Enjoyed your Hyundai compressor videos. Thank you.

Very nice pace. Gives one a bit longer to absorb the beauty of the cars on display. Thank you

This is a review. Not a frightening conversation about your fears

Lovely proper sized cars.

Well done Steve! Another job done with great attention to detail. Those bumpers appear to have very good chrome, is that original or rechromed?

Some really nice cars, i miss the old ace cafe now I'm living in Somerset but fond memories 👍🏻👍🏻

Another excellent job well done Steve 👍🏻👍🏻

Real quality work, superb.

Paint colour is RAF Roundel Blue Matt

So the very first thing we see are MK twos

Be careful with stainless threads. Use grease or they can weld the nut to the bolt by friction.

Amazing work

Not everyone is fortunate to be a good craftsman and at the same time be able to convey what you do, as you do. You have a calm, good way of explaining what you do.

I usually bleed the brakes by pumping the brake fluid in through the nipples on the calipers / wheel cylinders and up into the reservoir with an oil can

Thats excellent Steve, I'm going to buy one for my big healeys bonnet, another great video thanks mate 👍🏻

Take the guard off, I bought the flat disk for mine and its about same size, It works!!! i was shocked a 26$ amazon shrinker disk!! I find doing circles over the high is best method, I dont cool with rag like you though. I find I dont need too.

Yabadaba doo, thanks for the information. I was wondering if such things exist for oil canning. Just went on Amazon and did a little shopping for a flat disc . They only sell flat ones here in the states, 4.5 inch in diameter.👍

Amazing work. That shrinking disc did wonders!

Steve, thanks for reminding me and expanding on metal work methods and knowledge, and for making a great resource for restoration of these cars.

I used to sit on my dads knee and steer his mk2 lowline zodiac when I was about 10 years old his car was two tone white and yellow with blue spot lamps on the front ,I loved that car .

I once thought about buying such a compressor, but after reading reviews and hearing about people's opinions that such a compressor lasts about 60 operating hours and then requires engine overhaul, I gave up on it.

Spot On

Very well done Steve, the patience of the search paid off! 👍

Kia Ora & Good Evening from Caribbean Drive, Unsworth Heights, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand …Great Video Bro …

Looks good.

Hi ,where did you order that rubber,👍

You may want to paint it, then use Cosmoline. The military used it for decades to prevent rust.

Melt bees wax on clip and panel areas to be rust protected.

Very good metal work. However, you could use a thin piece of plastic with a tight-fitting hole that may work as well. and it will not rust. This clip is just for positioning the bolt. The clip you made, which is very well done, is time consuming.

Very creative and excellent work!

Attention to detail, skill, patience, pride in a great finish. You got it all Steve!👍

I just discovered your channel and love your great teachings.

I have has some luck against rust and mud. On my jeep fenders i first painted, then oiled and finally filled the space with spray foam. It keeps the debris and chipping down, though it requires refreshing depending on use of the vehicle. I enjoyed the clip building, Thank you. PS, I remember coming across an old, junked car which had been painted inside the fenders with a tar like coating. Still sticky after decades and shiny metal when scraped off.

Not only are you a great craftsman, Steve, you are one heck of a good ventriloquist too .... 1:12 😀

In the usa we call them useless

Add stonechip all over the clip that should protect it. A stonechip that can be painted over rather than the underseal one. Hope that helps.

nice one, panel beater and armourer

I didn't see one single mk4

Cold galvanizing compound would do wonders to mitigate future rusting in trapped areas. It’s rated for 3-5 years direct marine submersion. 🤓
