One of the hardest working guys on RUclips. Your enthusiasm is astounding. Through heatwaves to snow and ice you are on the floor of your driveway battling with these projects. You deserve great success. Well done.
Please continue to show the progress. I watch all of the videos on this car since I have had a 07 and 11 for years. It really helps more than you think!
Proud of you Matt with your perseverance, I’m happy to watch your endeavours with the Crown Vic but I appreciate that every video takes time to create and then edit so if you choose to just knuckle down and get it done I will totally understand as will many others.
Please keep hearing updates on the other side as well. When I did my Trabant the first side took me about a month to repair both upper and lower sill. When I come to do the second side I finished it in a week and it was more rusted then the first side. Your welding has definitely improved massively.
Personally, I've really enjoyed how work on the Crown Vic pops up in your feed from time to time. It's not continuous so it's always interesting. I have no doubts that the other side will prove just as interesting - plopped between other great stuff.
I am dreading what hidden horrors will be revealed on the rear wheel arches. But for the time being, regarding the other side sill, i just hope we actually get some decent enough weather for you to get on with it. Here in Devon it's been a case of dodge the heavy rain downpours for the last couple of weeks or more. Your a brave man to tackle that kind of work outside at this time of year!
Black! Black! The monks are troubled, and full of woe! I'm a fly trapped in a bottle of shadows! My preference is to see all the detail of the work on the other side. But that's because I have my own vehicle with rotten sills both sides that I haven't started on yet (because I'm still busy rebuilding the entire front end), and I just want to see someone else do it first. Again.
Well done Matt. For a professional Photographer you're a dam good self taught welder/mechanic. Perhaps I could have a go? Yes I want to see you do the other side please.
You deserve a BAFTA for that quote from Shakespeare or was it Shakespeare Sister Matt 😁, £600 😳 my first house was only £1000 and a bag of chips was sixpence, 4 pints of beer 🍺 a shilling and a seat in back row of the talkies was tuppence 😉 yep I sound like my Grandad , good to see some movement on the Vic 👍🏻.
I left the UK for sunnier climes, Glenbrook, near Sydney, Aus in 2001 and I'm seriously impressed by your efforts across the board - Mechatronics Engineer talking (Grad 1986 before the term existed really) so am lucky that I can do carbs, Fuel Injection and codes! My welder misses me and one of my personal resolutions for next year will be to fire it up again and do more welding! Not sure what yet as things don't rust much here.
I think we would all understand if you just want to get the other side finished, I wouldn't worry about filming it, perhaps maybe the odd update sprinkled into other videos?
Great stuff Matt. You have made those who doubted your commitment to fixing these issues eat our words - I was on such viewer. I applaud you mate. Well done!! I'd be happy with a highlights reel from the other side.
Why are there so few likes? Come on guys and gals, smash that button to show appreciation for the time and work put in. Doing it himself is a whole different ballgame to just sending it to a shop and hoping the views/ads from YT will cover the cost. 👊👍
The Crown Victoria is looking much better now, when you first showed us all of the corrosion, I really thought it was the end for this car. What an amazing restoration you have done Matt, a huge well done to you ❤.
Lovely job on that Matt!👍 It might pay in the long term to leave the bottoms of the front wings open like you have, at least then any water and road grime can easily drain/fall out instead of sitting in the cavity and rotting the bottoms of the wings out again. Just pump them fat with cavity wax! I love this car, so I’d like to see more updates as you progress the other side.
You've come such a long way with your welding skills from those early days of discovering horrific rot on the W123 arches. Now you seem to take even the most demanding of repairs in your stride, with confidence and a flair for fabrication work. Personally, I've enjoyed going along with you for the 'ride' or in this case, 'ride' in the 'drive', ha 😍and would be happy to watch you tackle the other side, which hopefully is easier now you've got some know how on how this old girl is bolted together! Orre aye, iz yoose takin' the mick outta da boyz from da BLACK stuff like Jimmy!😁
The cost of shipping those wings, it would almost be cheaper buying a cheap return flight, going over, buying them and bringing them back in your luggage with an excess baggage allowance!
One of those 'how to' video's popped up on my instagram, it showed how to use expander foam to fill a rust hole then cover it in 'bondo' made me think of your poor fortunes with this. keep plugging along it'll get there and it'll be more your motor at the end than you ever hoped for!.
A while ago I tried looking for RUclips videos that might help me repair rusty front suspension strut mount areas. There's a lot of videos with people attaching rear shock mounts with bits of steel and self-tapping screws, or glueing strips of steel over the holes. I'm sure I even saw one where he created top mounts for the rear shocks using lengths of wood. I think the problem is that in some parts of the USA, it's legal to drive a car like that on the road.
That old show “pimp my ride” used to cut corners that way. You would have this show quality paint over sketchy/dodgy repairs. Since it was in hot dry California they got away with a lot of it. If it was in a snow state with salt it probably wouldn’t have lasted too long.
Well done Matt as progress is happening. Adding to your Crown Victoria is a positive rather than sweeping it up! We live and we learn as MOT search history is an absolute gem in buying any car in Britain. Thanks for posting.
Great job Matt. I'd like to see also you get the Merc sorted. I used to have a 230CE. Happy to see the Crown Vic get the other side done too. Good show! 😂
£600 sounds reasonable as I would have had to pay over £1500, including fitting, for a new boot lid for my Jetta in '82 if had not been a corrosion warranty claim. The rust discovered when number plate fell off, the built in mountings could not be used with some UK plates, depending on the actual reg. no. to avoid being misread, so the dealer drilled new holes to fit it when new but never rustproofed them.
I didn’t expect replacement wings would end up costing you that much😱 I suspected the upper arches would have a “hidden” rust repair. They tend to rust there before the lower part. I assume you would get extra wings if some turned up closer to you at a reasonable price? You’ve done a fantastic job though👍 I’ll be sending you several emails with reference pictures the left hand side sill off my parts car. Hope it helps you out for the other side.
HI Matt This may be of interest to you and all your followers. Using the paint code on the car for a spray can is OK providing the car is not too old.. We all know that paint fades with time hence the mismatching..Take part of the car ,ie petrol filler door etc to a good paint supplier ,they can now scan the paint surface and mix your spay can to the exact colour that you now have magic.. Haven't seen any other car channel tell every DIY er about this so check it out and be the man...
Bet your glad that sill is done now matt. See your making good use of the corn flakes boxes, I'm always saying to my folks keep those old corn flakes boxes, I've now got a full bag of folded up corn flake boxes for templates! Crunchy nut cornflake boxes are a good size too :)
More videos on the Crown Vic...? Honestly, if you're doing the work, make the videos because it'll take a lot of your time, and so must making videos. It is also very reassuring to me. It means I'm not the only one! I'm mad-enough to be doing the same with an Alfa Romeo 156 sportwagon. It is a long, long job, but surely, it has got to be worth it. Right???
BIG well done mate, i admire your perseverance. Maybe just do a couple of update videos, one for the other side, some of the other bits and then a body shop update !?
I would love to see you do the other side 😊 I find this work interesting, I appreciate that it makes the job longer to film it but maybe Timelapse the cutting welding etc and show the panel bending and any issues in real time, just a suggestion. Cheers. Keep up the good work!
the paint looks a very good match, nearly there , i nope not attaching the wing at the bottom does not cause it to vibrate when driving , it would not be to hard to make an l shaped pannel to close the bottom and give a fixing to the bottom of the wing, as the expanding foam is light weight i think the previous owner had taken collin chapmans saying of "adding lightness" a bit to literally😉 as a fellow classic car owner i know how good it feels to drive a can that has been off the road for a while , so keep that thought in mind when you are laying on you back under the car in the cold and rain taking the skin of you knuckles, cutting you self on razor sharp pieces of metal and burring your self with weld splatter 🤔👍
Bear in mind it has never been attached all the time Ive had it - the panel it bolts onto didnt exist until I put it back, so I dont think its going to be an issue, theres a bolt into the bulkhead just behind there as well
Well done Matt on all of your very hard work and that crown Victoria is so lucky to have you! It will be better than new when you finish it’s been great how you have worked and learnt and put so much effort in please keep the videos coming Daniel
It is a buyer beware lesson, I know of one down under who was scammed terribly on a bought unseen 59 Cadillac so bad it became a parts car for someone else at a significant loss but advertised as drivable, in that case it would have been cost effective to have travelled to the USA & look around.The correct engine was long gone & what was there had seized, extensive rust even in the pillars, I guess road salt can creep through a structure if left too long.A cost effective restoration for that example was not worth it, cheaper to buy an example that was approaching decent. Standards in the USA can be very poor in some states where used vehicles are concerned, MOT & RWC (road worthy certificiate) here are stringent & designed to keep rust buckets & potentially unreliable & unsafe vehicles off the roads,Dads 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I thought about transferring into my name, think again, a lot of expenditure would be needed beyond a set of tyres to get the RWC enabling a transfer.
Well done Matt, your car looks awesome!! You have the same size tires that are on my 2002 Chevrolet impala. Passenger 225/60/ radial 16 inch tires they look brand new.
And to think people give me these cars almost every day. I have a couple for daily drivers. And yes I work in a large Wrecking Yard in Arizona. Of all the Crown Victoria's in the world you bought one that was not only butchered, but was butchered by a man with with a can of expansion foam ☁️😬😏😡! 600 UK pounds buys about three RUNNING and DRIVING Crown Victoria's here 🤪. You have my sympathy 🤪...
I wish the cars were that cheap here! Just shipping the car over here with import tax and duty cost 4 times that, so these are not cheap cars in Europe
@@furiousdriving We DO have LOADS of US-Market Japanese and European imports here from old Rovers and MG's to Jag XJC Coupes and lots of other crap laying around. Need a Triumph TR-7? I've got eight here 🤪😂. Junk everywhere!
They’re so cheap/were sort of cheap in the US. it’s kind of shocking how much more one costs across the pond😮 I could go to several junkyards in eastern Pennsylvania alone & get enough parts to fix up a Crown Victoria. It would probably cost me around a few hundred bucks!
Matt yes I think the opposite side coverage of the Lovely Crown-Vic 👑 diehard repair would be worth watching 👨🏻🔧 have to make a list of what you’ve been using for repair and what each is for is a must 😅 keep it up 👍
Great little tinkering video Matt, for me personally even if you added it onto the end of the video or made a short say five min video update it would work for me.
Well done for persisting. If it helps you get the rest of the job done more quickly, crack on without worrying too much about filming it. At least until something goes horribly wrong 😅
Jesus Matt that rot on that car if as if its been sitting in a salt bath, Iv never had a car of any age that bad and I only have old motors. But hats off to you, you definetly have the patience of Job fixing that one up
Success 🎉🥳 What a result Matt! Now the same on the other side😬 And please show all of it! Hopefully 🤞the other side won’t reveal extra nastynesss ! Big 👍🏻👍🏻 🆙 for “the furious sill welder”!!!!
For me I’d just want to see the major issues such as the state you find it in when you remove the parts, major welding & shaping but not the full details of every inch or showing every hole you put the rustproofing into.
Hi Matt. Nice work. I'm with the majority. Film as you do it. But we realise that editing, can take a long time to do and upload. Plus you have job & family to consider. See you in the next one. Cheers.
Are you sure it's two pack? If it were two pack there would be a plunger on the bottom of the can to inject the hardener into the paint, then you have about an hour tops to use it.
Sorry you are going through this. Basically what you need to know about US cars: east coast past Texas are only good for interiors. West coast: west Texas, nm, az, nv, ca: rust free, dry rotted paint and interiors. Floor pans frames suspension like it rolled out of the factory
One of the hardest working guys on RUclips. Your enthusiasm is astounding. Through heatwaves to snow and ice you are on the floor of your driveway battling with these projects. You deserve great success. Well done.

Your patience is absolutely top notch Matt, you must think so much of this car to go through this emotional rollercoaster.
Lets see all the work on the other side.
Been Brilliant seeing you rebuilding this side.

Amazing job, Matt. Well done. It's a pig of a task but the results will be great. I would love some regular updates on the other side.
You have great patience! I’d like to see regular updates, Big Vicky has provided as much entertainment to us as frustration to you! Good work!
I think we would all understand if you just want to get the other side finished, I wouldn't worry about filming it, perhaps maybe the odd update sprinkled into other videos?
Definitely want to see how you continue on this! I came to your channel for the CV videos, and are the ones primarily bringing me back here.

Nice job Matt. Personally I would like to see you work through all of the other side. I enjoy watching welding!!
Honestly, I really enjoy watching the detailed updates. Keep up the fine work.
Great sill & wing repair, your skills are building. Updates as and when bits are done would be great.

You just rebuilt almost a whole body by yourself. A lot of people would have just given up. Great job!
You are getting very good at rust repairs fabricating and welding rust proofing and when you finish the work you seem happy
Great job Matt. I'd like to see also you get the Merc sorted. I used to have a 230CE. Happy to see the Crown Vic get the other side done too. Good show! 😂
What a work, bust the result is getting there! Impressive Matt, keep it up.
Well done! Regarding the other side, I think the odd brief update would be best, maybe highlighting any differences to the first side.
Quite inspirational and makes me really want a welder now!
I’m keen on updates. It’s actually quite therapeutic watching you repair your cars.
Lovely bit of work Matt, such an improvement.
Definitely do step by step updates on the other sides, it's great
Weldone. Great job, real achievement. Big chunks of work and show us the finished job, please.
Hi Matt ,love the work you gave done. Regular updates please thanks 😊
£600 sounds reasonable as I would have had to pay over £1500, including fitting, for a new boot lid for my Jetta in '82 if had not been a corrosion warranty claim.

I enjoy watching you cut, weld, grind, and paint, this super gorgeous royal car.
Amazing work, thanks for sharing. I do hope you will continue to share updates on the Crown Vic, no 2 areas of rust are completely the same lol
I don't mind seeing the repair work on the other side. I like the Crown Vic content.
I love the detail of the process; it's really coming on nicely.
Great work Matt. You must have very understanding neighbours with all that grinding going on! 👂👂
I didn’t expect replacement wings would end up costing you that much😱

A commendable job, and always worth watching.
A job well done! I'm looking forward to watch you repairing the oter side!

fantastic work fella, I personally love watching the welding etc etc as it shows what I may be able to do on my own driveway.

They’re so cheap/were sort of cheap in the US.
it’s kind of shocking how much more one costs across the pond😮
I could go to several junkyards in eastern Pennsylvania alone & get enough parts to fix up a Crown Victoria.
It would probably cost me around a few hundred bucks!
Well done Matt, that was a hell of a job. Maybe just give us updates on the other side unless anything really stands out.
Can't speak for everyone, but I'd happily watch all the grinding and welding on the other side too. In a longish video please. Thank you.😊
Nice video Matt, I bought some of that Dynax S50 wax to put into the sill ive repaired on my civic, its good stuff
Great work Matt, it's beginning to look like a solid car again
It reminds me as a boy fixing my dad's Ford Prefect so love watching .
Great job, where did you manage to source the sill panels from?
Thanks
20:05 This is the way Elon is building his Starship I believe.😆
Matt yes I think the opposite side coverage of the Lovely Crown-Vic 👑 diehard repair would be worth watching 👨🏻🔧 have to make a list of what you’ve been using for repair and what each is for is a must 😅 keep it up 👍
Regular updates for me. Like the repair aspect. At least your winning with it!

Do they sell rust repair sections for the bottom of the guards that way you are not having to import a full guard?
Hi Matt. Nice work. I'm with the majority. Film as you do it. But we realise that editing, can take a long time to do and upload. Plus you have job & family to consider. See you in the next one. Cheers.

maybe its not then
Well to quote from the original Crystal Maze (Richard O'brien era) "Keep going you're doing brilliantly Matt!!!" 😀😀👍👍
Thank you!
Well done Matt. More videos on the other side please. (stage by stage)
It's tough getting anything done at this time of year, especially outdoors.... When it's cold, And on cars, and when its welding .., Weld done !! 😉
I watch all of your videos, because you have such unique, awesome vehicles, that you work your magic on.
BB coachworks in Hartley, 45 years experience, great on bodyworks, and prepares racecars too, mention my name Giles Harry
If complete filming of the other side takes up too much of your time, Matt - this one will understand 👍

Like the Johnny Nice Painter reference. Could you test drive an early Honda Jazz soon? Nice....
