Only been watching for a week or so. And already gone to the top of my favourite channel on RUclips. Really inspires me to crack on with my projects.
Thank you Steve we really do appreciate the support :)
You know, I have been working outside all day trying to get an airplane back together for a customer and I come home, pour a beer and you guys are here with a new video. Just wanted to say thanks, from a strange old woman.
nothing strange about rebuilding an aeroplane, id love to restore one :)
I never fail to be amazed at the eye you have to get all the different panels to line up when there are many different panels to get to line up. Magic as always Steve!
Thank you Eddie, Patience is a virtue in this game and not being afraid to make more work for yourself trying to do the bit your on with atm correctly :)
You don’t realise how far the tin worm travels till you start cutting away great vid 👍
Steve to customer: "Good news, we got all the rust. Bad news -
this is all that's left" hands over gear knob.
Loving this series.
dont think that would go down well :)
more fantastic work - a sheer joy to watch . makes me want to buy an old rusty porsche just so that i can watch you re-build it for me . What a great team.
we would be glad too :)
I remember asking Scott at Rattarossa how he got up the nerve to work on Ferraris or the work you're doing on the Porsches , but I guess at the end of the day a rusty car is a rusty car regardless of where it's made be it it Maranello or Stuttgart or Birmingham . Excellent video as ever guys
Steve, your work is so awesome... you are a true artist at restoring hopeless cases
haha thank you we really do appreciate the support :)
Great content. Love this channel. Keep up the excellent work!
Always a lesson and treatise on how to eliminate great quantities of rust and discovering how the cars are built in layered panels. No amount of skill and dedication to the craft is neglected, but years of solid trade knowledge learned in countries having to deal with salted roads and snow covered environments, necessitates these repairs, Luckily here in Australia, we don't have that situation, but again because of that, we can discover Steve and his family's expertise in recovery and restorations on more than Mazdas. Love this channel and boy, to be 55 years younger and in the UK, where I'd line up at the door and seek an apprenticeship!
haha thank you Brian :)
Brilliant. I don't know how you have the confidence to tackle this but it is great to watch.
Daunting project. I admire the thoroughness of your approach
thank you :)
This just popped up in my feed,not sure how i missed it, watching you remove all that nasty bodgery, gives me much more confidence about working on my car,which luckily has had very little previous repair work, real craftsmanship, a rarity in this day and age
Monocoque bodies have many hidden spaces due to the fact that the A & B pillars connect to the pedal s and floor floor numerous caverns which you all had to open. This is no fun and leads to situations where the whole car is sometimes held together by only the transmission tunnel before you begin the laborious work of inserting new floors and moving to the inner and outer sills from there! Nice to see you have a quiet and calm demeanor... together with the sootheing music this is a treat! Stay happy and healthy!
thank you Andres :)
great work, I look forward to watching these every time they come out, such detailed & precise work, 😎
Thank you :)
Love this channel can’t put time on perfection guys keep the content coming 👌🏼
thank you Derek, we will :)
Great video Steve. Would love to see a video on how you are going to preserve this car from rust. And how we at home can do the same on our daily drivers. Keep up the excellent work.
thank you :) we will :)
Get a ramp or a betting job, No amount of rust repair wages will replace YOUR knees and back , Work smarter not harder.❤❤
Can't go on a ramp gregg Iv cut all the sills off :) allleven if it could it would tie a ramp up for months and I wouldn't be able to make money repairing cars :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration , what about making some tall wheel stands, your knees will thank you for it.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Used to do lots of this MOT failure work in the late 70's, just like you Steve crawling about on cold concrete etc. now I'm in my 70's and two stuffed knees and multiple other stuffed joints I wished I'd took more care of my body. Oh and I cringe when I see you grinding and cutting without proper safety glasses to stop the eye injuries, and a decent mask, don't ask me how I know, multiple visits to eye hospital to have bits removed Lol ! Do love the videos though.
@banjo 48 thank you for a reminder not in the same line of work, but what you say is valuable reminder for anyone reading
My mate does mk2 escorts on a spit.
Your having a laugh doing floorpans on a ramp
Like nailing water to a ceiling
Folks if you restore cars on ramps you deserve a bodged pos at the end of it
Hi Steve. Yet again an incredible video on the 911 👍🏻
than you for the continued support Steve :)
Fantastic again Steve. Just a comment about the comments! I think a lot of people who leave the "why not get a ramp, get a plasma cutter, get a laser rust remover etc. " have never done a job like this or tried to run their own business and make money at the end of the day. I have done both, and fully get why you do things the way you do. The only thing I would say is that I am 70 now and my knees have had it. I bought a pair of gel knee pads from Screwfix and they are a game changer considering how much they cost. Also, a cheap scissor lift may work for you, as they only tie up the centre of the car. Also, there is a strange RUclips channel by a guy called Kevin Albert Williams, he does mobile clutch repairs, spending all day every day grovelling on his back under cars. He uses those interlocking foam mats from Halfords. I bought some, they are fantastic. No more kneeling straight onto cold concrete, and they are cheap enough to throw away when they get knackered, but they are tougher than I thought they would be. Also, he uses some Quickjacks, which are really good. They could probably be adapted to lift a car leaving the sills able to be worked on.
So many restorations on the go and all amazing,keep it up guys love this channel
Brilliant work as usual
Can’t say this enough. But you guys have unlimited patience and makes the impossible possible. MoSt bodyshop would ask you to scape
Have you thought of getting a laser machine, saw another channel used it and it cleared the rusts from the underside on less than 20 mins. You guys would probably
Make your money back in no
Time
Hi Tony , we would love a laser machine but they are our of our budget :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration one day 😊
Theres some black magic trickery going on there somewhere, I just can't see it yet. Top man Steve.
Thanks for the great videos. =)
its our pleasure :)
Coming along nicely Steve!
brilliant video, thanks for these excellent views of your work! i can really dive into your thinking and process. enthralling!
Es ist schön zu sehen wenn einer von seiner Arbeit ahnung hat👍
Hi Steve - well done again but you do need a trolley (creeper) to move around easier under cars - I will send you a link for a couple that are under £40.
Great work as always Steve 👍👍
It never ceases to depress me that restoring a £50k porsche 911 looks so much easier than a £1500 vw beetle
Same work no matter what car its just worth more in the end :)
It's a good job you've got a lot of Mole grips! Interesting to see you removing the excess layers to get back to that right angle reference... but I'm curious about how that tube goes back in. Is it something that's changeable with the car, er, intact?
Yeah getting back to the right angle can be a bit tricky in and by itself.
And I think it's the heater tube, since it's air cooled engine, a little bit of the hot air from engine bay goes through tube and up into the heater matrix.
Thanks for the video.
"Bag-a-mashins" - is that bags of machiney things? I'll have to remember that one. Unpicking that with multiple layers doesn't look much fun. Beetles with their similar construction made it easier with heater channels which was the sill, boxy sections all in 1 piece. those would then bolt through the floor pan. I guess 356's and earlier 911's went the same way? Keep up the good work keepin' them "Rust Rats" at bay from eatin' all the car!
thank you , we will do :)
Pretty rotten that thing. The half-arsed bodges didn't help either. Keep it up. I really enjoy your channel, especially the disaster Datsun!
Another superb job, fabricating body panels for the Porsche.
Thank you Craig :)
So glad you changed the background music to something less soporific!!!
Smashing it
Čistá práce....sleduje vás stále ČR....Marek
Outstanding job 👏 👌 👍 buddy there is so much work and so much thought process goes into your type of work there you guys are the best in the world 🌎 I mean that whole heartedly you guys are the best in the business I wish I could afford to bring my jaguar over there and just hang out and help you guys it's such a treat to me to do and see this type of work my car really isn't worth repairing because it has major rust at the bottom of the bulkhead and frame rails were it goes to a ninety degree bend and travels down the floor pans and my floor pans are gone it wouldn't take much and it would break into I know that you can't put a jack under the jacking blocks to lift it because it's that bad u have to put it under the a frame in front or rear but I'm going to pull the motor and transmission so I can get to everything and fix it and I'm making a full perimeter chassis to make the ol gal stronger but anyway I love the video and I hope you guys have a wonderful blessed week tell everyone I said hello 👋. Love your channel its my very favorite I've been telling everyone about it.
Omg, you have my sympathy 😢 but again Learned so much every time especially patience. Dreading my mg floors😂 (not really)
tbh i enjoy my job so im enjoying it :)
Fine art❤
Whats that tube that you exposed after cutting the sill out?
I'm assuming those tubes running along the sills are some part of the engines cooling system or interior heating/cooling, going by the rust there was significant condensation
Rust! The gift that keeps giving...
Thank you
How old this car's model? Where did you find the reper parts of body for it? It is amazing!!!
As always a great watch but I have to be honest - I struggled with the music this time. Your previous videos were a bit more up tempo (I know its a personal choice but…). Also it would be great if you could say how many hours of work the video coveted, we can guess but it’s hard to tell with the (very necessary) time lapse 👌
I've seen rusty rockers on 911s before, but on this one it's gone right back into the floor... Wonder if the Targa top (water leaks) has made the problem a little worse?
iv no idea but it is bad haha
Can this job be done on a single post lift if properly braced?
When doing a job on a 911 like this, where do you lift the car from? Is important to have it sitting on the floor?
Bet the health and safety gnomes are havin a field day with you grovelling about on cold concrete and no guard on the grinder😁 all i can say is you do what you need to do to get the job done
Yo Steve. Looks like you have a wee bit of Ryanitus. Namely every bit you inspect for repair turns to S***. Good job you've got a lot of patience not to mention skill. I had a go at this game in my formative years and quickly found out it wasn't for me. I'll watch the master at work . Dae ye think ye'll huv it feenished fur xmas. 👍🤣
Great work - been following you guys for a while and would like to see you invest in more tools - you will save a lot of time and quality of life …. Plasma cutter, Solid workbenches, pillar drills … that kinda stuff
Porous porsche is turning into a nasty nightmare steve
haha it is Andrew :)
How much do u charge on an hourly basis
Hi Steve. German sandwiches seem as indigestible as Japanese sandwiches, except that they cost much more.
Haha yes Leo they all seem to be as bad :)
Я из Украины. Пришлось уехать из дома из за боевых действий в Европу и устроился в автосервис, работаю с похожими проблемами. Ваши ролики как видео уроки, очень полезны, большое спасибо.
Thank you, glad they are useful :)
does anyone know what the tube in the sill is?
It's a heater tube. The engine is in the back so they dire t warm air to the front. :)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
👍
Are you and Rustmeister Ryan having a competition to see who can find the most 'orrible corrosion on the vehicles they are working on ?
haha nope we just get sent the rustiest cars as nobody else will do them :)
Yep wrecked knees are 🤬 I know I’ve just had 2 replaced Sidknee and Rodknee thank god I’ve only got 2 legs ! Enjoy the video wow that things Rotten
Thank you yes it is :)
holy cow steve ! i am guessing the other side is just as bad ?
Hi Karen yes maybe even worst :/
Yay 😊
👍
👍👍👍👍
Where do there piles of rust come from?
You guys do love a rotter.
Great job but dificult job😮
wht the hell is that tube inside the sill?
its to transfer hot air from the engine in the back to the cab :)
3D jigsaw puzzle.
luckily i like puzzles :)
🤘😎🤘🇬🇧
Disaster Datsun vs Disaster Porsche...who has the most original metal left in it?😲🤕
good wook
Hi are you guys based in Bradford, just trying to get your phone number and didn’t want to ring the wrong people. Thanks tom

I'll bet not as rusty as my 74 Jensen Healey.
English weather is not good for german cars😅
Porsche has the worst value for money of any car brand; they don't even deny it.
but still fetch a good price :)
While you’re hunting some steel to weld to, should we consider flipping the video to be about the determination of iron oxide and how it finds a way and why… I’m thinking about poorly designed coatings…otherwise I’ll be watching someone’s grand kid doing this car again in twenty years on my EyeTube prosthetic🫣
Cars have never been designed to live forever. Very few car buyers would pay the price such a car would cost and only few are actualy interested in driving in an more that 10 year old car. The car manufacturs do also make a living of selling new cars, so they have really no interest in cars surviving to long.
👍👍👍👍👍
