I love this car but seems to be hiding a few horrors, your the right fella to put it right, thanks for sharing 👍👍
No problems and it is but we will make it a good en again :)
That cripper radius tool is a time saver ,a clever bit of kit
It is and they are only cheap :)
Absolutely magical Steve.❤
Fantastic job , a real craftsman at work !!!!
Thank you Chris :)
Pure craftsmanship right there man brilliant 😮
This is such a good channel! Well done guys, I'll definitely be watching all your videos.
Thank you Greg :)
So much better watching with the relaxing music, rather than shrieking power tools. You are Artists.
Thank you we appreciate the support :) 👍
beautiful car steve
This is such high quality craftsmanship, always a joy to watch. The welding and fabrication is just beautiful. The proper way to restore a car.
Another excellent example of how a restoration should be carried out, by a true craftsman....really great Steve always look forward to your latest video.
Loving the attention to detail , excellent work as ever -
Thank you Colin we do appreciate the support :)
Top quality restoration, could watch these videos for hours, love how the handmade panels look and fit like factory!!
thank you Darren :)
Hello
how much does this kind of work cost?
The magician of metal 👏👏👏
haha thank you :)
I think it's great that you're showing each step. And that it's not sped up too much. Great channel!
Thank you Steve :)
Great craftsmanship of the repair panels and attention to detail, like the dimple and the strengthening rib
Lovely job, keep uploading guys. Would love to see these job once completed after paint
yep the ones we are painting will have vids showing the paintwork as well :)
The week takes so long with losing a video but it’s a bonus on a Saturday 👌
Watching a master craftsman at work is so satisfying thank you for sharing your skills.
I started working in a garage at weekends as a 13 year old in the late 1970's then onto Motorbikes ending up in British Championship racing. I've always admired people who are panel beaters because the can mostly do anything vehicle related. I'm late 50's now and maybe its time to get some new tools. I love all the little tricks that you do, I watch and go ahhhh, that was a fkn good idea.
thank you John we do try to show different ways of doing things :)
Wow that must have taken some time ..but honest work that lasts !
Man. That’s crazy. Stunning
Watching with the wife and we both noticed you let one rip exactly 2 minutes into the video and we both laughed 😂😂
lamo was it convincing ? :) also it did make me laugh as well hence why i left it in :D
@@yorkshirecarrestoration very convincing 😂😂😂
Steve nailed it again, i am addicted. Thanks for the quality updates.
Superb metal fabrication skills great video
Thank you Steve :)
You are a master, your accuracy is great!
Thanks for the video. Steve you are an artist with both hammer and angle grinder.
WOW what a job first class work
Thank you Mark :)
Superb workmanship & great skills - Much respect to you 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you very much :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration You are very welcome :-)
Enjoy the videos, you make it look so easy.
Thank you Andrew anyone can do it with a little practice :)
I could watch you guys all day…. But I can’t I have to go to work. Great work on the Manta Steve, looking at the rot that had set in to the metal, your step by step repair was riveting…. And the welding was awesome 😁😉.
Haha thank you mate :)
Well produced video. I forgot I was watching a mechanic and thought I was watching an artist. Absolutely amazing skills. Thanks for the video.
Some aspects of mechanical work are pure art if you ask me.
Very impressive, looks like factory panels again. You just did your magic again. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, we really do appreciate the support :)
To watch a master of his trade is pure joy!!!
Great work as always. Its always going to be more rust when it comes to old Opels 😁
I was in my hayday when these were on the go. Got to drive my mates car. Lovely motor but it was a rust bucket then 1982 ish. So not surprised to see one in that state. However luvin and watchin the way you go about fixin it. Everyday is a school day as they say. Thanks for vid. 👍
Thank you William :)
Craftsmanship, lovely work
I like listening to the relaxing music, and watching you do your work. You're really good at what you do.
Love this restoration . Can’t wait for next instalment 👍
Thank you Karl :)
Excellent work. Such patience and painstaking skill. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Colin :) 👍
Even if I could weld and fabricate properly, I can't see how anyone would fail to be in awe of the skill and attention to detail in these vids.
Absolutely superb work guys 👍
It's great to see the Chanel growing so much.a true master craftsman at work.great work.keep it up guys
Watching your videos would give me confidence in bring my car to you for restoration works knowing how you do things
Thank you Rich :)
So relaxing and satisfying to watch.
thank you Mark :)
I've just come across ur channel, I like it its proper I've been doing the same for 30 yrs, escorts mostly, its nice that u show how bad body shell get, many a time someone has sed its only a little bit of welding but people who don't do restorations ain't got a clue how much work actually goes into it coz most of it is never seen,
I love watching other tradesmen work, especially when like this they are meticulous about their craft. Now people can see why sometimes the seemingly simplest of jobs turn into an expensive outlay. It’s going to look great when finished, my uncle ( who’s a master bricklayer) had 2 in the late 70’s, I remember going to the beach with my cousin in it 😁
She was tacked with stick back in the day..prob before mig was around..the mig is great for light gauge steel...shes perfect after you put your hand on it..great job👌its nice seeing a job very well done...if it has to be done do it tight like you did...👍great job guys
Thank you :) 👍
Got to say i admire your skills and tenacity, obviously some difficult and awkward pieces to mesh in but it seems that you overcome anything thrown your way. Well done mate, its a pleasure to watch your videos.
thank you we really do appreciate the comments and support :)
Mesmerising just watch you make those pieces from a flat piece of steel.😊
Thank you Alex 👍
Just wonderful work as always, I cannot believe the quality of your tin bashing. I have ordered a few things from the store.
Thank you Eddie :) yes we noticed and we noticed you also included a tip 👍 we do really appreciate it Eddie :)
Great video....this is exactly the content I personally love to watch.
Stevie Wonder's old car. At least he had a go at welding. Great Job Steve.
Haha yep missed a few spots :)
Excellent work Steve. Always a pleasure to see you work. Regards from Ireland.
Thank you George i hear they rust just as much in Ireland as well :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration indeed they do. I had spotted some surface rust on the arch returns on my daily clk. I pulled out the arch liners and was amazed at how much dirt and detritus was in there. Power washed it all out. Hit it with the wire wheel on the grinder and painted it all up. The only good thing is, they don't use salt on the roads here in the winter.
Magnificent skills and patience you have some handy tools too great job
This is strangely hypnotic and calming to watch your great work. You have a new subscriber here and I'm looking forward to your future videos.
Thank you David we do put a lot of effort into our videos :)
awesome job steve love this channel learning so much gaining confidence to tackle my own rust repairs thanks YCR.
glad the videos are helping :)
I love this video I especially love the one last Sunday were Ryan manufactured a chassis rail for mat Armstrong BMW I wrote such a long comment I figured it went to spam.. love ❤️ this channel its helping me tremendously.
Guys I love you already ! thanks a lot for this so educative and nice to watch video. And I know the heavy job it is to film and edit... Bravo et merci from south of France, cheers
Nice work Steve! Love how you replicated the factory dimples and bead work.
Such skill. Bravo!
Great job again Steve it's amazing what lurks under some of these shiny paint jobs we'll done and keep it up cheers again
Great job!
Thank you :)
Great work mate!! Many people blame the opening rear quarter glass leaking water over the years for this problem with the rear sills which is probably true to an extent, but ive seen 2 door Asconas with same issues & they had the fixed glass.
Who knows but its one of the many common places these rot.
Always satisfying to make your own repair sections but these rear inner sill sections are, or at least were, available from Klokkerholm a few years ago that saved some time...good quality aswell!
thank you :) and yes they are still available but YCR is all about fabricating and restoring so people can learn how to fabricate anything if panels aren't available :)
Great attitude mate....& really important for cars like the Manta that dont have a large amount of replacement panels available👍👍
Wow,nice Manta,owened the A model long ago.❤
That’s some great quality restoration on a manta
Often they are bodged to get a quick sale or mot. My brother and I do high quality concours restoration as a hobby and have won top 10 in the national concours for the last few years.
It’s nice to see love, attention and craftsmanship going into a manta.
Nice work. I’ll follow this restoration.
Brilliant. masters of the universe!
You make it look so easy, I'm on my third attempt at doing my windscreen corners on my MGB. You have some serious talent.
Thank you :) it's just a little practice :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Yes, like thirty years of practice!
@@drumtochtyglen haha it is in my case Eddie but I have taught people to do good quality repairs before in a fraction of the time :)
Subbed. I use to have an opel manta. Betsy, wish I had her back . Awesome content mate I’m hooked instantly.
Nice work 👌 👍
Thank you Craig :)
Wow!! really nice work!!
That was incredibly satisfying to watch. In a future video, you should do what Bad Obsession Motorsport did on a Project Binky video. They started a timer when they started doing a bit of fabrication, and kept showing it at every step, just to demonstrate how long a single piece of fabrication actually takes.
thats a good idea we may have a go at that :)
I think that's a great idea too. I'm just getting into this type of work and people don't realise how time consuming doing a proper job is.
Great channel guys. Love watching you work 😎
incredible work a dying art!!
Steve, the man who welds faster than his shadow. 😄
Loving the videos
Can't believe those skills...
Thank you :)
Are you planning to Seam weld that wheel arch in the next episode, or is the stitch welding deliberate? Great vid!
Nope it will be seam welded in like all our jobs :)
your work is amaizing mate i have subscribed your brilliant
Fantastic job Great channel!
Thank you very much :)
I love those little clamps right until the weld pinches them in the panel gap
Yer they do, I always try to leave a little bit more then just the thickness of the clamp but still occasionally pinches :)
Omg outstanding work I’m a new subscriber to your Channel I’m so looking forward to seeing what next’s I’ll will be catching up on all your old video too guys 🫶🏻👏🏻
Metal artists! 😮
thank you Mark :)
Mükemmel bir işçilik ustalık ve sabır ellerine sağlık ustam türkiyedede çok güzel ustalar var fakat çürüklerle böyle uĝraşmazlar
thank you :)
Skills on show right there, would be good to hear some commentary though, keep up the great work!👍🏼
It's not doing bad for its age - what's saved it is the lack of sunroof. On the Mantas, the sunroof drain tubes in each corner of the tray ran down the A and B pillars and neatly finished in the sill, thus guaranteeing the sills going. Jack points standard on all of them, along with the rails as they arch up into the bay, and finally the slam around the battery was another favourite spot. Rear arches are standard GM double skin water trap of the period (see also Astra, Senator, etc etc).
Beyond that Mantas weren't actually too bad for rust for cars of that period.
Yep all the usual spots.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration If I had the time, money, and motivation to do another Manta, it would be a smoothed/Cal look early coupe in that odd Aqua Metallic some of the GSi versions came in. BBS LMs. 3.2 narrow V6 from the Omega. Quad headlights. No spoiler or skirts, just the front GTE airdam.
After all your hard work I hope the cars your restore don’t just become show queens
Guess that's down to the customer but I drive all m classics like they should be :)
Hypnotic
Thank you :)
I see I already commented before, but watched again, and hey, its good for the channel. I'll make you a millionaire yet Steve😜
Must be a real challenge to get the arch support panel to line up and flow correctly with nothing behind it and the heat, you did a fantastic job. Will you come back and weld between the stitches or does that now get filled? Great channel, really enjoy your work
Excelente!
Thank you :)
Mid 70s, lots of industrial action, body shells left out in all weather, then painted over rust.
1:50 ...more tea vicar 😂
Can't help myself I think it's the compression as I get down 😁
A Manta i'm surprised there are any left, most of the people I knew that had them in the 80's gave them a pretty rough life and they rusted well back then. Do you guys do paint or just the panel repairs and fabrication
We paint as well. This opel will be painted with us :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration making good progress and I'm enjoying the step by step repairs
Had three of these, plus Capri's - never paid 400 for all of them,wish I had kept all.
I had the Cavalier Coupe which was the Manta shape , great handling car that was
@@bloominfast
Sports hatchback?, had one in the lovely colour of beige!
professional
Loved my `79 Manta SR, wrote it off in 1990 and the chassis was rotten even then!
Good job boss...
And now - the next RUSToration 🙂
Great skills and seems to be more real life and work compared to american car repair channels. I have owned cars of this period and they were rust boxes from new. I had an Alfasud TI and the passenger door fell off due to rust while I was driving it. Pulling back the carpet on your MK4 Cortina or Vauxhall Cavalier to find you are driving Fred Flintstones car was common
