Just finished watching....the real value in this Bedford resto. is the fact the vehicle was manufactured with purpose. The purpose was utilitarian. Your end goal is to put it back into service. As a merchant of tea and cake it will again be of practical use. Not a toy or museum prop, but again serving the public in a useful enterprise. I see it as an exceptional labour of love that will bring joy;and smiles; to all who work out of;and purchase items from; this piece of British history. The blending of new and old brings an even greater practical utility to your unique Bedford. Thank you for showing me there are still artisans with hard-earned skills and most of all: SOUL. The very best to you and yours.
Thanks for making these! Your content is awesome and so educational. The guys who do the v weld end up adding so much filler to cover the v. Your results are obviously so much better. You could grind down the back and nobody would even know you had patched the panel. Impressive results.
This video made the biggest improvements to my patching, and I’m still referring to it and trying to improve each time. Thanks Trev! Never mind the ridiculous thumbs down, I bet it was from the old panel :)
you're the first person i've seen ever use a body saw to cut the metal. i don't like the big gap left by an angle grinder. i just did a patch on my old truck and i rushed the spots and warped it bad. i have to learn patients which is not my virtue. i weld so seldom i have a time getting the settings right on the welder. that all said thanks for the video. i really enjoyed and i learned something and that's always good.
Thanks! About to have a go of thin sheet welding with a novice who plans to fix up a car, your tips are great, and burst some bubbles and misinformation. The tip about keep sheet flat and micro gap between edges is invaluable.
Nice im working on a 1970 Dodge W200, When I lived on Ascension Island in the 80s I had a Bedford van for a bit ended up trading it for a mini pickup that needed tons of welding haha. Nice upload!
Absolutely one of my favorite videos of yours. Great information here. I am happy you explained the use of the damp cloth, moving around, skip welds, and the "panel" pliers that several places sell. What I hoped you would have explained in the beginning is how you set up the welder to weld on the thin gauge steel.. welder settings, and gauge of wire used. Spot on explanation of everything. All of your tips exemplify the quality I looking for in my restoration. Cheers Trev!
Chax24 I have thought since about making another video showing the welder setup and also another technique I use for reducing distortion by using a heat sink using wiper cloth soaked in water. Lots more stuff coming soon. Cheers Trev 👍
More revision for me Trev, as I have watched all your videos before and now picking up again on the specific ones I need for my next task. I have shared one of your videos with my car club Facebook group The Gentry Register and intend to share more. Thanks again teacher Trev, very helpful and your work always looks great. Good point you made about your van restoration and the value of the finished vehicle. There are so many people only interested in the cars that make the money so its great to see your philosophy in action. 👍 My project is a replica of an old MG so it is of the same ilk, but I don't care what others think, I am really enjoying my project and I'm doing it (with your help) to the very best of my ability. Every day's a school day. Cheers Trev 🤔👍 Kind regards Paul
Thanks Trev for taking the time to explain things. It really helps us new to welding. I have body panels to weld and your tips will certainly help me from making some mistakes.
Love your videos bro and your accent. I'm and oid Texas guy and I have to listen closely. However I can tell we can learn alot from your years of experience. Thanks for sharing your experience with us
Interesting stuff and very useful tips. In the morning (Sunday 03/08/2019) I will be mig welding a repair section into an old galvanized water trough for dairy cattle on a local farm. It will be 20 or so years old and has rotted though. Have done these jobs many times but I will use you panel cutting tips to make the repair. Cheers young man your tips are much appreciated.
I'm a new subscriber, recently discovered your channel. Thanks so much for the videos I'm finding them very inspirational. I'm just getting into repairing a rusty truck and I'm learning a lot in the process and from you.Thanks!
Great video, I used your methods today, fitting and welding the upper cowl panel on my Oldsmobile project, thanks so much for posting.... Cheers from midwest USA!
Been looking for a video like this for ages, should have known better and came straight to your channel! Wanted to see how you butt weld two panels together and make it look like it was never done. I've seen people use a step tool which almost creates a lap weld, which I thought about. But seeing you do it this way and the results I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you!
This was awesome! I’m just starting with my own mig welder and have very similar work to do. These tips from a pro like you are very helpful, it’s good to understand the properties of the metal and how it reacts to the weld and the heat.
Cheers mate, I have what appears to be a daunting task ahead of me but your vids make it not seem anywhere near as difficult as I would have believed a few years ago. Just a few more bits to collect before I can have a go
I've been very educated, entertained and spired by this series. Because I'm in a learning/doing mode, I've watch nearly every one. You are such a remarkable instructor. Your mastery of the craft, your artistic flare, your innovate solutions and your accent make you a truly gifted man indeed. Best of luck to you in 2020 as you change focus.
Woo! Thanks Trev on making this a playlist. i'm still only half way through them all. i was just going to share it and was grateful i don't need to explain how to find them.
Wow thanks Trev that was so informative... I'm learning so much, I haven't started welding my car yet, yet I feel like I can weld lol, great work thanks for sharing your skill
Brilliant videos Trev......Its all in the detail that you include in your descriptions. I have learnt so much so far and long may it continue. Well done and thanks :)
Trev thank you for posting. Very good info and I will definitely continue to watch all of your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Cheers mate👍
excellent video, wish i had had this instructional video a few years ago, i have a 1962 ford mk1 consul cortina that needs restoration, not sure if i have the ability to do it now after 3 heart attacks so i will have to wait for a lottery win to get it done, i did enjoy your video though. PS my dad had a bedford van similar to that good memories
Awesome stuff. Just wish I had seen it prior to restoring my Saab. Oh well, better luck on the Fiat. Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge and the great explanations.
Many many thanks, Trev... Truly inspiring ... And I have been welding since the late sixties ... Probably, we share a similar philosophy, as I have spent over thirty years saving Citroën A- and G- series cars, 2cv etc. which were despised by the motor trade in general in the U.K.
Excellent tutorial, couldn't be demonstrated any better, massive THANK YOU to you and your excellent work I've never done any welding myself and just seen a bunch of tutorials here and there, but do want to get my hands into it but didn't quite know where to start, whether to go for a gas-based or solely electric for welding car parts, not quite massive jobs and it's only meant for doing little projects, would be nice to know your opinion on this! Cheers
I'm just starting out welding stick... from the penatration on the back side it looks like a series of tacks in a tight row. Is that how you mig body work, or do you run a solid bead? Thanks for the video.
I was into collision work and bodywork for years and then got sick of body work and become a welder fitter cause mostly cause I got sick of dealing with rust buckets. lol But I now miss both of those trades due to a back injury. Been bed ridden now for two years and haven't been able to work for twenty years. My point is when I did do body work I used air to cool the metal down between welds have you tried that?
Flipping heck you’re a good teacher! I’m the same age as the van and I’m just starting learning welding, mainly for artisan reasons as I'm not well enough to do big jobs, and I’ve learnt more from you than most people of the other videos put together. Thank you for posting this. May I ask why you use a mask rather than the usual flashy helmets?
What wonderful work. But I tend to welding 22 gauge and almost always use an overlap rather than a butt weld. Is this because my technique or welding equipment is lacking in quality?
Trev, what is your opinion of using brass oxyacetylene brazing or even lead solder to fill those annoying pinholes that so often occur when MIG or TIG butt welding steel sheet metal? I lean towards lead just because it requires less heat, hence less panel distortion.
Excellent mod and really helpful for me just starting out rebuilding my Triumph Stag. I was interested that as a true pro you don’t use an auto-darkening helmet, just wondered why as to an amateur like me it seems an obvious thing to do?
hey trev got any tips for painting/sealing the underside weld if it's in say a cavity with poor access? I've seen the cavity wax is commonly used but never tried it
Can’t get enough of your “stuff” Trev, but I know you have a life, and there are only 24 hours in a day! In the trailer to many of your videos there is a corner patch shown, replacing a rusted area in the corner of a front or rear panel (?). It is highly compound curved, looks like a 6” radius, or so. I sure would like to see how you formed that patch! Is there a video showing that process, or was it just cut from another panel? ANY info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Al in USA.
Al S. it was made on an English wheel from memory... couple of years ago now. Check out lazzemetalshaping channel on RUclips. He’s got great videos on shaping metal. Cheers Trev 👍
Trev followed you for a while love the videos. Always good to see tricks with welding especially from someone whom has spent a bit of time doing it lol. Anyway take care
jeepman012 I use a auto darkening shield for TIG welding but I cannot get on with it and always use my hand held for mig welding, I just find it so easy to whip away and see where I am, reposition and carry on welding. Cheers Trev 👍
~ Thanks Trevor, your video has really been a huge help to me!! Question; instead of using the rag, can I simply blow air from a compressor onto it so as to cool it off? Thanks Mate and I look forward to watching Pt. 2. 😎👍🏻🇨🇦 PS - Could you do a video on different welders and how to set it up. Thx again.
Love your videos Trev but disappointed in the current use of MIG welders in panelwork as when I did panel handforming at tech some years ago we were taught to use oxy acet. - what are the advantages/disadvantages between the 2??
Alf Scotting after years of working in the accident repair trade we only ever used mig. I use more gas and TIG at work but don’t currently have the funds to upgrade. Cheers Trev 👍
Greetings from Florida, Trev. After watching one video I had to hit the sub. button. I gather that you're a musician, the music that I hear at the end of the video reminds me of the surfing music of the 60s. Much like the "Ventures" and Dick Dale were playing. Fortunately I was around to experience the outstanding music of that time including the great musicians and bands of the "British Invasion". As for the Bedford that you're restoring, is that brand of vehicle a product of the Ford Motor Co.? It contains the Ford name like the line of "Fordson" tractors that Ford sold there in Britain and I'm curious. I had several Matchbox Series "Bedford" vehicles when I was young back in the 60s, that's how I got familiar with the name. I appreciate that you're willing to make your own tools for body work instead of hawking the latest expensive pieces. You're also using, what most of us can afford, your mig, to do the welding instead of reaching for the that very expensive tig welder that seems to be the latest "in vogue" item. I've grown weary of the TV shows where all that we see is the ass kissing of some rich guy as they go on to restore his car or truck with some artificial deadline. I like it real where average people have a restoration that they want to do and don't have a fortune to invest in a bunch of high end parts and tools. Trev, you seem to be "real" and I look forward to watching more of your informative videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
William Charles welcome aboard William and yes you seemed to have hit all the nails on the head. The Bedford name was a division of the Vauxhall group attributed to the commercial side of the company named after the area Bedford in Bedfordshire England. Cheers Trev 👍
Trev, is there anything other than the battery I should discount before welding a modern car, I have only ever done classic motors in the past. Brilliant videos, many thanks.
Andy Clockwise If it’s got air bags you’re supposed to disconnect both terminals on the battery and the alternator. If it an electric car I have no idea. Cheers Trev👍

Hi Trev , I’ve been doing bodywork for 40 plus years it’s nice to see someone doing it Wright keep up the good videos
You are one of the few who go into great detail in their description of what is going on. I really appreciate that. Can't wait for part two.
Thanks for making these! Your content is awesome and so educational. The guys who do the v weld end up adding so much filler to cover the v. Your results are obviously so much better. You could grind down the back and nobody would even know you had patched the panel. Impressive results.
This is certainly one of the best panel patch repair videos I've seen on youtube. I'll be following your channel closely to learn your tricks.

Hi Trev , love the videos . Nice job my friend very helpful.
Great video I learned a lot. I was wondering if you could show how to duplicate spot welds I haven't been able to make them look factory.
Really awesome Trev! I learned a lot watching you work :)

Thanks for the tips I got some panels to weld up
very impressive welding work. 👍🏻

Great tips,amazing work!
Love your videos dude , new subscriber
Using the hacksaw blade to level the panels is genius!!
What wonderful work. But I tend to welding 22 gauge and almost always use an overlap rather than a butt weld. Is this because my technique or welding equipment is lacking in quality?
You know how explain everything🔥🔥 thanks💪🏻
Thank you 😊
Trev, what is your opinion of using brass oxyacetylene brazing or even lead solder to fill those annoying pinholes that so often occur when MIG or TIG butt welding steel sheet metal? I lean towards lead just because it requires less heat, hence less panel distortion.
Sounds fair enough 👍 depending on access and the job to hand sealing the joint both sides with epoxy mastic works wonders 👍
Hello
Can you show how to cut a panel and fit a replacement panel properly?
Excellent mod and really helpful for me just starting out rebuilding my Triumph Stag. I was interested that as a true pro you don’t use an auto-darkening helmet, just wondered why as to an amateur like me it seems an obvious thing to do?
Nigel Barton can’t use one Nigel... old habits. I only use an auto for TIG. Cheers Trev 👍
