I am really enjoying this channel. These pros are doing the stuff I and my friends used to do 30 years ago on Cortinas and Hunters but with just hammers and oxy-acetylene. We got there but nothing like as stylishly and with our repairs needing more filler to true them up. Then again we had no shrinkers or stretchers (LUXURY), folders, rollers or cropper. "Tin-snip hand" was a regular condition and the 4.5" angle grinder was a super tool of our dreams.
We all had the Cortinas . I think Steve's first car was a Mk 1 golf . Mine was a Datsun f11
These repairs are done right better than the factory could build them the first time....................................Fort Worth,Tx.................United States
thank you wayne :) bet you don't get as much rust all the way over to Fort worth :)
watching old body filler with rust get replaced with fresh sheet metal gives same sensation as binge watching blackhead/pimple/hair removal videos at 3 am, so good and once you realize what you can fix on your car you just can't stop
Haha thank you I think :)
This is addicting to watch, true craftsmen.....great job everyone.
thank you Paul :)
Tell you what, total respect for the miracles you guys seem to pull out the hat 👍👍👍
I love how even the pro’s sometimes fire a tack on without their earth clamp attached. Makes it seem more achievable to the rest of us. Top work.
You know what Steve. You are by far the best automotive fabricator on RUclips by far. Awesome work. Thank you for the enjoyment.
wow thanks Steve we do appreciate the support as it gives us the motivation to continue to make vids :)
Brilliant welding skills and shaping metal
Great job, good to see craftsmen with the skills and patience to produce such magnificent results.
Thanks John it is very satisfying doing it :)
Nice to see that the E24 is getting better and better.
Steve you are doing an excellent job 👌👌
It´s something so enjoying seeing a true professional at work! 👌
We appreciate your support Mikael :)
Bloody marvellous as per usual, keep up the good work!
i am living your vids please don’t stop this is my favourite channel ,… i diy this sort of stuff myself and i’m living this thankyou !!!
atb
Daniel 😊
Cut'n butt racks up another flawless victory.
Well done! And nice to see you got the bead roller fixed :)
Its only a temporary fix until we can afford a powered bead roller :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration The powered ones are a really good bit of kit.
But make sure you get one with a big jaw as the ones with small jaws can't do panels in the width you usually tackle!
I've used them a few times before, now I'm looking to pick up a manual one same as yours (for ease of moving it around).
That music needs to be replaced with he A Team theme in the background!
John ‘Hannibal’ Smith ….in da house!
It is a genuine joy watching you guys work - I am totally hooked on this channel BIG TIME!
Thank you :) we do appreciate your support :)
I love ❤️ watching you perform your magic 🎩 ✨️ I know that there's a tremendous amount of work in that line of work because I do it some and I have never seen anything like this channel its golden in my ways of thinking pure gold ❤️ I love it and I love to see such a high class of workmanship going into everything you guys do. I watched Ryan Sunday put the frame rail on mat Armstrong BMW and I loved it I wrote a big comment on it I still think that chassis rail belongs in a museum as art work it was beautiful I'm still thinking 🤔 about it and telling everyone about this channel its just the greatest thing ❤️ on RUclips ever .take care Steve and Ryan and everyone who works there and I will be here watching..hope you all have a wonderful blessed week take care of yourselves.
Amazing the faith some lads have in fiberglass and a bit of filler. Nice repair Steve.
they do but i guess its a period repair :)
Superb as ever ,the amount of work that went into these two small pieces just extraordinary
Wow! This is so inspiring. Im in need of ”corners” myself and This video was at great help and inspiration. Thanks.
Nice work. Loved that vid nice to just watch u work with out the try to hard comedy and goofy stuff
You made it look easy 😂 having tried it it’s not! Bravo 👏 excellent work
Look on the bright side: at least it wasn't structural glass fibre :) Keep up the good work!
Love the channel. Top notch workmanship. I'm trying to learn to do this kind of body repair so i can restomod my 72 Dastun 240Z. My go to channels are your channel, Trev's Blog and Fitzee's Fabrications. Keep the awesome videos coming.
Cracking.
Quality of workmanship you rarely see these days.
Loving the channel 👍🏻
A true work of craftsmanship👌
Super job u r doing
Been on my jollies Steve so playing catch up.excellent work.great fabrication.keep it going😊😊😊😊
thanks Andrew :) will do :)
Again Steve; THE RIGHT WAY about how it should be done! Love watching how you approach the task and give us the impetus to do likewise and perhaps not be to daunted by approaching how to eliminate tin worm.
thank you :) that is the aim of our videos and if we helped just one person we would be happy :)
Repairs done right!
Well another great video thanks Steve great workmanship
Thank you Paul its much appreciated :)

Fantastic Steve, top job.
Very nice work!
thank you William :)
That's extremely well done..! 😮
Hypnotic just watching fine workmanship. I am surprised how much of a gap you like to weld into.
Lovely job
Absolutely brilliant , if people only knew what it takes too frabricate such a small part and respect the effort it takes + time 👍
Well done 👍
Amazing skill !!😮😮❤
Lovely job there.
Tidy job 👍🏼
Evening Steve. Well you’ve pulled that one out of the bag nicely 😊 Ryan and you both have very different techniques but still achieve the same fantastic results 👏🏻🤩
Hi Steve. Breaking down into simple shapes is the solution, but you still have to be a good welder. No problem for you.
As wonderful as ever Steve!
Thank you Eddie just underbody to do on this car now :)
Your work is beautiful and meticulous.
Love the channel use guys have got some talent keep up good work nice c old cars getting love ❤️ they need 💪
10/10👍
Show de bola parabéns meu amigo que Deus abençoe
tidy work....
Nice work, as always. If there's rust in those parts, I bet there's plenty more to find.
I need to send my MR2 to you!!!!
We re doing a mk1 MR2 at the moment :)
Great job removing all the bondo crap.
Hi, Love the craftsmanship. When you are Mig-ing the small panels together, it appears to be a series of tack welds. Is this an artifact of filming, or is this what is happening (I do notice occassionally a half second weld) I presume the wirespeed is higher than would be a regular setting? Thanks again for such a fabulous video series.
Yep it is basically a series of tack w/ stitch welds in order to minimise heat and distortion, Technique is to space pot a series of tack welds to set the sections in place and then use the cutting disc to open up the panel to finish weld. By working your way across the join from side to side, build a tack on the preceding one; wait till the weld bead just glows red and then add the next weld onto that. Sometimes you need to cool the weld with compressed air so as to keep the adjoining panel from too much shrinkage, Again it depends on the shape and size of the panel. In my limited attempth, I have used a higher than recommended setting, in order to get a penetration. I think Steve has covered this in some of his previous welds m but for a more in depth on this "cut and shut" technique, "Fitzee's Fabrications" has a few videos on it. I love watching YCR, Steve, Ryan and Crew, doing their stuff, as it is the right way to go about it.
Hi Brett I couldn't have said it any better than Brian has 👍 thank you Brian :) 👍
Enjoying the content 👍🏻
Better without the music 😱
Brilliant job as always. That filler was enough to feed a family of 5. Have you ever used lead ?
Todays job dropped in here is a Gen 1 1970's Hilux tub. It's Unobtainium to replace & is also in complete tatters. I already did most of the other panels on this vehicle, the doors, cab, etc etc - it has arrived piecemeal. Last big hurdle is the tub.. I have - tbh - not a clue where to even start - there isn't a rust free square inch. Everything is rotten.
Only "Plan" I have is to get a mate with a big industrial blaster to blast the whole thing, go from there taking it entirely apart & rebuilding every individual panel, then put it back together. I'd rather face into 20 BMW E24's than one Hilux tub - they are a total nightmare when you delve into them. Blaster picks it up in the morning - say prayers for me.
👏👏👏
Superb work Steve. These videos really are inspiring. Is that just a heavy grit sanding pad you use to grind the weld flat ?
Genius……
Thank you :)
🤘😎🤘
bloddy amazing steve !!! how did you learn to do this stuff ?
Hi Karen, thank you. I just started mending cars. I basicly learned myself as there was and still isn't anyone who will show how this kind of restoration is done, hence why we show people how it's done and how to do it :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration self taught!!!
What metal are you using? (Grade, thickness, etc - what should I ask for when ordering supplies?)
most external panels are 18 gauge and structural are 16 gauge :) just standard body repair steel :)
What gauge would be the metal that is being used.
It's 18 gauge :)
🤗👍💯
Great video but please leave out the glitchey effects in the middle of the video, it is very annoying and just not needed, but otherwise amazing work and video good job!
Why didn't you put one single tac weld on the inside of the piece that you made 🤔 only to grind off all the weld you put on the outside.😊
I'm guessing you mean why did I weld both side then grind down the outside.
Doing this give enough metal/weld to put a radius on that edge and not leave the metal thin. If I didn't then when I put a radius on it there would be a possibility I would have ground through it.
No I thought you didn't weld inside 👍
@@neilstandish455 ah nope. Deffo welded both sides :)
1 000 000👍
This car fully restored is valued at over hundred thousand dollars
Do you ever stop and wonder if one of your ancestors was a blacksmith that made armor and helmets? How did they make all those amazing suits of armor when cardboard hadn’t even been invent yet?🤔
OK so say it took him 2 hrs to do that. What do you think that small part would cost? My guess is 150 pounds.
I am currently restoring an E31, 840Ci, the E24 was kind of the forerunner. There are no parts like that any more, so you have no choice but to make them. But as an example, BMW made a rear wheel arch repair section for the E31, the last time I checked they were still available, wait for it, £1000 each side. I am currently having to re-make the radiator support panel, it is no longer available from BMW. It is the worst single panel I have EVER encountered. It is made entirely from bends, curves raised edges, complex holes, you name it. I have had to make it from at least 20 smaller sections of metal all butt welded together. The amount of welding and grinding is just insane. Steve and the guys are just sensational in my opinion.
Should I be concerned that on some of the shots while welding you don't seem to be using a welding mask?
Why does it seem like all the cars in England are decaying faster than the British Empire?
I just don't understand why you do not speak or comment in your videos. It would make your content so much more interesting and educative to explain some of the stuff you do. Bizarrely, it seems the only videos where you talk a bit are those on Matt Armstrong's car!
Your channel is wrong it must be yorkshire coach works.
Thabk you dosnt have the same ring though :)
