    Another clear and concise video getting straight to the point, thanks Steve. There appears to be rust around the wheel arch protector attachment studs that needs seen to and a few other local rust patches that no doubt you will sort out for the owners. Did the Restoration gets it's MOT in the end. You advised it was waiting on parts.

    where to draw a line between redoing return lip of inner arch vs glueing inner lip and having return lip only from outside arch? it's way more noticeable that arches had been redone but on other hand many New cars come this way Like Fiats. but cars with double skinned arch feel more posh when they have return lip.

    • @ivanfilipovic3296
      @ivanfilipovic3296 2 года назад +1

      some mazdas after 2016 have return lip where outside skin crimps over inner arch which is all sealed with some strip. in real life that would be impossible to replicate i guess. guess a lot of it comes to which country you live and if it's rare that you have Rust on cars than it's bit of a shame if your bodywork was reworked while in UK where everything is rusty it's viewed bit differently

    • @yorkshirecarrestoration
      @yorkshirecarrestoration  2 года назад +1

      Well the only reason you would be cutting it off if it was rusty otherwise you would leave it alone and if it’s rusty it will rust again if it’s double skinned but it won’t if single so better off in our opinion :)

    Great video again. There seems to be many variations on these Miata wheel arches, and they all seem to rot in England. I'm also a Yorkshire lad and thought you may be interested in the tool I recently saw (and bought myself). I have no connection to the company but saw them being used on Fitzee's youtube channel.
    ruclips.net/video/mU46MpCXD3g/видео.html
    CLECO fasteners.
    I wonder if you have seen a special tool for holding panels together in exact place, easily removable on and off before welding. It is from the airplane construction industry and only needs a 1/8 inch holes in the panels where you would use a mole grip, spot weld the panel then remove the clips. It's called CLECO fastener. I first saw them used on Fitzee's channel. You can put a panel in place, remove it and then put it back exactly in the same place as many times as you like before welding.
    I bought my tool and fasteners on ebay and think it is better than holding panels in place with mole grips. I only saw they recently but bought the tool and 10 fasteners for less than 22 pounds from a place called SkinPins from Glasgow on ebay. I hope this helps.

    • @yorkshirecarrestoration
      @yorkshirecarrestoration  2 года назад +1
