Watching your fantastic videos as part of teaching myself basic welding to fix up my 2001 Yaris. And holy f*** looks like if you can fix a rotten MX5 you can literally tackle any rust repair. It's reassuring that there are definitely rustier cars out there than my bright gold rot box 🤣🤣
Thank you so much for your videos! I've been dreading tackling the rocker panels on my 2006 Mazda Tribute. Thankfully, they've been covered in plastic trim so I didn't have to see them. After seeing your videos it didn't seem like such and impossible task. Just keept cutting away all the bad stuff, and build it back on piece at a time from the inside out. Thanks for giving me confidence to tackle this project! So far so good.
Hi Paul, it is a daunting task when if your own car but take lots of pictures for reference as your taking back, don't be in a rush, consider each layer an achievement and enjoy it, then start and plan the next :) enjoy the process the end result is always satisfying knowing you have done it yourself :)
Fabricated the panels on the chassis rail and inner sill...now I can make the rest thanks to watching you. It's amazing that they all rust in the exact same places
Amazing job. Almost exactly what I'm doing just now except I'm replacing the whole torque box...what a mess was underneath. Thanks for giving me the confidence that I can finish it
And to think that I regarded mine as rusty! Replacing the bottom part of the front rails was a piece of cake compared to what you have to deal with. I somtimes don't know how you can find clean metal to solder onto. Congrats from France.
Fantastic work Steve. You make it look easy. Im particularly keen on the MX5 videos as I have one but saw one of the Porsche one on the deck like me so cant complain I haven't got a car hoist/lift Lol. Again so good to watch. especially as you had a hidden sill section to renew complex your a fabrication genius to my way of thinking. thanks for showing us how to do things absolutely brilliant.
I'm curious since I'm a self-taught "hobby welder" - it seems to me that your welds are a little too cold and when you drill holes for plug welds, you sometimes fill them in with a few small plug welds instead of one bigger. Do you use this tactic intentionally to make sure you don't blast through the thin sheet metal or is there another reason? Anyway, thanks for this video series, I find it super useful to learn more about rust repairs and making all kinds of shapes from a flat piece of sheet metal. :)
You are correct Tee, that is the ideal way of welding but since we are quite often welding to thin imperfect metal surface we have to adapted and weld colder as not to blow holes, if we cut further back then the repairs to the whole car would be too expensive :) It has already blown the customers budget by a long way :)
Great work, no waffle just gets stuck at it, I never realised that MX5's were such rust buckets, I quite fancied one a couple of years ago. if this amount of rust is typical I'm glad I never bothered! Is this normal Mazda quality or just the MX5?
I have watched all your videos and I'm amazed at your work, but what worries me is the amount of rust, I am looking at buying an NC model with the electric roof, what advice can you offer me?
Oh dear i fear this is gonna be my car and i just bought it used..looked good in 2 inspectoons but difficult to spot. Anyway just curious what sheet thickness for the pinch /jacking point sections and also the floor pan just behind the front wheel..? Im assuming this is gonna cost best part of €800
i have just watched your video and i’m just interested roughly how much this type of restoration cost the car seems to be quite a rust bucket , i’m just curious thanks
Hi Tony. Not as much as you think. The rusteration project was done as a project and a tiny budget but we needed the content so we took it on :) In general the sill section repairs we do that include inner, outer sills, and adjacent floor and inner wing are £350 at today's prices :)
how much would you charge for this roughly as I have a similar issue on my mk2 rust on front sill and the floor inner sill that curves up but its not as bad as this one
Hi Karen. Yes we do a lot of rework , the two most common mistakes are people start to cut rust out and go way to far making for a very expensive repair or the cover the rust up with a patch panel, that leads to the rust continuing to spread from the inside :)
wielki błąd przy zabezpieczaniu. Baranek nie służy strike jako zabezpieczenie antykorozyjne. Na gołą blachę podkład, potem farba, lub masa uszczelniająca a dopiero potem baranek.
Восхищаюсь вашим умением видеть правильну форму детали на плоском листе .👍👍👍👍

Glad our videos help Henry :)
Hi. What makes you channel is not only the quality of the repairs but the camera work that lets us see how/what you doing. A 5* production for me. A
Thank you Allen. It’s support from our subscribers that keeps us doing this :)
Another nice simple series repairs to an Mx5 Mk2 As always you guys make the job look so simple. Thanks again for a run through what you are doing!
Thank you for your support Eddie :)

@@yorkshirecarrestoration Going well so far, you'd be amazed at the rust damage from snow and salt here in Canada.
It's bad enough here! Canada must be alot worse!!
Fabricated the panels on the chassis rail and inner sill...now I can make the rest thanks to watching you.
It's amazing that they all rust in the exact same places
Ah glad the videos were of some use Paul 🙂👍
Excellent workmanship
Thank you :)
Amazing job.

Fantastic Paul and thank you for your support :)
How's it going?

An artist at work!

Looking more and more like a mx5 than a kitchen utensil 😂keep up the good work guys 👍👍
Haha it did have more holes than a sieve :)
Loving your videos :) thank you for taking the time to capture these moments for us to see how it can be done on a budget too :) :)
Thank you Kia :) it's our pleasure :)
Hallo Steve, auch beim 2 mal anschauen ein Vergnügen! Hello Steve, I enjoyed watching it twice too!
Bloomin' 'eck! I dread to think how much such a restoration costs, but you certainly are goin' at it w/ aplomb!
Well the budget is tiny but we have decided to do this restoration for RUclips so we can use it as an example :)
Hey Steve
Good to see you here on RUclips.
Hope your doing well buddy.
Hello mate how’s the rotary world down south :) yes we are doing well hope things are good your end :)
incredable work thank you for shareing
Thank you Rob :)
Great work as always guys 👌🏻👌🏻
Thank you as always for your support 🙂👍
Man you do great work bro
thank you :)
Great video, can I ask what brand your metal bench shears are? Thanks
I subscribed to your channel
Thank you :)
nice work,witch gray spray you use?
Hi, what thickness of sheet metal do you use? Good job
I'm curious since I'm a self-taught "hobby welder" - it seems to me that your welds are a little too cold and when you drill holes for plug welds, you sometimes fill them in with a few small plug welds instead of one bigger.

It has already blown the customers budget by a long way :)
@@yorkshirecarrestorationVery interesting exchange, guys, thanks for sharing your expertise and how to adapt to non ideal situations.
nice job what is the clear spray you use before primer
Hi Mark, that's miperox rust neatralizer.
Excellent work, can we know the name of the product you use to cover all the surfaces you work after you finish?
If you mean the black coating thats Gravitex , made by upol :)
Great work, no waffle just gets stuck at it, I never realised that MX5's were such rust buckets, I quite fancied one a couple of years ago. if this amount of rust is typical I'm glad I never bothered! Is this normal Mazda quality or just the MX5?
Thank you, they aren't as bad as they seem but we do get all the bad ones as that's what we do :)
I have watched all your videos and I'm amazed at your work, but what worries me is the amount of rust, I am looking at buying an NC model with the electric roof, what advice can you offer me?
Yes check the rear box sections and rear arms as they do corrode.
Guess you can't always do a full and proper repair if the customer can't afford it. Anyways, what is the clear spray you put on before the zinc spray?
Yes we have to work to the customers budget :) clear spray is rust neatralizer :)
Awesome job guys! What’s that spray you’re using at 19:26?
Thank you, the underbody spray is upol gravitex :)
Satisfaction
Thank you :)
Oh dear i fear this is gonna be my car and i just bought it used..looked good in 2 inspectoons but difficult to spot. Anyway just curious what sheet thickness for the pinch /jacking point sections and also the floor pan just behind the front wheel..? Im assuming this is gonna cost best part of €800
Is that zinc spray you apply before welding?
Yes sink spray or weld through primer :)
I am completely noob on welding. What is the thing you spray before welding? I have some rust on my Rx7, so I am learning how to do repair
Then clear is rust neutraliser and the silver spray is weld through primer or sink spray :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Thank you!
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Another dumb question. What are the thickness levels of the sheet metal for body panel and floor pan you use?
I'm impressed at that weld through primer, I've never had one actually be weld through, what brand is it
that one is Monofil Vario :)
i have just watched your video and i’m just interested roughly how much this type of restoration cost the car seems to be quite a rust bucket , i’m just curious thanks
Hi Tony. Not as much as you think. The rusteration project was done as a project and a tiny budget but we needed the content so we took it on :)
In general the sill section repairs we do that include inner, outer sills, and adjacent floor and inner wing are £350 at today's prices :)

What gauges of steel do you tend to use when forming the new panels?
18 gauge unless it structural then we use 16 and sometimes 14 depending :)
how much would you charge for this roughly as I have a similar issue on my mk2 rust on front sill and the floor inner sill that curves up but its not as bad as this one
Usually between £250 and £350 at todays prices depending on severity :)
nice one
Appreciated :)
Em quantos ampers vc usar sua mig
On a 180amp welder we use setting no 3 out of 10 :)
Whats the black seam sealer your using?
It's tigerseal. You can also use brush on seam sealer :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration been using tigerseal for years and can never remember it coming in the same tube I see you using,hence why I asked 👍
I understand the customer wanted the repair but would you have tried to save this car?
Personally i would have wanted to save this car.
Hey guys, great videos love the energy. How can I get in contact with you?
Hi thanks , you can message us on Instagram @ yorkshire_car_restoration
Perfectamundo
Hope my mx5 doesn’t look like that when you do underseal 😂
Thank you Lee :) no your car is very tidy and solid :)
do you ever have to fix other peoples doggy repairs ? and if so what is the most common mistake people make ?
Hi Karen. Yes we do a lot of rework , the two most common mistakes are people start to cut rust out and go way to far making for a very expensive repair or the cover the rust up with a patch panel, that leads to the rust continuing to spread from the inside :)
This is crazy. This thing is fcked
