I love the fact you just show us what we want to see but without all the talking, unfortunately most of the other fabricators on RUclips spend 80% of the time talking about what they are about to do and the other 20% showing us a very basic overview of the repair, well done!!!!!
We try to make the videos like an action movie :)
First 19 min going to all that trouble to reincorporate the hole that' does nothing for the structural integrity , the swage should have been left whole then welded into place sealing off the hole preventing / slowing water ingress when outer skin rots again also when patching once shape is achieved clamp patch into place over the panel and cut through both patch & panel together at intended join once you take both cut pieces out you'll have a perfect fit eliminating the need to keep cutting & checking fit,,, these holes are there to assist /speed up rusting by car Manufacturers they're relying on them to rust so the Consumer will buy NEW Cars
That sill looks great! Nice to see an old car that is not heading to the scrap yard.
Thank you and yes one more saved :)
@@yorkshirecarrestorationgreat work very well done
Origami at its best
Haha it was kinda foldy 😁
Absolutely fascinating watch. Hats off to you Steve true craftsman
Thank you :)
This is an absolute piece of artwork, so many little curves and bends that was pure joy and extremely educational to watch you guys are the world's best 👌. I love your channel and I love you all to friends
Thank you David. Iv been doing this almost 30 years and it's only now that people can see how much care we take doing the inside as all people.see when the car is done is the outside :) youtube has given me even more pride in our work :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration I'll say one thing when you guys fix it you sure do it right it's better than factory when you guys get done with it..I wish I had my jaguar over there so you could fix it.. mine is really rough probably too rough tbh I thought about buying a new old stock car hull and putting everything from mine to the new one
Наконец-то ! Нормальный автосервис с нормальными специалистами, без гламура и пафоса. Где то на коленке, где то с соответствующим оборудованием. Турбинка без кожуха, двутавр как наковальня. Вообщем красавцы. Много нового и нужного для себя нашел, спасибо мужики 💪👍 . То же кузовщик-сварщик. Привет из России. "Пролетарии всех стран объеденяйтесь !!! " 😁✊
Кузовщики всех стран объединяйтесь 😁👍
и курят в цеху и молотки ещё старые, совецкие... э-э-э-э... тэтчеровские...☺☺☺
Just wanted to make a quick comment before I forget. I've seen the uploads about who's who you guys are very talented. I know you guys or lad's have showed tools, how to make most of the parts properly. I was hoping that you could show us where you Steve started even before a shop. And I think as a viewer that watches a lot of different channels are you planning on what everyone else does as far as rebuild and restoration? Honestly that would really appeal to a wider range of audience. Keep on cracking on love the content.
For so long as there are cars people love enough to pay for repairs like this, you will have a line of customers coming to your door. This can never be done by a robot or a computer. Kudos. It may sound daft, but the sheer human exuberance and skill in this is actually moving in this crazy world.
With the EU's plan to ban these repairs on 15 year old + cars, there will be no line.
@@HondasAreNotForChristmas😪
@@HondasAreNotForChristmasYou will have to move out of EU...😅
Im always worried about my rear arches and sills on my NA I never give much thought to the front! is it usual for them to go this bad ?
Always impressed how you guys roll a panel to match the curve of the car itself. Love the soundtracks too.
Thank you John :)
Saw some earlier videos, you're like the MX5 bodypanel whisperer.
Nice video, perfectly paced and good music to go along, you can really drown out the world when autobody rust keeps asking questions and posing problems.
Haha thank you :)
To make that outer skin from one piece of metal (( and several cuts) is amazing. Love it all gents, keep em coming, Joe
Thank you Joe that's much appreciated :)
Impossibru? Not for Steve-san! I don't own or want a MX5 but I love the videos all the same. :)
Haha thank you for your continued support :)
Really neat repair on a very fiddly area Steve. Nice work. They aren't technically very hard to do, but getting the repair to look so smooth is where the real skill comes in. I have to go buy one of them benchtop shears - don't have one & you use yours in every video - a sure sign they're useful.
Hi James. Thank you :) Yes it was only £80 off ebay and gets used all day every day :) a must for sure :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Wow, bargain. Such a cool tool, that, especially when considering the alternatives are far inferior (hacksaw, cutting wheel, hand snips).
Steve, it's poetry in motion, a craftsman at the top of his game, love it, Joe
Thank you Joe :)
It's always super deflating when you spend a lot of time making a panel to then offer it up and figure out you put the very last kink or bend in the wrong place and have to start over. Always found it super demoralising when doing my own cars. It's honestly very heart warming to see even people with far more experience and skill sometimes suffer from the same errors, thanks for leaving that in the vid! Fantastic craftsmanship!
Wow. This is the best welding Restoration Video ive ever seen. Real professional Work👍
Nice stuff as always. What gauge metal was used for the inner repairs? I know typically I've seen outer sheet steel around 20 gauge, and inner stuff around 16-18?
Thank you :) We use 18 for none structural and minimum 16 for structural :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Good to know, thanks. And do you use anything particular for weld thru primer or just pure zinc primer? Have you tried any 2- part underbody spray that I've seen you finish areas with? I would trust it alot more to hold up and create a moisture barrier. A lot of the single part underbody sprays are water based.
Incredible patience...and better metal work. I also figured out why Steve plays music over the videos...with the difficulty he had with fabricating the shape of that piece, he did not want us to hear all the cursing he was doing. Lol! Please keep these videos coming.
Haha, tbh I never get frustrated at making shapes out of metal as I enjoy it :)
This video was a joy to watch, even the "reminder to self " moment near the start, simply added to the humble and honest portrayal of this talented guy, we have all had those tiny "oops " moments so kudos to him for not editing it out ! .....and a nice choice of music too !
Can i ask what gas you are using to mig weld as im using c02 wich doesn't stay consistent when welding it sometimes leaves what i would say are pig tails on the end of the spot weld thanks great work you made it look easy.
Hi Danny , we also use just co2 we dont have that problem , sounds like not enough heat ?
Absolutely mesmerizing! Crazy skillfull fabrication!
Metalwork Magicians. Really enjoy watching your fantastic skills at work. Creating something from nothing. Cheers
Thank you :)
I like how you work and i've done similar things and i know what a headache is to constantly being on the make of metal parts that weren't expecting, it's stressful to go that far and then the right next minute think if you can make it to the next panel. I really like what i see on this channel. To be honest cars are overcomplicated structures whereas they could be simplier, it's such a shame to have endless sheet metal going to nowhere and trapping so much rust making any repair extreme.
Thank you. They are sometimes complicated but I love fabricating and I also love a challenge :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration gotta agree there is no better feeling when you've repaired and/or fabricated something and at the end look at it and think I did that, loved that sheet metal curve bending frame made from 3 pipes welded together a great idea inspires me to make one for myself.
nice to see someone do it properly. Do you put any internal anti corrosion treatment in when finished ?
Yes everything we do get corrosion protection after its finished :)
Top stuff! So glad you used galvo-spray on the inside. Would have been a waste of all that time and skill to leave it bare metal and have it go crispy again. You going to waxoyl inside?
Yes we always Waxoil and protect the inside even if it's left bare metal to start, we always protect when the jobs done even if it mean drilling access holes :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Superb!
Great job! What primer is it you're using?
That's weld through primer.
Wow, amazing job Steven! I may have to watch this artistry in action one more time. It's amazing how all your pie cuts and angles resemble the original sill bottom. Fantastic work!
Only thing I observed is you didn't drill holes and place nuts behind the bottom of the sill for the front fender to attach to. Two threaded 10mm bolts secure the fender as you know.
Thabk you Michael, self tapping bolts then Waxoil are what we use :)
@Yorkshire Car Restoration Less likely to rust and seize up in the hole over time as well. Thanks.
I have to say that your videos make the programs shown on the Motor Trend TV channel look like foolish crap. Nice work showing what can be done with basic tooling.
Another great video Steve outstanding workmanship as always thank you for sharing with us keep up the great work ♥️👌
Thank you Dean we will :)
Skill vs time. This man has the skills to make a repair like this worth it.
thank you :0
Hi, what gauge of metal did you use for this repair please
for inner structural it would have been 16 gauge and external none structural 18 gauge.
proper job Steve👍
Thank you :)
👍 Great stuff you,ve given me a little hope for the work on my Jeep tj. Thanks Paul
watching this is like therapy , so relaxing to see an artist at work.
Haha thank you :)
Masterpiece,greetings from Germany
Thank you and Hello Germany :)
Great video Steve and as usual great work. Just a few affordable basic tools, a ton of skill and another car saved from the scrap yard 👍 Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Nick and yes another one saved :)
Nah nothing is Impossible - well that's how it seems watching this repair - brilliant as ever
Haha thank you :)
Надо было эпоксидным грунтом защитить металл, а потом только антигравий наносить(в самом конце ролика)
It was all protected after the job was finished :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration тогда всё сделано круто👍😀
Wow Steve, possibly the best repair I have seen you do to date. Unbelievable skills. Well done.
Thank you Bob we do appreciate the support :)
Evening Steve. A master at work 👍🏻 It’s amazing how you can see the mess and with a steel ruler and a bit of tin fold it bend it and weld it it looks amazing 🤩
Thank you Steve it's much appreciated :)
so good to see people fix it right like my self and not fill it full of filler and hide it . the amount of time in the body shop i find this when i do repairs is scary . awesome work there top class !
You’re as bad as Tom Cruise. This wasn’t the least bit impossible. Personally I’d save those types of adjectives for the Datsun 260Z project.
Yes the datsun is closer to being impossible :)
Very cool! Master craftsmen right there! Half of your great work will never be seen again!
Yes but I know it's been done right so I'll sleep better 😁
Steve, my flabber has never been so gasted, this fabrication work is just superb.
Thank you Eddie, I'm sure you know your support is always appreciated :) 👍
After many years of experience this is what‘a possible when you can’t obtain a original panel, you hire someone with skills to do a professional job, that’s why quality work costs.
thank you :)
Now that's craftsman ship at its finest , amazing work lads . Was a joy to watch such a beautiful car being remade/restored to its former glory like this .
Serviço de qualidade. Fabricação de vários ângulos e dobras em peças única.
Thank you :)
it's a nice video thanks. from my perspective, I don't think the music helps to enjoy the video and i'm not an expert but why dont you make a paper template at first and lay the paper on the metal prior to cutting hit ? still a nice video thanks for sharing
Thank you Nicolas. There is no right way to do this, there are however several different way to do this. This is just one of them and a paper template is another. :)
You guys work an amazing job. Question? Why do you work on Mazda Miata A lot? Are they popular at Uk.
I started repairing mazda's first and classics after so I got known for them :)
Use an etch primer before your rocker guard
thank you for your input :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration your metal work is absolutely brilliant!!! I'm located in canada where they use salt on the roads in winter ... the primer gives the rocker guard a conversation coating to aid in adhesion... im 20+ year tech.
Amazing that rust that bad still causes sparks from your grinder.
Think there is still a bit of metal under there :)
I usually employ the '5 litres of filler and a shovel' method; your way seems to work though! 😅
As long as your happy 😁
Top quality steve 👏
Thank you Carl :)
Its an upvote from me! But next time, spray some etch primer before the black thick paint! :)
Thank you :)
Great job Steve your the best!
Thank you Robert :) 👍
Brilliant. I am going to borrow some of your tricks! Thanks!
Thank you, glad they help :)
Love it! What a superb high quality job! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you Colin. It's our pleasure :)
Is anything beyond you? Nah, 'course not..😉👍
I love a challenge bazer :)
I really don’t understand where you guys get your patience from, this is once again another top quality repair, just wish there were more quality welders like you guys.
Totally agree. I learned how to weld when restoring my Ford Puma. This is exceptional work and Steve makes it look easy, but it isn’t. When I picked up my Puma yesterday after MoT and service, the mechanic (not technician!) showed me some welding on a car that he was working on. He explained that the work was done by a welding teacher!! Even with my limited skill I would not have sent out the vehicle in that state. So much for welding teaching today!!
I love my job so guess that helps and thank you for the support :)
Not all welding teachers can weld and specially on car body's, welding old thin sheet metal is a whole diferent ball game from regular welding :)
Question why not use a nibbler or a pneumatische saw saves time
If you know our channel or what we do you will know we show how to make things like this with simple tools at home, We have all the tools your referring to but we don't used them in the videos as not everyone has them at home. But thank you for your comments.
it's like origami with sheetmetal! well done mister!
Thank you David :)
Чувак конечно молодец. Но вот только зачем приваривать не готовую деталь (с разрезами)?
It's exactly how you say. It's unfinished as there was more to do on the inner wing and inside. We did that later from the inner wing direction and from inside the car :)
Love your work Steve!
Thank you I do appreciate the support :)
Excellent work,in my fabricator welder apprenticeship my teacher always drilled into me about worrying about the parts you can't see as much as the parts you can,looks like you had the same tutor,just subscribed
Yes I do like to know the bit on the inside are as good as the ones on the outside :)
At 8:06 what's he doing smoking in a workplace, fantastic work, thanks for uploading.
Booked my NA in for rust delete yesterday. 🤞
It will be good :)
Good job saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina
Thank you Daniel :)
Not many would bother to grind the soon-to-be-hidden welds. As a hobby builder I would, but to see it done in a commercial setting on an inexpensive car … bravo.
I have pride in my work :) I would know it's there :)
I'm starting to feel sorry for the rust it doesn't stand a chance with you around another cracking job 👍
Haha thank you Dale :)
I was fascinated by your ability to develop a complicated shape by eye and a great deal of skill. It shows that it can be done and how. (Sigh) I have a long way to go.
Keep practicing, one day it will just click into place and feel second nature :)
do you guys have an apprentice to carry forward this dying art?
we do yes :) Im Steve and im passing on my skill and knowledge to my son Ryan who you will see in our other videos working on the Disaster Datsun and Suzuki LJ80 :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Cool! glad to hear that.
Love the videos, great soundtracks , which zinc primer do you use ?
Thank you barrie, it's just one made by our local paint shop I think, we use a few :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration ahh ok we use Halfords weld through primer , we have done extensive testing on bare steel and rusty steel left outside to the elements and found it doesn’t rust through like most primers ( we’ve tried a few) as it’s 65%zinc rich. But it’s about £12 for a 400 ml tin and was looking a alternative of the same quality at a better price
Impossible? Really? you have already shown us several times that this word is not part of your vocabulary.
Haha thank you Leo we do try our hardest for our viewers :)
I got lucky. Purchased a clean straight 1990 NA only to find not a speck of rust anywhere. This will be the perfect platform for my next build now that the ND1 is finished.
Excellent work!!! But can you make a front valance for a lancia Fulvia?
Thank you and I would say so yes :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration complex part so that would be impressive.
first
You were :)
It surely makes a difference when you have the necessary tools and equipment to fabricate the parts. I enjoyed this video of a true craftsman.
Without blowing too much smoke up ya Ass Steve, your level of skill astounds me. Well done mate.
Haha thank you Steven, the compliment is appreciated :)
The iside is not protected why no primer
It's primed with weld through primer. If we use any other primer its all flammable so we protect and Waxoil after the job is complete.
As soon as i see an angle grinder with no guard on it... I know i'm watching a pro. Just waiting for the weather to improve a little before i start on my MX-5 NB. I don't have the luxury of an indoor workshop at the minute (i design and build CNC machines and they have priority in the garage) so i'll be on my back on the driveway not too far away from you in Leeds. Watching these videos is keeping up my appetite for it until i crack on with mine. True engineering porn..
Thank you. Not to far as I commute fro..leeds everyday :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration I'm in Horsforth. Where's the best place locally to buy sheet metal?
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Or can i buy some from you? I'd rather pay a bit more and put a little profit in your pocket by way of a thankyou for the videos.
@@AndyMcGeever we purchase from bently steel supplies in Doncaster :)
Beautiful work, but seeing the rotten hole in the wheel arch next to it I guess it's endless.
Nice work again, would be good to see some kind of idea on how long it takes to fab something like that, I’m thinking best part of a day for this.
I watch this, and other similar videos and get inspired to get in the garage to tackle the rust on my Manta but when it comes down to it I just open the door, stand staring at the enormity of the work and leave it for another day…
It took about 4 hrs :)
The "Michelangelo" of metal.
haha thank you :)
I'm not the only one bending metal in the wrong place.😂
The finished job looked like it grew there
Thank you :) yes I do it occasionally haha.
Great work, thanks for sharing
Thank you :)
Blachy wyspawane. A później pomalowane barankiem. A gdzie primer?
That was impressive, respect.
thank you steve :)
Amazaazing
... my NB2 has got a hole in this exact place... Hoping it won't need this much work!! Amazing skill
Hi steve.. loving your vids your talent is amazing, learning so much from you, keep the vids coming👍can i just ask what is the average thickness of the steel you are using on the chassis as you seem to be forming it very easily, im guessing 1.5mm🤔 Cheers.. Bill..
good job but to be definitively efficient, you should put grease everywhere. grease et the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind bumper, behind (inside the car), behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside cavities - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and poor old oil everywhere each year.Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france
If you remove the handle from the zigmachine machine, weld the nut and put on a ratchet wrench, it will be convenient. The handle (key) will always be on one side, and it can only be turned by pressing down. And you won't have to reach so far for the handle.🤔🤔🤔
One word, amazing!😊
Thank you Barry :)
Tip Buy a stretch machine
Watch the video again. I use a stretcher :)
LEI È UN ARTISTA DEL RICAMO D'ACCIAIO BRAVO !
Thank you :)
Wow, great video, im glad it popped up to watch, turned out awsome, im going to need all the hands on, in the near future, Liked the music over all the metal fabbing, i remember watching my other super hero, Ian, he used a dog bowl to get his curve/cup shape, im soaking all these great videos like a sponge, thank you
Superb demonstration of skills, entertaining and relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing work as always. Like watching art in motion.
Fancy fixing up my Nissan S12? 😁😂
Very nice work.
Fantastic job.👍
