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!!!!!
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 !!! " 😁✊
The process of forming the fore end of the sill shows a fantastic level of skill. I've been working on car body work for many years and currently elbow deep in an old Jag and I've learned a thing or two from just watching this. Hats off!
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!
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.
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.
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 !
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
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.
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.
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 .
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!!
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
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.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Wow, bargain. Such a cool tool, that, especially when considering the alternatives are far inferior (hacksaw, cutting wheel, hand snips).
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 🤩
I have to say, I don’t care at all about Shmee, or Colin Furze, or anyone ‘famous’. I’m happy to be relaxingly mesmerised by the incredible skill involved in this kind of work.
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.
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
@@yorkshirecarrestoration I know every repair is different, but how much did this repair cost in total for example? Really curious how that compares to the place I've been to
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.
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.
Amazing job Steve....Love watching what you can do with flat sheet rather than buying repair panels! If my Mx-5 ever needed rust repairs I know where I'd go!....👍👍
The inner upright which was the first panel that Steve repaired is not available as a ready made panel. While the outer sill is available there were other small bits and pieces that would need fabricated to complete this job.
@@drumtochtyglen thanks for the info I wasn't sure what panels were available, and we've all seen the poor fit some panels are made with and probably would cost far more too!
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.
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.
Bloody amazing skills, how much I wish I could afford to get you to do my Freelander sills but I'm in Devon and skint! Going to try to do it myself, I can weld a little but watching the panel forming skills here humbles me tbh. Big respect and so nice to see things being done so well. I'm very glad my repair job is a lot more simple than the Mazda here OMG!
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.
@@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.
@@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.
The inner sill isn't done from inside the car. The back in nner edge is done from inside the car and the inner sill edge section is done when we cut of the bottom of the inner arch that was rusty but thank you for your comments.
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.

We try to make the videos like an action movie :)
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
watching this is like therapy , so relaxing to see an artist at work.

Best to make the mistakes in cardboard but sometimes the transfer to metal just goes wrong.

With the EU's plan to ban these repairs on 15 year old + cars, there will be no line.

Always impressed how you guys roll a panel to match the curve of the car itself. Love the soundtracks too.
Thank you John :)
Skill vs time. This man has the skills to make a repair like this worth it.

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 :)
I have never met so much patience and passion ! Congratulations !👍
Masterpiece,greetings from Germany
Thank you and Hello Germany :)
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 :)
Actions speak louder than words - great!!!
Love how you sneak up on making the replacement panel - patience with pace ! Nice
Yes it all comes together in the end :)
