Quality work👌🏻
Cracking job with the repair my era of car good to see a classic kept on the road this is proper welding repair for this vehicle
A huge improvement over that ugly old patch.
Thank you
Very nice job
@@peterfox6256 thank you👍
good repair
@@jambacardi2474 thank you.
Hello, what welder are you using 🤔
@@ukmud6218 Hi it’s one I I bought from Amazon, it’s a Reboot RBM-1600
Great job mate and ignore the armchair mechanics 👍
@@keithpedder4369 hi thank you, I try not too👍
Nice job 👍👍
@@Absolutenutter68 thank you.
Unfortunately the rot is already in those rails, I would check around the spring cups too because that's another place where they rot out. Also check in the boot floor as more than likely the boot floor will have started rotting too exactly where the chassis rails are. If you can get your hands on a boroscope you could take the back bumper off and there's a small hole in the back panel where you can insert a camera inside the rails which can give you a better idea
Nice job fella fit and finish was really nice spot on looked factory. That ugly patch work you removed was pretty grim but all sorted now 👍
Thank you, the other side is the same and will be another video
Well done keep the vids coming. Yep I know what that's like most of the chassis rails need doing on mine. But to get to mine I've got to drop the back end 😢
Thank you.
Nice job well done. The welding and finish excellent a lot better than what was there before 😊
Thanks Dad, I try my best!
Wouldn't it have been easy to drop the brake pipe out of the way, you must have moved it a hundred times, great welding though
Yes it probably would have been a better idea to of removed it first, but i am replacing them all in the future so wasn’t worried about bending it.👍
Always in hindsight, lol. Starting my Xr3i next month , usual sills, rear arches and battery tray, plus fuel and brake pipes, keep up the good work.
cracking job bud
Thank you.👍
@@ModernClassics81 ur welcome that was the kind of welding i wud do to just get through mot back in day but having classics you do it right
New to the channel, excellent work
Ahh fuck ....ive just remembered seeing complete abortions like floorpans over floorpans😂😂😂shoot me please
The problem when we were welding these up in the 90s...it was always a rush for customers that were completely bombed out on time involved to do it nicely....and didnt want to pay ...just sikaflex it and get through MOT....yeah....😂😂
You’re doing a great job. Keep up the good work
Got the wee man out learning , that's what it's about 👌
Brilliant job
Great to see. These jobs have been done badly on my RS. Something I will potentially be tackling in the future
Thanks for another nice update on your Escort. Also congratulations on having over 1,000 subscribers 👏👏👏
wire brush? you mean 'wire ejector' : )
Good to see abit more work completed 👍
Amazing job looks factory! you have some great fabrication skills 👍
Well done. It's been a while since last post but like me youve other stuff going on too.
Very helpful for an issue with my XR3i. A busted thread on a rear hub was identified during a tyre change so can only secure the wheel with three bolts out of four currently. This will really help me replace the hub. Cheers!
That’s a lovely car in what’s got to be the best colour ? What a nice location the show is being held too beautiful. I remember a black 1 running around my town as a 13year old with aspersions to boyracerhood as well as uno turbo , s2rs turbos , 205gtis and novas didn’t really see any cosworths , m3s or s1rs turbos so much happy days ( 1st car was a 1.2 nova ) 40now
Lovely bit of work on that rear arch mate 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 good to see you back on it 😃
Good to see a new video from you. It is a good solution to glue the wheel arch compared to spot welding it as many do. Glue does not rust. Thanks for a very good video. Best regards from Norway
Thank you, yes I’ve see a lot of other videos on UA-cam doing the same with panel bonding the arches on. Hopefully it will seal the lips together and stop the water getting between them.👍
I've got the same job to do on my escort, going to replace the arches on mine. Luckily enough the outer arch isn't as bad and the body kit will hide where I'm going to weld from. Great work/video
Great thank you, I hope this video helps you with doing your wheel arches👍
@@ModernClassics81 yes it does, have done boot floor on 1 side and just about to put new chassis rail on passenger side so might aswell do arches now too, will have a look back on some of your videos as I'm pretty sure part of the inner arch has gone too, what sealer did you use to bond the arch on?
Looked like a super job to me my good man ..nice one 👍
🙏 thank you.
Good tutorial brother... Jesus YHWH bless you man 🙌❤️ peace
Thank you 🙏
Nice job looks really nice I’d be very happy with that 👌 I’ve been watching Dave for a long time he’s super talented and a great chap I’ve learned so much from him to 👍
Thank you, yes Dave has been a great help with welding techniques and explains everything in great detail. I will try get another video out soon.👍
Do you have a plan for preventing the sunroof rusting?
Hi thanks for the comment, currently I haven’t noticed any rust around the sunroof but prevention is better than cure so I will probably remove the roof lining and try coat it with something, also will make sure the sunroof drain hole are all clear.
Happy new year mate great work on the rear arch and congratulations on reaching 1K subs 🎉😃👍🏻
Happy new year to you too mate. Thank you, I can’t believe it myself.👍
You need a bigger workshop mate 😊
Yes that would be nice, I’d probably fill it with more projects,😆
Congrats on the 1k Chris well done bud. There was alot of rust hiding behind wheel arch. Wise more cut all the arch off for a look 👍
Thank you Sid, yes I didn’t think it was as rusty behind the outer arch as it looked quite solid but you never know. 👍
happy new year and congrats on reaching 1k subs, gimbal definitely takes time to get used to but makes for much smoother filming, keep up the good work
Happy new year , great start to the year keep the vlogs coming .
Thank you, happy new year to you too!👍
Recognise the cheese houses is this nr the charcoal burner used to grew up around hear love to see the rs
I was clean shaven when I watched this video and made a promise to myself not to shave again until your next video at the moment my current look would get me a job in Santa's grotto.
It will be coming soon, sorry for the delay mate👍
It's looking really good, great work!
I was wonder if you have a contact number to talk about getting welding done
Great car, I had one like that years ago G525 JRN yours looks in great condition for an 87 car. Subscribed as I'm currently doing a Fiesta RS turbo and will be replacing the rear arches on that too. Keep the videos coming
Tidy job there mate well done 👍
Great content 👍👍
Keep up the good work fella, defo need to raise the car up on some jack stands or ramps on one side just to get yourself more access, lying down isn't great for the joints lol
Loving your work, so informative. I've got an 87 XR3i cab.
Thank you.
Just curious mate, whats the internal width of your garage? Looking to restore an xr3i but not sure on if ive got enough space!
Hi , my garage is 2.6m wide, I have the car pushed upto the wall on the other side of the garage.
