I've been in the trade 47 yrs and now won't even attempt this type off work again , people can't seem too understand vehichles corrode from inside out. This video is a perfect example off what i try too explain . Your a credit to the trade for still doing this restoration work and hope you recieve the right amount off coin for your efforts. 💪 👍👍
Unbelievable, honestly beyond belief how much hidden surprises there is once you started cutting, almost looks like the amount of rust is endless. Enjoy watching all of your videos, don’t understand why your channel is so underrated.
Even galvanized bodies rust up all the same.Its pure joy seeing a restoration being done the way it should be.Many times its not just case.This car will look great , no doubt about it.
I am still amazed at how much rust was hidden over the years by layered body paneling… Disgusting treatment of such a beautiful machine. I can’t wait to see you guys bring her back to her glory.
The fact that the welds from the old patches weren't ground down was a dead giveaway that shoddy work was done. Good on ya for doing it the RIGHT way for the customer ♥️
Wow, I’m a former mechanic but was absolutely hopeless at bodywork. When do you know where to stop when you come across such a mess. Looking forward to following this restoration, great work.
Stop when the customer says stop 🤣 Its best to cut till there is good enough metal to weld to and investigate previous repairs on customers approval :)
From my own experience, I would have covered the glass or removed it, the horror when I found little rusty "bits" in my screen, where I was grinding the hot metal embedded in the screen, only to turn rusty when it rained, glad to see you cutting it all out rather than covering it up.
In my 30 years of restoring iv never found grinding a problem or even welding unless it’s very close or it’s left on the screen and left to rust, we do dust all cars off daily , but we have taken comments on board and we are covering the window and the dashboard. :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration I was welding on a Hillman Avenger, and thought it was dust on the clock faces, turned out it was where I was grinding and it burnt into the plastic cover when grinding down the weld, finished the job and got it painted, I saw loads of little brown dots, again thinking it was dust cleaned it all off, only for little rusty dot to appear, I did get them out but it needed a new screen as when the sun hit the screen it was rubbish to look out of the screen, I guess glass is tougher today.
Yes, been there a few times. The last one was my son merrily grinding away at something for his motorbike behind my car, ended up spending a couple of hours with a polisher cussing him whilst trying to remove all the bits from the rear window, bumper and rear quarters.
Learned to cover glass and cloth interiors, learned both hard lessons at the same time when installing a rear qtr panel at about 25 years old. 65 now, never forgot that lesson.
That bracing installation is brilliant. The confidence test, checking it’ll readily take your bouncing weight, is funny but also deadly serious, proving it’s all attached to solid metal.
Amazing work and skills. The amount of rust is unbelivable, I restaure my 964 at the moment, find some rust, and I'm glad it is superficial. Thanks for this great video.
My heart sinks when I see all that rust on a great car. But you take it in your stride - undaunted and eager to grab the tools and get to work. A lesson for life, in fact.
Well all I can say it's at the right place now I've worked on an old 911 many years ago and that one was in the simmler position looking forward to seeing more videos of this one well done guys
The casual observer might begin to suspect that this has been previously repaired with the same meticulous care and attention to detail as the disaster Datsun.
Bloody hell Steve that's some serious work u have on your hands there...wouldnt have wanted to be in that in a crash....glad to see you get it braced up....I was worrying it would fold in half!!!....👍
I am in the middle of my first restoration on a moggy and must have had same welder , when I started I thought great that's been sorted now I know that when I see a weld , not hard to spot then I have to get the can opener out. Just found your site so look forward to seeing the rest. Cheers.
Holy moly!! Watching your restorations, and seeing the extent of rust in cars you repair has convinced me to never ever ever ever EVER consider buying a car that spent ANY time in the UK. Unless it was shipped directly here to the Southeastern US from your shop after you guys had done your magic! BTW, still looking for the link for your YCR t shirts merchandise. (just a friendly reminder ;-) ) .
Just found you, most interesting the corrosion on that 911 and what we say about the poor old TR7. You have just given me the impetus to start work on restoring my 77 TR7 I have had for 43 years. Look forward to future vidieos.
When I hit deep filler like that I now grab a blowtorch & wood chisel to get shut of it. Those 2 get me back to bare metal without the world filling up with dust. :-) Leaves the metal spotlessly clean too, which is a bonus. Makes welding a lot nicer as well as there's no residue. I point the floor fan strategically to get shut of any stank.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Drop dead gorgeous Mk1 Capri in here today for floor repairs - makes a nice change from crusty Japs. :-) Almost a treat,, almost..
Wow what an incredible job you guys are doing on this.....Thanks for taking the time to record and edit for us. I said to mysef " No way can this be saved " but heres hoping
Do you ever look at the state of a car like that or the Datsun and think it's too far gone, crush it! I'm glad you don't, but it must cross your mind. Another great video. Thanks.
After trying to repair my vauxhall combo which the sill and inner sill is knackered I have 1000% more respect for what you guys do. Not that I had non before but it put into perspective how good you are.
This brings back memories. I went to look at a g series 911 about 8 years ago that was just as bad in not worse than this one. Travelled over 900 miles because I was told that the car was solid and just needed a respray to find a pile of fibre glass and filler in the shape of a 3.2 Carrera.
Wow that is absolutely alot of work on this rust bucket. Good luck but I can see you are going to do great fabricating repairs. Thanks for sharing your content. Take care and get yourself a new pair of gloves 🧤
The P38 Bandit has been at work at the front N/S I see! He's a bad lad! Can't you go drop this off where you found that abandoned Datsun? Good job that Porker is in good hands!
I watch a lot of these types of videos on here, mainly American and watching this, they have no idea what rust is !! To me that was a nice shell before you started on it and I am struggling to believe the amount bodging on a car like this! Look forward to all your videos.
And I thought I wore gloves long after they were useful! 😀 Nice work so far. It looks like a borderline horror show, so that's got me subscribing and looking forward to the next episode.
Well said in that last comment! It looks better already just to see what you have/don't have to work with! I'd rather have solidity and care than "bodgy" smoothed over "pretty" Lipstick on a pig, that is! I'm glad you're on it Steve!
Please wear safety equipment, e.g. full face shield, dust mask and ear defenders. You have very many followers, you and your talented staff need to set an example. Eyes cannot be replaced and the effects in later life of dust inhalation along with deafness is no joke. Health and Safety is to be taken seriously.
okay sir, you convinced me. I will NEVER buy a old car ! It might look really good but you just don't know how bad it really is. Repairing this must cost a fortune !
Love the videos and the work you do but put some ear-defenders on! My tinnitus from 20 years of grinding and cutting without em isn’t fun, wish someone had badgered me to wear them!

for the amount of work you are doing on this car thinking better ti weld some bracing in place to avoid movement.also spend a few hours making a rotisserie to aid work.
I ain’t never ever seen so many gremlins in my whole life.. clearly the previous repair person needs to be hunted down and relieved of his credentials. 💯
A lot of these awful repairs probably happened when this was just a relatively worthless used car. Now they are appreciated for the great sports cars they are so they are worth the money and effort it takes to save them.
Excellent workmanship first rate! Subscribe done! Great channel love classic cars, back in early 1980 we used to call these VW and now it is a rust bucket..🎉🎉
Vielen Dank für die Videos! Ihre Arbeit ist mehr als anerkennenswert und es macht Spaß, ihnen dabei zuzuschauen. Aber: Was hat eigentlich der Besitzer gesagt, als sie ihm den vielen Rost gezeigt haben? Thank you for the videos! Their work is more than commendable and fun to watch. But what did the owner actually say when you showed him all the rust?
When I ran a used porsche back in the 90s, the Targa versions were the poor relations and did not fetch much money so I expect quite a few had the El Cheapo patch up and were moved on. Anyone doing one properly probably would not get their money back at the time. Sad really but that;s how it was.
This is a great video that anyone who is considering buying especially an expensive classic should view. Expensive classics are too valuable to wreck and there is a huge risk that a quality bodger will create a fraud. I have seen cars so bad that they are only fit to be crushed. Buy unrestored honest cars. Be very careful. Auctions are high risk
That chunk of fibreglass wow. Who ever did the previous repairs needs to go to bed without any dinner. Would love to see how you go about rust prevention as you being the car back from the dead. Week done Steve.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration anything Cadillac 😂 ask me how I know. I had to cut all the rot out of mine on the rear window. There’s videos I posted on my channel it’s nothing fancy and I’m not a tuber but enjoy watching you guys 🤩

You guys are the best I wish I had skills like you I got my jaguar 99 vanden plas up on the Ramps today checking it out and it is gone the frame rails that comes down the firewall, bulkhead have severe rot in them it's the car I was telling you about that I'm going to construct a full perimeter chassis just not sure how I'm going to do it but pretty sure I will have to connect it on each side were the subframe connects to each side were the subframe bolts to the frame rails I can't believe that it's just held on by two bolts in the rear
Please wear safety goggles and ear defenders.Many times i have been to A and E. and had pieces of metal taken out.And you will go deaf without ear defenders..Just my piece of advice.40 Years of restoring classic cars.
Absolutely. I went to A&E as a 16 year old lad, to have a tiny metal fragment removed from one eye. Not only was it painful as shite, some years later it very nearly cost me my career in aviation before it even started. The scarring in said eye meant I was literally only able to scrape by the threshold to get my medical certification. Caution does pay !

Cover your glass up as sparks can stick to it and then rust. Been there .
If they are good, cover them. Or remove. The sparks will burn into the glass. Grts from belgium.
Thank you for the advice :)
Yes I noticed, and have also been there many years ago. I Ruined the windscreen on an very early BMW 520

You guys are the best I wish I had skills like you I got my jaguar 99 vanden plas up on the Ramps today checking it out and it is gone the frame rails that comes down the firewall, bulkhead have severe rot in them it's the car I was telling you about that I'm going to construct a full perimeter chassis just not sure how I'm going to do it but pretty sure I will have to connect it on each side were the subframe connects to each side were the subframe bolts to the frame rails I can't believe that it's just held on by two bolts in the rear
Just work through it slowly and break it down into small jobs and do one at a time David :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration excellent advice 👌 buddy thank you for your reply I was kind of thinking the same because it's so overwhelming
Please wear safety goggles and ear defenders.Many times i have been to A and E. and had pieces of metal taken out.And you will go deaf without ear defenders..Just my piece of advice.40 Years of restoring classic cars.
Absolutely. I went to A&E as a 16 year old lad, to have a tiny metal fragment removed from one eye. Not only was it painful as shite, some years later it very nearly cost me my career in aviation before it even started. The scarring in said eye meant I was literally only able to scrape by the threshold to get my medical certification. Caution does pay !
I’m already def 😁
OMG! Steve where do ya begin? I think that there's enough on the floor to make another one lol
Lmao it is a lot of work :)
