Does anyone else find this so calming to watch after a stressful day?
We do try to create easy to watch videos :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration well you definitely do that they are perfect relaxing music that’s soothing not annoying no talking your work speaks for itself 😉👍🏻
@@Braveheart7914-idflAgree, I like the music too, very soothing !
Definitely
Remarkable shaping of that partial floor plate.
Steve this is a work of art that is a awesome jacking point for the car stronger than new.. I wasn't able to watch this yesterday I found out my brother was in the hospital and not doing well he has heart failure and covid and pneumonia but is doing better today slowly improving he always was in good condition better than me I don't understand it, he lives 16 hours away from me in another state so I'm not able to drive that far with my leg problems but so glad he is doing better his name is Steve also . Take care and God bless you all tell Ryan I said hello 👋 and everyone there to that ol Davie from the US says hello 👋.
That magic metal rule you’ve got…by the time I would have walked over to the bench I’d have already forgotten it !!
I forget what Iv gone to the tool box for :)
@@yorkshirecarrestorationSeriously, do you memorise the 3D shape while you’re forming it? It looks like the metalwork equivalent of the cabbies “knowledge”.
You must love your job. You get to come in knowing what you want to get done for the day, remove the rust until you have clean metal, craft and fettle a part until it fits, weld it in, paint it and then go home with the satisfaction of a job well done.
Few of us have that satisfaction in the work that we do.
I do love my job :)
Good to see where art meets metalwork! Amazing fab skills, great soundtrack too, thanks for producing a very enjoyable video
So relaxing to watch.
Thank you glad you enjoyed it :)
Yep somehow calming and reassuring. In a digital world where labour is not appreciated and often maligned the origami of metal is a pleasure to see demonstrated with skill and craftsmanship
Another wizard at work from YCR.
Exceptional work Steve as always.
After watching many of your videos, you never cease to amaze. Not that it will ever happen, have you ever wondered if auto builders watch the repairs you do, to help them figure out how to better build cars to help prevent them from rusting out? They actually never will, but I think of how over time they now make exhaust systems out of stainless and thereby last a much longer life.
The Paul Daniels of car restoration. Brilliant construction and slight of hand.
Haha thank you :)
Doing a nissan maxima for a dealer this week - sweet Lord.. there's rusty & then there's maxima rusty. Absolute sod to work on & we only have a week to get it done. Best part is another place did a lot of the "cutting out" of the rust then chucked the towel in as it proved a beast to weld on. So we got it chopped full of socking big holes.... oh great...
Tight work on that floor Steve - very nice.
Ah always hard to follows someone's half done work James :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration "points of reference" are in someone elses bin - we just have thin air - I left my spare maxima to measure off in the nissan dealers.. :-) So we get to be like Barney & use our imagination/fit/refit bumpers blah blah.. ... which takes twice as long..
@@jamesward5721 yep fresh air references points deffo make for a longer restoration specially if it's two or three layers haha
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Nissan - everything is 3 layers. :-) Upside, I splurged on a posh new welder that allegedly arrives tomorrow - the excitement is palpable Steve - you know yourself, if you weld all day, a new welder is like Christmas. This one supposedly has 3 bells & eight whistles.. we'll see. :-) Might take some of the absolute monotony out of sorting this ball of dung nissan. :-) If it turns out to be a crap welder, then possibly not.. but the reviews are solid.. unless they're all fake/left by eejits.. Other "Upside" is when everyone else has abandoned the "project", the price becomes very flexible. :-) :-)
@@jamesward5721 your not wrong, getting new tools is always good :)
Guy’s, this is not a jacking point on the e24, its not a load bearing point, thats why your repairing it. The jacking points are the sills, one a bit further back from your repair and the other one near the rear arch. The inner front frame rails are also not load bearing as you can see from the dents in them. 👍🏻
Thabk you for your input.
All i can say is "Worms and Can" opened big time lol. Great work
Your content is a blessing
Thank you :)
superb fabrication as always
Thank you Steve :)
You know as jealous as I am of all your cars the Escalade V I think I'm most jealous of. That thing is so cool.
Welding machine looks to work flawlessly. Just add decades of skill 😊
Thanks for the channel guys. Great to see it growing subs well. A testament to the quality of the channels and the characters in it. 🙂
Thank you John :)
I can't find words to express how your skills are impressing.
Best regards
Thank you for the kind words. They are much appreciated :)
Superb as always Steve ,
Thank you Colin :)
There is such skill required in good sheetmetal work. Excellent work guys!
Thank you :) 👍
Love those dot magnets. Simple, effective. Beats sticky tape!
A man of his word! Thanks for sharing the welding settings! Very similar to how mines set up, good to know... Excellent work again Sir Steve!!
The other marks are where I turn it down to for thinner steel. I only really use two settings :)
@@yorkshirecarrestorationWhen you know really your onions, you only need two onions!
Meditation whilst travelling home from work
Haha thank you :)
Awesome work, great watch to unwind to.
Thank you :)
Great work lads, no wonder this sort of skilled work comes at such a price, love it.
Thank you for the support :)
Steve is too Cool for School 🤓👏🇬🇧
Top quality repair as usual Steve 👏 👌 👍
Thank you :) after all the hard work it's nice to get encouraging comments. :)
Loving the work I thought I was a decent fabricator nothing compared to you guys. But I think I am funnier 😂
Video molto interessante e piacevole da vedere!!! Quando l'artigiano è in gamba, può far rivivere una macchina vintage, che a mio giudizio quella del video è una fra le migliori al mondo!!!
Great Work as always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you 👍
A work of art Steve keep up the great work 👍👍
Very professional, amazing job!
Meanwhile while Steve was doing jedi like fabrication, Ryan is down in the corner blubbering whilst sweeping up more of the disaster datsun and rocco is pissing himself laughing at him 😂😂😂😂
Thibk even rocco is in disbelief of how much filler the datsun has :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration I reckon before you guys started on that thing, a magnet wouldn't have stuck to it anywhere! Regards from Ireland as always lads.
Just discovered this great channel! I have a question: when a large patches goes over a surface, on the hidden parts close one over the other, can rust grow up?
Not if they are protected as we do after the job is done.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Ok thank you👍
Thank you Steve
It's our pleasure :)
Luv ure work brother ,big props!👊👌🦾🦾🦾
Thank you we appreciate the kind words :)
I watch you guys weld. I'd love to weld. Wouldn't know where to start. As in what type of welder to buy etc
Great job!😎👍
Brilliant channel really enjoy your work
Thank you :)
Any idea how long it will take before the bodywork is finished?
This car will be finished in the next video. We are only doing the metalwork on this car as the owner has his own painter.
More amazing work this will be one solid bm when finished 🏴👍🏻
Thank you David :)
Steve, was the car originally galvanised or otherwise coated in the factory? Cars of the 70s rusted while you watched. Nowadays they die of old age often with few flaws in the monocoque. I guess they could have made then all last much longer but that would do nothing for new car sales!
Is therm a reason Steve's sharpie always works but Ryan's looks like its been sabotaged ?
Very therapeutic
Good work lads , any advice on a mig welder for around 500-600 £ will be doing thin body work!
Edit-
2 mins later seen what welder you was using!!!
Please wear hearing protection
I forget to a lot but then I'm half deaf anyway :)
Great work. Any chance on fixing my lass rusty starfish.
Just use some neatralizer :)
@yorkshirecarrestoration might get it sandblasted . Brilliant content guy's much respect from Lake District 👏
Boa tarde meu amigo parabéns serviço de qualidade muito bom parabéns
Thank you for your support :)
So cool paps you have your work cut out 😅
Hole puncher is a revelation. Looks low effort and less distortion than drilling.
So much better than the other guy, who just wants to twat around, hes about as funny as a migraine!
Which one of these is in the worst shape, the red E24 or Matt's E24?
I’d say matts car
Mats BMW for sure but that isn't as bad as the datsun Ryan is doing :)
@@yorkshirecarrestorationNothing looks as downright dispiriting as the Disaster Datsun! Luckily, Ryan is blessed with ample Yorkshire grit. My family is from Yorkshire (Yeadon).
@@yorkshirecarrestoration If that Datsun had been dipped or blasted at the start, I'd guess you'd both have sent it straight to the scrap yard.
But it's real value will materialise in subscribers and showcasing your full talents to future clients.
27 Min felt like 3
Ah thank you we appreciate the support :)
How come he welds without a helmet? Or eye protection?
These vintage Ferraris man
We would love to do a vintage ferrari for the channel :)
I think i've had a hard day f"cksake mine was easy lol . Yep so relaxing to watch .
My welder is on its way to me.
I bet this damage was caused unknowingly by a previous owner who was teaching his teenager to drive and he deformed the metal by smashing down on the floorboard in multiple states of panic, in hopes it would somehow stop or slow the car down. I know the floor pan in my past hyundai didn't fare too well after teaching two girls how to drive . LOL
Haha
Всё отлично! Но только чистить надо песком, а так вы уменьшаете толщину металла!!!
Sandpaper won't take enough rust off. But thank you for your input.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Not sandpaper, but a sandblaster!!!! With the disk you remove a large layer of metal, thereby making the metal thinner!!!))
It’s not good to hit a defenseless sheet like that
But it's fun Leo :)
That ramp was up and down like a whore's draws. Great job Steve.
My grandson keeps showing me jaberwocky on his gaming computer, I show him this, and tell him, that this is real craftsmanship and a rare skill , whereas pressing buttons on a computer could be done by an idiot ( he is not sure whether I am taking the piss ) keep up the good work
Steve, I think you need to do your content more like Josh, have some interaction with your audience explaining what's the issues are and what your going to do and carry out, yeah okay we all know what your doing, but some stop and chat would be nice, rather than just a lot of time lapsing etc.....
Your workmanship is outstanding just would like to hear you chat, it would just break up the monotony of the video, also loose the intro , one seen is enough...😢
