Really like the commentary during the repair...more of that please.
no problem at all :)
Auch beim zweiten Mal Anschauen ein Vergnügen. Danke Steve!
A pleasure to watch even the second time. Thanks Steve!
Wow I’ve just discovered this channel, glad I’m not the only Yorkshireman hell bent on saving rotten stuff.
Great work chaps.
rust seems to attract towards us haha
Just awesome work! Love how you don’t make to much work for yourself! 👍
yes we try to do it the easy way :)
Daaaang! Tell Ebenezer to toss another lump of coal on the fire! Looks cold in that shop!
:D
humbug, that coal costs money :)
You guys are f_ckin great at that metal fab . . . It's so good to watch
thank you very much :)
Hi Steve, nice to see one of my favourite cars... just after the 260Z, of course.
thank you Leo the older rotarys are my favourite :)
Superb craftsmanship .As good as I’ve seen !
thank you david :)
What got me to watch this video was tge Mazda RX 4 great work rust repairs in the UK how common us that
thank you it is a beautiful car :)
Hiya Steve and all @YCR great video as always awesome New workshop brilliant content and skills well done guys love the channel and keep up the great work ♥️👍
thank you Dean , its suport from our viewers like yourself that keeps us doing this :)
one simple methode to get rid of the gap when cutting 2 sheets...just go in 45° and it fits perfect onto each other and u do not need to fill the gap all the time. In a lot of spaces u could have used this method
thank you for the tip, we have to leave a gap about the width of the cutting blade to take up panel expansion when we weld them together otherwise the panel would warp :)
So glad I found this channel
thank you hope you enjoy the videos :)
This is great work, well done
thank you :)
Always look forward to a new video.
Great work as always 👍👍
thank you as always :)
You are now my no1 fabricator guy to watch
Thank you Peter , its continued support from our viewers like you that keep us making videos :)
Outstanding as normal 👌
Thank you Claire :)
good job, and it fits like a glove ;-) thanks
Love the content! Still wish I had not sold my RX4…here in Calgary, Canada they are like a unicorn. I would love if you could do a first gen RX7…I still have my GSL-SE but she is more like the the 260zx than your RX4😢 I did spot a first gen next to the 260zx in your first video of it…future project….please!
The first gen you sore is a future restoration:)
Looking forward to it!😁
the work you lads do is awesome. Great skill and attention to detail. Someday ill get my own car to restore hahaha. Keep up the good work, great content
thank you Baza :)
Great video, thanks! =)
You are welcome!
Fantastic job !
thank you chris :0
Is that overspray on you hair Steve?
😉
Great video mate cheers.
👍
probably , or may just be me going grey :)
Any chance you could slow down the time lapse when you are forming the patches? I have some patching to do on a restoration I'm working on, and I would like to see how you actually form the pieces. Thanks for the videos!
No problem we will slow it down a little next time :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Thank you! Your channel is not just entertainment, it is educational as well. I'm learning that I might be able to make some panels rather than buying expensive ones that don't fit right anyway. 👍
Joanne, you can go to the "settings" symbol below the video and select playback speed and then you can slow the motion by up to 2x. The speech will be err slurred, but if you have the Subtitles/closed captions highlighted, that allows you to "read the speech as text. I often do this as the weld flash sometimes causes me issues (I had a partial stroke ),
Loved watching you at work and how good a condition the old girl really seems to be in; I was thinking when you opened her up along the sill, err, shock, horror! My only complaint is the terrible music sound track.. it wasn't at all pleasant to my ears. 🤓
thank you and yes music was loud :)
did i see you using flux core welding wire? any reason other than cost?
Nope no flux core. :)
Great to see you get cracking so quickly on the Rx-4 Steve....And that workshop!! Wow, such a great step forward!.. Keep up the great work! 👍👍
thank you, yes the workshop is nice to work in :)
WHAAAAAT a Mazda with wheelbolts, and not nuts??? thats a first for me. and a pro tip for u guys, those hard to loosn bolt, get a inductive heater, a powerfull one, not the small ones.... it works wonders
:)
@@richardgarbutt6804 try and use it in one of your vids. And explain what it is
You guys just make this look so easy. I have tried it. It is not.
its just practice :)
👍👊
thank you Tom :)
Buy a set of J.I.S screwdrivers
thank you i will investigate them haha
Not a Diss...but there is no benefit to grinding those welds inside the sill/rocker areas...or anywhere it will not be seen or needs to be ground or sanded .... best to leave them as is and not waste time dealing with them..treat them and cover with something and no one will know !! well except the ones watching this !! 😉
I agree, still a good job regardless
im a stickler for detail :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration
i have been fabricating and working on stuff for 50 + years.... lol... how does an unseen weld become detail?? Any weld removal weakens the weld.... not arguing but seriously? Stickler for " detail " !! 😝
anyways..you are welcome to do as you please... doing unnecessary work is pointless.... spend that time on what is seen or matters.... not everyone watching is inexperienced or can't do what you are doing... we comment to help anyone who is reading... and pass on our knowledge... regardless of whether it is used.. take care...lol
@@garymallard4699 haha we all have our own way, yours isnt the only correct way of doing things, you stick to leaving the welds on if that makes you happy, ill stick to cleaning them up as it makes me happy , but that said thank you for watching and for your comments haha :D
Great channel, but the music is far too loud , it like being in a nightclub !
thank you, yes sorry our mistake.
I wish you did not add the music to your videos , it annoying. I rather have no sound effects.
It was a little loude :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration Yes I rather have the sound of your grinder and compressor rather than that awful so called music. Other than that I greatly enjoy your videos , you are a master craftsman, it gives me inspiration and help with my Volvo 1971 model 142 rust repair.
You guys are truly inspirational, your work is second to none.
I'm a massive fan of early Mazdas .
RX-4 is my favorite.
thank you :) the old-school rotary's are also my favs, specially the early cosmo ;)
Great job again there Steve
We want MORE on this 70s survivor
Awesome repair, great skills.
Now........the music. Most of us would be old timers enjoying these wonderfull cars of yesteryear, is it possible to get your editor to put some gentler, flowing kind of music. It has been 23 minutes of boom, boom music on this one..!!
I know what you mean , I (steve) edit the wednesday videos myself as well as film , do the repair work and everything to make the videos, its hard to find music and when we do the volume some times changes when we upload them, we are still on a learning curve and trying to improve our videos as well as our skill and content, sometimes not everything works and on this occasion the sound volume somehow managed to evade me haha i will try harder next time :)
Very interesting. To someone like me with only very rudimentry knowlege of welding there are so many tips to learn here. Brilliant!
thank you, glad we could help :)
My OCD is kicking in. With those rusty bits removed I would be flooding the rest of that good sill with fish oil or some other rust preventative while I had the chance. But that's just me. Brilliant job yet again.
thank you , all cavities will get wax oiled :)
Great work Steve!!!! Love the new fab area where you have table setup in the new shop with metal break and metal sheer!!! Cheers to you guys!! Tell Ryan DustyMac said hello!!
Elo mate , yes its a nice setup and we are just getting used to it :) , ill tell Ryan :)
Enjoyable as always. Great to see the new workshop in use.
Glad you enjoyed it
Please please turn down the volume of the stupid. Otherwise an intersting watch.
Thank you :)
Music is way too loud compared to talking
Hi Malcom yes it’s been pointed out. It was a mistake on my behalf :)
Steve what’s the paint your using inside the sills? At first I thought it was seam sealer but I’m sure that would probably catch fire!
Have you seen a chaps Chanel (street bandito ) he’s got one awesome Datsun in carbon if you ever got time to watch lol busy busy. Great job as always.
When you get to the interesting bit of making new sections the video is speeded up, thats the bit us budding bodyworkers want to see.
We will try slow it down some :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration thanks..
Great work. You're good at explaining so I suggest you drop the music, use original workshop noise/sound and speak during fabrication.
Good job. But frame have rust and holes 😉about leaf spring
Haha we know as pointed out in the previous video. We will be tackling that another day :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration ok i will be watching. I'm rebuilding my Ford Granada estate mk2.
The 2 video's on this car have been very interesting. I hope there will be some more?
There will when I get time as this is my own car and we only work on them in our spare time. I don't have any spare time these days haha
Great. A rare car now. I don't know when I last saw one.
Cracking work again.
thank you Les :)
Had one over 25 years ago same colour and I’m at the same area……who knows 😊
Good👍🏼
Thank you :)
Anything else happening with this?
Great to see you fully functional in the new place Steve. Nice job buddy.
Thank you Steven :)
Amazing to see how easy you make forming the sheet metal look. I’ve tried and it’s not that easy 😂. Keep up the good work!
thank you it comes with a little practice, just keep at it :)
Really need to lose the muzak.
The algorithm brought me here and I'm glad. Your skills are impressive and as a FD RX-7 owner, I really enjoy the cars you're working on.
thank you, glad your enjoying the videos, we are trying to improve them :)
it that was a australian car that bit would be full of bog . i nearly chocked on my cuppa when you put the "one cup of tea later" graphic up 😂as always steve, your level of skill leaves me amazed
Thank you Karen :) i am partial to a nice cuppa :)
Any more updates on the 4
Nice work as always! Glad to see you hit and past 10K subs! Almost to 12k subs. Keep crakin on!
thank you Jimmy :)
Ye make it look easy, It's awrite ah know it isnae. Keep up the good work. New place looks good. Next thing ye will be doin is HGV if ye ur not doin it already. Later
dont think we have the space for HGV as id end up with lots of them haha
So much room in the new workshop! No more long and tortuous walks back and forward to the bench!
it is a big place though so still getting in the steps :D
Great work for what’s probably a dying art now days!
it is hence why im teaching my son Ryan :)
Great work as always Steve keep up the good work 👍
Thank you Lee :)
Great work, but the music made me leave after 8 minutes
our mistake , thank you :)
Nice job, but i think the surface rust under that new welded panels should be cleaned to bare metal and then cover in the primer :/
Thank you for your input.
@@yorkshirecarrestoration all good! im just restoring my rs13 200sx nissan and i try to clean out all the rust possible that i see
unbelievable how easy you make it look...👏
thank you Curt
That was a remarkably good condition inside that sill - much better than my 120Y was thirty years ago. Is this the classic 'one lady owner, only drove it to church on Sundays, and that only if the sun was shining'? Or did Mazda just have better steel than Datsun?
It's been off the road and probably in dry storage for almost 40 years, first registered in 1973 and tax ran out in 1983.
mazda did use better steel as the datsuns rust a lot
Definitely an art. I'll have to learn that soon to fix up my 87 charger floors.
thank you , just work through it slowly :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration man if you were in Oklahoma id hire ya most definitely. Definitely some dedication there.
Such masterful work mate 😎
Thanks a lot!
Highly skilled work there!!!❤
thank you Patrick :)
Great stuff.
It's not as bad as the Datsun is it? Both great looking cars
It's nowhere near as bad I'd say. It's only been on the road for ten years though, last taxed Nov. 1982.
yep not as bad as the datsun, we dont want one as bad as the datusn,........... untill the datsuns finished :)
This work is a peace of art!!!
Thank you :)
Fantastic Steve 👍🏻
Thabk you stevie :)
Nice 👍🏻
Thanks ✌️
Great vid ! Loving the new workshop !
Great to someone with your talent our side of the pond giving others knowledge and confidence to undertake similar work 👍
thank you Andrew :)
Excellent content and music, loving it.
thank you :)
Mazda rx4 Coupe was a very nice car back in the day and still look good today
Couldn't agree more!
Super job.....well explained.....👌👌👍👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Beautiful work, well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great stuff, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the channel guys, great work, I myself own a S2 Mazda RX2 and I'm currently fitting a 13B engine to a '79 Datsun 620 pickup...Please kill the bg music or turn it down low 🙏...keep up the top work
interesting build with the datsun pickup
thank you, love the RX2's also nice datsun project :)
@@amxen1 trying to make it look like it came with it when I'm done 👌🙏
@@yorkshirecarrestoration making it look like a "what if" Nissan had gone through with their rotary development 🤘
Scarey thought lifting that Mazda on the sills. What's going to happen to the mazda. Is it a daily driver. Are you going to repaint it. Its it a customers. Good work. The mig welder changed the game..I remember stripping out the interiors and sitting inside with a wet rag when gas welding was the game. Nasty stinking underseal setting on fire. Lol.
yes much easier with mig :)
