My thoughts exactly. Now it’s all one colour the quality of the rust repairs becomes way more obvious. Outstanding work!

Just for the record, please go watch episode 3 of this build on MAT'S channel. He mentioned towards the end that he wanted it powdercoating. I took that and made it happen without actually saying I was going to. So for the people petty name calling towards me, saying ive ruined his car, please dont bother. Also thanks for all the epic comments. It turned out very well!

They have more than doubled their subscriber count since starting this car, so it's working.

I can't imagine a small fender bender repair would be easy with the powder coating. Sounds great if it's a trailer queen show car. Daily driver, it seems impractical. Nice work to be sure.

I thought powder coat cracked if it was used on a chassis. Didn't people start to powder coat tubular chassis on sports / kit cars and it ended really badly and just cracked at All the joints

@thegrimreaper7777

My first thought was Nope! Most powder coating I've seen has flaked off once it gets chipped and lets rust form beneath the coating.

It looks amazing, BUT, how about powdercoat durability against flexing, would it not get cracked? To remove powdercoat to fix something after, is going to be an absolute hell for someone to fix.

@callyk5678

I was thinking that, also having to drill into it and not chipping chunks off. But I’ve no experience whatsoever with power coat and sure he knows what he’s doing

What an epic transformation/restoration Ryan. Hats off to you

I have only two words: Impeccable job.

Powdercoat shrinks back as it bakes and will show every little imperfection, if you are willing to powdercoat this, then you must do impeccable work!! Looking forward to seeing this one finished lads

Hi guys, what can I say….. beautiful car….. absolute amazing restoration…. There were moments when I didn’t think you could do it and moments when you ask why ! What craftsmanship 🔨⚒️🎉💥👍🫵🏻

WOW WOW WOWser what an absolutely stunning finish, it doesn't get any better than this from top guys on their A-game, and I'm sure Mat will pick up the baton and make it the envy of the BMW fraternity. I've loved every minute of the series and can't get enough, so am happy you have loads of other projects on the go.

Going back to the shell and bringing back these cars in my mind is a massive service to automotive heritage. They should be kept on the road and enjoyed and protecting them this way is the best way to ensure their longevity. Not to mention they just look sublime

Ryan your sense of satisfaction seeing all this come together must be a good feeling. And shoring your great work to the world just an added bonus. Well done - it’s been a pleasure to see the journey and a real eye opener to see the hard work, talent and dedication that goes into the jobs you take on at YCR. Hope business goes up n up. Here’s to an even better 2024. Cheers.

Just beautiful work Ryan. Really well done 👏🏼 I can't wait to see Mat put this all back together 😎

Not a fan of powder coating in terms of long term corrosion resistance, especially on car undersides. One stone chip and moisture creeps underneath the powder coated skin.

@tramptruck4859

I agree, but kudos for trying something different.

@DanniV8

6 ай бұрын

To be fair it's not really that different with paint, except the stone has an easier time of chipping the paint. The only real drawback I can image with powder coat is if you need to do any more work what-so-ever on the body it's going to a pain in the ass to prep and then somehow match the coat that's already on there.

If anything powder coat is more durable than paint I would have thought..

The powdercoat looks good, but i have been doing such work in the past, its a big risk on a sheetmetal carbody, moisture can creep up under the paint and make it rust and rot more so then a traditional paintjob, seen such corrosion on trailer chassies. It could use some additonal rust protection inside where one cant see or reach. Awsome fab and metal work though.

What a job you done ! That chassie is as good if not even better then when it came out the factory. Really impresive 👍

This is actually insane. The car genuinely looks just as good, if not better than it came off the assembly line. Incredible job

Not sure about powder coating a shell. Is this the best for longevity? It looks good but will it last?

"back in the day" - sound like an old person - we used to get in plastic coated bike frames that were generally horrible and the only way to remove said rubbish was blast/mechanical scraping/blast /mech/blast/mech etc etc until clean, it wasn't fun but on a bike frame, just about doable, on a car, nope, in the bin. Is modern powder coated different ?

What a absolutely beautiful job finishing the rusty shell you started off with. Congratulations fellas, as long as Mat doesn’t want to put his crazy wrap over it!

Beautiful work Ryan, great job.

Super super tidy result. Super clean. Super!

Amaaaaazing work! Wow! This is going to be my favourite Mat car restore watch this one. What a platform to start from. Yorkshire👍🏾. If I could give my own E39 such care. Keep old Bimmers rolling👊🏾

Been watching most of the other cars that you do as well and it's just amazing on the amount of work you do so incredible and the craftmanship outstanding like factory but better !! Love all the work you do seriously amazing !!

You are right, it's a new car. Amazing job guys..

Awesome can’t wait to see Matt get his hands on it

Wow.. Your guys are mad genius😳👍👍👍.. Golden hand in metal work n painting

Amazeballs. Epic amount of work to get here!

These guy really aren’t messing about! Looks fantastic.

I told you guys this channel will make success Congratulations 100k I follow this BMW every step I like your job Thanks you share us this knowledge

Unbelievably such a fantastic job and hours of hard graft,it looks stunning.A faultless classic restored to better than factory spec

I am absolutely amazed what you've managed to do with that massive pile of rust. Honestly, i'm properly amazed.. Top work!

Phenomenal work guys! Great vids, addictive as hell!

Golden hands Ryan 🙌🏻 Never seen this level of metal work finish and I think I will struggle to find anything like it anytime soon.

I cannot believe that all these videos you have completed on Mat's car and he has never once interacted on your work .... amazing results Ryan, your craftsmanship does not show anywhere on the final powdercoat, which is a testament to your amazing skill.

Ridiculously impressive.

Looks wicked! Will be a superb finish

Wow so much work for this car. I had one 635csi and I loved it ❤

Looking so good.. and hats off to you guys..

Why did you leave the chase rail on the left under side of the car with dents on it and not pull them out before doing this?

OMG what a job 👏😎 Well done Guys 👏👏👏

Super Super Super Fantastic work. Ryan your excitement really shows 👍😁

I feel for the powder coated, I’ve done that job and hated big chassis’s because they just cool too fast and you never see the results you really want to, it’s a good job and will do just fine, but not to your personal standard expectations. It did come out the oven looking good though so well done 👍

Beautifully done.

Great work so far!

Amazing job Matt will be over the moon ❤❤

Looking very sharp!

Fantastic job

Looks bloody Awesome 😊

Awesome, never seen a full car go into powdercoat 👌

Well done car is looking fantastic 👍

An idea to Mat, when this project will be revealed, is to do a huge public reveal and it should be done, first on your channel and then a week later on Mat's channel. He's still gonna get the views on his video even if the reveal is done here on Yorkshire Car Restoration. George Julius, Cape town, South Africa.

Ohh what a work you have been done her :) Merry christmas from Norway.

Been here since 5k subscribers, keep up the good work!

Looks amazing 👍

BMW must be looking at this and thinking "What the...!" Fantastic work boys.

Amazing Job guys ...James is a Master at work...congratulations...also the rust repair is immaculate!

Looks brilliant lads well done

This has to be some of the best metal work in the world, absolutely fantastic! The before and after of this project is incredible.

I can’t be the only one who watched this with jaw on the floor with how well it’s turned out.

Mat should build that back up as a M6! it would be stunning.

Having just had my moped parts Powder coated (not the same scale l know),these guys do a fantastic job,fascinating to watch the process.exceptional results.highly recommended.excellent episode😊😊😊😊😊

So much effort has been put in and it shows. A job well done, such impressive work and passion.

Brilliant work. 👍👍👍👏👏🍺

Thanks for the video.

Great job guys ,, Used to do powder coating for a living ,, 👌

Great job congratulation❤❤❤

You git Ryan! Sitting here itching to see the finished product and you end the video! Looking great before the super super clear coat went on though. Great work BTW.

Stunning work. Must be a project now for MAs 1st channel? Can see this in a CSL type look with a modern interior and engine

This project is going to be sick AF 😍 well done lads on turning this thing from rust to riches 😅

That is going to be the cleanest ride Matt will have!! Amazing job!!

Enjoyed the process, it was almost worth seeing the same BOTB advert 8 times in a 24 minute video.

Absolutely stunning! I can't begin to imagine what a job like this would cost. Matt will be blown away!
