thanks for the videos! saying a vpn makes you safe is as accurate as saying a car is rust free! safeR yes but not safe it is possible to circumvent the securities of a vpn. please do not take my assertion as fact find out the truth for yourself.

Gents, don't engage with users complaining about ads in your comments. There will always be a small set of viewers who flounce off over ads, many more recognise the need to balance content production with running a business. Keep up the authenticity, depth of content and presentation.

@@darrenparker7318in general i agree with you...what right have any of us to complain about how providers pay for our free content? having said that any vpn cannot ensure "safety" and most of the free to play games sponsoring have the ethics which allow usage of government funded study into addiction and gambling to design there "specials or perks or whatever hook there is to get money" . while complaining about sponsorship is crass care should be given in accepting them .
It's funny how many people watching KZread for free get so upset with channels that are able to get sponsored like they actually think the labor, material and everything is free for the creators??? Please these people have families, bills and much much more than what we ever see or know. Congratulations on all the success.

I don't work for the company, and don't know for certain but as I do understand as I've followed the channel they have paying customers the uncle and so forth do and the father and son do the KZread side. I would assume the channels income pays for the KZread rebuilds would be what the in channel ads are very important. They aren't putting it into the content to make anyone mad or discouraged people from viewing its to keep making content for us viewers that watch freely.

@T3glider You couldn't be more wrong your trollism should have been directed to someone else less intelligent. But this is the comment section and I love a healthy debate even if it gets heated. Tell me do you know where the wire should be for the perfect weld and at what angle is desired for the right amount of root penatration should it be blue and flakey? What are the SOP's for any Op to make a Mercedes Benz FAC or anything to do with what degree is a perfect bend for a body panel or the curvature of any body panel? What is the correct way to weld with copper in a government facility? Your answer without looking for an answer from degenerative tiktok or Google is waiting.
Dont listen to the haters, real fans of the channel are happy to see you get a sponsorship! You deserve itn
Never imagined a car this bad could have been restored to such a perfect state... what an incredible workmanship... I am stunned.. keep up the good work
Congrats on getting sponsors!! 🎉 I’m so glad they’re coming through - doing KZread full time isn’t easy and definitely requires some financial backing! So glad to see this and looking forward to all of the future builds too!

I've been waiting a while to see this Mat Armstrong's car done. The amount of work you have put into this car is outstanding. the fabrication skills you show are top class. It's really enjoyable to see someone wanting to do a job correctly, and yo do that in spades .....
The quality of this workmanship is absolutely outstanding.
What a journey this cars been on it’s been one of the best refurbished video on metal fabrication, and the journeys many stages will continue.
Great job doing the promotion and excellent work on the fenders! Enjoy watching guys!
There is something majestic about watching your work, it’s so peaceful fabrication, I’m sure it has its difficulties but what is portrayed onto the camera is pure enjoyment! You are a very skilled expert at what you do, and I wish you all the best moving forwards on these amazing projects. I shall be following for a long time to come. Thank you for the entertainment!
Congratulations on getting the sponsors! Its a long haul and will help reward you for your awesome efforts putting up great content up. 😎
I am OK with welding in complete panels and even supplied repair panels but this is metalworking on another level. Just a pleasure to watch. I am itching to know who will do the car rebuild though?
I can't believe how far that car has come, well done
Okay I'll start with the fact I live in Australia, but I can't believe how much effort goes into keeping these older cars on the road, I've got a few cars, including a 635, I'm amazed at the amount of rust you guys have to remove, I've had a little rust cut out & repaired on some of my cars, but if I found this kind of damage I'd just junk the car & move on, congratulations on your work ethic & experience, I'm truly amazed at what you do, Rj in Oz
amazing job guys👏👏. Can't wait to watch Mat complete the restoration.
Nice to see some more E24 vids. Coming along well 👍

Total recreation in metal. What a wonderful thing to watch and marvel at. YCR and Retropower cars are a pair of what are clearly some of Britain’s very best restorers. Absolute poetry in skill.

Great to see craftsmen at work.
Great progress Ryan. Glad to see you getting some sponsorship. As far as i can see it means we'll see more of you. 👍
Great work as always. Every time you’re using the angel grinder I freeze up, as you removed the cutting guard. It’s called the Death Wheel for a reason. Please be careful!
As ever Ryan, outstanding work. Open heart surgery for cars. 😊 Great to see you back, and thanks for sharing your brilliant skills with us. Great news about getting sponsorship - let it grow! 👍 👏 😀
Workmanship is top class 👌🏽
Cracking job fella 👍👍👍
Well done guys it looks fecking brilliant
This channel is flying. Hopefully its only the beginning, best of luck to ya 🙏
Impressive job, as always 👍🏻
You and your dad are sooooooo good at this 👍.well probably the family. Superb.👏
you should make permanent templates, with all bmws you do good job
What a great series!
Amazing metal work
Yer dad looks like he is ready for a pint ! Cracking workmanship, bettter than new
You keep me amazed how you recreate a panel that is only slightly curved and make it fit. It is flexible so it wants to go back to a plane, flat piece of metal, and yet you somehow persuade it in the shape BMW's designers wanted it. Makes me think: how did the fabricators in the prototype phase at BMW (or any other car manufacturer) this, without a reference other than the drawings of the designers? Thans again!
Top work Ryan I love that black e30 m3 u got
Hey Ryan, I really like your style of videos! I would like to see some tutorial kind of videos. Where you explain in detail, step by step how you do repair patches for example. I do some rust repairs on my own BMW's what I learned myself to do. I am really interested in your pro tips etc! 😁
Thanks for the video.

Incredible work on this car hopefully get a full cost breakdown as this must have cost a fortune in mannhours alone
Amazing job on tbis car. The fabrication is a real art. Out of curiosity, how many hours has this taken?
When are you doing the mk1 golf ...love your videos .
Hello 👋 good buddy Ryan captain yorkshire I missed you my friend its been a week today good to see you buddy excellent work 👍 Ryan extremely good job i should say, guess you all have been powerful busy
Mat might be bringing his roller to you to straighten out 🤣🤣🤣.
Grinding and welding with car body in the background is a good way to get adhesion stuck into the finish???????
Super cool
I am still so impressed by the powder coating. Amazing project from sheet metal to paint.

& not a single 'new' panel was added, all fabricated, my question (this maybe has been answered in another comment, somewhere in the playlist) how many hours labour did it take to complete the full rust removal/repair? And you must have the patience of a saint, nice work.
My god could you imagine the bill for the restoration on that 😂 it was rot on rot with rot on the side 🤣 I've inner and out seals ect but that's something else
