I appreciate the extra narration and voice over. Makes it easier to understand the process. Also the 2 of you must never sleep. I’ve never seen so much work and editing and uploading 🤯🤘

A joy to watch. Utterly relaxing. As an ex rally Co driver it's also great to see one of these MK1s being brought back to life.

Yer a worthy car to restore :)

Love to see those videos that prove that willing is enough to make (almost) anything possible.

Kudos Steve. The lucky owner of that car must be buzzing.

You sir are a metal working God. The absolute attention to every detail sets you and the rest at YCR apart from the rest watching these eating my brekkie sets me up for the day. Can't wait to see the next one all the best G

Great job Steve. Nice to see you going the extra bit to get rid of the rust.

There's some wall of wires to go back into that area, Steve - biggest headache on these is the loom. Lads whip them out so they can repair the area, then when they go to re-fit the loom, it's a head-melt. :-) I make my own panel that works in around the loom without removing & welds to everywhere possible (without the absolute ball-ache nightmare of pulling the loom). I've gotten to be a dab-hand at cutting out the bulkhead panel with the loom in-situ & fitting the repair panel without toasting the wires. Working on a customers Mazda Bongo this week & last - man do they love to rot. I've rebuilt the entire front end pretty much from scratch and have the sills to do tomorrow - I thought Fords liked to rust. Mazda give them a good run for their money, as you know from the MX 5's/Miatas.

Spot-on as usual, and gets an important point across. Typical question from beginners is always "I wanna start repairing rust, what tools do I get to start with?" And this video shows just that: A good MiG welder, a SOLID vice, sheet metal break, sheet metal hammer & various dolly's, and a anvil (railroad track cut-off works great). English wheels & Bead rollers are strictly optional, for when you make large panels, not needed for these typical smaller repairs before putting on reproduction panels.

Hi Steve. You show us that it is not because the panels remanufactured are of good quality that there is nothing to do. Thanks for the priceless lessons you give us in each video.

A big step forward and a great job mate.

I guess the part where you did a cross check (upper corner left to down corner right and the same for the other side) to make sure you have a straight square was left out of this video. The horror of having a non square front and trying to align the gaps from the bonnet to the wings comes to mind.

@yorkshirecarrestoration

Yes we did, as explained in the video we have checked all measurements and Luckily we have a bonnet and it has been test fitted and it's good :)

Thanks for the commentary through the task at hand

+ add the various strengtheners to make it an r.s. inner wing . Not just the strut top , as 99% of people think it only is

Steve you are a true craftsman.i salute you 👏

It is good inspiration to watch such great work, and learning a thing or two. It looked like the panel was fairly good fitment, besides the holes not fully aligning

Looking great Steve!

Mind boggling that you don’t need to use CAD (cardboard aided design) your own Internal CPU can see a rusty remnant of a panel and 3Ds a new piece to fit

Hi steve just wondering what gauge sheet metal you are using plse m8 as im working on project thanks.

And welding that channel in sorts out the bit of rust under the windscreen panel at the same time? Or did I misunderstand where it goes?

The rot is cut out and the new sections butt welded in. Done properly, it is usually preferred to save as much of the original car as possible, especially where original panels are no longer available. If there were a new overlay, then yes rust would be promoted in comparison to original, but that isn't the case here. As for not measuring, the old and new are repeatedly seen to be compared during the fabrication of the repair sections and it was stated the inner wing measurements were checked off camera.
