This is far more entertaining than the vast majority of TV. This needs to go to the top along with the skills you have it is so professional.
watching you guys make me wish i never scrapped my mk1 13 sport
I had two Mk1 1300 Sports during the 70's, one in Daytona Yellow and a later one in Diamond white. I wished I had kept my Daytona one, but I had a company car so it had to go. Both cars disappeared off the radar when unleaded petrol was introduced.
Sold my 1974 MK1 1100 in orange for £5 in 1981. What was I thinking?
Said it b4 and I'll say it again,its an absolute pleasure watching a skilled craftsman work.
If I'm not doing my project in my spare time , I am watching you do yours . Top stuff Steve.
Came across this by accident. You are a true artist sir 🙂
Thank you very much :)
Nice to see someone with real skills do a proper job.
Incredible fabrication and welding skills
He is absolutely brilliant at his job, he is next level Him.
This is the first video that I have watched of this man, a friend recommended his channel to me earlier on yesterday, I am gonna work my way through the rest of his videos, and I have 💯 enjoyed watching this one, thank you.
best fabrication content on CZcams!
It's so fun to watch your channel. Because most car repair channels in America swear too much. It's refreshing to watch proper gentleman. I learn something every time I watch. Y.C.R. rules! Thank you to Matt Armstrong for introducing us to Y.C.R. 👍
Great to see this guy so relaxed with using his great skills. Makes me wish that I had learnt them too.
Amazing skill and fabrication as always mate
Always amazing and interesting work. I have learned a lot watch you guys, I think metal replacement beats Bondo and fiberglass patches everyday of the week Thumbs Up!
❤❤❤❤❤just another day at Yorkshire car restorations
Much enjoyed that episode, Steve! Lined up that chassis leg nicely after almost invisible repairs.
Poor old car, the underside looks like a walnut crossed with a tetley tea bag. Look forward to seeing how this one turns out, these old escorts are one of my favourite fords!
Love hearing your voice again Steve!! And yes for those who don't know when metal gets hot it expands when it cools it contracts so if you were to weld it all at once it will make it look like waves instead you spot weld in random areas letting the pools cool makes the metal less warped in the end.
Really enjoyed the work you did very relaxing before I close my eyes to sleep, keep up the good work
Best video yet so much better Steve when you explain all the processes 👍👍
Amazing skill-set never ceases to impress always look forward to watching these uploads
Great video as always Steve. I thought that was a very nice and heartfelt shout out for Colin, well done to you and he will appreciate it!!!! Your pieces to camera are great and explain things very well. I see you being in the Oscars for the leading man you play!! The lighting seems much better than previous. Have you installed new lighting?
Another masterclass in panel beating. Love it all Steve ❤. Keep up the great work, Joe
Great work as always! Struggling to decide if I am entertained by your videos or angered as you make it look easy 😂
I have learnt alot either way!
We mortals humbly offer our respects to the Gods of Tin bashing your skill levels are simply as old Tina would have said “ Simply the best, better than all the rest!”.
Legend
Class workmanship ❤ brilliant 👏
Loving the explaining as you go, really made it far more interesting to follow and understand the process for why you're doing what and when etc. Love the channel too and can't wait to all your many projects being completed.
Awesome 👏 thank you for sharing your work. Great to watch another tradesman at work without looking over their shoulder. Lol
One of the most interesting jobs I've seen so far in the channel. It helped demystify a bit those critical operations. thanks for sharing.
Masterclass in sheet metal fabrication. Bloody marvellous 👏🙏🇦🇺
Looking forward to this Steve hope you and the lads are well 🏴👍🏻👏👏👏
Great to see a skilled craftsman at work. The car will be better when you have finished with than when it was new.
Now this is my favorite kind of videos seeing how the car is made structurally and watching you explain how and why you do certain things and a huge thanks about using the air tool to cool down the metal. I just can't say enough good things about this channel you my dear friends Steve and Ryan you guys are the best ❤️ there's so much thought and work that goes into working on cars doing what you are doing you have to be geniuses..I've saw other people on different channels show how they do patchwork on fixing floor pans and putting little patches on frame rails but never really fixing them like they should and I have saw you guys make frame rails that looks like they came out of the assembly line when new. I've never saw people do such top quality work as you and Ryan.. I have to admit when I saw Ryan make the frame rail for Matt Armstrong BMW I fell in love with the frame rail I still believe it belongs in a museum I wish 🤞 I had it just to set on the shelf to look at..I sure wish 🤞 someday I could travel over there and meet you guys. You all are the best you feel like family to me tbh..take care buddies and I hope you have a wonderful blessed rest of the week I have to go to my aunts viewing Friday and Saturday the funeral she is the aunt that gave me the jaguar car I have been talking about..
Oops bent the wrong way nobody's perfect but the finished product is brilliant master at work
Great vid yet again, looking forward to the escort finished 👍
Bloody marvellous as per usual guys!
Great work as always Steve. I was in Yorkshire over the past weekend in Pickering meeting up with a few friends. Maybe next time, I can call in and say hello. Huge fan of the show.
It’s amazing what 70s manufacturers managed to make with Bacofoil.
Agan fantastic job! I can’t wait to see this beauty when it’s ready. I really like your very detailed videos. Watch and learn. Kerp it up guys.
Love watching your video's mate. I can't stop watching them. I'm a fabby welder by trade and you inspire me to do what you do. You are very talented.
Happy hair cut Steve - and seeing Richard and John doing a cameo with their new uniform looking very smart - but almost fooled me thinking the white one was going to be worked on - and with fabrication like that who needs a plasma cutter.
Super job Steve..... really tidy and I like the tips!!
Having a few hints and tips was great. Thanks
Excellent tutorial steve

Great video as always,got your work cut out for you on this one.how can all these cars rot out so bad.what do the owners do with them after work park them in the ocean.just never seen so many so rotted.good job.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Love watching your streams and find them.very relaxing! What type of sheet metal do you use? When I did my Kitcar (Caterham Style) I used Zintec and gor a welder in.. Keep up the good work and hope you get good deals on your disc's for the 4" grinder ae you must get through a few..
Beautiful.
Awesomw work - But in a series like his can you PLEASE Put Part numbers into the Title so we can follow it in correct sequence. I could not find out which was the next installment other than by watching them all in the wrong order.

Dunno how ye are finding it Steve, but we're so busy fixing rust here I'm going to bin-off sending stuff back in finished paint - half the day goes to pot trying to colour-match faded paint. Gonna send stuff out in 2K primer from now on & they can get someone else to do the painting. It's just too much of a ball-ache/time sink when you're set up for welding not painting.
Starting to take shape now.
Only thing when spraying that weld through primer is like you to wear a dust mask, H&S.
Thanks!
Nice skills! But is it good to weld panels in butt in places where are maximum forces and vibrations? To me more stronger it would be little bit one on the other😮
Shout out to anyone trying to line up gaps on mk1 escort front end good luck 🤞 lots of tea and head scratching needed !!!!
Boa noite meu amigo parabéns pelo serviço tope show
Professional 🦾🦾🦾
Hey Please exklusiv mit Bad Englisch but i am from German. But you Do your Job so fantastik. I live it❤😊
Love to know what’s going on with the rest of the cars in the shop. Is there a lot of you working in the daytime? Or have you started dozens of projects at the same time.
Only recently started following you, will we see the finished ( painted) car, in the end?
That is one rusty Mk1. Good things there's some decent panel manufacturers to help make things easier though 😊
I just found this channel and must say you goto love the classic small fords. I currently have a mk3 cortina or a td cortina as it's refered to as here in Australia. The car needs a fair bit of rust repairs in the rear and I have removed the rusty panels a long time ago. I have managed to find some replacement parts like the complete left quarter panel and outer rear valance. Though having problems finding others like the taillight buckets etc. I have looked at express steel panels in the uk and unfortunatly they tend to have a long lead time for the panels. No one seems to do replacement panels for the cortina here, apart for the sills & lower quarter panels. Can you suggest any other places in the uk that do replacement panels for the cortina?
Great work as always Steve! My question: is there enough strength in the chassis rail as it is now to be put back on the rotisserie? It seems as though the floor pan adds a lot of rigidness to the structure. Will you replace the floor pan before or after back on the rotisserie? Cheers from the island of Guam USA👍
USA number one
What paint is used prior to welding ?
It hurts to see Steve always working on the floor and can imagine the pain of his body. So i think: What`s harder than steel? Steve!
Us older generation don’t no anything else working on the floor in all weathers if there was no room inside workshop , it’s why like you say we are knackered now in later life but we are a different breed ! 👍🏻😂
O dear o dear valves are in the pot hope the heads are good ❤
I have a question if you don't mind how much do you charge to restore like that
No welder eye guard?
👍👍👍👍👍
Has that car been in a crash? Lower bulkhead to tunnel looks very wavey and bent,
Long time since I heard "cracking on"....
It’s a common saying amongst us crackers.
Great skills, clearly. But what a butter is the steel (8:05), no strength, plyable like lead.
No sorry I don't think you understand how much strong steel with stretch when hit repeatedly with a hammer. That's 1mm sheet steel and it's stronger and thicker than the original steel on the car. I think the speed up maybe mislead you :)
Steve please lie on a piece of card board ❤
I don't recon much to the holes rolled over....and a flap wheel disk would have been better for cleaning the weld up after
🤘😎🤘
you do great work but that F N music can't watch it
If this guy don't quit sleeping under his project vehicle, might come a time he won't wake up.
Great work, and entertaining to watch, but...
why do you cut out such complicated shapes....I understand that you cut out the rust where you find it, but why cut out pointy triangle "L" shapes when you could make them simple square (er) shapes...wouldn't that be easier?
No smaller is easier no mater the shape :) 👍
Isn't it so much better to hav a adequat machine to just shot those spotwelding holes ;)
I really need to send my MR2 up to you lads
To air hose cool or to not, irrelevant. ALL welds cause a tiny shrink around the outer edges of the heat effected zone, its just the nature of the beast. Heat expands the metal and the edge of the heat effected zone (red spot) gets forced into the metal at the edge which causes a shrink. you can take that shrink back out by use of hammer and dolly if you have access to both sides.
Thank you for watching.
Not quite. The middle of the heat effected zone shrinks as it's being compressed by the cold perimeter. The metal around the heat affected zone is then in tension once cooled, stretching the middle will return the panel to normal. The compressed air speeds up the process of cooling before more tacks are added. If you want minimum distortion cool the panel to room temperature after every tack. The more heat you add while you're welding will increase the shrinkage and cause more distortion.
@@bensclassicbodywork Well explained! Kyle Carter shows a good example of how this works practically, on a Chev truck mudguard (fender), repair. He actually welds and grinds each weld section as he does it and the result is a beautiful and controlled joint. His Carter Restorations in Canada, is also a beaut treatise in old school metal bumping.
Thanks Steve for the shout out . Colin
@@Afrodizyak47 thanks, I found Carter auto restyling is that the Channel? Looks good 👍 I'll check it out.
Now thats clickbait I can get behind.
It's a shame what they do with such rare classic cars. In germany you will never pass the TÜV (MOT) with repairs like this, or on the datsun. I started viewing this beliving it's a joke, but they are in business with this sort of "bodywork". I'm scared! 😥
Poor customers and poor cars 😔 and if you think it's an country based quality thing, take a look on Trev's blog for an example. The UK is famous for great car manufactures and bodywork. But this??? 😭
