E24, in my opinion, most beautiful BMW ever !
100% agreed. Hats off to Paul Bracq, the original designer.
Agreed. Your comment made me think about my late father. He once said he really liked the engine in my BMW E24. But it was a pity the design was so simple and dull. He drove a Citroën DS himself lol. There was iust no other car for him I guess 😅.
they are a good car :)
I have a G82 and can only agree 😅. I did buy it for its ugliness
Admire the old school repairs, a true skill set, metal works, welding etc!
Fabrication art! Not many that have your level of skill and artistry.
thank you Jeff , it is a dying trade , one reason we share it :)
I'm so grateful the MA channel turned me on to you guys! I've been watching car restoration videos a long time and have never seen anything like this! Truly unique and masters of your craft! Thanks for showing me what's possible and giving these old cars new life, I love it!
The 27 or so minutes of the video is no reflection as to how many hours go into what looks like a simple repair. Keep them coming.
haha it did take longer than 27 mins :)
Incredible fabricating skills
thank you William :)
What distinguishes this channel is not only skills, the art of work, but there is no unnecessary philosophy and constant talking, talking and more talking - instead of talking there is work and I love it (nice background music) thank you for every video
Hi Steve Absolute amazed even more than I have in the past at your skill in fabricating skills.....5 stars are not enough, I'll give 101 stars ...lol.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you Tony :)
The way you are able to make the repair almost invisible is incredible.
Just want to thank you guys for making these videos, Learnt a lot from you guys - doing some repairs on the transit, keep grinding,
Keep finding more rusts 😂 been a few weeks and still finding more. Unlike your work, it appears
One side of the wheel arch had been lap welded three times, always wondered why one side of my arch is thicker. Well now I know 😂
Arrg just keep on it Tony, it will be worth it :)
Sorry but i can't get my head around what you guys do (brilliant) i've been there and its such a heartache at times . You deserve the top dolllorr without a doubt 💗💗💗
thank you Jimmy we really do appreciate that :)
Can never understand customers who moan about the price of bodywork this just shows you the level of skill and time effort put into a proper repair well done guys love you work
Nice to see that there are still people willing to do this type of work. Every bodyshop around me would just tell you to junk it
its the same everywhere , nobody seems to want to put the work in nowdays :)
About 35 years ago I was staying in a small boutique hotel in Exeter U.K. The owner had a beautiful black 635csi fully loaded and immaculate. His pal had a similarly specked 911 Turbo, both parked in the courtyard of the hotel. It was a warm summer’s evening. I really didn’t want to go to my room that night.
You appear to be making shapes out of thin air and they fit well. While you make it look easy, there is no doubt that there is years of experience in those hands and eyes of yours. As always just wonderful work yet again.
Thank you Eddie :) you support is always appreciated, I have done this for a.few years :)
Watching the forming of replacement sections of panel-work is an art form all its own. Thanks.
thank you its also fun :)
Hi Steve. Nice mix of metal and german lace. As usual astonishing mastery.
Thank you Leo :)
Good evening from Germany. Can’t believe how you skimpt on that inner chassis re-inforcement. Cutting corners and not even matching the hole in the original rusted out piece that no one will ever see! 😂😂😂😂
You know after spending the whole day banging away on the keyboard. I find watching you form metal on my 65" TV with house music playing in the background to be quite therapeutic
haha thank you :)
Loving your videos guys, great camera work really demonstrates how much actually goes into your invisible repairs. Thank you so much for the immense amount of time you must put into producing this content, adding to already busy days. 👏👍🙏🇦🇺
thank you Mel, yes each 20 min video dose take a lot of work but we will continue to try and improve our content for you to continue to enjoy :)
When my E46 gets tired, I'll come and see you!😊😊😊
haha thank you Nick :)
That’s some art and skill work. Love your content ❤
Genius. Absolutely mesmerising. Thanks.
Thank you Nigel :)
Fantastic work as always Steve. The E24 635CSi is one of my all time favourite cars. There were so many of these scrapped for rust issues, looking at this it is easy to see why. There are very few people left that are skilled enough to make cost-effective repairs like you do. Well done again.
Thank you Bob :)
Great quality work steve 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Not many so called big reputable restoration garages/business out their , do this kind of quality work and do it right 1st time !!!
When my classic car needs any body work , am going to bring it to you !!!👌👌👌
This is so satisfying to watch!! This guy can fabricate anything!!
Impressive work, both the metal and camera, most relaxing to watch, Cheers
Thank you very much!
Work of an artist.
Thank you :)
Quality work as ever Steve, you've helped me so much with my own project taking it to a whole new level, thanks again, Joe
Love to see your video’s. Great workmanship 🙏👍🏻

Master metal man Steve teaching the skills thanks sir I'm learning so much

Hi Steve. Thx for execellent videos.
no problems at all Ivor, thank you for watching :)
That's some really awesome 👌 work my friend thank you guys for the upload I just watched this video and I have another idea how I can make a metal bender with 3 pipes from the one I saw you use I made one already to make square bends. Well I know one thing that car is going to be fixed right ✅️..you guys are the best I love ❤️ this channel its my favorite channel on CZcams it has helped me so much with learning how to do different things.
thank you David we do appreciate the support and kind words :)
Amazing craftsmanship.
thank you Craig :)
Excellent job
thank you :)
Dear me Steve , the more you look the more you find seems appropriate here , I really don't envy you this one - Excellent video presentation as ever as well
thank you Colin :)
nice one great work
Gonna need to buy in a boatload of sheet steel to patch up Mats' 635 😁
yep its a little worst thank this one but not as much work as the disaster Datsun we are doing , go have a look :)
Top Class!👍
Thank you :)
Another good one, and just a thumbs up and comment for the algorithm. Regards.
Thank you George it dose help :)
Magnificent ❤
Very nice work! I need to get me a bead roller & a shrinker, stretcher!
they are prolly the only tools that cost a little bit :)
Well done. Grate talent 💪👍
Masters at work
thank you Robert :)
Play a bit of Neil Diamond as the back ground music and I could watch this skill, craftmanship and trail until it fits all. Shame of the copyright on Neil. Great work guys. Great cars to work on
yer don't think Neil would be happy :)
Another interesting restoration video....I like the quality of your repair panels that will not be seen when a panel is fitted over the top...ps I also own a Manta, what work is being carried out on the Orange one in the background?
Hi yes I like things to be correct underneath as well so the car is as good as possible :) the open manta is having rear arches on as someone has welded over rust in the past.
Golden hands 🙌
thank you :)
CONGRATS on 20k subscribers , best channel on CZcams
haha thank you, we try our best and will continue to hopefully improve :)
Quality repair work. Without these skills and dedication, so many of these older cars will disappear.
we beleive they would also hence why we do our best to recover what would be cars lost to rust. :)
Give me an old skool BMW to a modern one any day
same here :)
Wow did your blood lines makes swords for kings and warriors or something? I just subscribed from matt Armstrongs channel and all a can say is I'm glad I did! True craftsman 👍
haha thank you its just a satisfying job :)
I'm amazed you guys haven't done a pedal conversion/upgrade on your shrinker/stretcher yet.
Haven't had time:)
Fantastic again. One question your power file abrasive belt seems to last a while, could you tell me make as I have been restoring my Dad's and the belts keep splitting and snapping. Many thanks Graham
Nicely made. I would like to have that knowhow. Grts
thank you Peter :)
Great knowledge greg that's why we watch your builds
thank you Lennie :) im guessing you ment steve haha :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration yes sorry me and phones lol
Fantastic work 👍👍👍
Watch all your videos they are all great 👍👍👍👍👍
thank you Nick :)
Great work....eggs me on 😊...what brand/style wire wheels do you use in the grinder ?...they seem to work well...
Приветствую. Вы пластические врачи автомобилей. Молодцы!
That takes skill and patience, which I have none off . Great job
with a little practice :0
Just a quick question. How Would you paint the bare metal inside the areas you boxed in? Is it good to apply welding primer before boxed them in? Again just curious
there aren't any areas boxed in yet as the sills we have to repair the inside and bottom from underneath the car yet and the inner arch is accessible from inside the boot an inside the cab, weld through primer or any primers aren't that good as they still flash off where the weld is applied and all other primers are flammable so no good to use when welding, in my 30 years doing this its better to finish the job then seam seal and primer where you can after the job , then drill holes and apply cavity wax where you cant prime, also make sure there are drain holes where needed :0
Very nice music.
That wheel arch has got more pudding than Sainsbury's.
and Sainsbury's have a lot of puddings :)
Brilliant job
Thanks!
Stunning work, rather than having music playing over the video - are you able to give a voiceover instead. Would be nice to have your insight.
sorry we do try when we have time but unlike other channels this is done in our spare time we we have full time jobs so no able to as its more time consuming, its a chore keeping up as is :)
Do you follow up repair with any waxoil or similar inside the panels ?
yes always :)
👏👏👏
:)
What a big difference between your quality repairs versus that of a cheaper body shop. Yours will last a lifetime, while their goal is typically to cover up the damage, hoping it will last a couple years at most. Do they make quarters for this particular vehicle? If so, wouldn't that be a more efficient way to go?
Is there any need to strengthen the frame on these coupes in your view?
not really :)
I thought for a moment the bead roller was getting a new stand just like the shrinker/stretcher.
the bead roller will be fastened down shortly:)
Excelente su trabajo, mis respetos.
thank you Jose its appreciated :)
👌👍
Thank you :)
Id love to have the rear inner/outer arches and sills replacing on my Mk4 Astra Gsi but i know i wont be able to afford it doing.
we aren't expensive :)
That sounds good to me then ive messaged you on your fb page.
Respect, i could only help by making brews, sweeping and washing, no laundry thoughgreat range
of equipment and tools the "little" anvils are great, bet you have a 14lb hammer somewhere/
Definitely a skill makeing cuppas :)
👍
:)
Is there a reason you aren’t using weld through primer?
Bench mount shear arrived monday - dead useful bit of kit, should have bought one years ago - so thanks for that tip, Steve. Nice job on the lower screen surround - those can be "Fun". I tend to just make them in 2 pieces & weld them - purely for speed/ease - but making a 1 piece repair is better. Different ways to skin a cat but the cats still skinned. :-)
Had to weld the entire center back into a fords roof today btw - sunroof section underneath was borked, as was the underside of the roof itself - hence the outer roof got cut off. Sweet moG.... must have been 3 meters of weld or close. Because there's no way of re-tensioning the panel, it flopped about like a sail after - had to form braces for the underside to get the shape/ridgidity back & spot weld those in.
It goes on the list of "Hardest repairs I've run across" - wouldn't be in a rush to do another. Nowhere else would touch it - and I know why.
It is a useful tool :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration "Need a long 10mm strip? Ballache with the grinder... doddle with the bench shears. :-)
hi steve , you ever get nervous cuting big chunks out of rare cars like this BMW or the porsche ?
Hi Karen , no i cant wait to get cutting as i enjoy putting good metal back in :)
More great work Steve. - as to the most beautiful BMW us old ones remember the 507 is the very best ( or maybe 503 if you are even older)
thank you David i think we know your DB6 is also very beautiful :)
What are the bender tools called on stand at around 3:10?
that's a sheet metal stretcher, the other is a shrinker :)
Iam more interested in Cosmo .where is it?? Like to see finished project 💖
Siendo tan ducho en lo k hace porque el taller no esta mas concurrido de trabajo? YO lo felicito.y saludos
wait until you get into the back box sections holding the rear axle etc. eye opener .
i think that in the u.k. instead of having the right hand side by default they should have stainless steel cars
would make for easier jobs :)
The filler work is definitely in keeping with the age of the car 😂
Great video 👍🏻
yes seems to be a period repair :)
It's amazing how the Brits are not afraid of rust, but here in American it turns into a massive massive expense for even small jobs and even then it's shoddy work!
The cars like that with a lot of rust why didn't you dip it to take care to make sure all that is good metal just curious
Because dipping it costs a lot more money including completely stripping, removing engine, steering, drive train, lights, wiring loom then there is the dip, then there is fully reassembling it and fully priming and painting it etc. It's not in the customers budget. :)
Thank you very much for your response back. Have a great day
@@johnwarthan2675 that's no problem John :)
😷👍

ฝีมือดี
👀 !!
:)
Body putty and fiberglass! Good DIY against rust. It's sad!
its a period repair i guess :)
forse di seconda mabo con lo stesso costo se ne trovava un ato migliore più fresca
U should let matt have this shell lol
коли точками приварено то виглядае добре а от сплошним швом обварить .тоді який вигляд буде
Old cars can't be welded with a seam it has to be lots of spot welds to keep the heat down and stop it warping :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration я вважаю шо там де воно було сплошний метал мае бути сплошний шов а де контактна сварка то там точки.так добре.але на точках теж держиться
Very beautiful cars… but crustie after so many years!
They are :)
Gdzie mu tam do naszego mistrza...
Thank you :)
