Im good with just the noise of the tools on the ff....dont need to music.....cool video....thanks
Ok thanks!
no music just the tool noise.😁
👍
Bring back the music Dave, it's your signature 👍
No music needed watching you is perfect
Thanks 😊😊
No music , just the tools .👍
👍
I prefer the music of the tools, and your beautiful accent, to the sound of music on the videos. But that’s me.
Noted!
Turned out nice in the end
Happy with no music 👍 Great work as always Dave .
Awesome, thank you!
All the best from ali khan garage pekan Kangar noo
Enjoying the build, prefer no music
Nice build :)
Ah, thank you 😊
No music for me tool noise best 👍great video as always
Thanks 👍
You used to have music but now you’ve joined the ranks of very few that don’t use it and it’s much better for it. I watch some other resto channels and the music is over the top, I never see a need for it. Others play it while talking, so you have them competing with their own music level. After a few minutes you soon get tired of that crap elevator rubbish. Others will say do want you want, but I say no, if you’re open to honest feedback then my opinion is that this format is levels above the others because content is king and you can’t polish a turd! cheers Dave.
It's your honest comment previously that made me rethink the music, turns out, you were right! Most have said the same, only a few have said they like the music.
@@DavesGarageuk I'm always right Dave! hehe. I speak my mind and I believe honesty really is the best policy, the problem with social media is we often face a barrage of abuse for daring to criticise, but change won't happen if we don't stand up and be counted hey? It really has become epidemic with youtubers putting music behind their narration as if it can make it more interesting, it's baffling. Maybe it comes from watching documentaries and movies or something.
Great Videos, really nice job. I like the videos without music.
Glad you like them!
About to do my rear panel and was dreading it - feel a lot more confident after watching you and the top corner method looks great - thanks again for taking the time to share Dave 👍🏼🍺
Glad I could help 😊😊 hope it goes well for you
Dave You’re attention to detail is second to none
Thanks for another interesting and informative video. I'm definitely in the 'No music thank you' camp. Best wishes.
Cheers for that Dave. I’ve tried that and checked polarity. Maybe my welders too powerful. Thanks anyway
No music please , great job 👍
👍
I prefer the noise of the tools.
👍
Measurements are 849mm centre of each bolt hole on an original rear end.
Thanks for your videos has helped push on my project.
That's brilliant, thank you. 👏
Hi Dave….. love the videos exactly as they are. I prefer NO music thanks, Tony
Cool, thanks
Excellent job dave loving the videos 👌👌👌
No music is fine with me. Keep up the good work!
👍
Great video i am confident that the boot lid will sit nice once it's all tied in and your boot rubber fitted you have done a great job Dave
Thank you Russell 😊
While you are actively working/welding etc, I prefer to hear the noise of the tools etc. looking nice Dave.
Cool, thanks
I prefer no music Dave. Keep up the good work.
nice job
Great job looks amazing 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Like the sound of the tools great job
Thanks 👍
Good solid job like new.
I was thinking the same as you Dave when you started removing it as it looked pretty decent but it definitely made a much better cleaned up job of it, you also got to fix the nasty bits behind it so winner winner a really lovely job mate , as for the music I’m not gonna miss it personally it can get annoying sometimes but that is certainly not a criticism 👍
Thanks 👍
No music for me! Love the videos😀
Good to know!
No music Dave. Great videos.
Nice work Dave. just a heads up on touching the bare metal with your bare hands, the sweat from your hands will make it flash rust dont want you seeing rust coming through under the primer and recking you hard work 😢 loving your channel keep it up
Thanks for the tip!
Nice one Dave
Rear panel fitted very well Dave, looks great. Not a fan of background music. Listening with headphones on some channels its that loud it puts me off watching them. Only my opinion though .
👍
Thanks Dave for sharing, great work. Please keep doing these videos they are a great reference.
I prefer to hear the tools working rather than the music, but it won't stop me watching.
Cool, thanks
No music Dave.
👍
Nice work again Dave :)
Thanks again!
Nice job, and a satisfying result. music over your time lapse please.
Thanks
Dave i do really like. Your content but you need to get more videos out quicker because its easy to forget you after getting tired of searching for your next one but failing and watching other CZcamsrs,if waiting for parts why not paint the engine ,make it all shiny and paint the engine bay,sort the wiring loom,just keep pumping out videos,just a thought, hopefully in the right direction especially as you will now be driving on the right,plus no doubt you know about the welsh firm that makes mk one and two new ,so anything you need ,you could give them a shout for a bit of help wwith anything you need get
I work full time, pal, I "pump out" what I can, it's a hobby, not my day job, thanks for your comment, I appreciate the motive to help out. 👍
looking good dave
Lovely work once again dave. nice to see you using gasless mig wire and getting decent results. it gets a lot of bad press online & all the pros will tell you have to use gas etc....but forget to mention that good work can be done without it with correct wire
The trick to get decent welds on flux core is to reverse the polarity to wire negative and positive clamp. If it spatter its the wrong polarity, its not the same as with gas. Most of the cheap flu core machines have the wrong polarity.
Thank you! Cheers!
Music great
Top job Dave..very entertaining.
Thanks 😋
I've seen a full restauration on Odd Autos CZcams channel with a lot of panels being replaced, so they might help you with details.
A good job well done as always Dave. Well done you chap. A joy to watch.
Thanks 👍
Great work Dave ! fitted my back panel the same way worked a treat !
Glad I'm not the only one then 😊😊
I like to see and hear you work Dave, so no music for me.
👍
Don't let the music bother you either way, it's the content that is important.
👍
Another top job there Dave. You made that look easy, but it's really not.
No music for me, I prefer the more raw videos myself
Thank you 😊
Excellent job ,once again Dave,it went in really well seeing you doing that took me back many years.
Thank you Alan, did you sell your Sierra after?
@@DavesGarageuk Hi Dave ,no I didn't,I had two offers of £4000,not enough, take care.
No music please Dave 😊
👍
Good job👍
I don’t mind the music on the speeded up sections, but not whilst you are chatting 😊
Nice one Dave, that definitely came out a treat, keep up the great work and videos mate 👍👏
Thanks, will do!
Love your work Dave, your the man! No music for me,
Cheers
I appreciate that!
No music please and yet another great video
I can understand the initial apprehension at removing the rear panel, I can imagine it's quite a big deal to do something so significant after so much progress elsewhere, especially if you're expecting the new panel might take some working to get to fit well. 15mins in and it's looking like a good move if only to get to the other areas for repair easily.
Dave, I'm happy with no music if that makes it easier for you. Great job 🙂
no music!
👍
Looks good dave fits well
Great job that. Never missed the music that has become synonymous with your channel (messed with me mellons when Matt from Urchfab played it while spraying a Mercedes camper (Soup Classic Motoring?)), however the angle grinder in fast play sounds like a dentists drill and I need a filling, but you have completly put me off going now! I loved how the photo used for an alignment check of the boot lid was a beautiful Mk1 RS1600 rather than an 1100L. Surely there cant be much welding left on this project now can there?
Ha, thanks Neil, I'm not a fan of the dentist either... I keep thinking, nit much welding left, then more seems to appear 🤣
That looks absolutely brilliant great job👍👍 I need to order my rear panel this week, where did you order it from? not sure if it makes a difference mine is a 1970 MK1
Thank you, got it from eBay, the only difference I could see is the number plate area, some are flat, some have pressing in them. Hope this helps.
@@DavesGarageuk yes Dave that's the only difference I can see👍🙂
Another great video Dave - really enjoy these. What size box section have you used to brace the gap across the rear wings ?
Hi Paul, 25mm x3mm mate
here for the restoration work. so if it makes life easier in editing then for sure no music......
👍
I like the music to be honest Dave. Any angle grinding especially sped up is awful. I've found myself turning the volume down for those bits.
Thanks, Ben. I'm afraid you're in a minority, I prefer music to tbh, but it seems the extra work is just annoying most 😀
@@DavesGarageuk thanks for the reply Dave. Never mind I'll just whistle or hum along instead.
@@benjaminbenson8714 😊😊😋
Have just spent an afternoon catching up, your coming on great!!!!
Thank you Dave
Nice one sir 👍 i just tipped my project 90 degrees and started the patching, thanks for all the info
Thank you 😊. It makes so much difference being able to work on your project when tipped over. All the best.
Good job Dave, do you know, I didn't even miss the music. So I don't mind if you leave it out.
👍
Its all coming along lovely now. Im working on a1977 MGB at the moment but having problems blowing through with 8mm gasless wire. Could you please let me know the type/make of wire you use as you are having great success with it. Thanking you in advance.and please keep these videos coming.
Hi Dave, are you using an inverter welder or an older transformer welder?
I’m using an invertor welder cheets
@davelaverty5474 ok, have you reversed the polarity? If so then turn it to minimum feed and power, try again just one spot at a time, then work up from that. If it's piling on top, turn up slightly. It doesn't need much power. Don't try continuousl weld on thin stuff. Hope this helps
Hi just come across your channel and really enjoying it binge a few videos and subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Thanks really enjoying the videos
Great work Dave - that panel looks a really good fit.
Thanks 👍
DAVE!!! Hello from the other side. Looks great. You made quick work on that panel. And you got to fix what looked like a bad repair. Well done. I enjoy watching you, very meticulously on your work. Music, no music doesn't matter. Your videos are well put together. You give enough not to make it boring. Be well, my friend, waiting for the next one.
Thank very much 😊😊
Another brilliant job Dave. Love watching your work. 👍🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant job, lines up lovely. How did you sharpen your spot weld drill bit with the angle grinder? Looks like you’ve a technique. No music is better for me Dave
Cheers Mick, I kind of guess at it, I do have video on sharpening bits using a bench grinder, similar I guess with the grinder..
no music thanks
👍
Amazing as asual
😊😊
Beautiful work, that came out really good! Need to see how much of the back panel I have to repair.
I hope my video will help, it is not as difficult as it looks tbh, it was one of the more enjoyable jobs.
Thanks a lot for doing all this I enjoyed it a lot pal, much better without the music I thought.
Glad you enjoyed it, that's the concensus so far.
Nice work as always. I'd say no music, TBH I watch yours and other similar channels at 1.5 speed otherwise I wouldn't have time to watch them all so I have to turn the music down.
Bet I sound even weirder at 1.5 speed 🤣🤣
Great work as always Dave, - regarding music I prefer none with the sound of the tools being used prevalent. don't mind so much some channels that have some soft and low volume stuff but I recently abandoned a vid because of the music, (not one of yours!)very loud and more suited to a blockbuster film trailer.
👍
Bugger that the tops were a little off. A new rear panel is on the list for mine and I think I'll need those bits to be replaced
To be fair, the rest of it fitted well
Watched yr vids since you’ve started dave good build I’m a coded structural vehicle builder by trade and it’s a no no no no from me with flux core wire on them bumper / boot main support mounts yes flux core through a mug with gas but nooooo to flux core I hate them welds they’re litrelly 0 penetration rather you than me m8 good luck
Ok, good to have your insight, but I have found (not that I'm an expert of course) that the flux core penetrates surprisingly well??
No music but i don't mind at all ✌️ fantastic work again, that turned out as good as i expected with you doing it 😉 as in great.
Thank you! Cheers!
Do what you're happy with. You don't need anyone's permission to have music or not have music. I guess a practical, happy medium would be the sound of the tools at a reduced volume, as it's closer to reality compared to music, on the basis there are many different musical preferences and tastes.
Why were those bits of angle in the boot - was it a previous owner's attempt at reducing the crumple zone caving in if there was a rear end impact, or maybe the remnants of a tow bar ?
Thanks pal, I have no idea what those bits of angle were doing, pain in the neck to remove though!!
prefer without the music .
👍
i do love the sound of rain....so if you can ad that sound, heard it before...great work Dave, i enjoy every episode, greetz from #AtelierVollegaaz
🤣🤣 that's a sound I can do little about
Been waiting for this hopes the weather wasn’t too good your ends 😂
🤣🤣
Great work as always mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks pal
Top stuff Dave what setting you running on welder see it's same as mine R tech using gasless wire.
On the thin stuff, almost on minimum feed & power
Yep that's where I am with setting . Thanks .
Hello sir! I wonder why are you struggling with this flux core wire and don't you buy a tank of CO2 and and 0.6mm solid wire and welding will be so easy and simple! I have never used gasless but it doesn't look too good.
I have said co2 and .6 wire, I have found flux core works very well.
@@DavesGarageuk Indeed! It still leaves residues which needs to be cleaned up, and the quality doesn't seem right for sheet metal. Nonetheless you are doing great! I like everything connected to cars!
Hi Dave have you taken the fuse out of your mrs iron to put in the welder🤔
🤣🤣
Can you sing like Tom Jones instead of the music please Dave😀
🤣🤣 if I start singing, the Internet will break
Let there be music!
I like it just fine without the music. Save yourself some effort and leave it out.
👍
Just noticed the comments before me are from 2 and 3 months ago ???
Only just popped up, weird!
No music is fine.
I Don t need the music Dave 😊
👍
