Fast becoming one of my favourite CZcams channels
Thank you :)
Definitely my new favorite channels I love how you can fix and fabricate body panels and weld you sure know your stuff
Thank you David :)
This is my favorite car of all time. My mom had the exact same one in red but I think it had a sunroof. My dad had a BMW dealership and my mom picked me up from school and and we went to see her new car bring off loaded from the truck. She loved that car. It's great to see a restoration of such a great car; it makes me so happy to see it; thank you 😃😃👍👍👏👏
glad your enjoying the videos :)
New Car arrives in the Workshop, the team looks it over , spots massive rust damage ,the cry goes up ,"why can't we ever have nice cars to work on", and the reply comes "If they were nice anyone could fix them" - another cracking project to follow
Thank you :) we do love fabricating and that's only posible with rust haha
I could watch this all night.great work🙏👍
Thank you Claire :)
And you’ve got the best and most peaceful music I’ve ever heard!
Thank you :)
I've been in the trade for 47 yrs and your work is outstanding . People don't realise what it takes just too patch a panel up thats why i avoid your kind off work. I started in the trade as a painter and thats how i'll end it lol . Great work 👍👍👍
hi Jimmy , yes your right it is a lot of work specially as we do this all day then in our own time do the ones for youtube :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration - yes but never, ever forget how much pleasure YOU are giving to both customers and viewers alike . Why don't you open a shop in Southend ? Big Clue : sea air / rusty cars !
Pure magic. I love watching this stuff. Thanks!!
It's our pleasure :)
It is amazing to watch you shape a piece of flat metal into a piece of art.
thank you Carol :)
Interesting how you weld then cut, then weld….and repeat as needed to get the panel flat/straight. Great work Steve! I can’t get enough of the fabrication process! 😉
Thank you mark :) it’s also fun doing it :)
Great car and great workmanship 👍 Can’t wait to see this one finished 👍
Thank you Nick. Me nither :)
I m having one in Singapore . 1980 E24 635 CSi . Took me 3.5 years to restore . Beautiful memories
Another great video guys, could sit and watch these all day long.
thank you Barry we really do appreciate that :)
Yes! A restoration on my favourite car, so cool!
Glad your enjoying it :)
big respect - you are a skilled person along with your colleagues.
Thank you Richard :)
Hang in there little e24. Don't be afraid. You're in good hands. Thank you for saving this baby. I can't remember if they had a V8 model.
Thank you Craig :)
Just found this channel. I watch Mat Armstrong, and my feed suggested checking you guys out. I immediately subscribed. superb skills for sure. What I can't figure out is that this video got over 182K views, but only 2.5K likes? Come on people....show this channel some love alright? Cheers from Guam USA👍
I'm fascinated by the effort you put to make it right! great work
thank you :)
amazing craftsmanship, please continue the keep the "real cars" alive!
Your fabrication skills are awesome 👍
Thank you shaun :)
Bloody epic, what a car , cant wait to see it finished
Total respect Sir....
Thank you very much :)
this is a form of artistry. thanks for saving this shark.
Whoa! I wouldn't have thought to use that combination of dies in the bead roller that way! Thanks for sharing!
Yer I didn't have a tipping die so used what I had :)
Again a nice car. Could watch your videos the whole day long. Great skills and work!!
thank you very much :)
Levels in life and this is on another one, incredible to watch.
thank you for the encouragement Chris :)
Mesmerising, it's like an art work
Perfect work. True legend car
Thank you :)
First time watched one of your channels
Love the E24 CSI
Fabricating skills superb
😮
👍👍
Thank you Stephen we really do appreciate the support :)
Awesome as always Steve
thank you again Steven :)
Nice work as always. Got to love an E24, even if the previous repairs look like they were done by a plasterer….
Haha thank you :)
Super work, as always.
Thank you :)
This is a project how I like it. Just like the Vauxhall I restored some years ago. You're doing a great job. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
thank you Very much for your support and hope you enjoy the coming videos :)
I love how you took your time and got everything to fit like so. Great fabrication and bodywork skills. Well done ! 👍👍👍
Thank you Joseph :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration You're very welcome mate :-)
Awesome!
Just amazing craftsmanship here, makes it look easy when it is anything but. Getting those things to fit so accurately is very difficult. Not warping it all into a pretzel while welding it is also difficult or blowing lots of holes all over the place and that thin metal.
Thank you yes it takes a little practice :)
Great work there Steve as always 👍👍
Thank you Lee , you will have to pop along and see the new shop :)
That's what you call a body shop. Good work
thank you Patrick :)
Kicked into a customers '80's RS escort today.. same colour as your beemer.. pulled everything off - interior, all bolt ons, dash, all glass blah blah - had a bare shell + engine/running gear by days end. I think it gives your beemer a run for its money on the "Is any bit not rusted out?" front. :-) That Datsun springs to mind...
Yer it's unbelievable how.m ch prep.work is needed before you even get to the rust sometimes :)
From BMW i like only the shark nose ones. Good choice and good work.
thank you for your continued support Leo :)
Amazing skills !
Fascinating to watch master craftsmanship
Great videos 😊
thank you Rick :)
I have this exact car in my driveway...in line to get wrenched on with the rest of my projects. Too many car projects my wife says..told her I bought it for her so I could keep it🤣
best policy :)
love the vids. great music.
thank you Jack , glad you like it :)
Exceptional craftsmanship Steve , the soothing music allowed the viewer to concentrate on your work more....😀😀😀
Thank you Tony we do try to make our videos interesting :)
I have an E24 M635CSI just like this one except that it's lived in Texas all its life and doesn't have a spot of rust on it. I did just buy a very rusty Mercedes Benz W111 coupe that looks like it's had a skim coat of filler wiped all over it in a previous restoration that's starting to fail. These videos aren't just educational, but they're therapeutic. Thanks for putting them out there.
Damn impressive work. 🇦🇺
thank you Mel, bet its warmer where you are :D
Steve you should have been a artist, you see the picture before it’s painted! I’ve been messing about welding cars since I was about 18 and now 70 now and your work is absolutely brilliant.
Thank you :) you have few years experience then :)
Just wonderful Steve, you have eyes all over your head to see all the different curves intersecting on the panel and your skill to get that wheel arch curvature on your fabrication to match the car is beyond belief! Just poetry in motion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Eddie :) we do appreciate your support :) 👍
Awesome job mate !
Thank you :)
You boys have skills
Thank yo u Mark :)
Nice is an understatement 😊😊😊!
thank you Nick :)
Artista e mago delle lamiere, bravissimo artista e artigiano nel far rivivere una bellissima macchina.
Nice work 👍
Thank you :)
this is talent!
Thank you :) 👍
Top grosses Kino !
I recently bought a 635csi greenshark and this about to be the video manuals for my body work.
That is the whole point of our videos so it makes us happy this is going to help :)
Хорошая работа . Оживление больного . Врачи профессионалы . Добрых Вам дней )))😊
I get mesmerized at how you work. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Can you please share what happens to the rusted portion of the wheel well? It looked as though it was not also restored, but has rust damage. Does it get replaced sheet metal and attach to the outer skin, or attached to the Sill that you replaced, off camera filming,? The work you all do for this channel, well, it's great stuff to watch and learn from!
The wheel well should be in the next video and the floor section in coming videos :)
Bravo good job
Thank you :)
It's wonderful to know that great craftsmen (if were still allowed to use the word) are still doing this quality of work I look forward to seeing more of the same is there a start to finish set of videos on a vehicle?
Hi Ray, thank you ,yes i think we are ok to say craftsman haha , if you look on out channel you will see various series :)
You are amazing at what you do, so satisfying watching you getting your head round making each panel from scratch with no stress😀 can I ask what welder is best for a beginner with no power source?
the snapon ones are very good :)
Damn.....that BMW is the ultimate rusting machine! Lol
Compaired to what we are restoring it's not to bad :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration can't wait to see more...
Great hammer skills.
thank you Chris :)
Great jobb this is one of my dream cars plzzzzz make more videos of it
thank you and dont worry we will be making videos of all the rust repairs on this :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration love them channel you guy's are amazing
@@mitkine thank you :)
You sir, are a master at your craft.
Looking forward to more videos on this 😀
thank you very much :)
un artista....
Thank you :)
Un gran trabajo
Thank you Bernardo :)
Wow pekná práca
Thank you :)
great camera work, everybody should have a domestic sized anvil like yours, very hady
Thank you and yes they are very handy :)
I put my hat down for you Sir...If you were a doctor a lot people would be alive! Your skill level is insane!
Difficult panel to make, nice to see a bead roller used.
What decides if a joint is butt or lapp?
Is it a technical choice or cost?
It's definitely my favourite UTube channel, your workshop now looks 'worked in' with stuff everywhere!
👍🇬🇧
thank you , usually the choice between butt and lapped panels is cost, butt welded panles take more time and therefore more money to do :)
If I had just 10% of your skills, my classic would be in much better condition. 👍👍
Im sure you can with a little practice :)
In time to come , this kind of Art will be regarded in the same way as a Van Gogh / Picasso / Michelangelo
I could relate to this vid because I had a beautiful ( exterior ) E39 , sadly rotten to the core underneath 😞
Went so far and had to give up ; there was nothing left "to weld to" ....
Wish I had chosen this as a career , so much satisfaction each & every day .
Thank you. Yes it's a very satisfying job and we do love our jobs :)
Incredible skills and magnetic videos. I was hoping the car to be sandblasted or dipped down to bare metal
Just rust repairs for this one , thank you for your support :)
Где ребята респираторы? Надо себя ценить!а BMW 👍!
We forget :)
a splendid video it ended early have you made any more .
yes this series will be constantly made into CZcams videos until we have finished with the rust :)
thank you ill be watching 😄
Absolutely astonishing fabrication skills from what seems to be 'just a shed' !
However i wonder is: how long will this hold? The rust prevention SEEMS just some zinc spray, which is a pity considering the amount of caring tlc.
Another question: you SEEM to cut rusted parts first and than you start fabricating replacement body parts. How do you know the replacement part should look and fit, if the old part is gone (thrown away??) ? Am i right you use the panel on the other mirrored side as guide?
Do you spotweld or seamweld the fabricated parts to the original body?
Thanks for this video that is both relaxing and educational.
Thank you. All jobs are protected after the job is finished with either access holes and neutraliser and Waxoil or they can be accessed from both sides so treated with paint or underbody treatment.
As in the video we measure, make templates and use the original body part as a pattern.
We seam weld all jobs after fabrication :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration
Thank you, i should not have worried :)
Keep on the good work
It always hurts me to see such extensive rust damage on a beautiful car like this. Especially if someone just smeared bondo on it. You should deal with rust before it gets out of hand. If you just cover it up it continues to eat up the metal underneath. Good that there are Craftsmen like you who can fix it the proper way. I always admired people who can work with metal like that. It is art. I have a 635csi from 83. Luckily only with a few very tiny spots of surface rust in the engine bay and on the wheel arches. All the metal still is untouched original because i deal with the rust as soon as i notice it.
It's nice to have such a rare rust free car :)
👍👍👍
:)
Wonderfull,
How long this job in this video took, from start to finish?
don't know didn't count haha
Come on boys, stop messing about with patches! Strip it and dip it - its the only way to know what you have to work with.
its not our choice, thats not what the customer wants :)
That there is my dream car ! it's a work of art just like your handiwork and I can only hope I can afford one before they are all gone and future governments decide I shouldn't be allowed to drive it anyway 👍 PS have you ever considered offering classes on bodywork ??
When is Steve going to get the time to do that.
It is a stunning car. We have thought about it but we work 8am to 8pm six days a week so don't have time :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration there's that 7th day... 😉
@@drumtochtyglen haha yes Eddie. You are so right :) 👍
@@francispowell1811 I could do with a 9 day week 🤣
Great job, but you are using the grinder without the safe guard😮
::new car arrives at shop::
existing projects: "am I a joke to you?"
We work on the all every week :)
Стекла береги.
Hello! I am new to your channel, referred from Matt´s. You might want to write PART1, PART2..., in each video so we know where to begin watching a restoration :)
thank you for your input :) also if you goto the playlist you can watch by the oldest :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration actually you are right!! Greetings from Spain
You welded the new arch over the old one, then cut through to remove the old panel. is that to keep the original lines?
It's the easiest way to get a perfect fitment before butt welding it in :)
Saw that method on Fitzee’s Fabrication as well. A good job well done. Thanks for the content.
@@stewartshackleton7825 yes it's a technique use quite often in the industry :)
Two questions please:
1) Did you use 18 or 16 gage steel?
2) what was the distance from the door to the end of the arch panel you fabricated? Is it 49 cm or 50? I am referring to the distance you measured with a ruler. Thank you
18 gauge steel for outer panels and 16 guage for structural steel, i check on distances :)
Excellent workmanship. Shame no audio.....
plenty of music , just im not a big talker, id rather work :)
Was that diagonal slit againt the butt, at the top of the patch panel, to relieve tension? Hmm...
It was actually to release the peice of metal on the rear that I had cut alone but wanted to detach on the inside :) but good guess :)
One of the best cars I ever had . Pity the tin worms thought the same.
we will make it good again Phil :)
Work of art, how is it that this well built car got in that state, i have owned a few Beemers, and all they ask is good service and a dry aircon garage, not left out in the rage of uk weather and obvious corrosion,, peoiple in the north of "Europe" should not be allowed to own a fine car without the means to take care of it, they can have a pathetic e. scooter instead
People generally don't take as much care of the underneath of a car or panels as they should :)
Lovely work but are you not going to address the rusty bits that join?
yes when we get it on a ramp later :)
Are you based in Sheffield? Looking to get my Stag restored..
We are just outside scunthorpe :) we have a stag in atm that we are restoring and another one soon for rear end rust repair :)
If you need to contact us, if you send us an email on steve@yorkshire-car-restoration.co.uk with a contact number is we will call you :)
🤗👍👌👏
thank you :)
@@yorkshirecarrestoration You are welcome 🤗
Тут становиться понятно насколько хорошо в России ремонтируют машины
Yes the previous repair wasn't good.
What years is the BMW?
1986 :)
why don't you remove the internal rust? maybe with pressurized ice
100%
👍
14:20 почему не срезал или хотя бы не обточил старую ржавую кромку на арке крыла?
Watch the next few vids you will see that's tackled from underneath later.
