[@ptaylor5014]

Ryan i think it's about time you updated your merch to add the word "SITUATION" 😁😁

[@willemjordaan4108]

Yeah, put "SITUATION" on there.. 💪🤣

[@Morzsaszar]

Your best work yet on that offside rear corner. A joy to see it come together at last....😳🤔😏😀🇬🇧

[@mlgmounted9599]

E9 omg, what a beautiful cars you have back there guys, legends!

[@ChrisGallighan]

Yup watch Jonny smiths barn find and you will see that act e9 😊

[@andrewnewton5893]

Cracking fabrication take a bow takes so much skill to make panels like you have

[@romac9516]

Love watching the fabrication, that's some skill to know what tool to use next. Nice.

[@bobfrankish8883]

Fabulous job Ryan. There's not that many people could have tackled that at all, let alone do that good a job. Well done mate.

[@lessayers8653]

With all that excellent work "Auto Alex" is going to be rogering for years to come!

[@edwinfarquhar7000]

You're upping your game Ryan, it's been amazing watching the progression!

[@stevenwade5189]

Agreed 😅

[@JamesSmith-on8wx]

Nice fabrication that mate❤ that rear section looks like new

[@axzell2]

Love the fabrication of the rear corner. Excellent work.

[@paultaylor9652]

Back in the 1980's cars always rotted out more on the nearside, but now it seems the opposite, any ideas anyone? As always a very informative video Ryan and showing off your excellent skills.

[@IvanNovotný-x4x]

As always, professional and beautiful work. I look forward to the sequel....

[@ragnarironspear1791]

One of my favorite car channels on KZbin 👍🏻

[@davidmckinney6577]

Oh my God Ryan that was the most beautiful fabrication on the back panel I was reading in the comments section were people was saying that is art work and it is to put the panels back together ❤️ I know I said it before but I mean that is the most extremely extraordinary work I ever seen before man you are the best you and your dad Steve and the whole crew at YCR you guys are the best but I can see how you are captain yorkshire ..you are like a magician 🎩 good buddy Ryan I hope you and everyone has a wonderful blessed extremely good week ahead buddy. I wish I could jump through the television 📺 and help you work watching you has me on the edge of my seat watching..

[@simonvaughan1270]

Another great video with some sick music. 3 minutes in, love the music.

[@guzziwheeler]

Wow. Just wow. Ryan in transition from art to magic. Keep it up!

[@nathanjamescars]

I could not have done it better, it is a masteriece.

[@matthewgrice6902]

Thanks for the video.

[@stevenwade5189]

Man that is some job. I love the way you break it down into segments. I noted some finish polishing in the background. It would be nice, after all the effort put into this car. To see the finishing process 😊

[@stevenwade5189]

Simply a fantastic job😊

[@AMLagonda]

Looks so easy 🤨 😲 😁 what a great job that was

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Great work thank you for the video

[@Finne72]

Amazing artwork! I really should bring my B4 to you!

[@alistairuysal1858]

Incredible work as usual. You never cease to amaze me with your skills. If I had half your skills I’d be happy . And there would be a lot more cars in my garden for repair 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mjm7187]

Well done Ryan!

[@Cavalier_Steve]

Beautiful work as always Ryan! I wish I had the skills that you have, keep up the great work! Steve.

[@mverbaan3381]

Another video in which you make it seem sooo easy to fabricate new panels. Questions: -When you bend a part ( on 3:53 ) how do you know what radius it has to have? (How) do you measure it? -Why didn't you use the rotary on this E30 touring? It seems to me that is much more ergonomic, and you will still have to go for a lot of years. -Maybe i have missed it, but how do you know that the cars you are working on are straight /have not been in a severe crash? It would be a pity if al the hard work is in vane when you discover that the chassis is crooked when the sheet metal is tight. Thank you and YCR for another video!

[@ThomasJakob-b9b]

Immer wieder 🥰👍

[@garethmillar6685]

I always wonder who makes that finger folder as I seriously need one? Great video as ever.

[@steveworth544]

Another superb video

[@1dogMrTheno]

Hi Ryan, your work on this project is quit technical a lot of shaping shrinking and welding in all the usual places were water gets trapped and creates the dreaded rot! The more you dig the more you find! So far so good pal! Your father taught you well all you have to do is improve on what you were taught which you are no doubt! What you are tackling at the moment is more technical than some of the work you do! All good viewing for us who follow the show❤

[@Nostalgiaengineering]

I really like the green pedestal you have for drilling holes. Where did you get it / what was it before?

[@llmikeyj1]

Damn that's good. Well done.

[@DanRoper-ex2vy]

Top job Ryan

[@BEYTEK]

etch or epoxy primer whats your favorite?

[@joegibbo]

Great vid as always. Curious to know where Colin’s BMW has got to though? 🤔👍🏻

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

There was a video on that 7 days ago.

[@tomswindler64]

Very nice,you doing your magic.great video as always.keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@r-joule]

Interested to know what thickness the steel is you use for body panels? Nice work Ryan

[@lolsovs]

14:50 sweet a Manta... You dont see those often anymore.

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

the e30 Touring is rare as hens teeth in the US, prices average 20-25k with some rust since they are imported from UK. The coupe also is popular and prices have soared

[@Afraz_9n3]

That's interesting considering in the UK E30 tourings can be had from £6k needing rust work like Roger. And a decent one is £8 - 10k. Suppose whoevers imported it to the US needs to recoup the import costs i imagine it'd be quite pricey

[@danielwatson2910]

Good video

[@Riothamus]

I see on some of the other YCR vids, the music you use is linked in the description but I've not seen it in any of the Roger vids, any chance of popping that in please?

[@guzziwheeler]

Pleeeeease not! I hate this computer generated "music".

[@GT380man]

Fingers crossed it’s a Geoff car! Edit: I’ve seen the incoming car & it’s perfect and appropriate for Yorkshire Car Restoration.

Have you come across any other weld primer just as good as upol if I keep going at £25 a tin it’s gunna cost me as much as me project 😂😂 loving the videos keep them coming

[@bobfrankish8883]

Here's the thing. I'm only a humble DIY'er, but I've restored 3 cars now, and I didn't really get on with Upol weld through. Probably just me. Another excellent channel to check out is Dave's Garage. He has tested lots of primers and swears by Halfords weld through. I've not much more welding to do now, but I've been using it and it seems great for the cost. Bear in mind YCR are sponsored by Upol.

[@garethmillar6685]

As above re Dave and Halfords weld through primer.

[@stepeat2991]

@@bobfrankish8883I watched that vid yesterday how mad and went and got me self a few tins at half the price it’s a no brainer cheers matey

[@Supercharged-G60]

😊I would like you guys to restore my 1983 polo saloon gl needs some tlc and restoring if possible needs welding around the fuel tank and sills section and abit of bodywork all around who I need to contact love to see my car on channel 😀it is currently sorn at the moment I am amazed how much work you do on all these cars

[@Juntasification]

What's the point of wirewheeling the welds when they are being grind off anyway?

[@iwanevans607]

Could just be a case of seeing how bad the damage is, they may not need to cut as much out after wire-wheeling.

[@bobfrankish8883]

It's so you can see the quality of the weld. It's easy to miss a bit or have some pin holes when all the soot is left on. Best to rectify before grinding if possible.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

As bob said :) 👍

[@handhwiegman8115]

Nice backhanded spot weld job there… next you’ll be doing left handed reverse welds behind your back.

[@SheardTV1]

Always wonder where your welding stick is? Not that I know what a welding stick does….i just thought you needed one?

Can i ask not supporting the rear of the car with a stand surely putting tension in the body Thanks peter

[@moplum]

Ryan, for content, would you take a couple scrap pieces. Weld them as you do for a customers finished piece. Grind the weld as you would to finish a piece. Cut in half cross section in several places to demonstrate that you are, or are not getting full penetration with your welds.

I do not like being negative! I ordered a T shirt and beanie hat from your merch store. I have sent three emails and have not heard anything at all in regards to when the items will be delivered. I do like to support channels like Yorkshire Car Restoration. Please have the decency to get back to me please, to let me know when delivery is likely. Many thanks.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Your email has been answered three times. Please check your spam box, basicly it was answered saying Ryan is a little bit behind due to suppliers and if required a refund will be issued if you can't wait. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for your quick response, Now I know you are awaiting delivery on some of your merch, I shall wait until you receive them. many thanks.

That music, if you could call it music in the early part of the video is annoying and a distraction. Great fabrication work though.

amazingly accutate job on the under back plate ryan, but i think you are enjoying yourself too much, working with many members of your family i bet you have a howl every day...
