Remarkable shaping of that partial floor plate.

Steve this is a work of art that is a awesome jacking point for the car stronger than new.. I wasn't able to watch this yesterday I found out my brother was in the hospital and not doing well he has heart failure and covid and pneumonia but is doing better today slowly improving he always was in good condition better than me I don't understand it, he lives 16 hours away from me in another state so I'm not able to drive that far with my leg problems but so glad he is doing better his name is Steve also . Take care and God bless you all tell Ryan I said hello 👋 and everyone there to that ol Davie from the US says hello 👋.

@@yorkshirecarrestorationSeriously, do you memorise the 3D shape while you’re forming it? It looks like the metalwork equivalent of the cabbies “knowledge”.

[@sociopathicnarcissist8810]

You must love your job. You get to come in knowing what you want to get done for the day, remove the rust until you have clean metal, craft and fettle a part until it fits, weld it in, paint it and then go home with the satisfaction of a job well done. Few of us have that satisfaction in the work that we do.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

I do love my job :)

[@nealnaz]

After watching many of your videos, you never cease to amaze. Not that it will ever happen, have you ever wondered if auto builders watch the repairs you do, to help them figure out how to better build cars to help prevent them from rusting out? They actually never will, but I think of how over time they now make exhaust systems out of stainless and thereby last a much longer life.

[@ronniewilson6597]

Guy’s, this is not a jacking point on the e24, its not a load bearing point, thats why your repairing it. The jacking points are the sills, one a bit further back from your repair and the other one near the rear arch. The inner front frame rails are also not load bearing as you can see from the dents in them. 👍🏻

Doing a nissan maxima for a dealer this week - sweet Lord.. there's rusty & then there's maxima rusty. Absolute sod to work on & we only have a week to get it done. Best part is another place did a lot of the "cutting out" of the rust then chucked the towel in as it proved a beast to weld on. So we got it chopped full of socking big holes.... oh great... Tight work on that floor Steve - very nice.

This one supposedly has 3 bells & eight whistles.. we'll see. :-) Might take some of the absolute monotony out of sorting this ball of dung nissan. :-) If it turns out to be a crap welder, then possibly not.. but the reviews are solid.. unless they're all fake/left by eejits.. Other "Upside" is when everyone else has abandoned the "project", the price becomes very flexible. :-) :-)

[@GT380man]

Steve, was the car originally galvanised or otherwise coated in the factory? Cars of the 70s rusted while you watched. Nowadays they die of old age often with few flaws in the monocoque. I guess they could have made then all last much longer but that would do nothing for new car sales!

I bet this damage was caused unknowingly by a previous owner who was teaching his teenager to drive and he deformed the metal by smashing down on the floorboard in multiple states of panic, in hopes it would somehow stop or slow the car down. I know the floor pan in my past hyundai didn't fare too well after teaching two girls how to drive . LOL

Steve, I think you need to do your content more like Josh, have some interaction with your audience explaining what's the issues are and what your going to do and carry out, yeah okay we all know what your doing, but some stop and chat would be nice, rather than just a lot of time lapsing etc..... Your workmanship is outstanding just would like to hear you chat, it would just break up the monotony of the video, also loose the intro , one seen is enough...😢
