Another installment of furious welding! I'm surprised you haven't lost the will to live with all you've had to do lately!

[@furiousdriving]

It is slipping away a bit...

[@habsom1406]

Truly a tour de force! This man has the British Bulldog spirit, unwavering, dogged, determination, nothing will stop this persistent individual. Better welding in the sun and dry I guess, rather than in the rain or freezing snow. This car is going to be stronger than a tank when you've finished, certainly as heavy 😁. Might be easier to lift the body off the chassis, a la Range Rovers. 😎

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I love that you’re taking the time to bring her back! While it sucks that someone mislead you, in my weird opinion wrenching on a car and making it your own kinda connects you to the vehicle more then a car that you just get in and drive. Rock on amigo!

[@eddierools]

Man, can't say that I'm envious of you welding in blistering heat! But it shows how much you truly care about your P71 and want to get it back on the road! Hopefully it shouldn't be too much hassle when tackling those other nasty spots of rust, and I wish you luck with that! I'm currently trying to motivate myself and my relatives to work on our own cars and get them road worthy again this year.

[@roseybut]

Considering you're a professional photographer your panel beating/welding is very impressive. As a H&S professional myself in an engineering workshop (burn, weld, grind) I cringe when you wield a grinder. Severed digits, limbs and arteries are a real hazard. As I very much enjoy your channel I do not wish to see you hurt. Please consider not holding the item your grinding in your hands but clamp it in a vice/workmate. If that disc kicks back there may not be any more Furious welding/driving. I know, I Know bloody H&S kill joys but I've seen too many bad injury's not to say anything. Brilliant channel and I want it to continue.

[@Ragnar8504]

A mate of mine just had two weeks off sick until his thumb had healed after a piece of sheet metal caught on the drill press. So yes, it's a real thing! KZbinr CT Moog has a lovely (unintentional) safety demonstration on his channel. In one of the earlier Beetle repair videos he tried to drill holes into some sheet metal without clamping it. The drill caught, the metal started spinning, hit a can of WD40, bashed a hole into the can and the can set off like a rocket, flying at least three metres through the shop.

[@Landie_Man]

At least he wears goggles and ear plugs. Most of us don’t.

[@paultaylor9652]

Well done Matt, you've worked hard in the heat of the day, and when it's finished you'll know it solid and safe.

[@davidnelson7149]

Just a word of advice old chap, if any of those sparks land on the glass of the car they'll burn in and stick; and the first time it rains or you wash her, they'll rust and you'll have lots of horrible brown flecks in the affected area. Chuck a bed sheet over the roof old son!

[@jonathanthorpe1653]

After watching your last video, I purchased one of them strong arm, bending tools. I must admit it’s saved me absolutely hours. Previously I was messing around on the floor with blocks of wood and big hammers. Consider purchasing one of them step drills.They are brilliant on thin sheet metal. You are definitely doing a cracking job. I think next month you will soon be ready for the MOT 🎉

[@terryatkinson899]

Only a bit jealous of the bender tool, how can i sneak one of them into the shed without herself moaning about me buying more tools 🤔👍🇮🇪

[@alansimpson835]

I'm with you Matt. Im a 14 degrees and a breeze type person. You're making brilliant progress. It must feel so good seeing things go back on in volume rather than having to grind stuff off all the time

[@brianiswrong]

Same here, give me 16 degrees and a breeze, call it summer and iam good.

[@TK42138]

That curved end on the front of the inner sill looks a lot less daunting if you use a pen to highlight the 'lines' of the part. It makes it easier to visualise what the shape of the patch panel or sections need to be. Highly recommend watching Fitzee's Fabrications for learning how to make complex shapes in several parts using just hand tools.

[@TK42138]

One technique to replicate pressed indentations in a sill panel, inner strengthener etc is either by marking out the shape on the panel using a Sharpie then hammering over an open vice where the vice jaws are open slightly wider than the width of the feature you're replicating or using a socket and a big bit of rubber sheet, floor mat etc and squeezing the lot between vice jaws.

[@charliecoco2115]

Using a disc cutter while resting the metal on your knee, I had to look away!

[@jamescoe764]

It's getting there. I bet some of the car is pretty rough from new...

[@carfella7994]

Thank god you can weld!! Otherwise it would be a lot costlier. I still love this car though! ❤

[@mrfairsthename7470]

Often the case after reeling with shock , before you found the plan of action , but once you get going things take shape . it strikes me you need a Planishing hammer and a hand Dolly with at least two flat sides that you can hold behind seams to support coaxing with said hammer so you can shape bits and push metal in to corners , get one with a finishing pick back end that is flat chisel like ,I found that best for teasing metal in to corners , getting stuff flat and tapping around things like your mole grips .

[@TheSiruncle]

I don't know if anyone's suggested this, but for the corrugated bits on the inner sills, you may be able to stitch the easy to get at, flat bits on, then use the ball end of a hammer to knock any recessed bits in. The metal will stretch a little, but that can be used to your advantage. Bit late for side number one, but might work for the other side?

[@Landie_Man]

Today (Thursday 15th June) Was perfect weather for car work. I was battling through it around midday no problems at all. I want more heat! I was doing a gearbox removal.

[@fugawiaus]

Haha, blistering heat? Try this in summer here in Australia. Nice job so far Matt.

[@charlessmillie8774]

Hi dude love your videos been a subscriber for a long great work but please don't use the grinder next to your legs I've seen a horrible accident involving a grinder and a main archery 😢 All the best. Chas.

[@TheCounty90]

If it helps Matt I am welding together a Discovery 1 ES 3.9. The amount of rust I found yesterday was stupendous after taking off the wing, the whole footwell was just iron ore. I don’t know why we do it? We just can’t give up on them! Focus on the memories it will make.

[@furiousdriving]

Id live an early Disco, even thinking of swapping the Freelander for one but thats exactly what I fear finding!

[@TheCounty90]

@@furiousdriving If you do take the plunge there are companies in the UK like YRM and "Easy on panels" that make the job so much easier.

Good to see you're not letting it beat you Matt. I'm certainly not a fan of working on the driveway, but you make it look easy! Keep up the good work.

[@cktyu]

I'd like to point out that its impressive youre able to shape the metal to follow the uneven cuts on the body

Hey it’s beautiful. It’s awesome you’re taking care of it. I have a crown Vic that needs wiring love. They’re worth saving and keeping on the road.

[@RobertBlow]

To be fair Mat, my initial impression was that this car was too far gone. I will take my hat off, you are putting in the work and learning along the way hopefully with a solid car at the end.. Good job.

[@michaeltutty1540]

Watching this, and you talking about the corrugation, I am wondering if the piece you are putting in should be straight, only spot welded where they meet. That would allow condensation to drip out. The sills are meant to have water flow down from the cowl vent and drop out the bottom of the pinch weld. Since those two layers you are working on are the two inner layers of the pinch weld, it may be that they should not be sealed.

[@furiousdriving]

The vertical parts didnt touch before, there was always at least 5mm between the inner and outer sills, at the bottom (horizontal) it was a tight sandwich, but that seems to have been a source of rust as it was unpainted and corroded between the layers. I will drill drain holes in the base of the inner to drain out, so it will still allow water to get out

[@Speedscholars]

Please don’t cut resting on your leg! Great persistence though 👏🏻

[@james011974]

Good advice 👍

[@anthonystevens8683]

Nice one Matt, I have to admire your perseverance, top marks. With the recent weather it's definitely worth wearing a hat but as you mention it's not worth destroying a decent one when sparky is active.

[@MrPabsUk]

Well done, its progress! Gonna be difficult to work out how the end is supposed to be without it being there! You may be able to find an exploded diagram in a parts list to give you some idea! Also, are you going to attempt to weld up the outer front wing bottom? Would be a good way to practice more cosmetically important type welding!

Have you ever done a welding course or have you learnt on the go? You're very brave. My Old man had gotten Arc-eye I was his seeing dog for a few weeks when I was a nipper.

[@vfrbore1728]

Sensible question - do you ever get any flack from your neighbours with the power tool usage? I have a chap near me who seems to be utterly obsessed with cutting wood with a power saw nearly every weekend and I could sometimes cheerfully throttle him because one of my gardens is unusable due to noise.

[@Danthecapriman]

Fair play Matt! Welding in that sort of heat is no fun at all! It’s getting there though👍

[@terryatkinson899]

Who else on here is struggling on d driveway in the heat?? Me, taking the car to bits changing a clutch, no welding yet... found a little hole in my cinquecento that needs playing with and I haven't got a posh welder like Matt 😭 The harder it is, the more satisfaction there is when it's all done (I tell myself).

[@danielletheprotogen]

Probably teaching your granny to suck eggs. 3:32 . If you hold new paint/primer spray cans upside down once you're done with them and spray for a second or two to use a bit of propellant to clear the nozzle, it will spray much better the next time you come to use it.
