Looks amazing guys! Thanks so much!

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It looks like a totally different car! Thanks Mat

[@Michaellipmanactor]

It wasn’t a car before you did this absolutely genius transformation! You are living proof that you can ‘Polish a Turd!’ You are true artists. I tip my hat to you.

[@graemecross6850]

What's the plan, Mat? Engine & drive train from a newer M6! A Classic look sleeper.

[@RedDelSol]

These boys are not messing around. Fantastic job guys!!! 😮

[@stabizisback]

@@graemecross6850 sigh

[@tspawn35]

The rust removal and repairs are so seamless it doesn't even look like any work was actually done to it. That's ridiculously impressive.

[@melbice9906]

My thoughts exactly. Now it’s all one colour the quality of the rust repairs becomes way more obvious. Outstanding work!

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Just for the record, please go watch episode 3 of this build on MAT'S channel. He mentioned towards the end that he wanted it powdercoating. I took that and made it happen without actually saying I was going to. So for the people petty name calling towards me, saying ive ruined his car, please dont bother. Also thanks for all the epic comments. It turned out very well!

[@bz849]

You and your dad are very highly skilled men and the jobs in your videos speak words in themselves top class job done MAT ARMSTRONG should be very very happy with the end result

[@natsterjam]

Hey guys, great job! In my humble opinion,,,,, just ignore the negative comments, they aren't worth your energy. Keep em coming guys, really looking forward to Mr Furze's Beemer emerging from your workshops. Peace 👊

[@yamangalongwe7419]

Your work is top tier

[@MrSteveBertone]

Your work is fantastic, I think powder coating was the icing on the cake.. flawless delivery all round

[@paulcruse]

“The internet” will argue over two puppies playing. Powder coat the steering wheel 😁

[@sleepysamk1400]

I hope Mr Armstrong appreciates all the hard work that these boys have done 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🔥🔥🔥

[@georgehearn2024]

He doesnt

[@tonysmall3863]

My only fear is he’ll ruin it with loads of chavy mods, wrap etc etc.

[@matthewwilliams5253]

how many shout outs from him? like zero or zero?

[@PetSKi67]

I think the deficist on shout-outs is due an aggreement not to talk about it, while under construction. Could be totally wrong, but YCR has done a fabulous job in filling the MA BMX box of rust!

[@twismjj]

@@matthewwilliams5253he comments on every upload and they use his name in every video which is massive for growth. When mat puts it back on his channel and does before and after he will shout them out no end

[@GT380man]

Ryan, I am SO badly going to miss you prancing around, telling us “THIS is Mat Armstrong’s E24….”. Please don’t leave it too long before taking on a mega project. Your work is addictive watching.

Don't worry Colin Furze has brought another one in. Lol.

[@shsh-he5qg]

Guys it’s insane you guys are not more known ! You could be some of the worlds finest car restores no joke ! Have not seen anyone going down to this level ! You could really do some internationally amazing builds worth millions ! Can’t believe Matt don’t plug you guys ! First time I came across you guys ! You guys are on a different level to him, heck different planet even ! If you guys got right people behind you ! You boys would blow up worldwide I’m telling you, not seen anything like this on KZbin on this level !

They have more than doubled their subscriber count since starting this car, so it's working.

[@Danrw44]

Ryan your sense of satisfaction seeing all this come together must be a good feeling. And shoring your great work to the world just an added bonus. Well done - it’s been a pleasure to see the journey and a real eye opener to see the hard work, talent and dedication that goes into the jobs you take on at YCR. Hope business goes up n up. Here’s to an even better 2024. Cheers.

[@sajedb]

I have only two words: Impeccable job.

[@cemoto15]

Absolutely awesome, fantastic work , watched every step . You need some major appreciation from Matt ❤️

[@Dadeets]

Why would Matt appreciate the work? Who is he?

[@BluesterCrispy]

@@Dadeetsit matt armstrong car! He let them do the work for him lol

[@bradleyhill3797]

Are they doing it for free then?

[@Dadeets]

It’s whose car? If ya gonna try being smart get the name right - boils my piss it do.

[@Dadeets]

ONE EFFIN T - not bloody hard ffs

[@kenlwray]

What an epic transformation/restoration Ryan. Hats off to you

[@jeff1176]

I can't imagine a small fender bender repair would be easy with the powder coating. Sounds great if it's a trailer queen show car. Daily driver, it seems impractical. Nice work to be sure.

[@georgehearn2024]

Thats a good point

[@chrishart8548]

I thought powder coat cracked if it was used on a chassis. Didn't people start to powder coat tubular chassis on sports / kit cars and it ended really badly and just cracked at All the joints

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Depends on the materials used . Some coatings appear to me softer than others

[@thegrimreaper7777]

My first thought was Nope! Most powder coating I've seen has flaked off once it gets chipped and lets rust form beneath the coating.

[@RichInRibeyes]

Just beautiful work Ryan. Really well done 👏🏼 I can't wait to see Mat put this all back together 😎

[@Redsmeg68]

Going back to the shell and bringing back these cars in my mind is a massive service to automotive heritage. They should be kept on the road and enjoyed and protecting them this way is the best way to ensure their longevity. Not to mention they just look sublime

[@colinbrooks6290]

Hi guys, what can I say….. beautiful car….. absolute amazing restoration…. There were moments when I didn’t think you could do it and moments when you ask why ! What craftsmanship 🔨⚒️🎉💥👍🫵🏻

[@alandeakin3533]

WOW WOW WOWser what an absolutely stunning finish, it doesn't get any better than this from top guys on their A-game, and I'm sure Mat will pick up the baton and make it the envy of the BMW fraternity. I've loved every minute of the series and can't get enough, so am happy you have loads of other projects on the go.

[@Theoriginalvabo]

What a job you done ! That chassie is as good if not even better then when it came out the factory. Really impresive 👍

[@TheTorkerman]

Powdercoat shrinks back as it bakes and will show every little imperfection, if you are willing to powdercoat this, then you must do impeccable work!! Looking forward to seeing this one finished lads

[@Gorbyrev]

Beautiful work Ryan, great job.

[@ColinPrince]

What a absolutely beautiful job finishing the rusty shell you started off with. Congratulations fellas, as long as Mat doesn’t want to put his crazy wrap over it!

[@Chadkn]

Been watching most of the other cars that you do as well and it's just amazing on the amount of work you do so incredible and the craftmanship outstanding like factory but better !! Love all the work you do seriously amazing !!

You are right, it's a new car. Amazing job guys..

I cannot believe that all these videos you have completed on Mat's car and he has never once interacted on your work .... amazing results Ryan, your craftsmanship does not show anywhere on the final powdercoat, which is a testament to your amazing skill.

[@rufinoacosta9289]

Amazing Job guys ...James is a Master at work...congratulations...also the rust repair is immaculate!

[@martinsbalodis333]

It looks amazing, BUT, how about powdercoat durability against flexing, would it not get cracked? To remove powdercoat to fix something after, is going to be an absolute hell for someone to fix.

[@callyk5678]

I was thinking that, also having to drill into it and not chipping chunks off. But I’ve no experience whatsoever with power coat and sure he knows what he’s doing

[@macstar8317]

Great work so far!

[@EmD20v]

Work is insane 👌🏽

[@Godscountry2732]

Beautifully done.

[@performanceworld02]

Looks brilliant lads well done

[@WEZ4136]

I feel for the powder coated, I’ve done that job and hated big chassis’s because they just cool too fast and you never see the results you really want to, it’s a good job and will do just fine, but not to your personal standard expectations. It did come out the oven looking good though so well done 👍

[@GaIvatr0n]

So much effort has been put in and it shows. A job well done, such impressive work and passion.

[@maqboolkhatieb6988]

This project is going to be sick AF 😍 well done lads on turning this thing from rust to riches 😅

[@andreholmlund1981]

The powdercoat looks good, but i have been doing such work in the past, its a big risk on a sheetmetal carbody, moisture can creep up under the paint and make it rust and rot more so then a traditional paintjob, seen such corrosion on trailer chassies. It could use some additonal rust protection inside where one cant see or reach. Awsome fab and metal work though.

[@GoneKayaking]

Legend. What a job

[@martf9875]

Great job guys ,, Used to do powder coating for a living ,, 👌

WOW .. !! The powder coating makes it look like a brand new car straight from the factory . Note - wasn't sure if Camera angle/reflection but at 17:02 sunroof top side whats the blemish mark ? is it tape ? This has been a great project + loved every moment

[@andrewwood6728]

The exterior bodywork is being painted, so hasn't been prepped/filled etc.. yet...

[@blakamin]

You sir, are a legend!

[@garybarnett764]

Excellent, can you use any sort of seam sealer with the powder-coat process?

[@suffolkseries3319]

Not sure about powder coating a shell. Is this the best for longevity? It looks good but will it last?

[@kristianbjrge3209]

I was thinking the same. Lawnmower decks(usually powdercoated) is shit

[@brunorosa2227]

"back in the day" - sound like an old person - we used to get in plastic coated bike frames that were generally horrible and the only way to remove said rubbish was blast/mechanical scraping/blast /mech/blast/mech etc etc until clean, it wasn't fun but on a bike frame, just about doable, on a car, nope, in the bin. Is modern powder coated different ?

[@craigmorgan4676]

Sheesh, finally after the 1000 hours of derusting this absolute disaster beemer,to it finally getting painted!Gg Ryan!😬😬🤔👌🙏🙏👍💪💪

[@georgejulius9961]

An idea to Mat, when this project will be revealed, is to do a huge public reveal and it should be done, first on your channel and then a week later on Mat's channel. He's still gonna get the views on his video even if the reveal is done here on Yorkshire Car Restoration. George Julius, Cape town, South Africa.

[@davidjanes99]

The workmanship in these videos is incredible, truly entertaining and that car will be better than new once completed.
