thanks for the videos! saying a vpn makes you safe is as accurate as saying a car is rust free! safeR yes but not safe it is possible to circumvent the securities of a vpn. please do not take my assertion as fact find out the truth for yourself.

Good to see new sponsors on the channel! You're doing great work guys, keep it up!

[@darrenparker7318]

Gents, don't engage with users complaining about ads in your comments. There will always be a small set of viewers who flounce off over ads, many more recognise the need to balance content production with running a business. Keep up the authenticity, depth of content and presentation.

[@mobiousenigma]

@@darrenparker7318in general i agree with you...what right have any of us to complain about how providers pay for our free content? having said that any vpn cannot ensure "safety" and most of the free to play games sponsoring have the ethics which allow usage of government funded study into addiction and gambling to design there "specials or perks or whatever hook there is to get money" . while complaining about sponsorship is crass care should be given in accepting them .

[@RustyShackleford97]

It's funny how many people watching KZbin for free get so upset with channels that are able to get sponsored like they actually think the labor, material and everything is free for the creators??? Please these people have families, bills and much much more than what we ever see or know. Congratulations on all the success.

[@SheardTV1]

They don’t charge their customers then?

[@rfrancois1707]

@@SheardTV1sounds as though you would prefer they didn’t make the videos

[@RustyShackleford97]

I don't work for the company, and don't know for certain but as I do understand as I've followed the channel they have paying customers the uncle and so forth do and the father and son do the KZbin side. I would assume the channels income pays for the KZbin rebuilds would be what the in channel ads are very important. They aren't putting it into the content to make anyone mad or discouraged people from viewing its to keep making content for us viewers that watch freely.

[@T3glider]

Stop pandering.

[@RustyShackleford97]

@T3glider You couldn't be more wrong your trollism should have been directed to someone else less intelligent. But this is the comment section and I love a healthy debate even if it gets heated. Tell me do you know where the wire should be for the perfect weld and at what angle is desired for the right amount of root penatration should it be blue and flakey? What are the SOP's for any Op to make a Mercedes Benz FAC or anything to do with what degree is a perfect bend for a body panel or the curvature of any body panel? What is the correct way to weld with copper in a government facility? Your answer without looking for an answer from degenerative tiktok or Google is waiting.

[@MONabas1988]

Never imagined a car this bad could have been restored to such a perfect state... what an incredible workmanship... I am stunned.. keep up the good work

[@wizardvega724]

Dont listen to the haters, real fans of the channel are happy to see you get a sponsorship! You deserve itn

Congrats on getting sponsors!! 🎉 I’m so glad they’re coming through - doing KZbin full time isn’t easy and definitely requires some financial backing! So glad to see this and looking forward to all of the future builds too!

Thank you, much appreciated!

I've been waiting a while to see this Mat Armstrong's car done. The amount of work you have put into this car is outstanding. the fabrication skills you show are top class. It's really enjoyable to see someone wanting to do a job correctly, and yo do that in spades .....

[@FindingAmerica]

Great job doing the promotion and excellent work on the fenders! Enjoy watching guys!

[@RobYourSocks]

There is something majestic about watching your work, it’s so peaceful fabrication, I’m sure it has its difficulties but what is portrayed onto the camera is pure enjoyment! You are a very skilled expert at what you do, and I wish you all the best moving forwards on these amazing projects. I shall be following for a long time to come. Thank you for the entertainment!

[@bernarddalbeck2199]

What a journey this cars been on it’s been one of the best refurbished video on metal fabrication, and the journeys many stages will continue.

[@philtucker1224]

Total recreation in metal. What a wonderful thing to watch and marvel at. YCR and Retropower cars are a pair of what are clearly some of Britain’s very best restorers. Absolute poetry in skill.

[@mwade6982]

amazing job guys👏👏. Can't wait to watch Mat complete the restoration.

[@1chish]

I am OK with welding in complete panels and even supplied repair panels but this is metalworking on another level. Just a pleasure to watch. I am itching to know who will do the car rebuild though?

[@RestoHubAU]

Congratulations on getting the sponsors! Its a long haul and will help reward you for your awesome efforts putting up great content up. 😎

[@seanfarrell6009]

Fantastic to see a new sponsor on the channel i hope it helps you and you are able to continue with your excellent videos

[@MatthewCornish]

Love seeing all this work being done - very cool - thank you for sharing :)

[@andytoole9729]

I caught the I think first video of Matt’s BMW34 and couched watch all that I could find of that Vlog. At first I thought u were just a cheeky lad with a bit of humor. But to my surprise u ARE the most entertaining intelligent hilarious restorers I’ve come across on KZbin!! Dang you are creative. Very creative and extremely entertaining. Can’t wait for more ……..

[@ianhighley-zo3es]

[@jimhartland1939]

​@@yorkshirecarrestorationdid Matt bring Jack up for a inspection when he was over. I hope so. Show them boys over the pond what craftsmanship is about, not plod plowing like is the norm over there

[@mverbaan3381]

You keep me amazed how you recreate a panel that is only slightly curved and make it fit. It is flexible so it wants to go back to a plane, flat piece of metal, and yet you somehow persuade it in the shape BMW's designers wanted it. Makes me think: how did the fabricators in the prototype phase at BMW (or any other car manufacturer) this, without a reference other than the drawings of the designers? Thans again!

[@fredrik3863]

Great work as always. Every time you’re using the angel grinder I freeze up, as you removed the cutting guard. It’s called the Death Wheel for a reason. Please be careful!

[@kevinmccormack5192]

You and your dad are sooooooo good at this 👍.well probably the family. Superb.👏

[@Human_Resource]

So what is the good reason for not replacing the wing with a new one? You said you was going to answer the question but never did?

[@aussieseanc]

I'm gonna guess they wouldn't have as much content if they simply replaced panels !

[@bobstacey9311]

More like unobtainium, might find one in a specialised breakers, but likely to be just as rusted

[@Paul-oi9vr]

The same question. There are lots of them for sale.

[@Sandorr82]

I think he love his job and like to fix thinks,also could be quality of the new panels

[@sufletzelul17]

If you guys have lots for sale let me know i might buy them all if they are new. I was quoted 1500£ for a pair of front wings (patched and welded) 🤦

Love this, a true craftsman. If I ever win the lottery I’m getting these guys to restore a mk 2 escort van so I can make an rs turbo van! My dream car from when I was a kid 30 years ago 🤣

Hey Ryan, I really like your style of videos! I would like to see some tutorial kind of videos. Where you explain in detail, step by step how you do repair patches for example. I do some rust repairs on my own BMW's what I learned myself to do. I am really interested in your pro tips etc! 😁

[@tubbst2367]

Love the channel, fascinating, can you tell me where the music is from

[@IDKWhyMe]

Few tracks I recognised from The Ambientalist.

[@RoyS-ld7xu]

Another excellent video, well done. So why do you repair rather than buy replacment wings..I must have missed it.

[@Tezzzaaa]

Same question from me. I'm gonna guess it's a metal quality/thickness issue. Plus fabricating beats fitting new for content maybe? (Could be also to make people rewind rewatch the vid)

[@JohnHonda101]

Masterpiece.

[@rabnawazkhan1837]

👌 true craftsmanship capt yorkshire.one thing I don't understand you blanked off indicator holes is this going to be exported after?

[@silvermane9370]

Ryan’s also built a roll cage iirc. I’d say Mat intends something motorsport for it possibly. Or it’s getting some kind of mod makeover.

[@tonymousley8253]

& not a single 'new' panel was added, all fabricated, my question (this maybe has been answered in another comment, somewhere in the playlist) how many hours labour did it take to complete the full rust removal/repair? And you must have the patience of a saint, nice work.

[@mariangabriel947]

Did he say why they don’t just buy new panels?

I don't think he did, and I still watched the ad. I didn't want to but that's moves like this that'll convince me to install one of these plugins that automatically skips product placements and ads embedded in the videos.

[@Kapparie]

You didn’t explain why you don’t just buy new wings. Or did I miss it?

[@rfrancois1707]

I was thinking the same

[@martinhigson7926]

I think I remember from an earlier vid that unless they can source genuine parts (which by default have had to have been stored for a considerable time), the newer after market ones are of a lighter gauge metal (of sometimes questionable quality) so not suitable for a ‘proper’ restoration. But ……. I may be wrong 😅

[@1240enzo]

If you are watching the restoration of Tally Ho by Leo and his team (Sampson boat co), one would all know about Surfshark from their advert skit, The Duchess of Desire on the BBSea 😆😆!!

[@georgeclements2742]

It's been a really good series, but I'm looking forward to watching the progress on the other projects, especially the Porsche and the Mazda, but I hope you find time eventually to finish the Suzuki. And, of course, the never-ending saga of the Disaster Datsun. Best wishes.
