Ford Escort Audi S3 Chassis Swop Ep19 Rust Repairs And Bulkhead

[@dhes2809]

Mate. You have got some serious fabrication skills going on there.

[@Tdevil86]

I’m putting it more down to luck and determination over skill, I’m honestly just winging it here, I have no idea what I’m doing lol how Iv pulled off most of what Iv done still baffles me 🤣🤣 it’s been a great experience learning though and I honestly recommend anyone to have a go themselves, it’s amazing what we’re all capable of if we apply ourselves to it!

[@trevorwoods2580]

Mighty job Terry. The work you are putting into that shell is first class. Well done.

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks Trevor, it’s starting to come together now mate 😬

[@dhes2809]

Been looking forward to this. Thought you had given up.

[@Tdevil86]

Oh god no, this is getting done! Uploads will probably slow down a little during summer though so I can spend time with the family while it’s nice…

[@jonathanpounsett4875]

I had the same concern. I’m glad you’re going to see it through.

[@Tdevil86]

As far as I’m concerned chaps, I’m going to see this thing through until the end, how long that’ll take I don’t know but I will get there, it’s all just time and more importantly, money at this point, the fab work is great, it’s not costing me a great deal, but it’ll all slow down once I need to start spending on everything, 3 projects does nothing good for a bank balance lol

[@MrPowermanmatt]

Hi Terry dont worry about the heater box just fit a heated windscreen less waight 👌👍

[@Tdevil86]

I hadn’t even thought about that, I think I pulled a heated screen out of it to be honest 🤔 it’ll on track or on the road in summer months so a heater isn’t really needed to be fair… Good shout! 🍻

[@neilfairless4589]

Lovely long video Terry, cheers mate. Really enjoying your work fella.

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks Neil 🍻

[@RWDcosworthRSTurboEscort]

That bulkhead looks awesome 👍🏻

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks man, I’m really made up with how that turned out to be honest!

[@stephengirling7859]

Awesome job Terry!

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks dude 🍻

[@The-truth-is-valuable.]

Terry, you know, you did well. Quality work. The worst part? No one will realy see it. But I envy you for this build: I would not mind having something like this myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@Tdevil86]

Yeh it’s a bummer really man but it’s all part and parcel I guess, I still need to install a wiper motor there yet aswel so that’ll hide it all even more. You should have a go at building something, I had no metal fab/welding experience prior to building this car, everyone is capable of doing it!

[@michaelhodgson3833]

A simple ' Thank-you ' Mr. Moore, been waiting not too patiently I'm afraid, "cough" ......

[@Tdevil86]

Haha, sorry, I’m not the most consistent uploader I’m afraid, not very good at replying to comments either so it seems 😶🔫🤣

[@ahwootton5]

Don't give up your day job - if it's welding and fabrication, great skills mate. Hope your mate liked your handy work! Great video.

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks buddy, I’m actually a plumber lol and yeh, he found it amusing, it’s been an ongoing gag with me putting it up in random places and him taking it back down lol actually going to frame it next 🤣

[@stephenhill5514]

Absolutely fantastic fabrication job 😎 top video really enjoyed watching the progress well done indeed 👍

[@Tdevil86]

Glad you enjoyed it mate, thank you!

[@richardbritton5703]

Absolutely loving your channel, I have a 96 mk6 RS2000 4x4 and this channel is encouraging me to get started

[@Tdevil86]

Do it! It’s the best thing Iv ever done! Iv learnt soo much from just having a go! It’s only metal so it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work out the first time, you can always redo it… Where are you based?

[@richardbritton5703]

I'm based in Northern Ireland unfortunately, otherwise I would definitely pay you a visit, keep up the good work

[@chopperhehehe]

Wicked fab work 😊 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁✌️

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks dude 🍻

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Your work is impeccable Terry I’m sure there’s many specialist body repair shops that would gladly welcome a skilled metal worker like yourself and it makes for some seriously good watching 👌Cars really coming along dude and a job well worth doing .. nice job 👍

[@Tdevil86]

I wouldn’t mind getting a job in a bodyshop/panel beaters to be honest, getting a day in one each week would be ideal to help me learn more! But thank you! I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel on the fab work now, be on to the nuts and bolts side of the build soon hopefully 🤞🏻

[@stuarttyson6824]

I always look forward to watching your very informative videos. I chuckled at the c**k. 😂

[@Tdevil86]

Hahaha, I was very happy with that master piece! 🤣 Jon was amused aswel once he realised I’d kept and bead rolled he’s original bit lol

[@bentaylor774]

Awsome work mate as always you make it look so easy always look forward to your videos mate keep up the good work

[@Tdevil86]

Cheers dude, it’s definitely not easy but it’s great fun and definitely worth it!

[@itspartytimedisco]

Amazing progress, showing that it's not all roses.

[@Tdevil86]

It’s all roses, just plenty on thorns around them haha

[@shaunboyles4269]

Amazing work

[@julias-shed]

Fantastic progress 😀 that bead rolling looks brilliant

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks Julia, turned out better than I expected to be fair, I was pretty gutted I couldn’t do the pattern over the centre though if I’m honest :( It’s definitely a work out doing that manually! Haha

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

Great video as always Tel. Cracking job on that bulkhead. You gonna put a drain each side tho??? My tank for the bike is gone off to be welded up and I fabbed up an entire new bottom for it. Cant wait to get that back and crack on! Toodles for now Tel and love from the emerald isle mate!!

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks George, yeh, so the drain bit I forgot to mention, iv actually got a spot each side I can drill on the Audi bulkhead side that’ll drain that area back into the engine bay behind the engine, it’ll all work out pretty good to be honest. You not having a go at welding yourself? It’s a great tool to have in your arsenal!

[@Mr_Rich1899]

Fantastic to see your latest vid. Terry..... Fully appreciate that life thing's get priority, but never the less great to see your back at it. I see your bead rolling skills have greatly improved lol.... You need to knock out some more of those panels with that unique design and get them on Evil-bay...... you'll make a fortune 😁😁😁 Cheers rich1899

[@Tdevil86]

Hahaha, yeh I think thats probably the best bead rolling Iv done to date! 🤣 I was thinking I might make that ‘design’ on some rollcage gusset bits to try and sell, they could be amusing to see! It’s definitely difficult juggling family, work and project cars, over winter isn’t to bad but summer time you need to be out with family I think!

[@Shadowmosesarea51]

Such masterful work 😎

[@MySparky1975]

Excellent work

[@moonface978]

Wish on a lot of these build videos there would be a link to some of the music they use

[@Tdevil86]

Download an app called Shazam, it listens to music and tells you what the track is, I use epidemic sounds for all my music as it’s all royalty free

[@giuseppelavecchia775]

Progetto fantastico,sei il migliore!!

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you sir 🍻

[@tbdogfosters]

absolutely amazing work as always 👍

[@Tdevil86]

Thank you that man 🍻

[@ClassicMini4ageTurbo]

Mates like you adds to the joys of life😂 great project with great skills 💯 % 👍 don't cock it up now

[@Tdevil86]

Got to have some entertainment in a work place don’t ya, just makes life feel that little bit less stressful… And il try mate, still a long road ahead of me on this project!

[@iBrad.]

Top work mate. 👍

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks dude 👍

[@nigeltrigger4499]

Hooray!

[@Modifiedbluecorsab]

He should definitely leave that master piece in the escort 😂😂😂

[@GeorgeEI7KO]

it was the bollocks wasnt it? lol

[@Tdevil86]

🤣 I know right, it’s still an ongoing gag now, I put it up somewhere, he takes it down and try’s to hide it 🤣 next step, framing it! 😂

[@Modifiedbluecorsab]

@Tdevil86 u need to weld it on his car somewhere 😆 😂 🤣

[@Tdevil86]

The temptation is there! I just know it’ll come back full circle and end up on my car lol

[@andrewtrinder7813]

Looking good. Is there enough room for the bonnet hinges when the bonnet is closed?

[@Tdevil86]

Not just yet no, I still need to alter the front strut tops so they sit below the front wing line and clear the bonnet hinges, the bulkhead is clear though 👌🏼

[@allanbeckett1537]

What panel hammers do you use bud? Awesome work as always

[@Tdevil86]

Thanks mate, most of mine are old ones Iv picked up, a couple of them are Sykes and pickavant. You can buy a cheap set online to get going with but you’ll need to smooth off any machine marks on the faces so they’re smooth

[@NicolaasPlatenkamp]

Nice job, but does the wiper assembly fit ? Hope so....

[@Tdevil86]

No, unfortunately I couldn’t make the standard setup work without having to make a big recess for it to sit into, which in turn would cause issues with other things being fitted later on… iv not given up with the standard one yet though, I’m going to attempt modifying it which will hopefully work out, worst case it’ll have to be a motorsport style single wiper that goes in there…

[@lestercranmer2631]

If its a race car would it make easier to fit an after market single shaft wiper motor

[@Tdevil86]

That is a potential option atm, but I’m going to try and modify the original linkage setup first, I’m hoping with abit of cutting and fetling I might be able to make it abit more compact so I can keep the 2 wiper blades… 🤞🏻

[@glennvinicombe1668]

Watch Fitzees fabication he motorizes a beadroller

[@winging-it255]

😎

[@paulriggers1558]

good afternoon young man i'm going to send a letter to the pope, after all the miracles you are performing, you deserve a sainthood... have some time off, see if the missus + kids can remember your name...

[@jonathanpounsett4875]

😂😂

[@Tdevil86]

🤣 I’m struggling to remember there’s and where I live at this point Paul 🤦🏼🤣 I’m laying off abit over summer though, spend some time together!
