Another great video Dave 👏

[@DavesGarageuk]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

You make it look so easy Dave cracking job mate better than the original Thant’s for sure 👍

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thanks, it certainly will have added some strength to the shell, the factory one was like paper, well, what was left of it... 😊

[@sidsxr3irestoration]

Excellent work Dave think you're got the hang of the bead roller now made it look so easy. 👍

[@DavesGarageuk]

Cheers Sid, getting there, just need to practice the straight lines more.

[@sidsxr3irestoration]

@@DavesGarageuk been watching Lazzemetalshapping channel he's made a guide on his bead roller to do the straight lines

[@quattroman88]

J'aurais su que 30 ans plus tard les pièces seraient refabriquer j'aurais garder mon MK2 😢 Bravo beau travail 👍👍👍👍

[@DavesGarageuk]

Mercy 😊

[@keithwilliams9594]

Dave, Just wanted to say i love your videos. It is so refreshing to see this done in a home garage. I am a Qualified welder and Upholsterer and part of the old school 'Fix it or make it yourself' brigade. We are a dying breed. Keep up the great work and you never know i may buy you a bear someday.

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thanks Keith 😊

[@ModernClassics81]

Excellent work Dave, I’d love to have a play on a bead roller like yours👍

[@DavesGarageuk]

Cheers mate, it's a great bit of kit, not expensive either, motorising it has helped enormously.

[@alanchurchill7305]

Brilliant video again Dave, amazing how much strength you put in that with the roller,yet another step closer.

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thanks Alan, I'm always amazed how much difference a bead makes in a panel, great tool, I just need to get used to using it.

[@marty3469]

Excellent job on that panel , the factory one is thin as paper, I'm sure you've given the car some more strength in that area. Nice work 👍

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thank you Marty, it can only help, I see now why the competition cars remove the factory one and fit a solid one.

[@billywhizz98]

Dave you’re a perfectionist that’s better then a replacement panel and thanks for your advice on the Starrett saw hole cutter I bought one and it was a perfect for cutting through the metal without any problems

[@DavesGarageuk]

Cheers mate, I'm glad that worked for you 👍 you can't beat quality tools.

[@micktuck5377]

Great workmanship as always Dave. That fitted like a glove 1st go! Fantastic video again. Getting to the good stuff now will help with the motivation mate. Top man keep them coming 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@DavesGarageuk]
