I appreciate the extra narration and voice over. Makes it easier to understand the process. Also the 2 of you must never sleep. I’ve never seen so much work and editing and uploading 🤯🤘

[@7732147]

A joy to watch. Utterly relaxing. As an ex rally Co driver it's also great to see one of these MK1s being brought back to life.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Yer a worthy car to restore :)

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Kudos Steve. The lucky owner of that car must be buzzing.

[@rosscato8745]

Brilliant Steve, anyone restoring one of these genuine classics is a legend.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It's the car thas a legend :)

[@TheJcman72]

Love to see those videos that prove that willing is enough to make (almost) anything possible.

[@garyhoward2628]

You sir are a metal working God. The absolute attention to every detail sets you and the rest at YCR apart from the rest watching these eating my brekkie sets me up for the day. Can't wait to see the next one all the best G

[@bobfrankish8883]

Absolutely brilliant again Steve. You are a true professional, as 99,95% of us all agree!

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you we really do appreciate the support from all our viewers :)

[@pauldixon3677]

Great job Steve. Nice to see you going the extra bit to get rid of the rust.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you :)

[@marklloyd2966]

best car i ever had was a mk1 1300 lx if i ever win the lottery first thing i would buy would be a mk1 escort love the shape and style of them this guy is a genius pleasure to watch well done sir

[@deanmarskell1518]

Outstanding workmanship as always Steve fantastic to see one of my all time favourite cars getting the full treatment that it deserves like. You I'm nuts about the MK1 escort too absolutely love them sporting or none had plenty of the 1100 and 1300 back in the day my first one cost me under £20 in the early 80's well done my friend absolutely love what you and Ryan do your skills are amazing 😍♥️👌

[@Dadeets]

Don’t think enough words can describe the amazing attention to detail …. Just 🤩 wow. 😮

Thank you we really do appreciate the support :) 👍

[@marctiplady1796]

AWESOME WORK Steve as alway's and i know where Ryan get's his eye of perfection and knowledge from 👍🏻👌🏻

Makes it looks easy but that only comes with real experience. A job being done well here.

[@davidmckinney6577]

Absolutely 💯 the best channel here in KZbin my favorite, I have been busy and just now getting to catch up on your videos Steve..I know you and Ryan do top notch quality work 👍 👌 it's the best buddy. That car will be better than new when you get through with it Steve that inner wing is beautiful

[@johnmcphee2201]

you made that look ever so easy

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It's wasn't hard :)

[@leofabbro456]

Hi Steve. You show us that it is not because the panels remanufactured are of good quality that there is nothing to do. Thanks for the priceless lessons you give us in each video.

[@ToreDL87]

Spot-on as usual, and gets an important point across. Typical question from beginners is always "I wanna start repairing rust, what tools do I get to start with?" And this video shows just that: A good MiG welder, a SOLID vice, sheet metal break, sheet metal hammer & various dolly's, and a anvil (railroad track cut-off works great). English wheels & Bead rollers are strictly optional, for when you make large panels, not needed for these typical smaller repairs before putting on reproduction panels.

[@jackbrown6913]

Thanks for the commentary through the task at hand

[@Stephen.C.]

A big step forward and a great job mate.

[@jamesward5721]

There's some wall of wires to go back into that area, Steve - biggest headache on these is the loom. Lads whip them out so they can repair the area, then when they go to re-fit the loom, it's a head-melt. :-) I make my own panel that works in around the loom without removing & welds to everywhere possible (without the absolute ball-ache nightmare of pulling the loom). I've gotten to be a dab-hand at cutting out the bulkhead panel with the loom in-situ & fitting the repair panel without toasting the wires. Working on a customers Mazda Bongo this week & last - man do they love to rot. I've rebuilt the entire front end pretty much from scratch and have the sills to do tomorrow - I thought Fords liked to rust. Mazda give them a good run for their money, as you know from the MX 5's/Miatas.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Yer always good to have work rounds James :)

[@jamesward5721]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration Bongo I'm doing has had 101 "professional repairs" in the past - I'm looking, feeling my "job security" rising with every absolutely rubbish repair I cut/pull/falls out in my hands. I've yet to come across even 1 repair on this where you'd go "Fair one, you tried.." It's all pish central. :-)

[@berndb.5097]

It's always a pleasure to watch you do your sheet metal work.

[@davidwalker5463]

You and your son are magicians!

[@colinritchie1757]

Damm Steve that looks like the shell just came off the production line - superb

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Haha thank you :)

[@Brooksyscarrestorations]

The Esky and Datsun builds are by far my favourite builds of yours so far!! 🙂

[@jeffhammond8969]

I just love watching you and Ryan fabricate panels and bring these cars back from their former sorry state. Too bad I couldn't get you to hop across the pond and do my 944!

[@therealknapster]

+ add the various strengtheners to make it an r.s. inner wing . Not just the strut top , as 99% of people think it only is

[@garymucher4082]

Nice work, as always. I can easily tell you guys there love their jobs and the amount of details proves that. Thumbs Up!

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you we do :) 👍

[@stevenblack4599]

Great jig, very entertaining as always, can’t wait for the next episode!

[@willemjordaan4108]

Thank you Steve for a quality presentation...enjoyed from South-Africa!!🎉🤗

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you for watching :) glad you enjoyed it in sunny south Africa?

[@Bach_12]

It is good inspiration to watch such great work, and learning a thing or two. It looked like the panel was fairly good fitment, besides the holes not fully aligning

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Brilliant channel, love watching the old become new again 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you and glad you enjoy it :)

[@justinsimpson7934]

Great work as always Steve 😎 so happy you are cutting out any extra rot that is found along the way. Also treating both sides of the fresh metal, and never leaving any exposed bare metal uncovered 👌🏽

[@funkmeister123]

I guess the part where you did a cross check (upper corner left to down corner right and the same for the other side) to make sure you have a straight square was left out of this video. The horror of having a non square front and trying to align the gaps from the bonnet to the wings comes to mind.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Yes we did, as explained in the video we have checked all measurements and Luckily we have a bonnet and it has been test fitted and it's good :)

[@simonsherwood7169]

Cracking job Steve coming together nicely , can I ask where you learned your trade ! Keep up the videos they are addictive 😉👏👏

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

I started 30 years ago just mending rust on my own car, found I was good at it. Worked for a body's op for a few years doing it then opened my own place about 27 years ago :)

[@Afrodizyak47]

Steve, this is a question that I was going to ask, but I have simply become enthralled watching you and the Team at YCR working their magic and never got around to it, I had surmised that you began your craft as an apprentice panel beater and then found your niche, No matter what, YCR has captured my admiration and is always the first notification I open!@@yorkshirecarrestoration

great work make it look so easy, I know it not

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thabk you. It is with just a little practice :)

[@bobstacey9311]

Mind boggling that you don’t need to use CAD (cardboard aided design) your own Internal CPU can see a rusty remnant of a panel and 3Ds a new piece to fit

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Haha yes I often just use my eyeometer :)

[@bobstacey9311]

I have heard other youtubers refering to a specialist tool they use, their eyechrometer@@yorkshirecarrestoration

[@samperras]

A ruler is a good tool

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It is :)

[@amandafullagar4133]

Hi mate, there should be a wing fillet panel at the bulkhead end, it looks like thet used a wing rail repair section before.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Yes we have that :) it's a new panel that was supplied by the customer :)

Steve, thank you for a great video. Please could you say in your videos how long the the work actually took. It would be useful info for those of us undertaking similar work on our own cars.

[@johnwilson1620]

Fabulous work

[@BigPaul62]

Do you own the business Steve?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Yes I do :)

[@neilbarnes3557]

And welding that channel in sorts out the bit of rust under the windscreen panel at the same time? Or did I misunderstand where it goes?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

That will be replaced at a later date when the structure is in place. First things first. 👍

[@dannylee4479]

Hi steve just wondering what gauge sheet metal you are using plse m8 as im working on project thanks.

[@eddybetanya]

It just goes on forever, rust in early Fords.

[@garyjermyn6862]

Not sure at all of this patching up with mini bits of metal,No proper measuring system in place,will this not rust twice as quick as the original?Please tell me if i am wrong.

[@neilt7145]

Not as long as it is all primered up.

[@matthewjenkins1161]

The rot is cut out and the new sections butt welded in. Done properly, it is usually preferred to save as much of the original car as possible, especially where original panels are no longer available. If there were a new overlay, then yes rust would be promoted in comparison to original, but that isn't the case here. As for not measuring, the old and new are repeatedly seen to be compared during the fabrication of the repair sections and it was stated the inner wing measurements were checked off camera.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

As niel says. As long as it protected it should last as long if not later than nger than original :)

[@RallyeRacin9]

Repairing a body suspension point without a straightening/repair bench is just, lets say it this way - not professional.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you for watching.

[@davidbeckett7291]

@RallyRacin9 - is just let’s say - the most thorough and professional fabricator I have seen - and just because it’s not done as you may do it does not make it any less professional - great work as ever
