I found RUST on my Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit 3 | Rear Spring Cup Repair & Welding | RR Rescue Ep.15

I have to admit I am so jealous, I will be 77 next year and it has been my dream to own a Rolls Royce. I can only imagine how much of a childhood dream you are having as I am having it with you. A real Rolls Royce in the capable hands of a real enthusiast, good luck with your endeavors.👍

well Ed was completely right that does look factory or better great job the old roller is getting there slowly 👍🏼

Fantastic job guys, think you could take on a course in fabrication big man , I’m sure have the skills to do so , loving the content 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

It's great Introcar have all these parts... Great video.

[@johnparnell8571]

A cracking job by Ed and thoughtful future-proofing maintenance too. With the exception of the specialist welding required here, it is the clear step--by-step approach to these individual jobs that demystifies them into the capabilities of the home mechanic. Well done!

[@oostendorpdros1453]

Nice repair of a delicate part of the suspension. Good to see you bought special tools to compress the springs. Probably expensive but worthy. And again, no half work. Good you did both sides. Maby more work but at the end the result is much better.

[@richarddoran3877]

Great metalwork by Ed !!!

[@LarryBees]

Tidy job by Ed.!! Nice derust and replacement Paul !!

Nice, neat and solid repair. Always nice to have another box ticked. Onwards...

What a BEAUTIFUL job of work! Again...as I've said before...you continue to use the BEST lighting techniques such that I can understand what you're trying to get across to us. Brilliant! You two gentleman made what is not an easy job...look easy. It was poetry to see this. I've subbed to Ed's Miniempire, and I'm off to see what he gets up to. Much aloha to you both!

Good work! I've subbed to Eds channel as I have a Mini of my own to do, maybe trade some knowledge................ much more to come on that!

Fantastic 👌

Wow really enjoyed love that Roller

[@dstanners8443]

I've just started doing a bit of rust proofing on my XK subframes. One corner at a time. After prep decided to use Bilt Hamber Dynax UC in aerosol form for protection. Great stuff to use, gets in to all the nooks and crannies and leaves a nice protective film. Top job by Ed👌.

[@iantomlinson2422]

brilliant video as always, good bit of welding

[@alanchurchill7305]

Well spotted, great job done there, will last year's.

What another piece of forward ingenious thinking from rolls royce how easy that spring was to remove

[@life_on_cars]

Clever idea, isn't it

[@shaunhewitt]

I get more intrigued the more I watch it shows they are not scary to work on if you own one 😊

Great inspirational video thanks. If that’s the worst you find Paul then that is really good.

[@LeeFradley]

Brilliant work as usual on the roller. That's going to be one cool motor when you're finished with it. I have a feeling you'll be spending a lot of time in petrol stations though lol.

[@fishandreptileinfo]

Another nice job done. 😉

Lovely car and condition. Re. Rustproofing I have used Fluid Film on all my cars. Cheers from Norway🇳🇴

Thanks I'll check it out 😉

[@ambientsounds321]

Well spotted, older Eclass mercs were prone to corrosion in the spring cups. I found out the hard way, driving a 1999 E55 along the motorway, next thing I knew the front drivers side of the car slams into the road and the spring exits at about 70 mph and goes about 100 yards ahead of me along the motorway. The upper Cup had just exploded to nothing, new springs and cups sorted it out but it's frightening when it happens. Funny thing ( well not funny really) was that it had passed it's MOT roadworthy test the week before 😮

[@life_on_cars]

Omg !

[@ambientsounds321]

@@life_on_cars I was just lucky I was keeping at a steady 70 and the weight of the car kept it in a straight line as it came to a grinding halt, really loving the work you are doing on the roller, it's great that future generations can appreciate these classic cars once they are saved by dedicated people like yourself. 👌👌

[@aa-xh6em]

My mate Vince also had to repair the rear suspension of his Rolls! Seems to be a common problem on these cars.

[@philhermetic]

Waxoyl is the magic!! used it on all my cars, and there has bin a few!! Phil "Phil Whitley, my week this week" on KZbin

[@s111nps]

Given the age of the car, and the fact it sat idle for quite some time, would it have been advisable to renew the rear springs at the same time? Great job done on the spring cups. Enjoy your Rolls.

[@life_on_cars]

Springs are good _ she sits level 👌 😊

[@michaelwilson3844]

My mate Vince , his cups were so rotten he had to replace them for new ones , he couldn’t use the tool to compress the spring as the threaded piece fell apart 😢

[@robinjoy99]

Late and stupid question, but do those cups support the lower ends of the springs i.e. the weight of the car please? I'm guessing they're way too flimsy for that!

[@life_on_cars]

Stronger than they look !

[@MiriamWhitaker]

I'm surprised that you didn't disconnect the battery before welding. There's always a risk of damage to the alternator if you don't do so.

[@life_on_cars]

Of course I did ! I've been around the block a few times you know 😅

[@MiriamWhitaker]

@@life_on_cars Just didn't bother to mention it?

[@life_on_cars]

This isn't a motor vehicle welding tutorial. But many thanks for watching, and i hope you enjoyed the video ​@MiriamWhitaker

[@nomebear]

Moving the compressed spring was scary to watch. The damage to automobiles by salting roads should be a criminal offense. Living in an area where salting road ways is forbidden, we have many old cars that still look great with their original paint sixty years later.

[@life_on_cars]

Where do you live? Thanks for watching 😊
