Love this. Simple materials. Simple tools. Extraordinary results.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank You Jim its much appreciated :)

[@FromMetayou]

Simple but expensive tools lol

[@Corylewis5]

The skill on his patch panels is extraordinary, top notch work n better than factory. That's one lucky Mx5

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you very much! We try to show different methods of fabrication for the panels. Thanks for the support!

Amazing workmanship and a lost art in the throw away society. Plus made in Yorkshire. Hats off

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

thank you David and yes we fully agree :)

[@reggaenerator]

Ey up! Keep up the good work pal

[@oliverw3646]

Terrific rust repair! You make it look easy but I know it takes tremendous skills.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

thank you Oliver :)

[@michaelb7071]

Nice, you appeared in my YT recommendations today. Interesting to watch you working. I am sure I can use some of your procedures to help with my own sheet metal repairs on my cars. Keep on cracking!

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you Michael. Glad we can help :)

[@dont-want-no-wrench]

just showed up in mine, 8 mo later.

[@LiveShamzTv]

Fixing the headlight bracket/surround was really impressive imo. I may take my MX5 here when I decide to do the sills etc.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you! We do sills and arches daily. Get us on indaltagram if you do decide to. @Yorkshire_car_restoration

[@endlesstwisties]

I was removing surface rust from suspension arms and brackets and then sprayed the metal with protective paint. 3 very long days under the car. To do a car like this needs a lot of skills, determination and steel patience . I don't think i could ever do that.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It is labour of love :)

The work going into this Myata. It makes zero economic sense, which proves this is a labour of love.

Amazing job man !

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jamesward5721]

Nice - I have a paint cup with some thinners in it - I use a paintbrush to flow out the sealant over the welds - dip the brush in the thinner, use that to smooth the sealant after you gun it on - leaves it looking tres posh. Underseal over that - ends up real smooth. :-)

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you for the tip James :)

[@jamesward5721]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration nothing worse than a glove finger covered in black schmoo - hence the move to a brush. Far nicer. :-)

[@harmonyhommerding7057]

did you happen to go to a college or take courses for auto body repair? or is it all just over time and year’s experience? you make it look easy from the beginning to end, i would like to do this kind of work on older cars that need restoration, love the idea of bringing nostalgia, a time I didn’t live in back.

[@williamllorens2141]

Amazing skills ❤

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you :)

[@zackw4941]

Wow, I sure wish I could have given my old Miata to this guy. I had a 2000, bought mint in 2004. Loved it for a long time. Won a bunch of autocrosses. But I was young and dumb and didn't know about Fluid Film and it was my only car, year round. Rust took it from me. Watching this work is incredible. At my shop, we have a welder come in sometimes to do emergency rust "repairs." Guy spends an hour or two, loosely tacks some paper thin sheet metal over a gaping hole in the chassis and everyone acts like it's fixed. They look at me cross eyed the next time the vehicle comes in and I tell them I can't put it up on a normal lift because there's still no structure under the patch...

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

We have seen repairs like that a lot, that's why we always put enough strength back so the car can easily be jacked up on the repair sections again :)

Hello, great video. What gauge of steel did you use for your patches and what welder settings?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

This was made with 1.2 to 1.4mm steel and welder power was on 3of 10 and feed was 4 of 10 :)

[@nandorkitka2016]

[@hansenfabrication3761]

Nice work. Would love to see some primer here the panels are overlapping

[@Choober65]

My only concern is you didn't treat the inside of the panel before you welded it. I use zinc rich primer but leave 5 mm around the weld area. Then I drown the whole thing in cavity wax.

[@Jimladvw]

Great video thanks for sharing. What stonechip product do you use? Is it an air fed one or spray can? Cheers!

[@dermax_hd]

I'm not really experienced with rust repair myself and so I'm not sure how to properly do the steps after all the metal is in place, after there is bare metal on both the in- and outside of the car. now you used some undercoating which I think is great to protect the new metal from rusting again from the outside, but those mazdas usually rust on the inside? how do you treat those areas to stop exactly that from happening again? and how would you treat a area thats not located on the undercarrage and needs to be painted over (like the fenders for example)? would you use primer directly on the bare metal or use some sort of rust converter underneath it?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

rust converter is a must then either primer and some sort of underbody protection, anywhere thats repaired and sealed , access holes need to be drilled and waxoile at the very least :)

Neutraliser is Mippa, Mipparox :)

[@Certifiednonsense]

What’s the spray stuff?

[@philroddam]

What is the black sealant you use after cleaning up the welds, before you spray with gravitex, and why do you use it ?, thanks

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

It's tigerseal seam sealer, we use it to make sure the weld is water tight just incase there are any pinholes :)
