MK2 Escort - Welding the doors + Workshop Update

[@ragnarironspear1791]

That's what's on the decline is true British craftsmanship

[@anotherdayinparadise7443]

Awesome attention to detail to get the space/gap the same around them doors ,especially the offside , great work 👍🏻

[@Mk2Mitch]

The amount of time gone into them doors is crazy, perfection 👌🏻

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

Yes it takes a lot of time but for me this is just as important as the paint finish it doesn't matter how good the paint is if the prep and Panel gaps are wrong

[@Mk2Mitch]

@@Gavinpinkpaintshop completly agree mate, I’m a absolute perfectionist! Also didn’t realise how close you are, I’m in SG12 👌🏻

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Interesting video Gavin, love the way you go the extra mile to sort out the panel gaps as there are a lot of so called restorers that don't bother as it is a time consuming job. I restored my Mk3 Cortina way back in the late 80's and the panel gaps on those cars were horrendous I think I ended up welding some welding rods to the edge of the doors to build it up 😂👍

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

Thanks John for me the the panel gaps are very important you can have the best paint in the world but if the gaps are wrong it will never be a good car

[@JohnWD40TC02]

💯💯👌👌👍👍

Great video, cant wait for more, wish i had done some vids when building mine but only took photos,i absolutely love the epoxy for classic cars, got some 565 to try sometime as well

[@1979phill]

great to see doors fitted and gapped properly. most people just throw them on.

[@billywhizz98]

Great video I have just found your channel I have seen your workmanship it’s incredible

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it 👍👍

[@davemk2escort]

great job keep the videos coming, using the novel for classic cars for the first time and loving it so far

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

Thanks David. Trying to post as regularly as possible while trying to get the work done haha 👍👍. The novol for classic car products are great too

[@davemk2escort]

@@Gavinpinkpaintshop yeah it can take a right bit of your time away from the job your doing, setting up camera and sound but should work out with the content your putting out.

[@mofo1739]

Do the skin repair panels get tacked or are they fully welded , just asking because ive got a MK1 escort door that i need to repair and I like to know what the pros like Gavin do .

[@keidikaasik3427]

Great work! What is the red primer on the car, wash primer to seal from environment?

[@rjauto7215]

Job done very well done fella 👌👌👌

[@matthewwiddows6319]

Enjoyed the video. Out of interest, what size mig wire do you use on car panels? thanks.

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

[@RussellLord]

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

Stop it.. your making me blush 😆😍

[@a-tom8079]

👏👏👏👍🇵🇱

[@mikmarton3174]

Hey gav, those skins are bad why didn't you guys just reskin the whole doors, save yourselves some work, top job none the less 👍👍

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

If I'm really honest with you new door skins don't fit as good as these genuine ones you always have to do some fitterling to get the gaps how we like them
