And there was me thinking the car wasn't that bad, fingers crossed this is the worst it gets but top marks, jonny cash springs to to mind "Steve patched it one piece at a time..........." Lets just hope when you go to put the bolts in all the holes aren't gone haha.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

haha well im trying to ignore it atm but the other side looks just as bad :D

[@bobbythomson2573]

[@Jesse-B]

Colin my good man, has anyone told you yet that it's not a good idea to fill your rather rare E30 with water?

[@danielclift1]

why are these guys not restoring the hilux

[@steveairey1060]

You must be up to £2k in sander belts so far on this build :D you have to bring this to an E30OwnersUK meet once it's finished .

[@footube666]

Steve, it's such a treat watching you work. I'm sure the process of doing the video portion of it is not fun for you, but I just want to thank you for doing it. It's really incredible to be able to watch a master at work. 💜

[@nickhudson213]

Masters of metal-smithing, titans of tin bashing, wizards of welding, genies of grinding, and many other superlatives. the best viewing on youtube!

[@davidsmall7676]

I think you forgot Sultans of Steel!😂

[@richt247]

But crap at drawing straight lines with a marker lol 😂

[@briant5396]

ya but he can weld with his eyes closed haha!@@richt247

[@jonnenne]

What u on about​@@richt247

[@thomasschmidt8544]

from old mobile phone recording to 4K in a couple of months - what a steep climb this channel has managed!

[@jesscourt9068]

This is bordering on pornographic for most car nuts.Your attention to detail and form is exceptional. I think if anyone sees these videos thinking this artform is easy and overpriced, they must be shocked by now. Wonderful dedication, skill, and breakdown procedure. Utmost respect to you all.

[@Private-GtngxNMBKvYzXyPq]

I don’t think I will ever tire of seeing a true craftsman like you. This is exquisite artwork. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheStreetBastard]

What Steve can do with a panel of steel is really a kind of art.

[@allenharris2549]

Steve, you’re amazing. Step by step, piece by piece, one job at a time - all of the world’s problems can be solved by following your example.

[@natsterjam]

One word! SKILLS! Edit: Just wanna say: I came here from Furze channel, and you guys are awesome! Love the vids, edits and simple format, it's a joy to watch your fabrication skills and see the progress on all of your projects. 👍

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you so much!

[@natsterjam]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration You are welcome AND deserve it brothers!

[@dereklaw3686]

Awesome! 👍

[@fredsmith6725]

Wow, this isn't car restoration, this is a master artist and sculptor at work. 🎨

[@Sarge084]

This isn't restoration, this is *rustoration*! Dinitrol, you can have that one... for a small fee!

[@erickvond6825]

Truth be told, I found out about your channel from Colin Furze's channel. On the other hand your content is the reason I subscribed.

[@kevmackintosh7953]

ASMR for Car Lovers, well done man what you do is an art 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jamesnaylor3227]

You are a true craftsman! It's a joy to watch you work.

[@Yattayatta]

Beautiful work, it's a pleasure to watch a master at his craft.

[@jimmcfee3488]

Such patience, it's obvious you have been in the trade for a while and do good quality work, I am 56 in another trade but get where you are at. Amazing to see the sheer rusted out shells you work on over there, we just don't get that type of corrosion on our roads (North West coast Tasmania) and my 1995 commodore ute is still rust free after 280,000km(the first 20 years of it's life were spent in the wild West coast of Tasmania but the owner was particularly fond of regularly putting it on the hoist and spraying diesel oil everywhere). Love your work.

[@JootiCarsUK]

Loving this series, lads! You're making the impossible look possible on Colin's E30. That inner arch looked like a total write-off, but you've somehow patched it all back together. Top work with the reference arch - clever solution! Can't wait to see the next part, especially if it's replacing that filler neck section...

[@kjduncan1]

This car is an IRL ship of Theseus... is it even the same car at the end? Incredible work.

[@MartArmstrong]

It'll be like Triggers broom 😂

[@johnbergen9663]

Fabulous skills. E30 one is my favorite Bimmers, I’ve owned two so I’m glad to see this one and the red E30 wagon being restored!

[@russthebiker]

Nice to see you back I have been bored stupid waiting for my weekly fix of YCR craftmanship

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

sorry we have been very busy this last few weeks brining you guys some exciting future content :)

[@russthebiker]

@@yorkshirecarrestoration it's great to see a business thriving and building up a new and wider marketplace, unlike so many tv programs about car restoration where it's all made up,your channel is down to earth and honest

[@carlzrx]

Don’t forget the music

[@glenbetton3146]

He's much more of a "by the eye" fettler than his son, who likes the paper templates and measurements a bit more. Either way, the end results are amazing to see!

[@stephenyoud6125]

I'd have settled for either doing my 1978 RS Mexico or Mk III Escort RS Turbo

[@JamesFaction]

Bit like an experienced chef doesn't need to use a measuring cup or spoons as much. I'm sure his son will trend more towards the way he does it as he gains experience

[@buffplums]

Steve it’s clear that you love your job just a bit 😂 … I’ve just started my 12th job in my 40 odd years in work and I’ve just gone back into a product development job in electronic engineering, absolutely great feeling. So can really appreciate the love and commitment you show in your work, very very skilled and professional mate, the lifeblood of this country we so need engineers and craftsmen like yourself bud! ❤

[@torchyboyz]

Hi Steve, thank you so much for this vid, I really enjoyed this one. Thank you for all of your hard work. Paul from Widnes

[@BillyBob38846]

Man you're a metal artist! Great job so far, can't wait to see the it when you finish it. 👍

[@GT380man]

“Same again, just a different shape”. Well, indeed. It’s getting that perfect panel fit that’s the skill & art. Lovely to watch, Steve. You’re really fixing the world by focussing on what’s in front of you and needs your skill.

[@VegasMikeP229]

It's a good thing you didn't acid dip the car to get rid of the rust - there would have been nothing left!! This is great workmanship and superb attention to detail. I also came here from Colin's channel and am enjoying this!!

[@fufflenarnia3886]

Incredible work, that filler neck replacement was pure art.

[@ianmorris76]

Craftsmanship. Pure and simple. I love this channel.

[@FixTechStuff]

I like how you approach a thing most people would be too afraid to take on, no matter how loved the car was. One step at a time and boy do you get the job done!

[@jwalrath]

You guys are some incredible craftsmen. Kudos on the work.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you we do appreciate the comments :)

[@PBUCKY1969]

Flippin Nora Steve - what a display of craftsmanship - impressive 100% 👍👍👍👍

[@kmw12870]

Astonishing work. Thanks for sharing it with us. Always be safe work safe. Love from Korea. 🫡👍

[@brettjohnsey7708]

Just want to say u guys are amazing the work you do is unreal i no what its like welding up these old cars id love to be able to fabricate the way u guys do keep up the good work i found ur channel when u was doing matt Armstrongs car and that is looking unreal. One of my favourite KZbin channels for sure keep up the good work ur channel will grow very quickly i reckon with in a year ur have a million subscribers no problem

[@kingsleywray6632]

Fascinating to watch the process of making a complex part. The order you do the shaping in. Thanks for sharing

[@gainsey95]

You can still get inner wheel arch Ml performance has them

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

thank you but then again where the fun in just welding parts in :)

[@paulchurchuk]

It's coming on nicely, Colin will be pleased. That new racing suspension is to good for an old BMW lol ❤

[@danielwatson2910]

Good on you BC Racing for getting on board.

[@justinwhalley9679]

very impressed with that metal manipulation to create a work or art arch,you made it look easy great work

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you very much!

[@wimdejong5399]

You are a magician Steve, thanks for sharing !

[@melwilliamson8208]

a true metal master at work a pleasure to watch and learn from

[@hhansen3551]

I have absolutely no intention of doing rust work on any car. Still I just love the videos. 20 minuts of pure relaxation watching expert craftsmanship. Thanks

[@dennisflemming826]

Love the show , I live in Australia we don’t have salt on our roads , only people who live at the beach have rust like that ! We call them parts cars ! I admit doing that kind of crazy to VW s many years ago. It’s like climbing a mountain some people think they have to climb it because it’s there. Better to walk past it and get on with something worthy of skill . Cheers

[@gazmack6196]

Wow 😮 it’s like plastic surgery for cars. 🚙 Your attention to detail is on point 👍 I truly hope once the car is finished, Colin’s channel will give you guys the recognition and respect you rightly deserve. It’s absolutely fascinating watching everything you do 🙏👌👍

[@MartArmstrong]

Your craftsmanship and ability to "take one step at a time" is inspirational. Can't wait to see the finished car

[@dublinvanlife466]

I'm sure Colin thought the car was grand! Just needed a touch up here and there!

[@smashyrashy]

Every car has more problems the closer you look

[@thomasmaiden3356]

I really enjoy watching you shape the new metal parts on Colin's car. I feel like I am learning a lot. Please keep making videos like this one.

[@chrisbailey459]

You,ve outdone yourself . Nice repair. Regards Chris

[@craigwoodfolk3240]

I am amazed each and every time you start cutting, shaping, hammering, stretching, and welding of steel and other metals. You are truly a superb artesian.

[@hamburg4ever684]

I´m a handworker too working on AHUs and a bit used to work with metal plates. But Steve you are not only one of the best handworkers I´ve ever seen with your calm and professional style. You are an artist! This is absolutely amazing and definitely the best that could have happened to Colins car. Keep up that good work! Greetings from germany.

[@7732147]

Blimey Dad! I was getting worried about you guys. I need my YCR fixes on a twice weekly basis. Bostin work as per usual.

[@Ozmercyful]

Again I am amazed at your skills. You show us the disaster, and then make it look so easy to repair. 😊

[@network233]

Really diggin the tunes in this one.

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Wonderfull way you tackled that difficult inner arch repair. Am I right in thinking of this adage in bodywork fabrication, "For difficult and complicated panels, break them up into smaller parts and fabricate each and then stictch them up together to make the whole".🐝

[@bikert]

You are a real sheet metal artist! That fuel filler neck part, a work of art!

[@andysmith4734]

Wow!.... just wow!

[@bonelesswhiskey2865]

This video alone shows why Collin brought his vehicle to them, the cinematography paired with the low-fi music during the sped up intervals alone is classy, and highly appreciated. Top quality work here sir, First video ive seen of yours, and im def subscribing

[@sgsax]

Definitely a case of just when you think it couldn't get any worse, it gets worse. Heroic effort here. That next bit looks to be event more challenging. Thanks for sharing!

[@anthonybrand6137]

Its always a privilege to watch a master craftsman at work........thank you Steve! 👍🔥👍

[@Braveheart7914-idfl]

Ayup Steve hope you and the fellas are well great video but hell as a BMW E60 535d owner that is shocking how bad these earlier cars are 😳🤔🇬🇧👍🏻👏👏

[@davidsmall7676]

The metal sculpting is freaking amazing! Truly an artist workshop. Thank you and please keep the videos coming.🎉🎉

[@grahamlewis9656]

having recently found your channel because i'm teaching myself how to mig weld, i find it very interesting to watch and if i didn't have a interest in classics i would tune in just to listen to the music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! many thanks for making these videos.

[@iainball2023]

That was absolutely beautiful to watch. So much raw skill on display. From someone thats been doing this for 30 years, bravo. Watching you build that filler neck pannel was absolutely joyous 😊 you made something so complex look easy.

[@yobgodababua1862]

Getting into some serious "Car of Theseus" territory here. Lovely work!

[@raelik777]

The entire restoration has been a perfect example of the old adage: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Great work yet again......

[@rickwilliams1505]

Brilliant video, looking forward to the next one

[@Rambokennel]

Вы даете вторую жизнь автомобилю. Спасибо за вашу работу!

[@natsterjam]

👊🏻

[@southney7211]

Ace work as ever. It’s pretty overwhelming to look at. Love the way you break it down into manageable sections.

[@johnpayne5439]

MAGIC !!

[@mpglass8560]

thats a work of art cheers

[@adrianstephens56]

Having just listened to a podcast about not staring at the eclipse and eye damage -- You do the tacking without a visor on. Are you shutting your eyes for each tack weld? I'm amazed at your persistence. I had a Vauxhall Viva HB in about 1981 that failed its MOT. The mechanic said "you car has died". I asked "what did it die of". "Ironworm" was his reply. I think your car is on life support for a severe ironworm infection.

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Brilliant as always

[@jimburney573]

My father was a sheet metal worker ,he would have loved this ,amazing skills

[@buffplums]

Love the backing track great videos mate

[@alfredrichter6236]

You are really an artist with sheet metal. It is amazing what you can do to fix up that car.

[@MickHealey]

That is some serious craftsmanship. A joy to watch.

[@depe4744]

Hey Steve, your patience is absolutely admirable.

[@BKy-ej1ne]

Fantastic work and skill

[@milesemery9103]

This gentleman is a genius with metal sheet……

[@fritsified5952]

Amazing work. I'm learning a lot of small tricks from you guys, and the consistency of your work is so good. Absolute mastery. Anyone trying to do rust repairs knows how hard it is. That said, these E30's are really complicated beasts.. all those shapes, double panels and parts (filler neck etc.) in the wheel wells. Glad my project is a lot simpler.

[@karenmurray3098]

look out ! things are getting serious , steve took his jumper off !

[@alman6581]

LOVE your work. I learn so much confidence from this alone - for my projects.

[@deanriley1284]

That strut top piece belongs on the mantelpiece, not under a car somewhere! Great job!

[@Devon_Architect]

I remember from my GCE Metalwork days how hard it is to use tin snips to cut sheet metal. You must have a vice like grip.

[@andydunn_24]

'... It's as easy as that!'.... 😅 Great workmanship. Fascinating to watch.

[@jdsstegman]

Damn. You make it look easy sir. Time laps helps. But it's hard to do what you do. Years of experience right here.

[@daves4026]

Now thats real artisan level skills. I could not justify the effort or cost, but great to watch skills in the UK

[@stephenperry5849]

It always amazes me what you can achieve with a hammer and a sheet of steel. 👏

[@lostcarpark]

Impressive! It feels like you're ending up with more replacement steel than original car.

[@johnmcphee2201]

very tidy repair. you make the fabrication of these patches look so easy.

[@12jsteve]

Spellbinding sheet metal mastery! 👏👏

[@georgeclements2742]

As always, a real education watching how you approach the fabrication process. Thank you once more and best wishes.

[@robertmooney571]

You do very awesome work there Steve, the "Fab Doctor".

[@Cauin450]

[@idrisddraig2]

Special as always.

[@gordonwebster3809]

by thats a neat job the right way to go about that.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you :)

[@michaelwindle5023]

that's some metal-working magic right there!

[@markoconnell804]

M-nightmare means “My nightmare.” lol grats on the new word. And for making it past your nightmare. May it bring you good money.

[@atrem7942]

The way they work, they have enough skill to make from tiniest piece of solid metal a whole solid car again. " only by repairing small pieces at a time.

[@normangaylor5959]

Brilliant! It's great to watch such a craftsman at work.

[@stevemcilroy9518]

Thats impressive Steve.
