Nice one lads. I really enjoyed your Dad doing the hokey kokey at about 34 mins in the Timelapse with his feet. 👍

[@kennyyellop]

Epic vlog man.Keep it like this all the time

[@MrOrbitzHD]

wow i always wondered why people slipped the panel under the arch. Thanks for explaining it so well.

[@Stephen.C.]

Would have been interesting to see how the inner tub was connected and welded to the arch. I understood what you did, but would have been good to see it afterwards. Neat work though, 👍

[@fredjones1238]

i asked the same question

[@teabelly1565]

Yes,- I also would have liked to see the detail of this aspect!

[@AJ_Irving]

If they are not spot welded in the arch lip they are bonded together, inside they are however you took them off if you removed at a spot weld spot them back in if you cut before then seam weld as you would a normal repair.

[@danwingo7512]

Merry Christmas to you and your Dad, Mark, and to your entire family. Love the video's.

[@markgutter8443]

Looks a good neat job as ever and you are both always happy and smiling. I just hope Matt Green wasn't watching and saw the Stella. Hope you all have a nice Christmas.

[@Steviegtr52]

I have been knocking metal around for most of my adult life. Started as a apprentice sheet metal worker from school. But only lasted 1 year & took up a different approach & became an Electrician. I have been rebuilding cars & motorcycles as a hobby for over 50 years. But I must say you Sir are a master at tin bashing. Well done , lovely job. Regards. Steve.

[@johndavey72]

Very impressive Mark . You have a natural flair that few can replicate .

[@Afrodizyak47]

It is always a pleasure watching and learning from you and Dad, as you go about your enthusiastiv, but carefully crafted restorations. Today is a war, Christmas Day, here in Perth WA and I am watching my Chrissy present, this clip! Made my day! I wish you both and your families, friends and followers, all the best for a beautiful and shared day ahead and of course, a Happy New Year, 2023

Watched this on Christmas afternoon in Auss, thanks for your channel, looking forward to seeing this one progress. Merry Christmas and happy new year ❤️

[@cliffludo6860]

All looking good guys! A very important question for the upcoming Q and A session, "how often do you restock the fridge?"

[@trevorwoods2580]

Great video I just love this channel it's really nice to see you and your dad working together. I'd like to wish you and your dad a happy and healthy Christmas and New year. Here's to the next video's in 2023. 👏👏

[@datsunruss]

Hi Mark - looking forward to the Q&A. Be interesting to know your working background, and dad's. You both have a great skills set so I can imagine it would varied. Happy Holidays men and thanks for posting great content. Looking forward to seeing the mini finished.

[@classic1989mini]

Hi guys, how are you doing, the hat I got from you works a treat

[@George-uw3sl]

Well done. Love these little Mazda MX 5s . The Mk1 is now a classic and you have saved this one with your skills.👌

[@chrissmith7655]

Hi guys, many thanks, the longer the better for me. Great work from you both.

[@SuperDeadlen]

Hey guys, great vids, new subscriber.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Lovely

[@anthonybrown7959]

Q and A. Where is it your from. Shotley Bridge?? Newlands area. Your a plumber??? A guess. Iam guessing you have driven track day cars. Your dad , I want to say Ebchester but it might be medomsley. Medomsley Edge.? Did he work on the tools. Did he come from Ashington as he has a pit twang. My grandad used to roll his R's ,he was a pitman from high spen. Worked at Headley drift mine close to Chopwell. Great to see all your skills being put to use and showing how it's all done. Ps how's the imposter MK 1 coming along.👍. Big fan...

[@bobfrankish8883]

Hi mark, great job as always. A few people are commenting about you not showing the process of welding in the inner wheel arch tubs. I have done 2 lots of wheel arch repairs exactly the same process as you have used. I can only imagine you haven't showed this because it would be so hard to film. It is very awkward to do in practice, and personally I detested all the upside down welding and the fact that the welding helmet really gets in the way when you are messing about inside the wheel well. If I ever did another, which is unlikely now, I would fix the outer and inner arch repair panels together with a few pop rivets or self tappers, or better still Clecos if you have some, fit the outer panel to the car and secure it in its' exact position, then fabricate all the inner tub repair sections. Then, tack the inner repairs in so that they will remain in their exact position having done as much welding on the bench as possible, remove the outer panel and weld in the repair section from the outside, fit the outer panel back using the enlarged rivet or self tapper holes for plug welds.

[@jrushen4235]

Great work on the Mazda and the video editing. Very skilful. Merry Xmas.😀

[@Ecosse57]

seeing the lengths you gents go to, in order to make things right, would make me feel very comfortable buying a car from you. too bad i live a few thousand miles away. cheers! merry christmas!

[@oaktree1787]

Amazing fabrication, would love a more detailed vid on stretching shrinking metal to shape, AND a mug welding how to vid. Give details on mig settings, steel thickness etc.

[@billywhizz98]

It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos and the bond you have with your dad that’s really seen this day and age all the very best for Christmas and the New year

[@mrdainase]

I didn't think there would be another vid so soon, but glad you put this up! Have a great Christmas and look forward to seeing how the rebuild continues!

That was a great length episode lads. Keep it up. Will you build on a second storage shed for mini storage and get rid of lock up ?? Sounds like many more projects to come.

[@markshaw1077]

Another brilliant video 👍Really enjoy watching them. 👏👏👍

[@geraldmeli7696]

Great job, very tallented. You make that hard work very easy and fun to do. God bless you and your father , thanks for your tutorials. One thing i wanted to see is the inner rear tub how you mated it with the outer rear arch panel. Good work and best Christmas Wishes.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍

[@McJiver]

I think it's past time someone design a longer lasting repair for these rust prone cars areas. I have an NB in the states. My idea was always to take a plastic or a stainless polished funnel and tube setup from the rain rail drains and send the water straight out so it doesn't sit inside the fender. When I design things I test them out. I have had my car briefly in the rust belt during winter. I hated it I could feel my car rotting away. Not much you can do about road salts unless you use carbon fiber or special coatings. However everyday rain and the potential rust from that inside can be minimized.

[@55peterf]

A brave one guys that one was all but ready for the crusher. Still great to see your skills at work and the cheery presentation though im still concerned about that smokey engine. Any major engine work in the real world would make it completely uneconomic to save but lets wait and see. Looking forward to see how it all progresses 👍

[@bens.garage-projects]

I love your videos. Really interesting to see how others tackle different jobs and great to pick up different tricks and tips. Where are you guys based ?

[@glynwilliams1225]

Excellent 👌👌job

[@emyrjones829]

Great work on the Mazda , just wondering when you are going to finish the mini

[@lennym1636]

Merry Christmas to both of you, and your dad is looking a bit younger in this video, glad to see, take care...

[@thomasmcglinchey2024]

Well done. If you buy 2 outer arch repair panel for the same side you can cut one of them to do the inner arch repair with. It's alot faster and cheaper and less welding. I worked it out one day for every inch of mig welding it cost you 10 euros . That's gas wire and power and allows for nothing else like welder replacement or sheild replacement or a trip to A&E when you get burnt

[@clivetucker176]

Top job lads 👍

[@ronnierobinson1502]

Love longer vids

[@philtucker1224]

Boys are you intending to repeat the “Gold Leaf Team Lotus” colours or are you planning a complete colour change? Merry Christmas both 🎉🙏🎅🏼

[@TootEmCarMan]

It's really taking shape and looking good! 😃 A few questions for the Q&A. 1 - Your fabrication skills are so good that when I first began watching your vids I was convinced that you are a professional fabricator but in a vid some time ago you said that you arent. I wondered what you do for a living? 2 - When using rattle cans do you use the nozzles that came with the cans or do you use after market ones? 3 - I do 3d printing. Is there anything I could print for you that would be useful? You can have a look on Thingiverse for 3d designs.

[@simongray8638]

good work.what happened to the mini mk1

[@ricobass0253]

Can we get a mini update in the Q & A?

[@billgriffiths1685]

Was the mk1 Mini convertion the first project you did? and if not what was.

[@andyjrichie6709]

Great team work, will you be sorting engine out too with the hint of blue smoke, or give the engine a total strip down

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

That was a very interesting repair, the end results look awesome. My question like what some have already asked; how was the inner arch welded together. What welds were used and was it easy to align the two panels?

[@barrybrewer4944]

Hi mark will you inject in the box sections after you finish? I worked at the morris miner workshop for 10 year as shop forman and we did all new rebuilds .

[@mazdasandme7877]

Superb work! Really enjoying the videos and nice to see another five saved 👍 look forward to more videos. Will you be respraying the car yourself when all of the metal work is finished or will you put it in somewhere? Are you keeping it red or different colour?

[@augis50]

👍👍

[@johntovey3928]

You are a genius when it comes to metal fabrication did you learn from your Dad?

[@mec-tec]

Nice job guys, it certainly had more holes than mine did ! Did you join the inner arches together ? All the best MEC from MEC-TEC 👍

[@upbuild4397]

Hi! Yeah it was a bit of a tea bag, all solid now though. I plug welded the inner and outer arches together. 👍

[@mec-tec]

@@upbuild4397 ah superb thats great, you certainly are very good at the fabrication 👍👍👍

[@badbooks476]

Excellent work & Thankyou for sharing, that was a big enough job without filming it as well. QUESTION: Roughly how much time did the MX5 welding take ? Have a great Christmas & Happy New Year

[@rogerfenton5210]

Didn't see you cover glass to prevent weld spatter and grinding sparks damaging it

[@geoffh2560]

For the Q&A - Me and my lad would love to do a classic mini restoration - but we dont have any welding skills or experience - what advice would you give on getting started?

[@johndavey72]

Don't ! Unless you have a natural flair for working with metal you'll just waste your time , energy and money . If you can't use hand tools or d.i.y it just won't happen . Mark is extremely lucky . He has a panache for anything and his father was a panelbeater . What you see him doing he makes it look easy .......it isn't ! I've been in the game for over 50 years and his natural flair and ability is impressive and exceptional .

[@andynicklin6420]

Hi Mark, Great work on a great video, not too long at all! a question about our welding process, you always plug weld your repair panels, any reason you haven't invested in a spot welder? as a mini man I find mine invaluable especially with the minis external seams but the are useful in so many other areas, looking forward to the next episode.

[@Moonathorax]

Question: what did you chaps do with regards to the fuel tank, lines and filler neck, when welding close to it? I guess there is a risk with explosion/fire?

[@jimmypratt6450]

Nice panel stitching , was that mipa coating the same as the upol rapture ? Great work lads.

[@WACRE44]

❤😊

[@deangaryjames]

Have you ensured the drain tubes that other people have mentioned are clear? From what they say these are the cause of the rot thats been repaired? Great repairs as usual lads

[@upbuild4397]

Hi! Good point made, we’ll give them a good clean and blow through with the air line.

[@shed77]

What is the dream build?

[@MrMikeyspfx]

What product do you use to kill the rust. A lot of guys use POR 15 but I have never tried it so just curious what you recommend. Thanks for the great videos and a happy new year to you and your dad.

[@upbuild4397]

Hi. POR 15 is something I’ve always wanted to try, I’ve also seen quite a few people use it, shame it’s so expensive though. For the rust treatment we use Hammerite Kurust, have done for years and had some good results with it. Regards Mark

[@alexdeakin4266]

Just found your channel and i am enjoying it. I do have some constructive criticism though. Please be very careful with the under seal you spray from the gun. I would wear the other mask you're using for mixing the 2 pack. It's well known in our company for being one of the most toxic / carcinogenic products we stocked. So much so, they won't stock it, along with the old school wax oil. I'd personally have the door open for ventilation and kick your dad out the garage for an hour :D Love the detailed longer videos on KZbin. I know a lot don't have the attention span, so most videos tend to aim for the 12 minute mark. Maybe a mixture of both would be a good balance.

[@stevewoodw]

In the last video the inside of the boot (about 15 min into the video) looked as badly rusted as the holes that you were fixing. Great video but it did leave me wondering about the underside of the car (have you thought about getting the seats out and carpets so you can have a thorough check) and compete the boot and around the engine (if necessary) because it would be a shame to have to go back to welding if you were close to gettting it through an MOT. Also, rusted brake discs can be a fail - the carbide grinding discs aren't bad for this - the new one would have a good flat surface on it and you'd be able to complete the job with, with ease... Question for the Q&A. I watch CT in the US working on his VW Beetle and I quite like his attitude. Maybe he's similar to yourselves - he wants to see something brought back to it's former glory - who do you admire as mechanics or engineers on youtube and why?

Use your Acid Etch primer only on bare metal areas, elsewhere you're wasting product.
