If a car is so rusty it needs a lot of effort and patience, skill is a prerequisite. Keep up the good work.

Love your work and the willingness to share how you go about the processes of rust repair and repair panel fabrication. I notice that in all of your posts, you utilise predominantly, the disc grinder, to remove the affected area. Just curious; do you ever use a plasma cutter in your work, as it seems to becoming a prolific industry tool nowadays? Oh and I marvel at how you and the Team, remember where all the wiring hooks up. Electrics are my nemesis!

Hi Brian. We used to have a plasma cutter but it broke, we are currently saving for a new one :)

I’d have been tempted to ask you guys to fit entirely new inner wings instead of just the front pieces, that’s so crusty around the filler neck!

[@YootubeUK]

Nice! I was wondering, do you use just 0.8 wire on everything or 0.6 on some bodywork? That 911 reminds me of the countless VW Beetles that I put panels in years ago as I was learning my way! Always nice to see welding restorations on stuff, even if I'll never own that car.

[@lucaudibert1441]

is it worth repairing? Just need a new body indeed. Patching is not so great no?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

clean body shells aren't available, and when they are they are extortionate amounts of money so this is usually the only way to keep them on the road when done correctly :)

[@powervan100]

you need to change that soundtrack. It's doing my head in

[@jeffhammond8969]

so why not use spot weld drill bits and panel splitter?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Spot weld drill bi s take off too much of the metal that is to be left to weld to for my liking, it's just the way I work :) for me this way preserves the remaining metal :)

[@garethmayfield4014]

Is the car not at the stage where it needs stripping and dipping. so you know where you are?? especially as you are modifying it.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thats not what the customer wants and has been said it's also a lot more money and a lot more work

[@kristianrave]

at minute 14:20 i see a white car in the background. Can't wrap my head around it. What is it? Looks like someone went "creative" on an early Porsche :D Also i am just learning bodywork on my Porsche 912 and learning from your videos. Thanks and keep up the good work ;)

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Thank you :) it's our next series :) an Aston Martin DB6 :)

[@samwalton4598]

I was wondering why you couldn’t just lop off the front clip from the gas tank forward and start with all new metal? May improve integrity and strength of the front end ? I’m not a body guy, just wondering from a layman.

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

Well for one it would cost a fortune. Two can't find second hand good ones as they are still on the shell as there is no need to cut a clean shell up and three if that was the process we would need the floors (as you will see in later videos), sills rear inner arch 1/4 etc so basicly almost all the car so why not just shell it, but by the time you factor into it replacing and transferring all the parts and doing the modifications to it. You may has well gone out and purchased a genuine clean ST, this way is much much cheaper and much more fun for us and our viewers like yourself :)

[@thefreedomguyuk]

​@@yorkshirecarrestoration Not sure you actually can find many ST's to buy. I'd wager they are a bit like rocking horse droppings ?

[@yorkshirecarrestoration]

This is typical for this year car :) yes it would be better to get a whole front end but a good front end is rare and very exspensive as it would be attached to a good back end and if it's got a good backend it would be dismantled for parts it would be a good car as this is the main reason they are scrapped :)

It must be beyond economical repair with this much work needed? The time you guys will put in to this will be immense. If its done at home it’s just materials costs, but paying Someone is another question.
