I am really enjoying this channel. These pros are doing the stuff I and my friends used to do 30 years ago on Cortinas and Hunters but with just hammers and oxy-acetylene. We got there but nothing like as stylishly and with our repairs needing more filler to true them up. Then again we had no shrinkers or stretchers (LUXURY), folders, rollers or cropper. "Tin-snip hand" was a regular condition and the 4.5" angle grinder was a super tool of our dreams.

We all had the Cortinas . I think Steve's first car was a Mk 1 golf . Mine was a Datsun f11

watching old body filler with rust get replaced with fresh sheet metal gives same sensation as binge watching blackhead/pimple/hair removal videos at 3 am, so good and once you realize what you can fix on your car you just can't stop

@eliseviv Жыл бұрын

Hi, Love the craftsmanship. When you are Mig-ing the small panels together, it appears to be a series of tack welds. Is this an artifact of filming, or is this what is happening (I do notice occassionally a half second weld) I presume the wirespeed is higher than would be a regular setting? Thanks again for such a fabulous video series.

@Afrodizyak47 Жыл бұрын

Yep it is basically a series of tack w/ stitch welds in order to minimise heat and distortion, Technique is to space pot a series of tack welds to set the sections in place and then use the cutting disc to open up the panel to finish weld. By working your way across the join from side to side, build a tack on the preceding one; wait till the weld bead just glows red and then add the next weld onto that. Sometimes you need to cool the weld with compressed air so as to keep the adjoining panel from too much shrinkage, Again it depends on the shape and size of the panel. In my limited attempth, I have used a higher than recommended setting, in order to get a penetration. I think Steve has covered this in some of his previous welds m but for a more in depth on this "cut and shut" technique, "Fitzee's Fabrications" has a few videos on it. I love watching YCR, Steve, Ryan and Crew, doing their stuff, as it is the right way to go about it.

Todays job dropped in here is a Gen 1 1970's Hilux tub. It's Unobtainium to replace & is also in complete tatters. I already did most of the other panels on this vehicle, the doors, cab, etc etc - it has arrived piecemeal. Last big hurdle is the tub.. I have - tbh - not a clue where to even start - there isn't a rust free square inch. Everything is rotten. Only "Plan" I have is to get a mate with a big industrial blaster to blast the whole thing, go from there taking it entirely apart & rebuilding every individual panel, then put it back together. I'd rather face into 20 BMW E24's than one Hilux tub - they are a total nightmare when you delve into them. Blaster picks it up in the morning - say prayers for me.

Why didn't you put one single tac weld on the inside of the piece that you made 🤔 only to grind off all the weld you put on the outside.😊

@yorkshirecarrestoration Жыл бұрын

I'm guessing you mean why did I weld both side then grind down the outside. Doing this give enough metal/weld to put a radius on that edge and not leave the metal thin. If I didn't then when I put a radius on it there would be a possibility I would have ground through it.

I am currently restoring an E31, 840Ci, the E24 was kind of the forerunner. There are no parts like that any more, so you have no choice but to make them. But as an example, BMW made a rear wheel arch repair section for the E31, the last time I checked they were still available, wait for it, £1000 each side. I am currently having to re-make the radiator support panel, it is no longer available from BMW. It is the worst single panel I have EVER encountered. It is made entirely from bends, curves raised edges, complex holes, you name it. I have had to make it from at least 20 smaller sections of metal all butt welded together. The amount of welding and grinding is just insane. Steve and the guys are just sensational in my opinion.
