Fantastic work, Steve. I've been waiting patiently for your next video. Your welding has come a long way been watching from near the beginning of your channel. I hope your finger get better soon. When you described the accident I felt physically sick! Looking forward for many more vids at your own pace of course! Great stuff!
"...should be the last welding video, I am sure of it." Famous last words. :D Great work so far. This BMD will be a right beauty when your done with her. :D
I must admit, I haven't watched your videos in a while, but that's entirely because I'm petrified of what I'll be getting myself into when I eventually move my E30 inside to do similarly extensive rust repair. When that time comes though, this series is going to be priceless for me, so expect a thank you comment on every video lol.
Wow, nice long episode! This was well done and included a "sh*t-ton" of work. Loved watching the progress on this and looking forward to the next episode.
Always nice to see a Restore It video pop up. You're doing really well. It shows that you can do a good job without a bead roller and shrinker/stretcher. I have done a lot of very similar work, and to be honest, it is quicker to make complex shapes by welding a few pieces together than spending hours making hammer forms and messing about trying to get it out of one piece.
You've come a long way. It's amazing how well you have incorporated Tony's techniques and Welding Repair of rust. I think this might have been one of your best videos with the narration and editing and showing what you really had to go through to get these areas dressed. Very impressive.
It's never embarrassing to show a progression of skills learned. You have taken on a huge project and I believe you are doing wonderfully. Maybe get someone or company to provide you with a bead roller and shrinker/stretcher?
Always a good day when a Restore It video gets uploaded! Love the work that you're doing Steve, even though you need to shed some blood and endure the pain to bring us content lol. Keep up the great work that you do & can't wait for the next one!
When I first started watching you, we were both living in different countries. Now we seem to be both living in the same city! I just bought 20 tickets for the raffle. If I win, it'll mean so much to me since I've been watching you ever since the beginning (and watching the progress on this as well!)
Whilst the application of seam sealer on 24 hour old epoxy was fine in terms of adhesion, if leaving more than a couple of days max (look at the epoxy spec sheet) you will need to scuff up the epoxy areas with a scotch brite pad before applying spray underseal, otherwise it will peel off in sheets. Love watching the progress.
I really appreciate your meticulousness and I always follow your videos with great interest, but if I may give you some advice, you absolutely must get a sheet metal bender and a shrinker/stretcher machine. You should not continue to create edges with two flat sheets to weld and grind, it is an extremely long job and presents obvious critical issues. My two cents
If your weld doesn't have to be structually strong, as on the cover plate, it's better to weld vertically downward. You can weld faster thus reducing the temperature of the weld.
Finger accident sounds horrible, hope it's healed well🤞. Why did you remove the zinc primer? Wouldn't the zinc content be handy?Does it not stick as well as epoxy primer?
So this might be a dumb question: If you spray the bare metal with an aerosol, what is the point of adding two part epoxy, as the paint from the aerosol is the adhesion film all the other paint will be dependent on and will be the weakest point in the bonding? Thanks.
Nice video :) English is not my mother tongue and I didn't quite understand when you said *the techniques I learned from “Fixie Fabrication”?* Fissy ? Fexea ? Physi ? 😆 Thanks :)
Fitzies fabrications, it's a TH-cam channel made by a great teacher whose techniques are probably the easiest to learn as he almost only uses very basic tools 💪🏼
Oh wow Man 😮 I’m sorry to hear about your hand 🥴 I have two !! Tickets to win the car. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I’ll be able to transfer them to the next raffle. I can’t say I’m surprised that there’s even more rust than you originally had planned for, isn’t that always the way though ? Remember the Mercedes w123 😱😱🤬 chin up mate. You’ll get there eventually and it will all be worth it. I have to say when you started talking about the cold, I had real pangs of regret for the garage in Spain 🇪🇸 🥰 Slàn Léath Anois.

Great stuff!
I like the moment when you show the before and after. It allows us to appreciate the scale of the work done at the end of the episode.
HALLELUJAH ANOTHER EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be afraid to hold that trigger just a tad bit longer, even on your tacks.
Fantastic work!
well done Sir. This has been a great journey since 2018

Big job again, but well done!
A lot of work tackled there mate. Great job.

Man you are awesome👍 good repair
Excellent progress. It's been great getting to watch you improve over the course of the videos

You are doing great .👌👌.one thing you didn't put any weld through primer between two joins might cause corrosion later
Bang up job mate.
But you're going a bit overboard with some stuff. No one is gonna notice brushmarks for the seam sealer 😂
If you think ordinary welding gloves are too thick, try TIG gloves; they're a lot thinner.
NGL Steven...after all these years, you've become fucking GANDALF OF WELDING lol
get well soon! good to see you're not soaking your whole chassis in evapo rust, that would be silly.

Great video mate. What epoxy primer do you use?
"Sharpened" wood chisel... I feel like you meant "Dull to the point of worthlessness", at least from the point of a woodworker.
So this might be a dumb question: If you spray the bare metal with an aerosol, what is the point of adding two part epoxy, as the paint from the aerosol is the adhesion film all the other paint will be dependent on and will be the weakest point in the bonding? Thanks.
Doesn’t the epoxy primer bond to the zinc rich primer?
It would, but you'd be defeating the object of epoxy, it gets far better adhesion direct to metal.
@ Thank you for answering my question. Does the epoxy have some acid in it to slightly etch the surface so the epoxy adheres better to the metal?

@@biryaniofbodyhair thanks :)
Is this the same car that got sand blasted? Also wondering is this car bad enough to warrant a dip?
