    love your enthusiasm, your very 👐 handy with bodywork. 🤔 👍

      Thanks 😊 still not sure it’s going to be good enough but we shall see! The only way to get the line straighter is to get a metal folding thingy! Also with that I can go past 90 degrees soo less hammering on the panel and less distortion! They’re cheap enough but I don’t know if I’ve got the storage for it😂😂😂

    I take my hat off to you! So good to see all this work being done, and you saving a car that is going to be a beauty! Very much looking forward to seeing the next episode.

      Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying it! It’s extremely satisfying saving something that could easily be scrapped!

    That's a good way to keep the doors integrity in it's gaps, and fit, which can be very difficult. Great to see how you do these job's. Cheers Bob

    I had some quite good results by laying the new part over the panel and ising a really thin disc to cut along. This left about 1mm gap to weld up between the old and new panels and when done the contour flowed nicely. Im not an expert by any means but it worked like magic!! I got that method off a other youtube channel :-)

      As you can tell no expert either! Always happy to hear some advice n tips! I’ll give it a go on some patches!

    Your project is going well and some excellent video editing. One thing, I recall reading Matt Armstrong saying that if he made a bright thumb nail photo for his videos they got more clicks, hence he wears bright hoodies and takes his thumbnail photos outside. Good luck!

      Thanks glad you’re enjoying it! I’ll give that a go should be easier with the next one! The cars gotta come outside anyway 😂

    One piece of advice, cover over the glass & move it out of the way, those grinder sparks will eat into it, ask me how I know. Great job keep it up, it’s a long process but once you start putting things back on it just starts to fly. I used self tapping screws to temporarily hold the panels when I rebuild my MGB back in the 1980’s but clecos are much easier to use & I’ve managed to pick more up at car boot sales.

    Yep super progress, most useful tool is that builders set square , use it all the time , also won't take long for repairs after the other side is done , should be a lot easier from then ,

    • @Boothsmotors
      @Boothsmotors  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hopefully! There’s still the front end which I’m not looking forward to!

    Well done mate. Good to see the young'uns getting stuck in. If you want to take an old timer's advice, don't buy one of those cheapo metal folders that go in the vice, they are just about better than nothing. 2 pieces of angle iron and clamps work as good or even better. Go for one of the more substantial ones. Also, a jigsaw with a good metal cutting blade is great for sheet steel cutting, you get so much distortion with tin snips. Check out Dave's Garage channel if you get a bit of time. He gets some great results from basic tools in his own garage.

    • @Boothsmotors
      @Boothsmotors  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s a great idea with the angle iron wish I’d of known that before! Diy metalwork can be difficult with limited tools at home! ( and trying to be quiet for the neighbours!)

    Making some serious progress there mate. Nice work.

    Making great progress i was hoping to see you put a step edge on the door skin repairs so they would of then sat level with each other. Rather than just an overlap. Save on filler to to get door profile back.

    • @Boothsmotors
      @Boothsmotors  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks 😊 ermm yeah my compressors currently not working not sure if it’s a fuse or what I’ve had several issues with it all since I built a soundproof box around it… (I kept getting complaints from the neighbours)

    • @Boothsmotors
      @Boothsmotors  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Tbh I’ll probably keep it original with the yellow it’s a bold colour but I like it!

    • @driftwood1906
      @driftwood1906 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Probably best to stick to original colour, otherwise changing it can devalue the car.

    You need to protect the glass otherwise you’ll have spatter marks from the grinder and welding!!!

    • @Boothsmotors

      I know I only noticed during editing! There’s no marks and it’s safely stored in the loft!

    Use proper penetrating oil, WD 40 isn't the best for that job.

      Could you recommend a specific brand ?

  • @stevesankey6339

    Are you putting the drain holes back in the bottom of the door 😳 I think you are speeding on with this a little too quick, slow down abit and you will end up with a much better car at the end. I am. Only saying this as I have done what you are doing on my own car.

    • @Boothsmotors
      @Boothsmotors  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Drain holes have been drilled I’ll show them in the next video! My camera died hence the big skip ! I’m still not 100% sure if I’ll re-do the bottom skin I might purchase a metal folder/bender… they can bend past 90degs so no hammering/ distortion and do longer straighter folds!
