    No matter how many times we watch you recreate these cars,it is just mind-blowing. Absolute master class 👏

    I’ve really enjoyed this so far.
    The work that goes into fabricating new pieces etc is very impressive. It’s easy to see what these restorations are expensive.

    amazing work! New to your channel, but I'd seen your work on someone else's vids. Really appreciate seeing all the steps and honestly, the artwork that is involved in these repairs. Can't wait to see the end result, but don't mind when a video rolls into the next because everything is done RIGHT.

  • @jeffhammond8969
    @jeffhammond8969 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Some of your most intricate fabrication yet Ryan! Love how this is coming together. Would I be correct to assume that you were using thicker steel for the jacking point? Would be interesting to know speed and voltage when you are welding.

  • @southney7211

    This is why it’s worth spending as much money as possible on a car which doesn’t need welding. Involved, even when you have the skills and facilities to repair them. Fair play to you, I don’t think I’d have the patience for it!

    Love the content guys. But I only have one suggestion. Get a bigger music library. All your videos have the same 5 songs. So watching a rebuild playlist is just the same 5 songs on repeat. I love to watch while I work.

    I've done lots of rot repairs in my day back in the 60s and 70s gas welding, arc welding, and mig. It's a horrible job making sure you don't set the car on fire, and lots of fiddly pieces lying on your back getting burnt. As I'm in my 70s I would hate to think I would have to do it now.

    • @gordoncouser5906
      @gordoncouser5906 ปีที่แล้ว

      …since you can’t wait, the orange BMW you mentioned has in fact already made several, albeit very brief and unfeatured appearances, lurking in the background on a few of YCR’s more recent videos, for instance in ‘How Bad Is It ?? : Colin Furze BMW E 30’, which came out approximately 1 month ago. The colour is loud, making the car easy to spot, hope that helps 😊

    Another masterpiece of metal bashing Ryan. Just wondering, don't know if you've ever watched the "Restore It" YT channel, but he found somewhere (in Scandinavia maybe?) that was re-manufacturing a lot of the E30 panels that BMW have discontinued, may be worth a look?

    @CH11LER. ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm starting to think, no matter how much you are charging AutoAlex, it's not enough.
    He would have probably been better getting a better condition frame, acid dipping it, having you do your magic on it, then new paint and a full rebuild.

      I actually need a dent fixing on my car. I may have jacked it up at the wrong point when I got a puncture one night coming home from work and couldn't see what I was doing.
      Would love to have it repaired by a pro

  • @naikjoy
    @naikjoy ปีที่แล้ว

    So in theory.. as far as I understand Alex made his first ever youtube video with a E30.. and he said E30 touring is his favorite. When he called you he did look depressed asf when he asked you if you could do even the E30............. would be funny tho if Alex just bins it in the third roundabout when he gets his hands on this- his so called dream car xD . Depression intensifies. Anyways Good JOB MAN!

  • @johnmarsh2078
    @johnmarsh2078 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I'm all for originality but remanufacturing a three skinned rust trap when no self respecting car enthusiast would use such a horrible jacking point. I can't see the point. Use a jack under a suspension mount or arm for heaven's sake. I never replaced the horrible jacking points on MGBs etc as they were rot traps and surplus to requirements. You'll have to flood the back of the sills with thin oil to make sure it gets between all those layers of metal because condensation certainly will when the car sleeps outside in our misty/moisty atmosphere.

    • @fritsified5952
      @fritsified5952 ปีที่แล้ว

      I fully agree. Some good work, but I also won't replace jacking points on my project car. Also, I will not put a seam sealer on the inside of the arch, as it takes away the possibility of pouring a capillary rust prohibitor in between those layers. It looks to me the sealer creates and ideal place for moisture to collect and hide the nasty work it will do.

    • @johnmarsh2078
      @johnmarsh2078 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Dead right. Seam sealer harbours rust and deflects anti corrosion oils from where they do most good.

    • @GT380man
      @GT380man 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wouldn’t be at all surprised if, was YCR doing the car for themselves, they might do exactly what you suggested.
      I think what’s happening here is a showcasing of the art of the possible, as an advertisement of the attention to detail and capabilities of the restoration company. While it’s arguably not worth it with this BMW, it would be with a vintage Ferrari or Jaguar, where the owner feels an obligation to the future to have repairs remanufactured to original. Just my 2c worth of guessing!

    • @davidwhiteman4649
