Matt says hard work beats talent but you Ryan have put in a double shift of both hard work and talent!
Well done 👏🏻
What a grafter you are Ryan, you and your dad are inspirational. 👍😎
You could display that stripped and polished shell in an art gallery, it's a thing of beauty.
+1
Ryan’s standard of work is absolutely awesome!! His meticulous attention to detail is superb. He’s defo the best
So close to 100k gents! Very well deserved. Hats off to you all at YCR 👍
A roll cage is a horrendous idea on this classic. BTW where is @MatArmstrongbmx during this build?
MAs the brainiac..
My guess big honking wing, loud exhaust turn it into a boy racer
Did you see his latest RS6 build? All it's missing is a baseball cap welded on the roof 🤮
It would be awful after so much car to really put this classic back together, to just slap stuff on and do burnouts.@@christopherkutchma9226
You should dip it, strip it from paint, then strip it for rust, then bake it for future rust protection, then paint, otherwise in two years it's back for more bodywork. Sandblasting is history.
Amazing work.
I hope you are actually being paid for this job and not just MA paying through his name and TH-cam clicks. Your work deserves more respect than clicks for cash.
At the start I thought MA was going to restore this as I really like these Bmers. However, a roll cage would indicate no such idea. He's gonna race it. Oh well....😢
Ryan your doing an amazing job ! I just worry that you've been given an unrealistic timetable to get this thing done 😥 look after yourself your only young once.
I made a rotisserie for my morris 1000 tourer, welded t frames for support at each end, a new scaffold pole to link the 2 T frames, scaffold clips to attach pole to T frames. Worked very well.
It's a great job Ryan and you're an epic hard worker, but no car is worth making yourself ill over. If the schedule has to wait a few days then so be it. Don't work yourself to death! 👍
Mats famous saying is Hard Work Beats Talent but in your case i hard work you do is a bonus, without the Talent this would be scrapped now. Nice job, looking forward to seeing the paint.
Rust never sleeps, and neither does Ryan by the sounds of it!
I have to say it continually amazes me how Ryan can freehand draw a straight line on a piece of shiny metal with a Sharpie when I’ve got no hope of doing it on a sheet of graph paper with a pencil!
At 3am no less, so probably sleep deprived too!
Wow, it’s never ending.
I know these things rust but this one is just full of it.
Such dedication Ryan
more rust than steel ;(
Gusset, what an excellent word. Almost as good as moist.
A bloody roll cage in this 😮 what the hell is the chav going to do to ruin this classic 😢
Miouw. Agreed.
Agreed.
that takes some strength of character - to work thru the night in Baltic weather ✊
Epic work as always, your dedication to getting it as close to original is amazing, but do take time for yourself and don’t worry about deadlines, this sort of job is a rabbit hole at the best of times, your restoring these gorgeous classics to a high standard and we all appreciate that and the work you put in to showing us and making great content 👌
Man after all this work done at no cost (from what I've read) that roll cage should say YCR instead of MA. Amazing work man!
How on earth do you keep going Ryan......Working sooooo many hours is not healthy young man....heed my words. You'll thank me later in life..... You and your dad are brilliant. Have you considered chemical dipping rather than blasting to remove all organics ( paint, filler, sealant, etc. )?
dipping decreases the strength of the metal therefore making it weaker and possibly quicker to rot
Shhh … he suffers for our entertainment!
People who love what they do do not keep an eye on the clock.
As all others haves@id you are working too many all nighters - hence the bend being the wrong way - your mind needs more sleep well done young man
Working long hours IS good for young people ❤
I really hope Mat goes for a 90's touring car look with this project especially with the Valvoline sponsorship (those decals would look great)
Superb craftsmanship as always too!
Ryan = madman. Hero-level hustle.
You are a machine Ryan! Awesome craftsmanship as usual
What a craftsmanship, respect from a mechanical design engineer! :)
Awesome video as usual Ryan but does it not feel like a bit of a kick in the teeth to put all this hard work and craftsmanship into this classic BMW only to find out it's getting a roll cage fitted and god knows what else?
I wish I didn’t agree with you, but I do. Obviously it’s the owners call, but…
Yep, a beautiful classic having beautiful restoration work done, and then sticks a roll cage in... apprehensive about what else is coming.
Owners choice I suppose.
The only consolation is Matt doesn’t normally crash his cars but a roll cage in the event of worst case scenario will minimise a bad outcome. Also the cage is removable. Let’s just hope the car is not mongrelised too much in the engine bay.
100% for getting in that rear quarter boot panel! If I ever have a car that needs restoring, I would definitely bring it to you guys! No stone left unturned restoration!
I've been following this thread, along with all the other projects at YCR, and this has been absolutely epic. it was almost a bag of rust held together with a bit of metal - it should have been consigned to the dustbin. No mere mortal would have taken on this challenge. How many times have we heard you say 'we've only got such and such to do' only to uncover yet another can of worms. Hats off to you guys, I love the way you switch between your various projects it keeps it all fresh, but it's all super watchable and we never quite know what's coming next.
Ryan you my mate are truly one in a million if you ever need a change of job I honestly think Baz from welder Fabber would definitely give you a job the hours you work the craftsmanship is outstanding 👍
So with the comments I guess your names Ryan? Came to follow the progress of this resto, watched from the beginning. Your a master of craft mate. Once this is finished I will be starting one of the other series. I know I won't be disappointed 👌 keep it up lad.
nearly there its been a hard graft ryan but you have been upto the challenge all the way from stsrt to finish well done mate i have nothing but admiration for all the great work you do...
This is great British engineering and craftsmanship at it’s best. A masterclass in restoration.
Well done , love the drive u have to get things done , great to see a responsible youngster, well done keep it up , I do the same as we all have to accomplish our targets
I used to work that hard to mate. But age chips away at you. I hope you're being paid well for the long hours and commitment you're putting into this beautiful car. Have a beer and get some sleep man.
its quite amazing, you fabricating bits and pieces to match what the factory stanced out with several tons of press machinery...that is pure skills.
One gets the sense your are working now to strict(er) deadline? I hope there is a good reward waiting for you for all of this hard work done, and you're not just doing this "pro bono." As always, great work man.
This is quality at it's best. Come on 100,000!
The time and effort involved in this restoration is incredible. Love your attention to detail and not rushing anything. Those all-nighters can't be much fun!
Am I the only one to be confused why after all this work Matt is asking for a roll cage to be installed. Are we going to see this back every week needing repairs after being in the local stock car race?
After all that effort Matt is turning this into a track car?????? MASSIVE SHAME IF TRUE
oh wow, big progress seeing the car off the rotisserie finally - can't wait to see the sand blasting now!
Amazing amount of rust replacement. Will be stunning when painted and finished.
Great work Ryan
12:54 you look like you lived, in the shop for 3 weeks doing fabrication-work. Relax, take a vacation you deserve it 👍🙏
Unbelievable Ryan. I know you are still young and are having to work like this because of some crazy deadline that has just happened, but please look after yourself. I ran my own business for 40 years and had to do loads of all-nighters. I did my last one when I was 60 and swore I would never do another, which I am glad to say I haven't. You are tired, freezing cold, this is when accidents happen. You got away with just bending something the wrong way, but it could easily be a slip with the grinder. As others say, no car is more important than your health and well being. Anyway, all that said, you are producing some of the best restoration videos on TH-cam, we are all very lucky to be able to follow your projects.
Amazing progress and lovely fabrication work. This 6 series will look amazing.
Ryan your work is first class and I am hoping Matt is going to build it into a JPS replica
Трудоёмкий труд, люди возвращают легенды, за что огромное спасибо
bit gutted that by the looks of it matt is going to use this as a track car, wasn't to fussed if it was not going to be fully restored thought it would be done to matts taste which always turns out awesome anyway but just seems a waste to be put on a track after all this work for it to be possibly crashed off walls ect lol but each to there own
Agreed.
This man's work is impeccable absolutely amazing work and craftsmanship is 10 to none 👏
Shocking amount of work. I think id never want to get that car wet again.
Love your videos. Take it from me, you're young now but it will take it's toll on you as you get older Ryan. Don't take the well meaning comment and laugh them off matey.
Every step is a forward step. Good work man.
I know one thing good buddy Ryan you are a very extremely smart man your skills are out of this world 🌎 good...be sure you take care of yourself buddy and get plenty of rest, I always was the type of person that tried to do everything in one day and now I'm paying for it with arthritis. its rough stuff buddy I hope 🙏 and pray you and your dad never get arthritis..I really enjoyed watching this awesome 👌 👏 video my friend.
57 year old car tinkerer here,Outstanding work young man
Finally caught up on the build. this is coming along amazingly, Mat seriously owes you guys a huge shoutout.
Congrats on 100k
Amazing to see the vast amount of paper being used in this car restoration. Keep up the amazing job Ryan. 👍🏼
nearly 100k! it’s a pleasure watching you work. thank you.
Give this man “ knighthood “ he deserves it someone call the Royals 👏💯🤜🏾💪👑
Take my hat off too you mate, epic work and craftsmanship.
Amazing craftsmanship 10/10👍
Great to see the E24 nearly complete. We have dry ice blasted a few of these but relatively rust free versions 😂 What a great job you've done Ryan. Unbelievable
Excited to see where this car is now! ❤
You are an absolute monster mate, really enjoying the videos
Soooooooo close to 100k, way to go Ryan hard work and dedication. You are driving the channel forward 👏
Amazing work let’s hope it’s appreciated after all the hours and craftsmanship I hope you have an appreciative to share your skills with
Felicidades...excelentes trabajos de muy alta calidad...soy su fan # 1 desde México. Saludos
I just love your channel and all you do. Keep up the good work.
On another note what is that grey jeep that I keep see bit off in the videos. Looks a lush little thing.
WOW Ryan, that's some fantastic fabrication work. Not forgetting the origami aswell 👌👏
Wow the skill u have id love to learn bodyrepair
Done awsome job as always
Ryan some Grafter you are hats off 💪 that 100k it's getting closer 👀
Alkaline paint and rust removal doesn't damage panels and gets into places media can't. Not cheap but worth it if you want a rust free car .Australia
Holy that's a lot of work and a lot more sweepings in the bmx box
You're a beast, doing so much work and cranking out videos. Pretty awesome.
well done on 100k gents, you would have thought by now Matt would have given you a shout out & an update on your progress of his car so far. Probably to busy touring around America etc
Hats off man, a true artisan you are Ryan, i could watch this all night, : )
Good job!
Cracking work Ryan ! 👍🏻😉👏👏👏👏
Brilliant work Ryan 👌
So close to a well deserved 100k👏👏
I like that you strive for perfection! Wonderful to watch! 👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
amazing, well done Ryan
Is there a reason that you don’t use a place like Enviro-Strip and have the vehicle dipped and the a e-coated dip application? With the amount of rust on the vehicle that you guys restore if it’s in the customers budget seems like a no brainer.
Fantastic work and skill
Ryan, you are a machine!
You deserve so many more subscribers amazing work as usual
Hey, Close to 100k! Way to the Million speeds Up 🥰🤘
Cant wait to see the Car finished!
Really wish Matt would give you the recognition you deserve!
Im sure he will...future content
geez rian ! this bloddy BMW is never ending , by the way it was nice to see the man with the excepionaly large biceps again we have not seen him for a while
⚠⚠⚠Please please please reconsider the half cage. Half cages act as a pivotpoint and then the roof becomes a lever. Because of the added support for the B and C pillar, parts of the stress go into the chassis, but parts also go to the unsupported A pillar raising the risk of collapsing A pillars. If that happens the roof will fold right into your face crushing your head. Because the head is almost in the pivotpoint your head will experience maximum lever effect. Extend the cage to the front, including A pillars or get the cage out. This is potentially deadly. ⛔⛔⛔
🤓☝
Lol...
It's matts car, let him worry about it, it's probably safer than the other high end heaps he runs about in
incredible..
Skills mate
Matt definitely owes you a HWBT hoodie or two for this effort.
Another great update but please once this is done take a short break before starting the next one
Special as always. Beware of too many long days let alone all nighters.
You did ALL THAT WORK so Matt could race the car? That's sad guys, I pray he doesn't bend it.
No more watching MA...😂😂😂...Watching YCR all the time now...❤
You’ve earned my sub Ryan 👍 awesome work
Cannot wait to see it finished!
For the love of the car.! Almost car. SOS contentThx for Sharing the work, hope that MA Keepsthe car andtakes car of it for the future to come..
keep it up! amazing work you guys are pulling off!
