This is true restoration, not just cutting parts and replacing them with new ones but carefully cutting and replacing what has been effected by rust. A pleasure and an inspiration to watch, keep up the good work!
I caught my wife watching this over my shoulder, she was very impressed and said he never swears all the time like you !!!! Cos i am a sparkie, yes but you still swear!! I never said i was any good did I !!
Not going to lie, I was expecting better treatment of the strut tower, given it still had evidence of corrosion on it before spraying on some weld through primer. I get the shape and location might make it hard to get a spot blaster in, but at least apply some vactan while you’re cutting the panel or something, it’s better than nothing. I would’ve also applied something a bit less porous on top of the weld through primer - epoxy mastic is my go to for chassis repair. Impressed with the welding of the patch though.
You havent even asked how it's going to be treated later you just judge immediately, maybe anything that's treated now in there that will actually keep further rust away is flamable and we are going to weld it up and don't want it to ignite. Again maybe wait till the job is complete then judge. All those areas are still accesable, thank you for watching anyway.
I have wrote it before, you are doing a fantastic job. I sittingnhere and wondering if it not would be easier for you to build a porsche from scratch? You are so proffesional
Steve; love that modification you put into that pipe blanking flange, to form the bead sections on the inner guard, Simple, but effective thinking outside the box!
What you can do with a hammer and a pair of tin snips beggars belief. Not to mention the only CAD techniques you use are Cardboard Aided Design. Truly amazing ❤
Love this channel. I was a sheet metal worker early in my career so I can appreciate the difficulties you face in shaping the material. Would have stayed on the tools if I'd have thought of branching into this as a career. Keep up the good work and the content coming👍
New to this channel, found you guys via Colin Furze and his BM you're working on. I was horrified at how much rotten metal you tore off his car, but honestly man the metalwork skill on show in this video was superb! I'm hooked - loving the amount of detail shown, thank you for making such cool films!
It's like watching magic chaps. That Porker inner Erich repair, take a straight strip of metal, fold it, cut some slots in it, whack it with a hammer a few times and it fits perfect. Weld it in and the jobs done faster than it would have taken to bridge it.
Fantastic skill Steve, I’d have eaten that sheet of steel before I could ever had made something like that wing repair piece, true skill, thanks for the videos !😀🇮🇪
I've binge watched the Porsche project over the last couple of days, in the beginning I thought it might have been a better idea to brace it and hot tank the whole thing. Now I know you would have only got the braces and a doily back.
Steve those panels you guys make are almost as good as stock! I have a question to ask unrelated to the Porche - is there going to be more work done on the Suzuki? I'm having withdrawal symptoms.
Is there a reason you don’t use a rust conversion spray on the inner panels? There is still rust in the pits of the inner panels and will continue to rust with just weld through primer
Smash it again stevo, bloody good work!!! Qq do you have to wipe the insides of the panels down before weld through primer or will the primer stick regardless? Thanks mate
Top work as always, that car would give a mk6/mk7 transit a run for its money with rust,rust and more hidden rust 🙈, Are you going to sandblast the car whenever all the fabrication is complete?
Fantastic job as always Steve. Do you ever use the Halfords branded weld through primer rather than the zinc? I have seen a few youtube videos showing that it has much better rust resistance than the zinc or coper over time. I've started using it and it seems OK. Looks much more like etch rather then the silver from zinc. Wondered if you guys had a view on it?
Here in Germany car welded through corners of sheet metal will never again pass MOT if they discover that, valid for structure parts like inner wing or chassis. So called cosmetic parts that hold nothing like outer wing one can do what he likes and nobody cares. For structural parts it is allowed to weld at least 10mm from corners but never where the corners are or where metal bends at 90 degrees like here. UK seems to be less much less complicated, at least for fabricators.
You’d need a very big tank of acid! How would you avoid wetting with acid those parts you don’t want to have acid on? Disposal of contaminated acid an additional challenge.
Great work! A camera just doesn't show all the rust nuances at first quick glance, this thing was in far worse nick than I thought. Took a while to get there but at least now it's solid enough that it won't use it's biological inhabitants as crumple zone 😁 Really satisfying watching you do all the welds, sometimes getting the right setting for beads like that, binding fresh steel to pitted (but cleaned) steel, without burning through, can be really hard.
It's fascinating to watch the process of recreating the rusted out and ill repaired sections...
That`s what i like about your work, attention to detail and second best will not do attitude.
Watching a true master craftsman making it look so so easy, but it isn't, we all know that don't we.
Amazing work saving classics one car at a time.
This is true restoration, not just cutting parts and replacing them with new ones but carefully cutting and replacing what has been effected by rust. A pleasure and an inspiration to watch, keep up the good work!
Great work this is how its done perfect
I love watching these videos, I have learned so much about making replacement panels etc thanks so much 👍👍
This is craftsmanship, fabrication and art. The artisan welder.
Hi Steve. It's magic.
One word only, BRILLIANT.
Thank you John :)
Brilliant to watch you shape steel around these incredibly complex shapes.
Really enjoying this, I came for Mat E24 and have been watching this, the Cosmo and the Datsun
Glad your enjoying the vids Ian :)
I caught my wife watching this over my shoulder, she was very impressed and said he never swears all the time like you !!!!
Cos i am a sparkie, yes but you still swear!!
I never said i was any good did I !!
Great video-thank you
It’s our pleasure Steve :)
Totally mesmerising . Your usual brilliant work Steve
You guys are Master Craftsman!!! You make it look so easy! And I know it’s not!!! Fabulous job!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
It's great watching you guys fabricating panels, sheer craftsmanship, thanks for filming all you and your lad get up to Steve

Thabk you Peter. Maybe I'll try building a full car one day 😂
Čistá práce! zdraví vás česká republika
Nice watching the pros doing it…nice job 👍
Looks like when you guys take on a vehicle project, it covers every bit of rust where ever that could be. Thumbs Up!
Great! Bravo Steve.
Thank you 👍
A joy to watch...You make it look easy Steve....🤔😳😏😏😀🇬🇧
Inspirational work thanks for the show
looks brand new.
Thank you John. :)
Just brilliant
Thank you Excellent work
As always: Pure Art-Work. Well done
Just like sculptures in wood are done with chainsaws - Steve could do something similar in metal with an angle grinder
Great work. Thanks for the video.
Awesome fabrication skill set on display Steve. I'm intrigued by the barrel hidden behind the sill panel what is it's purpose
Heater channel?
Steve; love that modification you put into that pipe blanking flange, to form the bead sections on the inner guard, Simple, but effective thinking outside the box!
Flipping genius 👏

Very good work.
Thanks you
Fantástico again Steve and you always smile you are so good at what you do well done
Another masterclass in panel beating 😀
Stunning.
This is beginning to look like Trigger's broom. Great job though, very interesting.

Would be great to see you work on that DB6 that's lurking in the background?
I agree - it really would’ve great
Fantastic skill Steve, I’d have eaten that sheet of steel before I could ever had made something like that wing repair piece, true skill, thanks for the videos !😀🇮🇪
30min prime time TH-cam time for today. Excellent work!
Awesome workmanship as always!
it's looking more like what Dr. Porsche intended every episode! Can't wait for the next video, always appointment viewing.❤
Awesome work 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you we appreciate the support :)
You sir are a Master 🤝
You make it look so easy Maestro!
fantastic .well done
Nicely done!

Thank you micky :)
Another impressive bit of work 👍🏻
bloddy amazing steve
Great job again Steve....love watching your work!
👍💪
Great job Steve!
Excellent work
Great work as always...when I get the mg finished, I'll bring it down so you can have a laugh
really nice work
I've binge watched the Porsche project over the last couple of days, in the beginning I thought it might have been a better idea to brace it and hot tank the whole thing.
Now I know you would have only got the braces and a doily back.
outstanding, magic 😇
Good stuff Mr Steve
Excellent bit of fab work, keep the videos coming.
Awesome work Sir!!!! It's like art!!
Amazing work!
Steve you make this look easy - we all know it isnt!
Love to know where you get those auto tint prescription welding glasses from.
Another good one steve.
Thanks once again Steve for an informative video; I aways learn so much. One question: what size grit do you use in your belt grinder?
Great job looks factory😎👍
Outstanding work Steve and truly mesmerising! :)
Great work as always Steve 👍how’s everything going 🤔
Top!
So schnell möchte ich auch Flexen und Schweißen können. 👍👍🔨🔨🔨
"Impressive..most impressive"
One for the algorithm. Regards.
They ever think about going the acid bath method...may cut down a lot of time
👍👍👍👍
Steve those panels you guys make are almost as good as stock! I have a question to ask unrelated to the Porche - is there going to be more work done on the Suzuki? I'm having withdrawal symptoms.
Thank you and yes there is going to be more suzuki vids but we are waiting to finish matts cars so we can get back on it :)
Is there a reason you don’t use a rust conversion spray on the inner panels? There is still rust in the pits of the inner panels and will continue to rust with just weld through primer
Smash it again stevo, bloody good work!!! Qq do you have to wipe the insides of the panels down before weld through primer or will the primer stick regardless? Thanks mate
I’m not watching car restoration videos today. I’m not watching car restoration videos today. I’m not.. oh look YCR, hooray.
Top work as always, that car would give a mk6/mk7 transit a run for its money with rust,rust and more hidden rust 🙈, Are you going to sandblast the car whenever all the fabrication is complete?
ура новое изучение 🤑🙂
Glad your enjoying the videos

Is there going to be anything left of the original wing by the time you've finished with it?
I think acid dipping would be a faster way of deep cleaning the body from rust... And save you many hours og work with the wire wheel... 🙂
You’d need a very big tank of acid! How would you avoid wetting with acid those parts you don’t want to have acid on? Disposal of contaminated acid an additional challenge.
I assume it was sponsored by Silverline
Nope but people ask us all the time what disks we use so it’s easier showing it :)
I watch and wonder how long t has taken to build and collect all dies you use
Old mate never uses ear defenders.
Great work! A camera just doesn't show all the rust nuances at first quick glance, this thing was in far worse nick than I thought.

Hey Dr Metal!!! Stop cutting away at the metal! The cancer is spreading faster than you can cut away at it. Lol
Haha it dose seem that way :)
how many hours in that panel with the 2, ball-peened beads?
Shell under inner arch still looks a bit dark and cruddy anything that can be done there.
Wondering if you turn cars away if they’re not rusty enough 😂
