It's really refreshing to see restorations done to this level. How you replace the entire underside is the only way to go. Thanks for sharing your great talent. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Absolutely great! Paul, you’re like a metal surgeon, cutting out what’s bad and stitching it all back together by various means. Great vicarious learning just by watching and listening. I’m looking forward to the next……👍🏻😎👍🏻👍🏻

Paul, can't believe you didn't iron the flag (-:

@johndavey72 4 месяца назад

Lovely jubbly !! Paul , do you plug weld the rear flanges to the scuttle ? When l had gas bottles l used to braze them but l lent them to my best mate and got them back 30 years later , empty with rotten hoses !!!! Cheers !

@PWCV-YT 4 месяца назад

I do plug them

@csakbencee 3 месяца назад

At 17:19 why do you hold that metal(?) block against the panel ?

@PWCV-YT 3 месяца назад

It soaks the heat away from the panel controlling distortion

I'm afraid I'm fully booked for the year. Keep an eye on my facebook and Insta pages to see when my diary opens for next years bookings

@Vtecminivan 4 месяца назад

@PWCV-YT aw okay I'll keep an eye out 😊

@phillipmalkin1169 2 месяца назад

What’s the real cost to the value of that.car in man hours alone plus all the mechanical work and paint work. Most if not all these so called rebuilds that make these cars non original cost way more than the cars worth sad fact but very true

@PWCV-YT 2 месяца назад

Value has little to do with it, it's a hobby, it's about having fun

@PocketRocketGarage 4 месяца назад

1 day Paul I would like to get a quarter as good as you with fabrication and welding!! Loving the work dude

@twiginto 4 месяца назад

Cracking job Paul! So good to see these car bodies restored properly. Cant wait to see what else you've got coming up!

@PWCV-YT 4 месяца назад

The next one is building a brand new 1965 shell from mostly "new old stock" panels. It'll be fun

Love the attention to detail. Would really like to see a video on how you modified the front turn signal mounts. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

@joeb2224 3 месяца назад

Just started watching your channel, very interesting, thank you. Do you film the whole restoration or just the main fabrication? I've watched the van and the Cooper series, will there be more on these? Thanks.

@PWCV-YT 3 месяца назад

I only do the metalwork but when I catch up with the cars once finished off by the owners I will do a video on each of them

Must be tough to hand that over to a painter unless it's someone you know and trust to carry the job forward,

@PWCV-YT 3 месяца назад

It's tough to hand it back to the owner after I've spent a month treating it as my own, they then arrange a painter

@RTC057 4 месяца назад

Really enjoy your videos having just found them. Quick question, how do you protective treat two mating surfaces that have been welded together so they don’t rust? Thanks

@PWCV-YT 4 месяца назад

Key it up and spray on U-Pol weld through primer

@philipsimpkin-w7p 4 месяца назад

Always good to watch and learn well done

@seanfox4551 4 месяца назад

You should look into some of the 3m two pack glues for around the door skins, it's better than Epoxy followed by wax for rust prevention, would also stifen up the door when hard. You do really nice work, people not in the trade won't appreciate the time you'll have out into it.

@seanfox4551 4 месяца назад

*put into it

@PWCV-YT 4 месяца назад

To be honest, I don't like sealer in the skins but that just my opinion
