Hi and welcome back to the next video on the restoration of my Escort RS Turbo.
In this video I will finishing off the rear wheel arch and getting it fully welding in using a technique that Dave over at Dave’s Garage demonstrated on his channel. Let’s hope I have as much success with this welding method as he had.
Thanks to all my subscribers as we have managed to reach over 500 of you so thank you very much for becoming a subscriber to the channel and I hope you continue to enjoy the progress on the RS Turbo.

Nice job looks really nice I’d be very happy with that 👌 I’ve been watching Dave for a long time he’s super talented and a great chap I’ve learned so much from him to 👍

Thank you, yes Dave has been a great help with welding techniques and explains everything in great detail. I will try get another video out soon.👍

Ah, thanks for the shout out 😊😊. You've done a cracking job of that, it's a scary thing to do, and the potential for messing things up is huge. But that looks as good as it gets, you'll always get distortion with welding, just a case of finding ways to minimise it.

Thanks Dave, yes I was putting off welding the arch in as I was so worried about the distortion in the panel but after watching you do your bubble arches and the new technique my arch went on a dream. Keep up the good work Dave with the videos and projects.👍

you could in theory just remove the btm of the front wing to give better access to the sill end then weld it back on after, if you're careful with the cut/weld position then the btm of the bodykit arch should cover it, great job 👍

Hi thank you for the comment, I hadn’t of thought about just cutting the bottom of the wing off to gain access but I think that is the best way round repairing the front of the sill now as a few people have commented the same thing so I’m looking forward to getting stuck into the repair now.👍

Thanks Phil, I’m amazed I’ve reached 800 subs. I just love rebuilding cars and the RS. I so pleased that others are enjoying the build too!👍

Thanks Sid, yes the new welder has made a massive difference. I didn’t think to just cut the bottom of the wing off but thanks, that’s a great idea and I will do the over sill repair that way. Thanks again Sid👍

If you have a compressor blowing air on the weld wil reduce panel warp.

I cut the bottom of the wing off and welded the entire sill on, the sill forms the bottom of the A pillar, then replace the cut wing back in place.

@ModernClassics81 Год назад
Great thanks for the info, I think that is the route I will take with repairing the front of the sill. 👍

Panel bond would have been the thing to use around the arch we use it for roof skins and other panels it's very very strong once bonded

I noticed the RS still had rear hubs originally, have you got plans for those?
@ModernClassics81
@ModernClassics81 Год назад
I’m planning on keeping the car as original as I can, but what are you thinking? Rear disc conversion?
@philtucker1224
@philtucker1224 Год назад
@@ModernClassics81 yes every time if you don’t mind a little restomod, (but to be honest it’s only because I like the look of them and not because I think it will improve braking). Are you keep fairly stock engine power?

when stripping the edges of panels for welding, just buy a stripper disc for a drill, that arch would take you a minute to do instead of all by hand
