In this video we set about trying to get the near side rear quarter panel on but we are stumped by the amount of work it takes to complete the inner wheel tub. The amount of work this took to repair was way more than anticipated so ended up taking a lot longer
The rust just keep going and going.
This FORD ESCORT RS2000 is a FULL RESTORATION of the body shell and was delivered to us a FULLY STRIPPED shell, we are episode by episode CLASSIC CAR RESTORATION of this MK1 ESCORT.

There's nothing like sitting back after work having a beer and watching a very satisfying episode of Yorkshire restorations.

Mk1 Escorts were from the early 1970s, not 1980s weren’t they? I remember lusting after them as a kid growing up in the 1970s!

@allanrichards3752 Месяц назад

I've seen those laser cleaners come with a welding head. They are absolute mustard at welding thin metal with very minimal distortion and actually quite quick at welding. Much quicker than picking at it with a MIG. The only thing is that the metal must be perfectly clean and with virtually no gap to fill. If you have some spare time with it you could offer a cataract removal service!!!

@jimmcfee3488 Месяц назад

Mates rallied these locally in the late 1980's/1990's. i was mainly mechanical(I was a RX3/$ person, not clunky old piston engined cars back then) but my shed had a permanent floor framing jig and permanent pulling points laid out for repairs, amazing how quick you can replace a side, front or back when you are cutting up complete cars for parts. So much wasted. Nothing much rusts badly down here(Tasmania) but escorts were prone to it regardless.

The owner just made history. A full video of the extent of the massive rebuild. Even the original is improved. Whatever it is costing, the result is easy sell and or satisfied result. Fantastic job on what most would consider a basket case. I know the effort involved as i had to rebuild two inner arches in sections, and floors and inner sills on my Barchetta. Panels no longer available is the worst reply to any enquiry. So much admiration Steve!

Hello 👋 Steve good buddy 👍 you have pretty much built that car it's going to be like a new car again, do they use a lot of salt on the road over there in wintertime to cause so much rust? They use salt here and also put on calcium and it's severe on vehicles..t take oil and I get under my trucks before winter and I put it in a pump up sprayer and I spray it in every orfice in the chassis on my trucks because usually on those box frames they use on trucks they rust from the inside out .very good video buddy tell captain yorkshire I said hello

@peterbockholm3176 Месяц назад

Question: a couple of videos ago you used a special kind of wire-wheel-thingamajig, 10-12 cm wide. It gave a great result with what to me looked like little effort. I was expecting you to use it again on poor pitiful Patches but you used 320 instead, why? Was it in preparation for all signatures at the car show or is the metal too thin? Is thin metal the reason you will only sandblast the inner and undersides? It seemed like a great tool for saving time and effort and prevent from inhaling a lot of dust if it can be connected to a shop-vac with good filtration. I've used that system for all my tools since 2003, I finally realized the importance of dust management when I got kids. For me, it turns out that it was too late, but Ryan is younger than I was back then so for health's sake, he shouldn't cover himself in dust and whatnot over and over again. There's a limit to how much only a face mask can protect so use both masks and control dust.

@MrGroupA Месяц назад

When you repair and cut out sections, isn't the repair suppose not be visible? I mean seamless so that you really can't tell a repairs been made in the first place?

@ToreDL87 Месяц назад

He's got to save time somewhere or he'll be spending eon's on the simplest of strips of metal. On structural it just doesn't matter, add to that all the rust proofing & gravel/chip protection, this repair will be as good as invisible even if you know what you're looking for. Quick Edit: Another thing too, 40-50 years down the line when this car is being restored again, it's useful for the next guy stripping this down to bare metal, to see where work has been done previously, just like it is for Steve here 👌

It's just "zzzzt", it's not bead welding it's continuous tack welds. If you literally don't know how it's supposed to sound I recommend going to welding classes first and foremost, and get an idea how to adjust the welder (though now you can get welders from Kemppi and Esab where you just input steel thickness and off you go).

How come they tack weld plate on, then cut through some of the tacks? is it to relieve stress on the plate?

@guzziwheeler Месяц назад

They tack on the new part, which first overlaps the old metal. Then they cut through both parts to match the old part perfectly to the new part by removing excess material from the old part. Got it?
