These Japanese rustmobiles do keep you busy! That small magnetic worklight is cool, any recommendations of a brand chaps?
A good fit but a question regarding the tack welds. Any reason why they weren't seam welded?
Great job , enjoyed each single minute watching you working on the floor 👍. What the next video will be lol. keep it up
Looking good, thoroughly enjoy the 260Z build. Thanks
So talented 👏
Отличная работа!) Но в начале забыл кинуть тряпку в камеру 😅
Great job as always guys, really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up 👍
Keep the templete for others

Inspiring as always
For curiosity – what was that floor panel intended for? Nicely fitted after a little modification!
Like a job in the town. Superb
What an amazing job!!! Amazing skills aswell, super work 👏 🙌
Hi guys. Just a question, how many welding points in that car? Maybe need to ask Rocco, always present but never working.
Phew that's dedication 👏👏
Gentlemen; please provide links to your merchandise (t shirts, hoodies, cargo pants, Peter and Gordon eye glasses, etc. 😉 )
I am curious to know the difference in steel gauges between the Datsun, Miata, Mini and the various repair panels. What is the variation if any and any considerations needed for sheet metal thickness?
Nice job done on that new floor😎👍
Keep going. This is the only car I watch!!
Another great video and great work 👍
Great job 👍
What kinde of paint are you useing?
And what kinde of glue do you use on top of the weldings?
The job is awesome but .. what's the name of the songs…?
Once again you guys amaze me at what you can achieve on such a rust bucket! 😮
I'm curious if you use the control points specified by Nissan/Datsun to ensure the car matches the original build specs.
Crack on!!!
Great work as always keep it up guys 👍👍
wow ! masive job
Lot of hard work,cracking on 👍👍
Enjoyed your approach with the templates of cardboard and adding what ya need on to the replacement panel!! Nice work!!!
Looks awesome. Excited to see it finished, now I have to go watch all the other 17 episodes!
I've been restoring a 1984 300zx for 2 years now, doing lots of the same work as you. Only just started my channel now tho so I missed out on all the good parts!
Amazing job! Can you guy tell us the settings of the welder ? Thanks 😊
You lads are an inspiration,you work so hard and explain a lot of stuff you do(in most of your videos),I like to think I’m a better fabricater and welder having watched your videos…..and I’ve laughed at a load of your stuff to…….keep um coming👍😉
Like the vocal trance
What kind of sheet metal are you using and how thick? I want to restore my rust damaged 190e. Thank you 🙂
Great job. And my goodness you’re handsome
And this is why a restored car cost so much. I sold my 1976 Datson 260 2+2 for $6K back in early 1980's. What a mistake
loving these videos ! started by watching the mx5 series , keep em coming – What size welding wire do you guys use 0.6mm or 0.8mm ?
I hope the wire brush you use on the angle grinder is a major sponsor… it seems indestructible… wish I could find one as good ✅
approx how many hours putting that piece of floor in,cos that was a lot of work ,
Like, this piece of floor is excellent, but before welding it was necessary to make stiffeners on it.
Super sound
Wow, you are building a whole new body, huge task, I take my hat off to you, incredible
Big pat in the back for that vid. Obviously edited but still shows the patience required and the skill to bring that pile o rust back from the dead. Good work buddy, look forward to the next vid.where anything could happen. Yeeha🤣
It's gonna be better than it came out of the factory 😍😍
I am pleased to see that you use C.A.D.
"Welcome back Josh Castro eventually"
Great work
When you’ve extended a panel like a floor pan, can you still panel beat & shape it, as if it was a single sheet?
Or is it too brittle a join?
You can tell I don’t even know the basics like what the welding wire is that’s being wound out of the tip of the welding gun!
Is the technique called MIG welding? A type of arc welding?
Does it require an extra high power mains supply, like you’d have for a hob / cooker in a domestic kitchen? Or even more power than that?
Either
Your fab work is pretty tasty fella, welding needs a bit more practice but thin material is a bitch 😁🍻 keep battling on with that shitson though.
👍👍
