We finally have a the rust repairs complete on Mat Armstrong's classic BMW E24 and we show the finished product of the 3 stage powdercoating! We also show a small journey of this car and what it looked like vs what it now looks like. What a journey it has been and an enjoyable one at that! Its crazy to see the car all in 1 colour and with it being nice and glossy it really does set it off.
This is not the end of our journey just yet, we still have a good amount of work to do on this car, but sit back and enjoy the video.
What a job boys looks so good!!! 🙌🙌
is this the surprise build? 👀
i bet @@Mursil05
Too easy, give me a challenge next time 😉
Could be the R8 build too sneaky little distraction 😮😮😮
Countach next???, did Mat go back and re-bid on that ... 🤫😆
Matt, you have saved a good BMW from the crusher. It had so many repairs that you would need a big bank account to move on with it. I'm sure you will do it justice with the final fit up.🎉🎉🎉
Hard work might beat talent but talent and hard work beats everything! Absolutely stunning work.
I can't believe that was even saveable. Just shows what can be saved. Great work!
Anything can be saved with enough time and money
if ur pockets are deep enough then everything is possible
What a Journey Ryan.... You completely knocked this right out the park, I hope a lot of would be welders and fabricators take some note's on the outstanding work you and YCR have done to Mat's Beemer... Have a Fantastic Christmas and all the best for you and yours in 2024.
I thought I was good then seen these guys........ Just another level altogether, always studying the vids for tips and tricks.
The end result of that body is clearly amazing. You've reinvigorated my desire to own an E24! I'm not convinced on the powder coating though. I know it's a very hardy coating, but on trailers and coated steel frames I've owned, I've seen rust spread under the coating once it gets a crack in it. I could be wrong and the coatings I've encountered may just be poorly prepped and low quality. Hopefully that undercoat you applied first solves that problem. But for me, it would be either a zinc rich or 2K primer and a tough underbody coating.
Iv seen similar power coating failures, seems to be a very wear resistant coating but as soon as it gets a chip water ingress can be a serious problem. Never seen a full car done before that’s quite an interesting concept certainly looks very nice atm be interesting to see how it lasts
I hate powder coating, its great for a while and then the rust happens under it and is cracks and falls off where the rust is. Thermal Metal spray is the best way, Retro power do it and it becomes a part of the metal due to the way its deposited so you don't get anything between the coating and the steel. Hopefully this will be durable and look as good as it does now in a few years time.
My thoughts precisely.
Hard work and dedication. Most of the people do not have an idea how much work you had to put in this project. Dirt, rust, noise, grinding, welding… great work and impressive result 🫡
Thanks for taking us on the Journey with you! Top job guys.
Mega result guys what can I say,absolute artisan skills and it’s a credit to you all. I’m sure Mat will be well pleased 👍
Young Workers, Beat Hard Talent. Epic work from such young people & the editing is brilliant in first few mins showing the repair work. 👌🏽
Great to hear there are lots more things for you to do on the car 👍🏼🤗
Stunning. Unbelievable result. Well done Ryan.
Beautiful video & progress! Thank you for all the hard work you're putting in. ❤
What a fantastic job. Amazing work.
Incredible amount of work. So cool this classic will live on now because of you guys
You can really be proud of what you acheived! Absolutely mint!
Great result! I can't wait to see the finished article. Still lots more to get through.
The transformation is truly phenomenal!
Dynamic...you never cease to amaze on every front. Thanks for spending your time for us to enjoy. Here is to next year and continued success and expansion.
All that work and you end up with that. Totally worth it and a demonstration of great skill. Superb
Love seeing this come together, going to be awesome seeing the final product.
It look amazing,like a brand new shell, can’t wait for what’s next . Ryan you are so talented, I bet your dad is so proud of you.
Great job Ryan can't wait to see the rest of the work.
Incredible work you've undertaken Ryan, simply unrecognisable from the car Mat handed over to you. Amazed at the workmanship and the attention to detail. Well done to you! I hope Mat is as blown away with the results as all your viewers are!
I’m really pleased you spoke at the end to discuss seam sealer etc as I was confused about the whole powder coating of the shell. Powder coating is all well and good but it can become quite brittle and when exposed (a chip or fracture for example) will blister and flake once it’s compromised. I liked that you will then seam seal it properly. Will you be applying a factory rubber compound seen on most modern shells to the underbody too beyond just the seams? You’ve done an amazing job on this and imagine if it sees little use the powder will look amazing and last. If it were to be back on the road properly, then I’d want to go that extra mile to add some modern stone guard rubber compound in as many places as possible. No hate here just wanting to know more. Looking forward to see more.
My thoughts exactly, powder coating is an unconventional way of treat the shell. Getting it phosphate dipped and painted would be more traditional. Powder coat is tricky to repair in the future especially on the panels. maybe it will be wrapped also.
It is just mind blowing what you have done to this car. Great job.
It's been a pleasure and an honour mate, to watch this series and watch your skills and confidence grow alongside the other cars you have taken on, hope you had a good one.
Loved the whole journey so far !
Ryan, hats off to you! You have done an astonishing job on this car, it’s hard to find the words to describe. You’ve saved this car from the grave, that’s what we love to see. Mat will be over the moon. Well done! Enjoy the break, we’re excited to see what’s next! What a journey so far. 🎉👊🏽🎄
By and far my favorite new channel!!! Your skill set is unmatched!
Love this channel pure workmanship
Loved this journey so far the standard of work has been outstanding looking forward to the story continuing in the New Year. Hope Matt Armstrong appreciates all your effort.
Merry Christmas YCR. Thank you for all your hard work.
Wow you guys are amazing, i love the patience and precision
this entire series introduced me to an amazing channel and im so impressed at the final product. YOU sir are a master
You have pulled it out of the hat. I have never seen such a transformation. Top job. You just keep getting better. Well done😊
Amazing job enjoyed following this series can’t wait till it’s finished
Merry Christmas! Thanks for your time. Videos are great. Looking forward to next year!
U deserve more than a million subs U will get there Ryan❤
Brilliant job you pulled off on this E24!
I have sat through every one of these since you picked it up. Oh what an outstanding effort. Brilliant fabrication and welding. Just magical. Great job YCR. Two thumbs up.
GUYS, you are true CHAMPIONS !!!! I have look at some of your videos and see rust every where . You are able to turn this old rusty car in a brand new 635 CSI . It is a miracle and it is enjoyable to see . You can be proud of your work . Thank you for the video .
Totally stunning job!! Loved watcing this. Thanks for the efforts and filming editing with the hours put in! I hope he takes this car to the next level and rebuilds it with modern parts and pushes it back into the future! Like full on cyberpunk style to make it a one off!!
Hurray for a job well done, Ryan! With dedication,a fair bit of extra ordinary expertise to boot! Congrats all.
Brilliant job guys, Mat will be so happy to get this almost brand new car back. You guys are artists!
Amazing work, I have never seen this process from the start ever in my life, You guys are pure professionals and magicians. Very impressed and amazed.
I am speechless when I see this 635 series today. It was actually a solid lump of rust. Now it has been completely renovated and powder coated, which means that it will not have any rust for the next hundred years, I believe. It comes with another coat of paint plus rust protection which makes it so well protected. I am 100% sure that this will be like a brand new 635csi. This has been an exciting journey to follow. I can't wait for it to be completely finished. I can only imagine.
Really enjoyed the series so far, you have done so excellent job 👏👏👏
Amazing work, this is turning into a piece of modern art.
You should be real proud of what you have achieved here,just pure class workmanship take a bow lads 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Almost makes me want to cry how beautiful it looks now in that gloss white. You guys should be very proud of your amazing work.
What a perfect job. and that bathtub white looks amazing.
It has turned out so great!!! 😁😁 kudos for the great work done so far.
Astonishingly astonishing! Superb journey so far. Merry Christmas to you all.
Biiiig round of applause to YCR and especially to you Ryan! What a job!!! 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're a credit not only to the trade but your family. I think most dad's would be proud of the graft you put in and I see nothing but good fortune for you and all the lads. Being in sheet metal myself for over 30 years I know how hard it is so keep it up and I hope you reap the rewards guys. All the very best for the new year.
An amazing transformation that I’m not sure would have been attempted by most people. Well done on saving the old fella from the scrap heap.
So enjoyed this build, thank you and have a lovely Christmas.
Nice recap a lot of work goes into each project ❤ it’s exciting to see how far it’s come
Gooooood job. Congratulations. You did it!
The E24 looks terrific!
Loved every minute, fantastic work. looking forward to 2024. Merry Christmas guys 👍
All power to you for getting this out today 👍
Work of art to see the stages
I have followed this restoration from day 1, and it has been a great 7/8 month journey. I fell in love with the music and the rebuilding process. Keep up the good work. Congratulations. much respect from Sunny South Africa.
Brilliant, modern art at its best, pure genius good luck and all the best for the future
What a job you have done Ryan you should be very proud of what you have accomplished over the last 6 months
Great to see how you injoy to have achieved this significant milestone. Go on but don't forget your constituation and your health. Best regards from Germany.
Months of hard work but Ryan you've showcased your talents so well on this one!
After all your hard work and long hours (and late nights) I do have concerns as to why a roll cage is needed for it - let’s hope it gets treated with the care it deserves and not smashed up on some track day - well done Ryan mate a shining example of what you have achieved.
Brilliant as always
Absolutely amazing transformation massive congratulations and respect on the incredible work so far 🤘😎🤘🇬🇧
Happy Christmas to you all at Yorkshire bringing old cars back to life is excellent to watch cheers 👍👍👍
What a superb job done.
Merry Christmas to you all at Yorkshire car restoration. Thank you for all the content. I always look forward to seeing your videos. All the best for 2024.🎉
Fantastic job, well done mate. Keep at it and all the best for 2024!
Must be so hard to let it go after all the time love and effort you have put into this car. Phenomenal. You are a star.
Amazing 😍 love your work and dedication. To me that's looks like brand new
Such an incredible skill this, taking something as rotten as a pear fit for the scrap heap and totally transforming it like it’s just come off of the assembly line. Your not a fabricator, you’re a magician! 👏🏻🔥
Absolutely amazing work 👍👍
Honestly unbelievable. I've watched every episode, and I can't believe you've taken that pile of **** and turned it into this beautiful thing. Incredible. Well done man.
This has been amazing to watch and it will be an epic build over on Mat's channel.
Amazing work guys going to be awesome seeing it all complete! Absolute pleasure to help on this, merry Christmas! 🍺🎄
Absolutely amazing such a journey 🫶🏻
Legend for getting this out today!
mad respect. 10/10 job. Well done repairing something that I honestly thought was way too far gone.
Unbelievable work lads 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’ve watched them all and I still can’t believe it.
Looks insanely well done.
Respect! What a great job. Craftsmanship!
Absolutely brilliant guys congratulations on an amazing job..
You have basically built a new car. Incredible!
Immense work guys, Absolutely amazing transformation. Dont think any amount of videos will fully detail the work gone into that chassis. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves.
What an absolutely brilliant job, something you can be truly proud of and the best advert you could ever have to keep you guys busy for ever. I'm not sure I like the thought of what it's going to be used for needing a roll cage, it would be sacrilege to mistreat it after all your hard work but that's down to Matt. Keep the videos coming thick and fast guys , I love them ...well done and best wishes.
You are simply a genius to be able to transfer a car from the wreck it was to how it looks now. Happy New Year to you and all your colleagues matey.
JPS all the way calling it now, well done to you
Ryan well done, your workmanship is brilliant. have watched every episode. Gday from Australia
