    I am in my late 20s with a rusty J-Body car as my daily driver. I have only tried welding a couple times the past year and was told that i did a pretty smooth job. Your videos on this severely rusted car are giving me the encouragement to try some big cut out rust replacements.

    That's gotta be the rustiest Saturn I've ever seen. Lucky that someone who can weld got a hold of it.

    You sir, have earned a subscriber. You gave me the incentive to go ahead and tackle the rust spots on my 99' Sw1!

    @0.49 how did you weld the inside of the rocker panel, like the support to the floor? The rocker panel is part of the Structure in a unibody car, if not repaired correctly you will have a unsafe car in case of a collision.

  • @MrIforgotalready
    @MrIforgotalready 6 лет назад +3

    Why people that show this kind of repairs NEVER consider that rust comes from the inside out and the panel needs to be treated in the back so the repair will l last? To make it look good on the painted outer surface is not enough. In fact, it is a waste of time because time and again I have seen the rust come back in the same area. Drill a hole through which you can either spray undercoating or rust converter or oil after you weld so moisture will not cause damage again. Then you can cover the hole with a rubber plug (measure the rubber plug before you dig the hole to ensure a good seal).

    Lesson people, oil your cars if you buy them new , or if 2nd hand oil them to slow the rust down.
    Drip oil like Krown not waxy tar based stuff....that just traps moisture.

      I have heard that some farmers oil their farm equipment to prevent rust.

    • @lightningsmokerXx

      Pup Dog That is true. I have a farmer friend who does.

      Where should you apply it? I have a pontiac and I'm worried about the rocker panel moldings trapping in rot, but I also am concerned about the underbody.

  • @Ignore_This_Account.
    @Ignore_This_Account. Год назад +2

    At that point why not just scrap it, that frame is so far gone that even welding wouldn't be practical because you would have to basically weld yourself a new frame, and that car is probably pretty old anyways.

    • @kottyking
      @kottyking 5 лет назад +1

      The snow or wet climate doesnt make it rust. Its the fucking salt they drop all over the roads. It's terrible here in Wisconsin. Shit eats your car alive.

    @joequillun7790 6 лет назад +4

    This video didn't show any of the critical "how tos", except sawz-all and paint. Would've been nice to show how and where you marked out the lines, cut them to fit, what you used for welding, and how and where you welded, ect. ect. Didn't learn anything about repairing. Seems like a "See what "I" did?".

    • @FuelAirSparkTime
      @FuelAirSparkTime 4 года назад

      RUclips is full of useless videos like these. People in need of help to fix something need more than a montage of instant results with no in between.
      It went from a still badly rusted out sill to one with the new one grafted in. Quite useless

    • @thec4ke
      @thec4ke 11 лет назад +1

      He's rebuilt the engine and fixed the design flaw that causes oil burning in the process. This Saturn should never burn oil as long as it's maintained. If you can get over the oil burning thing or fix it they're extremely reliable, easy to work on, and get excellent mileage.

      Alan Ackaway I'm doing it for self education. I know the car is not worth anything but this is the car that I have self-learned auto repair on. One day I would like to build a classic but I figure I'll get my experience on something... less critical.
