I really enjoy the weld repairs! Please don’t skip them! This is my favourite car channel on You Tube because of the variation in projects and skills that you demonstrate! Thank you!!
As a Saab 900OG fan I really like these rust repair videos! Sad that these days, especially in Europe, most of them are rusted, but man, does it feel good seeing one being appreciated and fixed!
Hello ! I've just started my very first rust repairs on my Volvo 340 project car. I must say it is really cool to watch your content because it focuses on doing it "good enough" without spending astronomous time and money on equipment. I hope you will show us more of the rust repairs soon :) Cheers !
I enjoyed the video, and it just shows that rust like this, which can seem overwhelming, is not so bad if you break it down into manageable parts. Nice job.
The rust repair is satisfying on cars I know well, like this Saab, but it's also interesting to see your approach on cars less known. Plus this Saab is a rare special edition, so extra satisfying.
Love watching rust repairs but it makes me feel guilty. I’ve got a wheelarch to repair on my Lancer but it’s cold out on my drive. Might have to wait a bit longer 😂
Nice work. Can’t recall any other vehicles off hand with brake lines passing within the body shell. Admittedly my familiarity with European manufacturers is limited. 👍🍀🍻
Who's the nice gentleman popping up at the 9 minute mark? I enjoy watching you do these long non flashy fixes, where you just get down to work and I can relax watching you do it.
Thank you! I've got one of these (not a Commander, just a lowly 900i 4 door saloon/sedan) on my driveway which is 'crispy' in the same places. I'm a complete novice and have been trying to work out how to tackle the rear wheelarch area. You've given me a lot of guidance. Now, just to sort out the weather...
Keep going with the rust repairs.. It always takes time to get your hand back in with welding.. Always good to strip clean and reassemble the torch-tip and definitely make sure the feeding system wheel and tensioner inside the welder body is clean too.. Make sure you gently clean the inside of the earth clamp and get the earth as close as possible to the job.. The repair isn't the Mona Lisa but it looks really good and strong! Keep going looks much better already.
Seaside Garage, have you watched Croker Vs. Rover? hilarious guy - I feel like it's kind of a channel you could emulate. People want "real" backyard mechanics, doing way too much work on old cars that nobody else would do that much work on. That's authentic youtube modern classic driver content.
I´ve owned several 900 (5 in total) but this example is an outstanding rust-bucket! Reminds me of my 900i from 1980. The rust protection on the later models is far better.
Nice to see you are working on the Saab 900. But please put some primer on the backside of any repair panel before welding it on. Now there is nothing between those two panels in the floor. Just a tip 👍
Colder temperatures can affect welding for sure, some say that you should pre-heat metalwork before welding to make for a better weld in the cold as apparently it can produce weaker welds as the metal cools too quickly and reduces penetration into the metalwork... :)
HI good video I think that what you do is amazing you bring new life to cars that most people would scrap not knowing that it just needs sum TLC. 👍👍👌👌p.s welding can be A pain. slow and strong fast and weak or holes. more on the rust repair 👍👍
I wuld recomend to weld on stronger aperig for beter penitration. I liie to mack a test and rght all the setings on a paper and i put aditional marks on the welder so i can set i fast
The problem comes from the outside. The seams are probably not sealed well due bad, cracked, dried out body kit. You welded a piece of metal into the wheel arch. - Was it not to be better to open up the whole part by cutting along the spot welded edge? That way making sure you could reach almost all of the rust area with rust treathener (?). If done that together with you idea to reach the area from the outside then all will be done thoroughly. Now finish it of with a high quality body sealant.
You obviously need a starting point but I think I would have had the wheel off and taken the sealant off in the bad areas and power brushing the rusty areas in the wheel arch before deciding on the plan.
Hej! Mycket bra video 🙂 vid ca 14:00 kör du nån svetsprimer från biltema? Vilken är det? Hade svårt att se i videon. Tänkte köpa samma om du tycker den är okej? Och vad är det för färg du penslar på sen på svetsen efteråt?
Always good to see repairs getting done. You can learn something new every time.

Very Good. Enjoyed the rust repair which will help when I get stuck into restoring my 1993 900 Turbo, which is similarly rusty. More please. Cheers!
Any repair on that terrific SAAB is very much welcome, I've owned quite a few and still miss these.

Well, a wise man once said that rust never sleeps, so we're all the way here for the rust videos. 😁🖖
Always a delight pulling in the Commander! Woohoo!
I enjoy the rust repair videos.

Exactly!
I love the rust repair videos I'd like to see more!

This video seemed perfect really showing a good balance of footage of the welding plus it's nice to see a great car being saved from the crusher 😊
Enjoyed this very much! The SAAB🔥🔥 I will be fixing rust holes in the floor pan of my 900Turbo 83’ soon and this is wery helpful!
Personally I hate to do rust repairs, but to watch you do them is great, so - more please :)
Great car, well worth saving Seppo.
You are becoming quite the artist! Thanks for keeping an old SAAB on the road.

not that uncommon.... but yea.. not totally normal either!
3:54 Nah, I think it was like "Okay we've seen enough rust, let's _focus_ on something else, shall we?" 🤣
great vid, loved watching it (the welding light is too bright for my eyes but otherwise very interesting)
Who's the nice gentleman popping up at the 9 minute mark?

The Amazing Arthur Brown...(the god of hell fire and he brings you.....Fayahhh!)
Arthur brown! The song always plays in my head when something catches fire (du du duuuu du du)

I think Skil should support your channel and gift you some head torches 👍.
Loving the Saab content.

I love watching a bit of repair work. Especially on a SAAB.
Working on the Saab is always good to watch!
Highlight of my day! Glad to see you're working in this beauty again. The longer the video's, the better!
These kind of videos get a thumbs up from me.
Please make longer videos so we can see more rust repair
Great work. I love watching rust repair. Thank you for sharing.

Not just good, but good enough. Gets the job done👍
Great video 👍
Great to watch and learn as usual but one thing you must do. Clean your visor! 😂
Nice to see you are working on the Saab 900.
But please put some primer on the backside of any repair panel before welding it on. Now there is nothing between those two panels in the floor.
Just a tip 👍
it will be sealed of.. so should not rust.. :)
It’s all good 👍 keep going 😊
Keep going with videoing the rust repairs. Its great content.
Rust repair is sort of dentistry for cars
Rust repair videos are good for me .

Pre heating metal before welding. Never thought about that but clearly logical. ...the molecules move better when warm.

My 900 t16 has very similar rust issues. This just reminds me to just get started with it already and stop fearing the fix more than the issue
Always like to see rust repairs👍

I enjoyed this rust repair video - thanks 🙏
Enjoyed that - more please!
Whàt a fantastic looking car!
Cool car. I had a 900 way back. Such cool cars.
Brilliant video as always.
I know a welder, who does mention how fast the welds cool.
More rust repairs please ;-)
Nice
how old is the welding wire? is it possible it has started to corode a bit?
used to have a 99 turbo
Hej! Mycket bra video 🙂 vid ca 14:00 kör du nån svetsprimer från biltema? Vilken är det? Hade svårt att se i videon. Tänkte köpa samma om du tycker den är okej?
Och vad är det för färg du penslar på sen på svetsen efteråt?
syntes den er fin! det er fra biltema ja.
Det er ikke farve men seam sealer :)
Might I ask what brand/model of rust converter you use and recommend? Anyone else have good experiences over long time with something?
Just got it! So dont know what I think of it yet... hence why I did not show it.. :)
@@SeasideGarage Oh, ok. Thanks anyway, hope someone else sees it and can answer.
Rusty wire?
nope
