Time for a full respray hehe....you seem to find this rust repair caper very easy now Jeff, good work!
Jeff, great video as always.
Thank you for taking the time to put these out and share your projects with us.
Next week I'm attending the Fire Department Instructors Conference in Indianapolis.
It's the biggest firefighter conference in the world, and it takes place in a very important city in automotive history.
You should convince your department to buy you a ticket next year.
I'd be happy to put you up for a few days.
Thanks mate. As I believe we are the 4th largest Fire Department in the world (6000+ firies and 300+ stations) we would possibly send someone, it would not be me. I am happy keeping my head down at work, and put more time into my days off ;)
Good work on the rust repairs Jeff. Just a note, try to cover or protect your painted surfaces and glass from grinding sparks and weld spatter. The stuff eats in and imbeds itself into paint and glass. I ended up getting a cheap fire blanket and use that as my protector.
That is why part way through I chucked up the welding blanket, but the whole car is being resprayed so at least the paint I was not too worried about.
Nice work Jeff mate just a tip for you with your primer on the door need to put some kind of paint on it as if not the mostager will get in to the primer and start to slowly rust again
Keep up the good work Jeff and Mrs Jeff. Your updates are inspiring me to keep going with my 1983 mk1 VW golf gti project. It’s nice to have something to look forward to on a Tuesday
Thanks mate. Glad you are enjoying it.
Hey Jeff , congratulations for your videos, I've seen most of them and I enjoy them very much. Just one thing, for what I know dust from body filer is prety harmful, and everytime I see you sanding whithout dust mask I suffer a lot. Please wear a dust mask when doing that kind of jobs ( you just have one set of lungs for life) . Cheers from Spain and keep doing the things you love, congratulations again.
Awesome stuff, if you ever want to come to Texas let me know. Always have room for helpers on my 280z. Lol
Making progress Jeff! Slowly but surely! Tiger.
So much work... lucky you love it!!
Good job Jeff!!
Great work as usual, but bloody hell are you trying to lose a finger/ hand with that grinder 😳
My mother said the same thing ;)
good job
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and it has inspired me to do what I enjoy doing. I have never done panelbeating work and I would like to start doing it on my Beetle. For starters, what welding machine do you use and what is the thickness of the sheet metal? Thanks.
Yes!!! Good audio!! 😁
Great little video for my lunch break, thanks again Jeff👍
Thanks mate, I have been waiting for some more lunch time entertainment from you ;)
Door bottoms rust out because nobody keeps the door drains clear. But that is rusted in an odd place no doubt.....great vids.
Here's kind of a random question - what is the spec on the wheels you use in your angle grinder when you are working on sheet metal like this? For grinding? For cutting? When I go to the hardware store, there are dozens of choices and I'm never quite sure what to get.
Keep up the good work - lots of inspiration here for me as I plan my own Beetle resto!
I usually use 40 grit flap discs. I have found they work much better for grinding down welds than the hard discs, and they don't heat the panel up as much.
Great video as usual Jeff! You got photo bombed by a cat around the 5min mark. So if a cats been peeing on your stuff, I'd put that one at the top of the suspect list.
Good stuff Jeff. You will have rust soon if you don’t top coat it mate. Primer is hygroscopic which means it will rust underneath the primer :(
It will be painted very soon ;)
Nice job on the rust mate. Btw have you flogged your Audi?
Nope, that just gets shunted outside a bit more these days.
i enjoy the videos could it be posible to have Mrs Jeff do her part in only one take?
If we set up a teleprompter, but where are the bloopers in that ;)
Mate, you make me look like Mr Safety the way you cut your patch pieces with that angle grinder. My hands are scarred all over with angle grinder cuts lol. I can't see scars on your hands???
They are there trust me ;)
You shoud check out ryan little for some background music with a bit more "pop" to it. I really like his music and I think it could fit your timelapse parts pretty well :)
Edit: they are copyright free so you can use them for your videos without any problems as long as you link his channel in your description
Cool I will check it out. Thanks.
Noice. Do you use gasless or gas MIG? Gas kills it, worth the cost. Maybe TIG if you're gonna be doing more of this stuff (I think so) You can get some cheaper units on ebay to try out. But yeh, nice birthday for the ol' girl
I use gas. I struggled along with gasless for years and as soon as I tried gas, I have never looked back. Sooo much better and cleaner. I actually have a brand new TIG waiting for me to try, but I still have to get a chance to try it. I have never used a TIG so I am looking forward to learning a new skill.
Oh, there is a cat in the vid!
What product do u use for rust treating??
I use a couple of different ones (I am not an expert). I will often use a basic rust converter from Supercheap and then spray it with a zinc based anti rust spray before painting.
Jeff try the aerosol version from supercheap rust converter/sealer/primer easy as
what gauge is the sheet metal you go to for patches?
I use 0.8mm steel sheet for all of my repairs which seems to be pretty close. Not sure what that is as a gauge, but I am sure you can convert it.
That's 20 gauge. cool
where can i buy a potato welder?
I think they may have got it as a give away at a lingerie sale.
how do you Know that?
do you go to those things?
Shhhhh
when doo we see miss jeff driving it again???
There will be more when I get it all sorted.
What welder do you use Jeff?
I just got a new Bossweld Inverter MIG. I am finding the new inverter style MIG so much easier to use than the old transformer MIG I had.
I should have known that because quite a few episodes ago you did that & I should of just glanced back through. Could you please tell me the particular model you have. I still have the old CIG mig I bought back in the '90's & it's hard to get new tips etc etc. Yours is gasless too yes? I still pay my bottle rent & when you don't use it as much anymore it becomes expensive. I'm just doing the floors on my 1962 Vanguard Six & I'm thinking it time for a change. Cheers for your great content Jeff, not only is it great to watch but it also inspires people to do the work themselves. Any idea when you maybe putting Polo-neck shirts on the merch site? I hate T-shirts but I'd definitely buy a few polo's.
The company I use don't offer Polo's as an option sorry.
As for the MIG I would suggest the M150 which is gas/gasless. As for the gas, you don't need to pay bottle rental anymore. Finally the companies have realised and (if you are in Aus') you can pay a 1 off purchase fee and then just bring the bottle back to Bunnings and swap it for a full one quite cheaply. Gasless works, but once you go Gas you can never go back ;)
