- Let me start by saying this is a temporary, but cost effective way to clean up a troublesome rust hole on your car, it's always best to replace panels or weld when possible. but if you want to just clean it up for a while and cost is a factor. This video is for you! we eliminate a rust hole on our old 1973 Pontiac Ambulance. And yes, there is a bit more work to be done elsewhere on the car, but we just focus on the worst spot for now ;)
Wow I'm so glad I found this Video. I need to repair a spot exactly like this on my Van. The New York roads really got to my vehicle this winter.
That guitar should have been louder, I still could hear some of what you were saying.
Yeah! Beautiful music... BTW, how did you remove the Rust...?
A good backyard repair. A couple of things you can do to make it a little nicer are : Sand your primer coat with some 400 wet and dry sandpaper before you spray your finishing coats. Spray at least 4 coats of your final colour and let it dry for about a week. Then sand down the paint with some 2000 wet and dry sandpaper. Then buff it out with some polishing compound. You can do the colour sanding and buffing on the original paint as well and it will bring it right back to a nice shine.
It was a quick fix, I will most likely weld some steel in the summer as a more permanent fix. Thanks so much for the suggestions too :)
August 2020. It s pretty amazing ho much healthier you look now. Even your voice sounds better ( less puffy and huffy). I know you made some drastic changes to your diet and lifestyle. It pays off! Keep it up!
Phosphoric acid converter will neutralise the rust, once you have ground the worst of it off.
There is coming a time when people will not know how great pontiac, oldsmobile buick and caddilac were during the golden age of the now pathetic GM I will always keep my 1980 oldsmobile as proof of a time of strength quality and craftsmanship!
Well done, but it may be a good idea to spray a zinc enriched primer on the bare metal before the Bondo. The repair would last much longer.
Ali Erikenoglu good observation Ali Ali oooo😀👏😀👏👏😀👏😀👏😀👏😀
I was always told to put bondo on bare metal?
@@racingfreak1337 it's just an idea I had to prevent further rust from occurring. I'm just a "do it your-selfer" not an auto body guy :)
Im pretty sure I read that bondo will not adhere to any primer except epoxy.
@@Vball2718 Best to adhere to 36 grit sanded metal. Either mechanical adhesion or chemical.
A repair like that wouldn't last a year in the U.K. It would be better putting rust treatment on first, it holds it back much longer. Great video to help people with home repairs all the same.
It's my understanding that white is the absolute hardest color to match. Had a body shop guy tell me this and it seems to make sense intuitively, That said, nice job. Looking to tackling some bodywork myself if spring ever decides to actually show up in Colorado this year.
Why would he tell u bad advice?
Dude! I’m in Beaumont! I thought I recognized that car lol! Very nice project, well done on the inexpensive side of things.
You have to hit it with a rust eater product, as soon as you have bare metal it will begin to re- rust.
By the time you mix up your bondo the steel will already be contaminated.
I'd rather hear what you are saying than hear loud music. Its fun while you are driving through countryside, but not when you are trying to tell us what you are doing.
Thank you for this I have a old Ford truck I want to fix so thanks
The big bubble at 6:45 is because you miced the bondo like cake batter, which in turn adds air to it, always fold when you mix bondo, less air, less problems
Good job ! Thank you for sharing!! Be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!!! Eddy
You need to use a rust converter so that the rust does not come back!.
Thanks for the instruction. 🇨🇦
Well done excellent 👍
good vid. thanks for the tips, im doing this tommarow
nice work. Thanks for the video
Hows this holding up? You really should have put a rust inhibitor por 15 or something that rust is going to continue under that patch job.
Great job, Alex
Did the idea for the Ghostbusters mobile hit you before, during or after the purchase of the ambulance? LoL! Is this the first footage of it decked out in its new signage? Or did I miss a video somewhere? I'm fairly new to your channel and am watching quite a few in the evenings after my daughter goes to bed. But I haven't seen any others about the ambulance. I love that thing!!
Shoulda used a wire wheel or sand blast to get into pots of rust and not take out too much metal like grinder does. Also resin filler would have been a better choice for a large hole like this it’s much stronger. That or fibreglass it then bondo on top
well done thank you for the knowledge
Thanks for making this!
Thanks It worked a little for my 2002 Honda Civic
The cool, old ambulance is a hearse lol
Good job.
Nice job!
Well done! Quick side question - what hair product do you use? Looks slick! 😁
Agree, a good temporary fix. Would last longer in a dry salt free climate.
+G Philip C thanks for watching :)
so I have a low book value camry with an engine likely to last a couple hundred thousand miles more, but it is set up to start rusting eventually because clear coat is gone from much of car and paint is chipped away to metal in spots...I'm really really bad with sanding and paint and I don't really care about looks, I just want to keep this thing for rusting for a decade as cheaply as possible...maybe something clear that will stick to any metal, paint, and bits of clearcoat and hold on for a few years? any cheap backyard fix suggestions?
Hay mate there is one thing you didn't do after you cleaned the rust of is you didn't give the rust any kind of rust converter or ever a rust killer before you did your boby filler mate so the rust will come back quicker
You’re right in my video I forgot that step! I guess I can’t be the cameraman and body man at the same time :)
lol well mate i'm having to do the lot myself at the moment been doing my channel for three almost four months now and don't have anyone else to hold my cemara for me but it still was a good basic job
Wayne's Garage I have done jobs like this. With rust killer chemecles or with out them, the rust will come back just as fast in Canada. You are best off just to cut the chunk out with the grinder, prime hte area then cut a part of aluminum, tape it in place with metal tape or silicone, body fill and paint.
rust converter is a waste of time and money. it does nothing
@@WaynesGarage go get a GoPro
Awesome. Thanks mate 👊🏼
Great informative video, thanks. Color of my Mitsubishi Diamante LS is black, and it has a rusted spot on top of the roof, a round 2 inches in diameter. Any suggestions and advice how to repair that?
Did a good job mate. Well done
Great job! Not so intimated anymore thanks did you have to sand the glaze? Thanks
everyone do yourself a favor & watch vids on how to prevent rust, theres very easy ways to do it....some ppl use transmission fluid in body panels before each winter for example
I am nomadic and don't own any power tools. Are these things rentable?
Would have enamel spray both sides jb weld first then bndo don't swell as much. Big hole I jb and rivet alum.patch . duck makes a alum. Self stick tape and red putty for a 5min repair which lasted 1 year .till warm weather let me fix it right.😎
Thank you, I can’t afford a body shop, may give this a try. However, my 18 yr. old Honda CRV has a lot more rust than your car as they use tons of salt on our winter roads in Ontario. Also my Honda is a specialty colour of blue, that I will need to try to buy from the dealership, which will be pricey. Maybe can find a place to rent the tools?
home depot rents tools.
I live in on too
Awesome vid man i got the same issue i will be fixing it this weekend using your method im curious on how long it will last for is yours still holding up fine ?
I’ve been driving all winter and still ok. I would rust treat or paint it before you do the body work :) good luck!
Should just manually use your hand. Don't have to sand 3 times with the machine sander.
Thks
Widely used from the 1984 flim Ghostbusters
How does it look like after a year ??
nice
Hmm... this great guy should have known better because: Bondo over rust is like putting a plaster over cancer. If not cutting away the rusted material he should have used rust eliminating stuff and primer before Bondo at least.
chru cas well he knows that, the point was its a quick cheap fix that looks decent he probably doesn't want to throw money at an old car
Dear@@bendude6748
Maybe you are right. But there are always different ways to get things done. A right and a wrong one, sometimes even a way in the middle of that (in this case rust converter and primer would have been the middle way). In my opinion this special ambulance car will be a keeper because it's relatively unique and a fantastic advertising for his business. It is very recognizable and has a big trunk for transporting things.
Also: In areas with snow and salt no "repair" like this will last more than several weeks until rust gets through again. He didn't even use a rust converter! Yes, of course, he is an absolutely great guy with a lot of decency and skills. And he can be proud of for what he is able to do (at potters house for instance)! But this bad kind of "repair" should definitely not be shown in public, especially not by him. Or do you want to buy something treated like this? I don't think so.
Best regards.
Less paint on first coat
It's the kind of thing that dishonest people do to cars right before they sell them. (Not saying you are dishonest!)
Thanks
Carries rust guarantee ..guaranteed to come back ..soon..~~~
You forgot to treat the rust before
hmmm, is this bog still in the Wagon? I hope not as it will be even worse than before.
Perfect body work...
It’s stood up ok so far but I will have to weld it at some point.
Omg there are more shades of white than any other color.
What grinding disc did you use
The sound cut out bud
Guy states this is a quick fix and understands it won't last forever. The funniest part is down here in the comment section where the professionals state, that this is a incorrect way to repair your vehicle and proceed to tell us the right way to do it. MY QUESTION is .. why the "fuck" are the professional body men watching a backyard diy repair job? I know why I came here. You know why you came here. Why the fuck did they come here? Oh right. . Because they watched 5 other videos before this and read the comments and want to sound just as smart..
Thanks for understanding. I know the right way to fix it... I just wanted the fast and cheap way to do it :) I may weld a patch in this summer, just didn’t want to look at a rust hole until then! :)
You’re so good looking 🤓
Rustbuster
give it 3 months and the rust will be back
Philip Thomas this is a temporary fix. Welding is the best way to go.
If you don't weld (MIG or flux core), your repair will be very soon history.
Jean Pottam I'd love to see you do a decent repair on a sheet metal door using flux core lol!
@@jeanpottam6080 what do you suggest in place of flux core?
Good job!
Thanks Austin, not a perfect fix but cheap and looks better :)

👍👍
Thanks for adding the wonderful music background said no one ever, dislike
Please take out that background music.
too bad you didnt use POR-15 to stop the rust...now your bondo will let it still rust. bondo will crack & fall off in a few years. POR-15 makes a sandable paintable putty filler (instead of bondo) also that prevents rust too
Check out POR15
IT WILL COME BACK FIRST TIME IT RAINS......BAD IDEA..
let's get to it Less blah blah blah😀
Ha! Thanks John, sometimes I get chatty :)
Obviously, you did fix a metal first time. 😄😅😂
Just beginner work.
You can try for junk car
That’s all it was meant to be, a cheap temporary fix
Chicken wire and concrete for a quick sale
Done that
Don’t need the music.
You didn't get rid of all the rust or treat it with Zinc oxide or rust converter, that's first basic step before you do any filling or sanding or undercoating or spraying and the undercoat/primer should be zinc primer so that it inhibits rust also, that will rust through and the whole corner will probably fall off within a year I'd guess.. I mean if you're not bothered that's one thing, but jees if anyone copies this video it's the worst "tutorial" I've ever seen..
Sorry just calling it as I see it.
Bad energy comes back to the source. Always! don’t you forget sir.
THATS THE GHOAST BUSRERS CAR
Wow
nice video...step by step explanation. if you are in edmonton can i get your number so i may visit you for the same issue and let me know what best you can do for my car.
These guys are hackers
It'll rust thru within a year.
its been over a year and still good, we weren't expecting miracles, welding is the way to go, this was temporary.
Do you guys have a Facebook account I can follow?
Yes we still Curiosity Incorporated there too :)
That background music is super awkward and distracting
And way too loud
WHAT??????!!!!!!
Hi! What's the red thing in a tube in a tube?
Was it the spot putty?
9:16 mp this
It’s finishing or spot putty, it’s like a really thick primer that is available at most body shop supply shops
thanks!
Yeg
Wtf is that background music 😡
Really loud annoying music get rid of it
You need to show people clearly what ever you are using 👎
Too much work. I'll give you $10 to fix my 70 Ford truck
Gotta kill that rust, seal up that bare metal asap. I know it's just a for now but you'd be surprised at how far and bad rust can get when it starts. Use some baby, mineral oil or Vaseline. Tape drain holes, run a brake line down window crack and fill it up about a inch or so. Let sit for a week or drive then drain and save for next time. Ive used ospho for decades. It will kill rust and seal it up. Or Muratic acid or any acid urr ok with. Just use urr brain. That goes without saying but after teens eat tide pods u never know. Rinse with baking soda and water solution. Dry with air or heat. Then prime. I use Car Rep epoxy. It has unlimited shelf life so u can spray a spot now and then also next month. Other 2k primers and coatings have a 24 hour pot life. No good.
