- Cutting out the rusted area on the nearside front towing eye. Making a suitable repair panel and welding it into place. With no pin puller tool it was time to think on my feet....With metal pieces from a broken kitchen shelf unit I was able to remove the dent on the windscreen pillar

GOOD JOB ON THAT A PILLAR SIR,,,WISH I COULD SHOW YOU A PICTURE OF MY KEI CAR THAT I HAVE MORE THEN 20YEARS,,,SAME SIZE BUT 4 DOORS,,,MALAYSIA PERODUA KANCIL
I had to Google that car model. I'm surprised to find out that it's pretty much a rebadged Mira. Thank you for the comment as I don't really know much about this car model and learning every day.
Thanks for watching
Glad my previous comment about the paint gun cam didn’t put you off using this technique altogether as this time it worked really well for the welding.
Thanks for the comment. I will continue trying new things and see what works. I think of this video series as testing the water so I can improve.

Fairly simple repairs. Why was this car in the scrapyard?
It makes me wonder too. Maybe it was uneconomical to repair and it's difficult to find parts? Or could be that older cars are more expensive to keep on the road in Japan? What are your thoughts?

@@MEZURASHII.lifeinJapan I believe is the later one. Older vehicules are heavily taxed.
Keep the good job! 👍
