![GQ Patrol Roof Rust Repair!! [HOW TO!]](/img/1.gif)
You're the FIRST person on youtube that I have seen do GQ gutter rust PROPERLY. Even re-installing the actual gutter as per factory spec.
awesome, thanks mate! i appreciate the appreciation! just hard to get the content to everyone is my challenge haha
@@TwistedMetalCustoms I used to own a VERY well setup GQ wagon. But I was forced to sell it because of gutter rust, wasnt even as bad as the one in your video.
If I had of seen this video a year ago I would have had the confidence to do it myself honestly.
@@_Bags ah bugger mate! well im glad it has given you confidence now going forward! really glad you enjoyed it
finally a proper rust repair
Just did the plenum and windscreen channel on the wifes 67 impala. Was rusted right through all 3 layers . Seems like just a little bit of water from a leaky windscreen would destroy the whole thing. I flooded it with por 15 and sealed it with seam sealer. Can understand exactly your methods. Great job and the owner must be happy with your work.
Hey Peter, thanks for the comment mate! Yeah wow nice work, it's a full on job as you know! I don't think it takes much for it to rust, especially if you have condensation on the inside roof, it just runs back down to the rail and rusts from the inside too, thank you sir, I'm glad you can see the method in my madness 😄
Great video mate top class
Cheers matey, it was some of my early work and a bit "how ya goin" on the camera haha, but i appreciate the comment and feedback!
GOOD JOB. to be definitively efficient against rust , you should put grease everywhere. grease is the only thing very efficient against rust. put grease between metal and carpet, inside door, behind metallic bumper, under the vehicle, behind the repairs you can make (everywhere inside the body - hidden erea - instead of using paint), hollow areas (necessarily hidden, so no need to be aesthetic). For rear wings unreachable with a paintbrush, use an extender and pour old oil everywhere each year. Rust almost always comes from the inside and welds. Handyman Experience - 35 years. From france
awesome work mate, looks mint. the last guy must of had a hard time keeping that bog there to make the rail up.
Hi mate, thanks for the comment!
Thank you, it is coming along nicely this GQ, Yeah I was actually impressed on the bog quality, fooled me haha 😄
Mate, that went from nightmare 2 work of art. Had mate who had an Isuzu and one day the entire roofskin blew off. Never seen anything like it. Rusty the rat got 2 that one big time.
Thanks for the kind words my man! Big job but came up really nice.. wow really, holy shit that would have been hectic!
Great video. Would you please comment: it was not clear from watching, you are essentially making a bunch of lap joints. What kind of metal prep did you do prior to welding e.g. rust converter, zinc weld through primer, other? Thank you!
Hey mate, yes the lap joins are basically just a replication of what was from factory. I do cover metal prep in this and the next video, but basically clean, sand with 400g, I used epoxy primer, and up to you but you can use a brush on seam sealer , then paint over that. When you weld through the spot holes, clean in the hole to have good surface to weld, the spot weld will burn back a bit if the coatings but it's still protected like a gasket on the rest of the panels, cheers mate 👍
How much to fix gutters on the GQ nice job 👍
Thanks mate! a fair bit but cheaper than scrapping the car 😅, came up nice once painted though
Definitely some cool work on this one iam looking ar cutting bits out of a gq long wheel base wagon for my one hopefully it is similar
thanks buddy! yeh big job, but im sure it should be very similar, the way its connected is how most (that ive seen) are joined, good luck mate!
@@TwistedMetalCustoms yep went out and had a look and got the grinder into it this arvo was what u needed watching yours to get motivated thanks
@@MrDattopet thats awesome mate! glad you are getting into it! all the positive comments on here makes me want to keep recording for everyone too, cheers! editing xp - Ep 5 as we speak
@@TwistedMetalCustoms yer iam looking at a few different RUclips channels thro out Australia and slowly find some new stuff I like rather than how alot seem to be going very scripded-staged I found you two day for the first time
@@MrDattopet well i am glad you found me! always happy to hear improvement ideas on my videos and editing, even info on restoration as im still learning too. but trying to share what i know for the average person to follow along and give it a go, glad you joined mate, cheers
Gday mate I was wondering 💭 he got a swb as well and it comes with a spare roof, could I just cut sections out of the doner roof and te weld them back onto the current one?
Hi mate, yeah you sure can! As long as it's the same profile. The hard part is if you are not removing the body sections, it's spot welded on the 3 layers to the body.. I think easiest way is cut the section from the donor and flip over and drill out the spot welds, seperate the 3 sections from the donor by drilling all spot welds, then remove the parts from the patrol, then re assemble piece by piece welding as you go like I did..
If that makes sense haha..
Just be patient as you stitch weld the outside panel or you will get warpage
Is part 3 up?
Hey Hayden, sorry mate I ended up finishing this job and painting it, but I do have some more rust repair videos coming up on my VJ charger and a VH commodore, I go more in depth and less shakey camera too haha 😄
Gday. Nice work!
How much did this cost to do (retail)?
Is it worth undertaking myself??
Cheers in advance,
MrFall >:)
Hi MrFall! thanks for the comment, total cost of materials wasn't much at all.. i think about 200 dollars in metal, to get the folds done by a fab workshop was about $200, but the real cost is time.. if you are semi confident in your knowledge on rust repairs then i say go for it! its a good learning curve, otherwise to get someone to repair it, it will cost thousands mate
@@TwistedMetalCustoms Thanks for the info.
I reckon I'd do a great job (great Beginner job anyway).
Trouble is time and a dry place to do it...
Cheers n DSOT >:)
Would you be able to do this but not keep the gutters?
yeah you sure can mate, is called shaved gutters. but doing this will mean your door rubbers will see a lot more water, and if they leak you will have water ingress, so if you do this be aware of that 👌
