Nice work. I need to do this repair to my Golf, but it's a big job, and I don't have any welding experience. Yours was the first video I saw in which sandpaper (2000 grit) was suggested to take care of over-spray lines. . I couldn't find any for some recent work, so I used 1500 grit. Works, but leaves some scratches and cloudiness, which I hope will come off with polishing compound. Incidentally, when you say polish with "5 meter" compound I assume you mean 5 MICRON.
Really? Perfect? Did you not see the gaps between those tack welds? The tack welds should be entirely joined up before the seams are sealed. The sills are bloody structural for crying out loud.
@@homeworker-ingo yeah the result is bollocks. If you hadn't covered that shit job with filler, it would fail the MOT. It's a structural part and should be welded along the entire seam. Do it properly of bugger off.
Just a question do I need to remove floor mats or something the door seals etc is there cables underneath the floor mat that can get burned before welding?
You buy a quality item from Danske Klokkerholm, and then it turns out that your skills are no longer enough. No 90 degree corner welds. Always circle joints otherwise the weld may crack. You spot weld only. Always when a plate is cut through, it must be fully welded. There is not much safety in the event of a side collision, which is perhaps why you are working in the dark
Fantastic job! Gives me confidence to do mine.
Thanks...you can do it
Man,you did it such a great job here!Awesome
That's a work of art.
Something I wish to learn

We do not weld through sheet metal parts. We only score points at equal intervals. The result speaks for itself.

where did u buy the spare parts from ?
I need to get this done on a Passat
good video. just had mine done, good but i dont think as good as yours. i'm confused about end covers and rope paste job. but thanks.
good made
*Thank you*
Just a question do I need to remove floor mats or something the door seals etc is there cables underneath the floor mat that can get burned before welding?
Nope
Great video but why all that filler, was the replacement new sill damaged ??.
Thanks. The sill wasn't completely straight
Hey mate, what grinder and pad is that for removing the paint and primer, to get down to the metal at the start of video ?
Thanks, it's all in the video description
Yep seen that. You are using a grinder with sanding pad / tool not a specific sander?
I bought this one as a set amzn.to/3NMZN29
how many hours did it take you?
7 days in total + drying
Why can't car bodies be made of Aluminium or something other than the dead loss Steele ?.
Is cheaper
Aluminium corrodes too!
How much welding skill does this require?
I'm not a professional welder either. Practice a little and it will work
