Excellent ❤ When I had rust holes on my vehicle in 2010. I first sand it with a sand paper until I saw silver mental on the edge of the hole, than I used rust protection spray, than I filled the hole with a wire mesh, and I applied fiber polyester on top of the wire mesh, than I sand it down with sand paper, than a applied primer paint and than finally painted it. It was my weekend hobby which only costed me about $50 from Walmart and safety gloves, mask and glasses from the dollar store. The final presentation was okay on my job, but this man job is excellent, love it ❤, thank you sir.
Nice job. It’s tough to weld thin rotted metal. With an older car this isn’t a job that will last for years. He has taken care of the gaping rust hole which was the problem. But it is a repair that will last several years with slight surface rusting through the paint. You just have to keep touching up the light surface rust.
Good enough!!! 👍 No need to be a perfect job but more than good enough to be around people and neighbors where you don’t have to be embarrassed. Thnx for sharing 😊
You have to apply a special primer before you cab apply body filler. Body filler is really only supposed to be used over glass, or bare metal. Fiberglass is water proof, and is stronger than standard body filler.
Nice work! There’s always that guy that criticizes everything, if you don’t try you don’t learn . And welding is not something you learn from one day to another. Same with bondo and sending it . Awesome job bro
As first timer and quick repair on an old 22year old banger with 1.4 engine &66hp . it does the job and looks good in my screen so thumbs-up 👍 and well done 👏 ✔ 👍 another few years and it will be scraped or for parts so the job should last till then 👌👍👏💯✌❤☘
For those who don’t understand why he did the tape the way he did for the paint coats, that’s for feathering and stuff for the actual color. It helps blend it to the original, 👍🏻
DAN i hear you and ditto to that . I use a marine grade filler , totally water proof and a lot stronger . Now i dont use it everywhere but in areas like that it is sometimes a blessing although harder to sand out . I have once had to repair a front fender and used 304 stainless for the lip , then blended with marine grade bondo on my old dodge truck . That was a 91 Dakota . That SS is still there , 400,000 plus . Canadian salt on the roads .
@@klausjensen9150 If I good understand you used marine grade filler with epoxy ? I often put epoxy on the rust and then only paint or putty. Thanks for info ;)
I always use a cheese grater file, when the body filler is the consistency of rubber. This reduces how much sanding down of the filler I have to do. Once the filler hardens. I always machine sand, then block sand the area to eliminate any machine marks.
Good Job. Did the same repair on my old rust bucket about 5 yrs ago, almost the complete sill from front to back and into the wheel arch. Tried to seam weld it but was just blowing holes so stiched it like this chap. I didn't mess around too much with the filler. Just enough to cover the welds and the hit the entire sill with Black Jack. The other sill should be getting done soon, along with the wheel arches. Black Jack again. It's an old car. What do I care what it looks like. If you want it to look new.... buy a new car. Beggars can't be choosers.
He makes it look easy it's not this is a very skilled individual also I wonder how many people have all these tools that he uses for a repair job like this you did a good job but this wasn't his first rodeo he probably works in the body shop and does this routinely or he works on his own side but he's very skilled and he knows what he's doing the average shade tree would have a very tough time pulling this off and specially going out and buying thousands and thousands of dollars worth of these tools it's almost probably cheaper to take it to a body shop then to buy these tools for a one-time fix but I do give him credit he's an expert in his field of body repair very few people have this kind of capability😊
@chopperhehehe I literally just bought a welder, and a big peice of sheet metal. Started messing around with it until I was comfortable with my welds. Then I cut out the rust on my truck. Shaped a patch with cardboard, welded it in. Wasn't hard.
On my Chevy van big rust on lower under doors I got some ABS black plastic 6 in and ran it through a table saw cut it in half. Two pieces the length from tire to tire. Drilled out resessed holes in top and Screwed in self tappers.. Black Caulk the top. Underneath I bent 5 bolts connected to anything. It's ugly Rusty mess but it worked and it will never rust there again. Oh I forgot I used old engine oil in a spray bottle mixed with some paint thinner and sprayed all the underneath before I started. For other projects, If you want free metal just find a commercial metal shop dumpster. If you get lucky you'll find the primed and painted with the plastic film overlay.
Dude, you're a real professional. My hats off to you. May I ask... how many years of experience you have with... well with everything you just demonstrated here?
I can't remember the last time I saw a rusty car. Replacing and patching up panels used to be so common but since they started making car bodies galvanized everything else seems to die before rust becomes an issue.
We see it all the time here in NYC because of all the chemicals spread by sanitation during the winter months. As a matter of fact, our 2005 Honda CR-V EX has some rust on the rear side panel that needs to be fixed.
@@HeartSoulLeake I understand what you're saying because all my friends said the same thing years ago when I think it was possibly Audi who started to galvanize their cars as standard. This was back in the days when me and my friends still enjoyed working on cars. Alll I'm saying is that I can't remember the last time I see a rusty car on the road? In the past, passing your MOT often meant parching up and making sure no sharp pieces of rust were sticking out and car body filler wasn't just used to repair dents, Holes were also a real issue.
@@TerryJonesPrinterRepairs It reminded me of the time when someone put a dead fish inside the door card of my dad's van many years ago as a prank. He was smelling rotten fish for months after! 😁
This whole process reminds me of my 1st "truck", a 1962 Ford Falcon Ranchero. Or the "Rusty Bean Ranchero" as everyone called her. Yes, if i moved the carpet square i could see the road and the rear wheel wells, on the outside body panels, were rusted out. I always wanted to restore here but my dad nixed it. Want to find another one and restore it. With one "minor" modification. Drop a 302 BOSS in it rather than the 289 it came with. 😂😂😂 So when they said rust modifier, does that just mean Naval Jelly? Very nice work!
Good stuff, very satisfying to watch. Inspirational even. Have moat of the stuff in the garage to attempt this on the old 89 k1500 that could use a lil cab corner rocker attention 😅
Hey there, i need to do this myself. Curious if you have an video references of someone doing it properly in your opinion. Would be helpful. Want to make sure I follow someone’s example that knows what they’re doing
this is such an amazing job and there's beauty in skill and repairing stuff instead of throwing it away... yet I can't help myself thinking for the cost of all the tools used (not to mention having a house with a garage) you can probably buy another used 2001 civic :)
But unfortunately another used 2001 Civic will be as bad for rust as that one 😄 and the fun he had repairing it. I only say that as I spent the weekend swearing alot and repairing a sill on my van,🤣
you are right I am on a ranch and bought a 1979 crew cab GMC 4x4 3/4 ton it has rocker panel rust and door rust etc and yes I have access to a shop and have most of the tools to do this however I am not that detail geared to do body work and also busy with ranch work cattle and fencing etc I was going to "Mad Max" this truck by using the patch panels and glue and use rivets holding it together it will look pretty rough when done but also it will probably give the truck a cool frankenstein look as well.
As a lifelong bodyman I have to say that at best that process might serve as a temporary fix for a home shop to get your car through one or two state inspections , but is not a quality repair. the life for that car is very short so i would not advise putting much money in it .
I can attest. I have a 2010 manual Honda Civic. That car is a beast. Im gonna drive it until it finally dies. Im sure it has a few more years left on it and yeah I have done many repairs and maintenance on it.
Hmmm.... This reminds me of my early days in sheet metal repair. Nowadays, the sheet metal is properly fitted and adjusted. I haven't done stippling in a long time, the weld is ultimately continuous and as a result I also only need minimal filler. How many kg of putty have you applied now? Believe me, you can do it with less filler. You haven't done yourself any favors in the long run. But the result is impressive. 😉
@@My_Old_YT_Account Well... Not much, really. Basically, he did almost everything right. Only the execution leaves something to be desired. There are three or four points that I would criticize. 1) The wheel arch consists of two parts (the inner and outer wheel arch), or the inner and outer sills. However, only one panel was made to repair this area. Okay, that's complaining at a high level. 2) The repair plate seems very thick to me (I think it is a 2 mm plate), in contrast to the one used at the factory (the factory plate is 0.7 mm thick). Furthermore, the sheet metal was only roughly pre-formed and finally shaped with a jack. This in turn leads to the sheet metal being misshapen and thus to the use of the filler. Note... The cleaner you make a repair panel, the less filler you have to use! 3) A hole was drilled to seal the cavity, which was then sealed with filler. Filling compound is usually water-absorbent, which in turn leads to corrosion in the long term. 4) The sheet metal was only spot-welded, which means that there is no full-surface connection with the rest of the body. To put it in a nutshell, if the repair panels had been properly preformed, fitted and welded over the entire surface, you would have saved yourself a weld seam that could rust again due to condensation. Which brings me to closing the hole in the wheel arch for cavity preservation with filler. As a rule, a rubber plug is inserted there. Only a layer of zinc stray was applied as rust prevention for the repair panels. Generally, however, a welding and epoxy primer is applied. This would then ensure long-term rust prevention. As I said, I'm complaining at a very high level here. But the procedure is okay for a hobby repair.
One thing i learned as vette man. Fibwrglass doent rust. I dont for the life of me understand why so many people go ahead and use metal again on rust pron vehicals, espeially when they have a perfect template. Even body shop repais. The rust is back with a bubble in under a year and rusted out in a few years, tops. The only time to use steel is going into a pinchweld simply because of strenth and integrity. Id still dink that in and put mess over it. What most people dont understand saying use primer or paint the underside is that the weld melts it and immedialy starts rust as it cools
Zintec is my go to now not just mild steel, not too much more for a patch and doesn't rust nearly as quickly as mild steel, most primers are porous so water goes through them, use a top coat any will do, they are only a key coat btw
Definitely an amature repair using an hobby welder, application of filler poor standard of welding poor with gaps but having said that it's a good effort.
Welds look like mine 😅 I like that 🤝 I would grind the welds more down und apply 2 light coast of Epoxy 2K Primer before the sealant. After the 2k Epoxy it's protected from the outside. Never paint on bare metal !
I don't have good skill welding metals. So I actually use spray foam to create a mold to copy the entire section of the damage section before removing and rust and paint The mold help me a lot to get sheet metal size and shape, and apply Bondo to fit much better.
great video man! what gauge of sheet metal you used and what welder? i did similar repair on my car and it was very tough as it was burning holes regardless of the settings.
Nice one for sharing but I think I'd have more than what I started with 🤷 I'd need a new car as a paint job, replacing the whole of that side and underneath 🤣🤣
I think i would have just thrown some underseal on the weld and left it at that. Nice job. I need to have a go at welding. Where can you get scrap metal for the repair in the UK?
Sheet aluminum works just fine then pop rivet the panel in. Use a fibre glass reinforced body putty first sand then go over with BONDO sand then fill in with evercoat or laquar spot putty after gray primer. Then sand and prime again then wet sand l. And prime again. Paint top coat.
I see men of culture appreciate a skilled man’s trade. This is a work of art!
Glad you actually did the repair the proper way and not just hid all the damage under body filler like some people do. Good work
The end result is excellent!
Everyone has their own style, and different levels of training.

Revolting lil humans love to knock others to prop their ego.

Always good to primer before body filler. Moisture can seep behind bodyfiller I’ve seen large patches of rust form under body filler
You can primer before body filler?! What
primer is porous, won't stop moisture
You have to apply a special primer before you cab apply body filler. Body filler is really only supposed to be used over glass, or bare metal. Fiberglass is water proof, and is stronger than standard body filler.
Filler can go over etch primer - not normal primer

Nice job! Probably would have seam sealed the larger panel inside before welding smaller patch to prevent rust

Zintec is my go to now not just mild steel, not too much more for a patch and doesn't rust nearly as quickly as mild steel, most primers are porous so water goes through them, use a top coat any will do, they are only a key coat btw
You should have used Krown. There are plenty of factory rubber plugs in the underside of the rocker panel for access.
Whats that Song called... 4:40 😊😊😊😊...????
Beautiful job. Can’t even tell there was a problem
Definitely an amature repair using an hobby welder, application of filler poor standard of welding poor with gaps but having said that it's a good effort.
Welds look like mine 😅 I like that 🤝 I would grind the welds more down und apply 2 light coast of Epoxy 2K Primer before the sealant. After the 2k Epoxy it's protected from the outside.
Never paint on bare metal !
Amazing job. Increible tight spot welding, and should there be a minor mistake, bodyfiller is your friend. ;)
Yo dude its spelled incredible just so you know you should of stayed in school
Well.. I´m really sowwy

Mazoor ho gya comment krna hi pda kaam perfect tha
Great repair man!
Good job! It is too much work for general people though.
I don't have good skill welding metals. So I actually use spray foam to create a mold to copy the entire section of
the damage section before removing and rust and paint The mold help me a lot to get sheet metal size and shape,
and apply Bondo to fit much better.
Then replace your whole quarter panel with sheet rock or cement wallboard
Bravo simplement est proprement respect pour les hommes manuels , bon courage à vous.
Sitting in awe watching this. This is by far the worst welding/repair on youtube :O
Os mercenários trocam logo a caixa....
Parabéns!!!💚💛💙🤍🇮🇱
Good job bro. I’ll do this to my ford f150
Excellent video. Slow and steady is what is needed. I could have done without the music, but I am an old man.
I liked it actually
great video man! what gauge of sheet metal you used and what welder? i did similar repair on my car and it was very tough as it was burning holes regardless of the settings.
😂🎉😢😮the
Great job -- great skill, and looks fantastic.
great work! nothing will ever beat hand skills. amazing result sir!
I would like to learn this kind of work/job...Nice work!
Nice one for sharing but I think I'd have more than what I started with 🤷 I'd need a new car as a paint job, replacing the whole of that side and underneath 🤣🤣
Some bad chad going on there ...nice job
Another quality job. I am sure it will last a few months depending n where you live
Jest tanio? Jest tanio!
Jest dobrze? Jest tanio!
I think i would have just thrown some underseal on the weld and left it at that. Nice job. I need to have a go at welding. Where can you get scrap metal for the repair in the UK?
Well done with limited tools and resources 👍
Like u 18:29 18:29
Great result on an old car
Amazing damn I have to try welding. Good job bro!
Good perfection and patience
Really love your videos if you had just fill it with mesh and filler would it still be a Mot pass in the UK?
Probably only if they can't see it. For mot they can't touch anything, as in they can't poke for rust
Everyone's an expert
Sheet aluminum works just fine then pop rivet the panel in. Use a fibre glass reinforced body putty first sand then go over with BONDO sand then fill in with evercoat or laquar spot putty after gray primer. Then sand and prime again then wet sand l. And prime again. Paint top coat.
Outstanding Demo, Where are you located? How much does such a repair cost?
