I really enjoy the weld repairs! Please don’t skip them! This is my favourite car channel on You Tube because of the variation in projects and skills that you demonstrate! Thank you!!
Keep going with the rust repairs.. It always takes time to get your hand back in with welding.. Always good to strip clean and reassemble the torch-tip and definitely make sure the feeding system wheel and tensioner inside the welder body is clean too.. Make sure you gently clean the inside of the earth clamp and get the earth as close as possible to the job.. The repair isn't the Mona Lisa but it looks really good and strong! Keep going looks much better already.
Hello ! I've just started my very first rust repairs on my Volvo 340 project car. I must say it is really cool to watch your content because it focuses on doing it "good enough" without spending astronomous time and money on equipment. I hope you will show us more of the rust repairs soon :) Cheers !
Who's the nice gentleman popping up at the 9 minute mark? I enjoy watching you do these long non flashy fixes, where you just get down to work and I can relax watching you do it.
I´ve owned several 900 (5 in total) but this example is an outstanding rust-bucket! Reminds me of my 900i from 1980. The rust protection on the later models is far better.
Nice to see you are working on the Saab 900. But please put some primer on the backside of any repair panel before welding it on. Now there is nothing between those two panels in the floor. Just a tip 👍
HI good video I think that what you do is amazing you bring new life to cars that most people would scrap not knowing that it just needs sum TLC. 👍👍👌👌p.s welding can be A pain. slow and strong fast and weak or holes. more on the rust repair 👍👍
Colder temperatures can affect welding for sure, some say that you should pre-heat metalwork before welding to make for a better weld in the cold as apparently it can produce weaker welds as the metal cools too quickly and reduces penetration into the metalwork... :)
The problem comes from the outside. The seams are probably not sealed well due bad, cracked, dried out body kit. You welded a piece of metal into the wheel arch. - Was it not to be better to open up the whole part by cutting along the spot welded edge? That way making sure you could reach almost all of the rust area with rust treathener (?). If done that together with you idea to reach the area from the outside then all will be done thoroughly. Now finish it of with a high quality body sealant.
You obviously need a starting point but I think I would have had the wheel off and taken the sealant off in the bad areas and power brushing the rusty areas in the wheel arch before deciding on the plan.
Great work. I love watching rust repair. Thank you for sharing.
Any repair on that terrific SAAB is very much welcome, I've owned quite a few and still miss these.
I enjoy the rust repair videos.
I love the rust repair videos I'd like to see more!

Working on the Saab is always good to watch!
This video seemed perfect really showing a good balance of footage of the welding plus it's nice to see a great car being saved from the crusher 😊
You are becoming quite the artist! Thanks for keeping an old SAAB on the road.

I love watching a bit of repair work. Especially on a SAAB.
Highlight of my day! Glad to see you're working in this beauty again. The longer the video's, the better!
Always like to see rust repairs👍
Enjoyed that - more please!
I enjoyed this rust repair video - thanks 🙏
Not just good, but good enough. Gets the job done👍
I think Skil should support your channel and gift you some head torches 👍.
Loving the Saab content.
Brilliant video as always.
Please make longer videos so we can see more rust repair
Rust repair videos are good for me .

It’s all good 👍 keep going 😊
These kind of videos get a thumbs up from me.

Whàt a fantastic looking car!
Great to watch and learn as usual but one thing you must do. Clean your visor! 😂

3:54 Nah, I think it was like "Okay we've seen enough rust, let's _focus_ on something else, shall we?" 🤣
Nice
More rust repairs please ;-)

Pre heating metal before welding. Never thought about that but clearly logical. ...the molecules move better when warm.

I know a welder, who does mention how fast the welds cool.
how old is the welding wire? is it possible it has started to corode a bit?
