- This beautiful Citroen DS has come in for some rust repairs to the bottoms of the doors and wings. It's a small repair but will make a big difference to the car and hopefully keep it protected for years to come!

Really liked this one, for the format, not just the French beauty!
Just wish we had all the footage! Lucky we had enough to make a video with in the end though
Nice job!
I love the DS - probably the most innovative car of the 20th Century.
It really was ahead of its time
I don't know how you fit all these jobs in. Excellent work on that. Was a great watch.
We don't know either 😂 not enough hours in the day! Thanks for watching
Top job guys, such a nice car and looking great.
Thanks for watching!
A seriously beautiful car in a seriously beautiful colour. And seriously thorough work.
I think this might be the best colour for a DS, what do you think?
@@WhitelandRestorations I'm biassed, as a rich uncle had one in metallic champagne, and I generally prefer blues, but, yes, I can say this could well be the best colour. It does look stunning. Better after your ministrations, of course. And doesn't rot hide well.
The DS is such an iconic shape, stunningly beautiful
She sure is!
Really enjoyed this, interesting car and as always for of detail and master craftsman at work
Thank you very much, very kind
As good friends of mine it was a privilege to watch you both smash this out the park. The car is massive that’s for sure. But I heard something about E30 and Volvo content? Yes I am down for that. Great video guys 👍
Yes more E30 and Volvo to come. Lewis is currently recovering from a visit to the dentist by tinkering with the BMW. MOT soon we hope!
@@WhitelandRestorations oh know you guys are busy. All the best 👍
Nice job Lewis. To answer others' questions on the BH De-ox gel, I've been using it for many years. It is very good, with the down side that it usually takes several applications, lots of agitation with a strong nylon brush or wire brush in-between applications, so it is by no means a quick fix. Also, you must never let it dry out, that causes more grief than it's worth, I use the cling film trick.
Alas, the footage of the rust removal was lost but yes, 100% plastic wrap your rust remover and agitate away. It gets the best out of the product.
This channel keeps getting better and better. I know it's sad for any owner to discover rust, but it makes great content removing, repairing and finishing to see a job done properly.
Some of the music made me think of "Faithless"
Excellent work great result such a pretty car, never realised how long they are
Neither did we.... they are huge!
What a shame we lost seeing the fab work you do, but we got an idea with the surviving footage. Fantastic work as always.
Gutted we lost the footage! Sods law really but at least we had some. Thanks for watching!
Wasn’t a French tickler a Rubber Johnny ? 😂 nice job guys I love that colour it’s proper jazzy and looks lovely on that car 👌👍
Ahem.... no idea what you're talking about 🤣 Lovely colour that, esp with the gold badge
Nice work! Looked amazing when completed!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job guys love seeing your fabrication
Thank you Martin!
Shame about the footage tech can be a pain nice repair to the bottom of the doors
I'm laughing at bounce patrol on in the background. The joys of keeping kids entertained when trying to get stuff done
Won't be long before she'll be wanting to join in on the repairs rather than having a sing song! 😂
"Kitch - do you want a piece of a Citroen DS?" - that's just mean 😂
superb work as always
Thank you! Cheers!
I see Ms Rachel. The grandson has just been singing along to the wheels on the bus. 😊
Good old Ms Rachel. She's a blessing 😂
5 seconds in and you both have me laughing. I needed that, been one of those Mondays here.
Glad to bring a giggle! 😁
Yes more E30 shenanigans!! I love an E30. Mind you the Volvo is delicious too, In fact everything you do is Educational, Informative and Entertaining. In fact you are the New Lord Reith!!
Well thank you very much that is very kind! Glad you're enjoying the videos 🙂 big E30 and Volvo vid to come soon!
great job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful looking car, superb work as always 👏👍
She is a beauty isn't she
If you want to re-shoot your DS door footage you can do mine! Those weren't really rusty anyway...
That music transition at 9:50 is a fantastic bit of DJing/video editing.
Love a DS. Sorry you lost the footage, but it was still a great video.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Well... this is a gift for a guy with a citroen id19.. that has some rust issues and is a fan of your channel. Looking forward to consuming this video! Thanks you both!
Oh dear....some crucial footage was lost.... What a stroke of bad luck. Well, a nice video nonetheless. Wonder what's under the line of sealant in my doors...... I'll try not to look as.... look as possible....
Sounds like a good combo! Enjoy! 😁
Fascinating restoration work and detailing. Gorgeous finish. Boo to pesky memory cards.
Such a beautiful car. So glad shes looking 100% again
splendid work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Shame to miss the fabrication work but top job on a great car.
@@WhitelandRestorations you are most welcome.
Oh dear.. Kitch's resurrected Xantia decided to throw a fluid leak too... an E30 catchup would be good...
To be fair that was an impressive fluid spray wasn't it 😂
7:50 No thank you, I've got enough Citroen DS to last me a decade 😆
Go on.... one more piece 😂
DS. Oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! Be still my beating heart.
She's a head turner isn't she
i have an idea already but why did you make the patch peice rounded and not square?
…et Dieu créa : la rouille. I love Citroën >> Good job, guys. What a disaster with the footage loss. Damned! 😢
Put too much trust in a SD card and it comes back to bite you!
Great work as always, just one question. I noticed on this video and others, that prior to spraying. You always wet the floor to stop the paint settling. Do you get any humidity problems?.
We wet the floor just prior to painting to keep the dust down. We have really good variable extraction and monitor the humidity level so we don't have issues with humility in the booth. Just ensures a cleaner job. We also don't paint with water based paints so there's no issue 👍
@@WhitelandRestorations Many thanks for the quick reply. So glad you don't have humility problems in your booth either.
Doh! Autocorrect strikes again 😂
I grew up in the state of Georgia in the southern United States and during University worked with an older gentleman who would complain in the summer “The humility is high today “
Someone knows what a french tickler is,😂
😂
fab colour: aubergine?
It is, really suits it especially with the gold trim 👌
Classic DS door bottoms unfortunately.
Hopefully now that they are better protected they will last longer!
Sorry to hear about your SD card woes! How did you get on with the Bilt Hamber Gel as I think that's what I've ordered recently? 😊
The gel is great, needs agitation and swapping out more soften but if you can't take the part off the car to soak in the deox-c it's just the stuff you need
Seam sealer is supposed to prevent moisture getting into the joints between panels, However if you seam sealer over the drain holes in the bottom of your doors, it tends to have the opposite effect. 😂
Also best not to use it to hide rust 😂 never on bare metal and never over rot!
Weirdly the ASMR on pulling the rust off was pretty good 😂, the rust part wasn't though
Can't lie, it was quite satisfying!
Buy a citreon gsa they are brilliant to work on
Only joking
Ha, we'll stick with the German/skandi for a bit I think lol
Great work as always but I think you need to throw away the rapture and stone chip and let people see your work
Appreciate that but sometimes you have to do what's best for the car and the customer. The door bottoms of the DS seem to be a weak point being open to water and road salt so we want them to be protected for as long as possible.
Les portes ne sont pas fortes ! 🙂
But they are big and heavy 😂
dreadful appalling awefull meandering nowhere awefull giggles and even worse music pops clicks and bangs ain't music
Clearly not for you..... Thanks for stopping by!
...much worse than we thought..." Hmmm where have I heard that before about an old DS (sort of) recently on a TH-cam channel
