When I was a very young man, that was the only way that I could afford to do bodywork on my cars. It was inexpensive and strangely lasted for many years. I have since grown older and I now have all kinds of expensive welders and different types of sheet metal in my workshop. I am grateful for the prosperity that I worked so hard to attain. Life has taught me to fix almost anything and make it look professional as I finish. You will also aspire to where you want to be in life because you are not afraid to try. Good job young fella.

Wow, I hope people dont think this is how you do the job correctly! I could write a paragraph of everything you did wrong but im not going to because it would take too long. But kudos to you for getting out their and doing your own repair. You will learn and fix mistakes with your future repairs.
I watched over a hundred videos to learn how to repair the rust on my car and this video is the best because its closer to reality than what I saw in the other videos.
But he should have welded all the way around. Spot by spot, not a continuous line. These large gaps are absolutely unnecessary. A few minutes more work, more precise measures, and this wouldn't have happened. Then the expensive filler would not have been necessary. Which also cost time. And look for punch and set-down pliers. Then you don't have to have the insertion plate match the hole exactly.
His taste in music suggested a great deal about his ability. A quality repair takes time, effort and attention to detail. The music he decided to dub over this is a sign he has none of these things.
I don't think the comments were hateful, just telling the truth. That was a really bad repair job but no doubt be did his best and good luck to the lad.
Ive seen worse on a transit van the previous owner stuffed rags and stuff on the sill and body filled over them i dont even know how it worked but it did literally no structure to it tho it cracked when we jacked it up 😂

Props for putting in the effort to replace the area with sheet metal vs the quick and dirty gobs of bondo, or expanding foam I see ppl do. A couple pointers for welding: - For sheet this thin, MIG is doable, but using a shielding gas (Argon/CO2 mix) with a fine gauge wire (0.023" is common), and stitch weld different areas until you have a complete weld will really help prevent burn-through and give you a stronger finished piece. - I could be wrong, but the sheet you used also looked to be zinc plated, so definitely lightly grind to steel around the edges that will be welded and weld in a ventilated area (which you did) as zinc gives off toxic fumes if it is consumed in the weld.
ну, кровь из глаз... как по мне уже лучше бы стекловолокном и штаклей подлечил бы порог, чем этой фольгой... как я не люблю после таких деятелей переделывать, это капец...
You lost me at 7:35 with unfinished welds with large gaps in sheet metal with body filler being applied to cover it up. That is not quality work and it would not have taken much but time to finish it correctly. This exposes the metal to rust again.
@@marvino7132 well... having a weld instead of bondo is 100% better . a lil rock cold damage that area and you'd loose all the hard work cause u saved 1 extra minute of welding.
@@marvino7132 when the panel was cut out and the rust behind it was exposed it could have been treated with rust stop or encapsulator. Then his welds were only halfway done leaving large gaps and then it was covered up with body filler. This will most certainly rust from behind because of the air gap. It may look fine in a year, but you can bet it will be rusting until it breaks through again. Watch Fritzee's Fabrication channel here on YT. Check out his "How To Do Automotive Sheet Metal Repair" playlist especially "Butt Welding." This man gives Master Class quality instruction for free here and is a must watch if you want to know how to do it right.

Quick tip for anyone welding thin sheet metal: Instead of trying to put welds in the space between the sheets, try welding onto the tack weld itself. It makes it harder to burn trough the sheet. Also, if your gonna weld all around a sheet like that take into consideration that the metal might warp and bend from the heat.
I am not a professional whatsoever. But when had the same thing I made it in two steps. One, I have added in the upper side one thin sheet of metal so the patch will sit on it. Made some holes through the rocker itself and welded through those small holes. All parts were treated with special welding spray for corrosion inhibiting. Then added the patch which was also drilled and made spot welds on the extra sheet. Only after made also spot by spot welding the entire panel with the air gun blowing cold air and never one near each other. One on the left one at the right and with closing the gap the time spent blowing air was bigger. I have considered the rocker panel has structural importance and therefore thought it made sense. Any welded part is not like a full sheet of metal. In the end I sprayed rust inhibitor inside the panel and after few days some special wax with a specially nozzle. Outside was sealed using 2k epoxy. 5 years has passed and believe it or not, I still do not have rust in that area.
Excellent although there all kinds of different ways to do things ! Your video gave me a good start point of the concept and when I attempt my Job on my Project I will do the best Job I can and it all depends on how much you want to put in the vehicle to sell it or keep it !!!👍👍👍🙏GOD BLESS US ALL SPREAD THE LOVE..💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Leaving large gaps between the metal sheets will make the filler to crack at some point, therfore the repair is temporarily. The metal sheets must be well welded to the remaining body and cover the entire gap.
@@mikeroberts3660 i know an even far more worse way to fix it, and that is that i would have left the rotten pieces on the car and glue a piece of wall paper over it and then paint it and job done!
Need to weld those patches all the way round, then use a waterproof filler with fiberglass strand, especially in an area that may see water infiltration. Then finish coat with light body filler before epoxy primer and finish coats. It’s a good effort, and it will last a while, but definitely not permanent. Decent job considering. 👍🏻
@@MCTutorialsOnline Next repairs? Are you selling these cars then? Dude, you should not repair cars because you are not suitable for the job because you don't have the patience, interest and therefor not the will to do it propperly. You have all you need to fix this job, except the sheet metal you used was way too thin, but all the other materials and tools are the same i use when i would do a cheap fix like this. So it's not the lack of knowhow but the lack of interest in fixing cars i see in this video, because you sure don't have any.
It's not what I'd consider a "permanent repair", but a 2001 Mazda 323 is not exactly a rare and valuable car that you restore in order to keep for the next couple of decades; it's a beater that just needs to get you through the next couple of months (or years). The repair looks adequate for that. In a couple of years, he can get something like a 2005 Mazda 3 for the money he'll get from the wrecker when he trades that in...
Most of us obviously haven't taken the time to record and edit a video of ourselves repairing rust and upload it for everybody to criticize, so I have to give some credit for that. It does look great, but I'm definitely not a fan of this method and I don't think it'll yield any long term results. Ideally you'd have the patch fitting like a glove before any welding, then weld completely around the seam leaving no gaps. Personally I prefer to use "easy grind" wire because it'll leave a softer weld that's less prone to cracking paint/filler and is still workable.
we have all been there , I was welding my Datsun 120y sill just the same , in my mums garage with an 80 amp Mig welder. 30 years on I can now stick weld, Mig weld and tig weld Aluminium.

I'm going to say the pretty professional job overall does Ryan understand about how you do rust repair on cars this is pretty accurate than what you would see on the Discovery Channel or anything else when they restore cars
This is how ALL DIY videos should be - no Stupid intros, no blah blah blah, I love hearing my own voice nonsense. Just straight to the repair video. Thanks for showing the rest how it's done.
Every time they remove any trash or dismantle a part I keep on getting scared that a snake is likey to slither out from them. I appreciate their patience and hard work though. This one of the best restoration videos on TH-cam I've watched so far
The only thing I have to complain about was the music, other than that..don't listen to these comments. This was a cheap repair, that got the job done. It in no way interferes with the structural integrity or safety of the vehicle..so there is no 'danger' like some are saying. The only thing that could happen in the future is the piece of metal possibly falling off..but even then..not really a life threatening danger. I cant stand when people sit there and critique others in these rude manors, and they probably have some shit eating grin while they are doing it..I mean Were they there to fix it? were they there to buy the supplies? Do they want to send you the proper supplies or instructions to do it the way they want? The piece was so badly rusted, you really did not have a lot of options, but to remove the metal entirely like you did. I mean there was even people bitching about the way you grind the metal off..I mean are you kidding me??? I mean what do you all think he was going to do differently? its so fucking petty. These people do the job once, buy the most expensive products to fix the issue..then they think they have some kind of bragging right to go around and tell people how they should do it..because they did it that way and spent more money then they really needed to. Not to mention, this is all a professional shop is going to do anyway, granted yeah, they will take their time and make it look like its brand new and spotless..but your going to be out an extra $300-$400 for a repair on a piece of the body..that no one is going to see anyway. I have seen this shit first hand my self, case and point. I am out mowing the lawn one day, the new neighbor walks over..and tells me I should mow in straighter lines...get the fuck out of here ya old fart. You fixed/repaired the damage to the best your ability with the tools you had at hand, and what you could afford. There is nothing wrong with that, and frankly that is a major lesson and aspect of life today that is forgotten and spit on. Most important of all though, you were not boasting about any of it or bragging saying "oh you have to do it like this" So dont listen or take any of the shit people are saying you did a good job(excuse my FOUL language).
hi, i'm extremely grateful you watched my video. I am especially grateful for such a detailed comment in which you described everything that needs to be described. my repair was cheap and I needed it fast. I saved over $ 300 on this repair and the repair is still permanent. I hope the others see what you saw.
You obviously don't know how structural rigidity works in a car & how vital the rockers are in the event of a crash. This is NOT "how 99.9% of shops would do it" at all. If this guy (or anyone he sells it to) are unlucky enough to crash this car, they will undoubtedly sustain more injuries than they would have done of it had been repaired properly. This is not petty, & this is why so many people are commenting about it. He had the tools to fix it to a reasonable standard, but he didn't.
@@MrPabsUk I think you don't know what driving a shitbox is like. I've driven around in shit with rockers completely missing and holes in the floor. I scrap them afterwards. Most shitboxes hit the crusher after they get to this stage, a poorly patched rust hole is likely the least of this cars problems. At any rate I've done safeties on cars that I have failed because huge hunks of the frame are missing (Toyota trucks or GM A bodies have frame issues) I don't know what this car is but it's obviously a unibody anyway. Unibody cars are so shit that windshield and back glass give the unit structural rigidity and if you remove them and take the car over a bump or two the entire car will bend. Literally glass and glue is used for structural integrity. Anyways have a good time on the Bus/Train.
@@ryedogg6767 I`ve owned over 200 cars in the last 3 plus decades & a good number of those were purchased as $100-500 shitboxes with failed tests &/or crash damaged, I`m a qualified mechanic & also do bodywork, including welding & I`ve done full blown, ground up resto`s. I`m not sure what your point is supposed to be about unibody construction, I mean, how many separate chassis cars are there these days? If anything your proving my point about the need for uncompromised structure in the rockers if you want to maintain any degree of structural rigidity, yet at the same time your giving this guy a pat on the back for a good job? I reckon I`d be able to kick that rocker straight through in under 2 minutes.. You wanna die a slow death, bleeding out from your crushed legs in a crash that wouldn't have been serious if the cars structure hadn't been compromised by poor quality repairs, then good for you, enjoy. And what percentage of people do these shit 3rd world repairs, then sell the the things to unsuspecting people? Oh, and I`ve not been on a bus or train since 1991. Have a good day..
The thing is that it's a structural part of the car, so this "fix" is dangerous as hell, and people like this should not work on cars at al, because when they fix a spot like that, then i don't want to know how they fix other things. So no way that i would let a idiot like this come near my car, let alone that i would let him touch it!🤣
@@aleksihaapasaari he didnt weld it properly, just used a lot of filler. filler not gonna keep your car together and this is a structural part of your car. as i see it would be better to replace the whole rocker panel. he also used too thin metal i think.
Hi, I made some mistakes, I needed to use higher gauge metal and weld it all. But you can check how it's turned out after two years of using car. Anyone who said that this won't work can check it on this link. th-cam.com/video/B5kuGZErTb4/w-d-xo.html
@@richardmounfield7822 Hi, You can check lifting up and all other details on this link th-cam.com/video/B5kuGZErTb4/w-d-xo.html This is two years after repair.
I was told I have to use same gauge metal as what I'm restoring but I see you use Bondo too so it must hold better with sheet metal .. I'm working on a 1960 valiant I have to do a piece just like this thanks this really helped I've never done it before this helped a lot
Hi, Thanks for watching. This was fast and cheap repair. If you want good and quality repair you need to use same gauge metal. But as you see this repair is still permanent. I'm glad that I helped you with your repair.
Don’t use bondo, it’s cheap but takes away from the cars structural integrity. It’s not designed to cover metal. Hence why when I go buy a car I take a magnet with me.
There's a professional restorer I watch on here. He uses 18 gauge for everything with is thicker than standard body sheet metal. He likes it because he doesn't have to worry so much about grinding through and it's easier to weld. My Honda is mostly 22 gauge which is thin as paper. I used some 20 gauge for my repair on the Honda.
Hi, Thanks for watching and supporting me. I have done some mistakes. I haven't weld all around. But I didn't have that in my plans, I wanted to have cheap and fast repair.
Als ich zum ersten Mal ein Loch am Auto repariert habe, habe ich erst mal ein paar Tutorials geguckt. Das Ergebnis sah sehr viel besser aus und war dtabiler als das im Video gezeigte.
Hi there, Thanks for watching. On this part I was repairing the threshold on the car. By all I know it is not a structural part of the car. The structural part of the car is a chassis that I did not repair here. I put a gauge steel what i haved and repaired rust on that part. You can check my video one year later to. Link in description.
MC Tutorials Online have to tell you this is structural part of the car all cars have what is a monoqouqe shell which means the chassis is part of the whole structure including the part you patched up ! It is indeeed structural , the part you patched up is also a jack point on cars and you not using the correct gauge that sill will collapse if someone in future puts a jack under it to say change a tyre
@@MCTutorialsOnline the sill is a structual part of a monocoque body. The sill is the chassis part of the car. You could of just used thicker steel, run round the rust with the grinder and welded the patch on top if you wanted to do a cheap job on an old banger.
looks good from where im at. ... it might not be show quality, but it beats looking at rust, GET IT LOOKING BETTER BUT NOT BETTER LOOKING THAN THE REST OF THE CAR.
Hi, You can check how it's turned out after two years in this link th-cam.com/video/B5kuGZErTb4/w-d-xo.html Than you can decide is this repair good or not.
Had everyone read below the title of the video, they would know it a 2001 Mazda. With rust problems, he's not doing a frame off restorian, this will help people that are on a limited budget , so it can pass inspection. I believe that's the point here.
Nope . . This sloppy done "repair job" would not pass the inspection here in Sweden either . And a limited budget has nothing to do with a sloppy done job , you can do a proper job even with a limited budget . And I think this guy can do a ok job if he want´s to but this is NOT a what you may call a well done repair , this job sucks to be honest . By the way . . All the critics posted here is not about hatered etc. , it´s just a reaction to a sloppy done job . . . Peace & Out . . . :O) .

Lol, you missed at least a few good inches of metal that isn’t even welded. Any flex or stress placed on that area is going to immediately snap that bondo, then you’ll have moisture and junk going inside of your rocker panel.

Dam I was going say nice work until I seen you put the putty on without welding the sheet metal and sanding it after acouple months that will crack if your going do something and spend money on it then do it properly to make it last
Come on i think he did a great job for his first attemp. You have 40 years of experiance. Know go back in time and remember how mess up your own work was as your first project. SO REMEMBER EVERY EXPERT WAS ONCES A BEGINNER!!!
This is not a “ repair “ is rather a “patch” You made a “cover” when you must assure the functional continuity of the under body boxed working structure. Moreover you made no internal external rust prevention coating on thé replaced sheet In short “don’t try this at home” ,s just a show, not a repair.
We the ones who live in the USA can just order a whole new rocker panel and avoid all the other complications.... but not all of us live the US and resources aren't handy to everyone or to most ppl in western countries, i'd give him a 8 out if ten for this job, the guy is working around what he has and he is making it work, he could have had welded the whole thing given that he was already using a thinner sheet of metal, but lets stop bashing on his work because im pretty sure we'd all do the same if that was all we had to work with.
Took the words right out of my mouth....I guess Ray and Little Stevie did the best they could! They weren't able to attend the "How To Repair Rust" day at trade school, it was a rainy night in Georgia and Ray don't like driving in the rain. So they just stayed home and wrote a song!
Great video, helped me repair my rockers as they were getting bad! Question, did you use gas euth your welder or just fluxcore? Keep up the great work!!!
Please do not repair an old vw like that. You need to weld all the way round for a start.first you should cut all the rust out in a simple shape like a rectangle make your repair piece slightly bigger than your cut, make it the right shape if it fits on a bend etc, draw round your repair piece over existing hole, trim hole to properly fit the new piece. Then use magnets to hold piece in place. Weld tacks at a time going opposite each time and get the metal in line as you go along. Do not run a bead as the metal will warp and you will blow holes. When finished gently flat the weld with a flapper wheel. The only thing this guy did okish was clean the steel to weld to. It must be very very clean and free of paint and especially sealer anything that can burn will ruin any chance of a proper weld very little or no filler should be needed once finished a car is steel not a plaster cast 😂
@@andyc8826 Hi, Yes he need weld whole part. But I haven't, and repairing is still permanent. I'm using the car in daily needs. You can check it on this link (one year later) th-cam.com/video/EeBSMSZCzr0/w-d-xo.html Also you can check my new repair were I welded all around on this link: th-cam.com/video/T4Oi10WyJoM/w-d-xo.html
The repair looks great cosmetically. I'm just not sure why you wouldn't have finished spot and stitch welding in your patches for strength. In the end you said it's your car so I guess you can repair however you choose. I would want my car repaired differently.
Hi,. thanks for watching. Actually I made some mistakes. This was supposed to be fast repair for inspection. What I passed. When I'm going to do similar repairs again I will definitely weld all parts. This repair is still permanent. I will record a video after 2 years of repair. I already recorder video after one year.
Hi, You can check in this link how it's turned out after two years th-cam.com/video/B5kuGZErTb4/w-d-xo.html . I agree with you that this part will not crack at all.
My beloved was a master painter and auto body repair man . He is resting peacefully. I have his shop. His lift. His machines and tools. MIG welder. Metal plate and sheets. Tons of hammers. A large old metal brake. A huge air compressor. Etc. I have a rusty car. And I don’t know how to fix it. Rats!
another dude who is too proud to ask questions or watch some videos before working on a project... I hope nobody tries to do what this video showed....none of it!
And the Mumbai Mercedes runs again. Seriously though, my first attempts at rust repair were nowhere as good as this, Be great to add what the products you were using are for beginners. Things like sandpaper grades, etc.
May as well have filled the inner sill with expanding foam and bondo'd right over the top, awful bodge with no structural strength at all, didn't even weld it all up!
Looking at the rest of that panel it all needs work . Once you have finished fixing it up fish oil or petroleum jelly the whole inside of it so it doesn't rust out again .
Your technique was good but the metal you used was too weak. You should've used steel from a junk car. I still liked the video because you did a good job with what you had.
I certainly don't mean to ask a dumb question and I'm definitely a layman about this stuff, but given the other rust below the driver door wouldn't it have been faster to just replace the whole rocker panel? In my mind's eye it seems like it would have been about the same amount of welding and cutting, but still easier. Again, I'm probably wrong, but I'm interested to know why.
I'm no expert, nor have I ever done this or even used a welder on anything under eight inch plate, but from other videos I've watched you should fill in all the welds and sand them down, then sand all the metal and some surrounding paint to touch up the metal, primer, then Bondo and then primer again paint and clear. I think you spent more time and effort with your Bondo than it would've taken to fill in the welds and use less Bondo tbh, but for a cheap repair on a car that is probably worth nothing aside from its ability to drive (I'm assuming that based on the rust) it's not really a big deal.
Now there's a man who gets it. Keep the cold air from coming up from the Flintstone floorboards, keep the quarter panels from falling off or creating drag at speed, and get that jitney on down the road, there's $$ to be made and no time to waste lol
I think he did a great job considering that probably this was he's first repair. Is nice to actually guide some one by using your experience instead of talking of how much mistakes he made. because now you're a professional but remember your first project? You probably did a worse job

Props for putting in the effort to replace the area with sheet metal vs the quick and dirty gobs of bondo, or expanding foam I see ppl do.
A couple pointers for welding:
- For sheet this thin, MIG is doable, but using a shielding gas (Argon/CO2 mix) with a fine gauge wire (0.023" is common), and stitch weld different areas until you have a complete weld will really help prevent burn-through and give you a stronger finished piece.
- I could be wrong, but the sheet you used also looked to be zinc plated, so definitely lightly grind to steel around the edges that will be welded and weld in a ventilated area (which you did) as zinc gives off toxic fumes if it is consumed in the weld.

You lost me at 7:35 with unfinished welds with large gaps in sheet metal with body filler being applied to cover it up. That is not quality work and it would not have taken much but time to finish it correctly. This exposes the metal to rust again.
So true... he could have filled that up...
So would this be correct as long as it is completely sealed? Or what else is wrong?
@@marvino7132 well... having a weld instead of bondo is 100% better . a lil rock cold damage that area and you'd loose all the hard work cause u saved 1 extra minute of welding.
What im saying
@@marvino7132 when the panel was cut out and the rust behind it was exposed it could have been treated with rust stop or encapsulator. Then his welds were only halfway done leaving large gaps and then it was covered up with body filler. This will most certainly rust from behind because of the air gap. It may look fine in a year, but you can bet it will be rusting until it breaks through again. Watch Fritzee's Fabrication channel here on YT. Check out his "How To Do Automotive Sheet Metal Repair" playlist especially "Butt Welding." This man gives Master Class quality instruction for free here and is a must watch if you want to know how to do it right.

Nice music choice. Gotta love how bass music is working it way into blue collar how to videos.
Quick tip for anyone welding thin sheet metal: Instead of trying to put welds in the space between the sheets, try welding onto the tack weld itself. It makes it harder to burn trough the sheet. Also, if your gonna weld all around a sheet like that take into consideration that the metal might warp and bend from the heat.
stitch welds
@@galehess6676 Right. Stitch, and maybe alternate between sides in order to allow the seams some time to cool.
This technique also works with aluminum if u have a shitty rig
I am not a professional whatsoever. But when had the same thing I made it in two steps. One, I have added in the upper side one thin sheet of metal so the patch will sit on it. Made some holes through the rocker itself and welded through those small holes. All parts were treated with special welding spray for corrosion inhibiting. Then added the patch which was also drilled and made spot welds on the extra sheet. Only after made also spot by spot welding the entire panel with the air gun blowing cold air and never one near each other. One on the left one at the right and with closing the gap the time spent blowing air was bigger. I have considered the rocker panel has structural importance and therefore thought it made sense. Any welded part is not like a full sheet of metal. In the end I sprayed rust inhibitor inside the panel and after few days some special wax with a specially nozzle. Outside was sealed using 2k epoxy. 5 years has passed and believe it or not, I still do not have rust in that area.
Excellent although there all kinds of different ways to do things ! Your video gave me a good start point of the concept and when I attempt my Job on my Project I will do the best Job I can and it all depends on how much you want to put in the vehicle to sell it or keep it !!!👍👍👍🙏GOD BLESS US ALL SPREAD THE LOVE..💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video for those that know the struggle. Just looking to pass a saftey inspection
too many haters here
Leaving large gaps between the metal sheets will make the filler to crack at some point, therfore the repair is temporarily. The metal sheets must be well welded to the remaining body and cover the entire gap.
FUCK IT.. FILL IT WITH BONDO, ITS ALL GOOD, IT FIXES EVERYTHING . LOL
@@mikeroberts3660 i know an even far more worse way to fix it, and that is that i would have left the rotten pieces on the car and glue a piece of wall paper over it
and then paint it and job done!
Its not a repair...its filling a hole with crap
Many critique the man’s skill not taking the vehicles condition into consideration. The repair is only as good as the car and its purpose.
Thats the most profecional patch panel i have ever saw it should last a life time .keep it up and see where you end up.
Need to weld those patches all the way round, then use a waterproof filler with fiberglass strand, especially in an area that may see water infiltration. Then finish coat with light body filler before epoxy primer and finish coats. It’s a good effort, and it will last a while, but definitely not permanent. Decent job considering. 👍🏻
Hi, thanks for watching.
Thanks for suggesting on repair.
I will consider this option in my next repairs.
@@MCTutorialsOnline Next repairs? Are you selling these cars then? Dude, you should not repair cars because you are not suitable for the job
because you don't have the patience, interest and therefor not the will to do it propperly. You have all you need to fix this job, except the sheet metal you used was way too thin,
but all the other materials and tools are the same i use when i would do a cheap fix like this. So it's not the lack of knowhow but the lack of interest in fixing cars i see in this
video, because you sure don't have any.
It's not what I'd consider a "permanent repair", but a 2001 Mazda 323 is not exactly a rare and valuable car that you restore in order to keep for the next couple of decades; it's a beater that just needs to get you through the next couple of months (or years). The repair looks adequate for that. In a couple of years, he can get something like a 2005 Mazda 3 for the money he'll get from the wrecker when he trades that in...
@@peterjohnson9438It might not have the highest price tag, but for some, your car is your car, and you just want to fix it.
Most of us obviously haven't taken the time to record and edit a video of ourselves repairing rust and upload it for everybody to criticize, so I have to give some credit for that. It does look great, but I'm definitely not a fan of this method and I don't think it'll yield any long term results. Ideally you'd have the patch fitting like a glove before any welding, then weld completely around the seam leaving no gaps. Personally I prefer to use "easy grind" wire because it'll leave a softer weld that's less prone to cracking paint/filler and is still workable.
most of us who have not uploaded a video on this type of tinkering, had probably made proper self evaluation.
Should be titled "How I did it, but how you shouldn't"

I'm going to say the pretty professional job overall does Ryan understand about how you do rust repair on cars this is pretty accurate than what you would see on the Discovery Channel or anything else when they restore cars
the work is skilled the results are good, very impressive
He's not a tradesman but at least he's giving it a crack!!
Good on ya mate.. 👍🇭🇲
This is how ALL DIY videos should be - no Stupid intros, no blah blah blah, I love hearing my own voice nonsense. Just straight to the repair video. Thanks for showing the rest how it's done.
What a melon you are
Every time they remove any trash or dismantle a part I keep on getting scared that a snake is likey to slither out from them. I appreciate their patience and hard work though. This one of the best restoration videos on TH-cam I've watched so far
I just watched it cause the music was soothing 😁
Did good for a back yard diy, but you made so much extra work for yourself.
The only thing I have to complain about was the music, other than that..don't listen to these comments. This was a cheap repair, that got the job done. It in no way interferes with the structural integrity or safety of the vehicle..so there is no 'danger' like some are saying. The only thing that could happen in the future is the piece of metal possibly falling off..but even then..not really a life threatening danger.
I cant stand when people sit there and critique others in these rude manors, and they probably have some shit eating grin while they are doing it..I mean
Were they there to fix it?
were they there to buy the supplies?
Do they want to send you the proper supplies or instructions to do it the way they want?
The piece was so badly rusted, you really did not have a lot of options, but to remove the metal entirely like you did. I mean there was even people bitching about the way you grind the metal off..I mean are you kidding me??? I mean what do you all think he was going to do differently?
its so fucking petty.
These people do the job once, buy the most expensive products to fix the issue..then they think they have some kind of bragging right to go around and tell people how they should do it..because they did it that way and spent more money then they really needed to.
Not to mention, this is all a professional shop is going to do anyway, granted yeah, they will take their time and make it look like its brand new and spotless..but your going to be out an extra $300-$400 for a repair on a piece of the body..that no one is going to see anyway.
I have seen this shit first hand my self, case and point. I am out mowing the lawn one day, the new neighbor walks over..and tells me I should mow in straighter lines...get the fuck out of here ya old fart. You fixed/repaired the damage to the best your ability with the tools you had at hand, and what you could afford. There is nothing wrong with that, and frankly that is a major lesson and aspect of life today that is forgotten and spit on. Most important of all though, you were not boasting about any of it or bragging saying "oh you have to do it like this"
So dont listen or take any of the shit people are saying you did a good job(excuse my FOUL language).
hi, i'm extremely grateful you watched my video. I am especially grateful for such a detailed comment in which you described everything that needs to be described. my repair was cheap and I needed it fast. I saved over $ 300 on this repair and the repair is still permanent. I hope the others see what you saw.
Yeah man, good job making this video, my repair will never be perfect either but neither is my car.
You obviously don't know how structural rigidity works in a car & how vital the rockers are in the event of a crash. This is NOT "how 99.9% of shops would do it" at all. If this guy (or anyone he sells it to) are unlucky enough to crash this car, they will undoubtedly sustain more injuries than they would have done of it had been repaired properly. This is not petty, & this is why so many people are commenting about it. He had the tools to fix it to a reasonable standard, but he didn't.
@@MrPabsUk I think you don't know what driving a shitbox is like. I've driven around in shit with rockers completely missing and holes in the floor. I scrap them afterwards. Most shitboxes hit the crusher after they get to this stage, a poorly patched rust hole is likely the least of this cars problems. At any rate I've done safeties on cars that I have failed because huge hunks of the frame are missing (Toyota trucks or GM A bodies have frame issues) I don't know what this car is but it's obviously a unibody anyway. Unibody cars are so shit that windshield and back glass give the unit structural rigidity and if you remove them and take the car over a bump or two the entire car will bend. Literally glass and glue is used for structural integrity. Anyways have a good time on the Bus/Train.
@@ryedogg6767 I`ve owned over 200 cars in the last 3 plus decades & a good number of those were purchased as $100-500 shitboxes with failed tests &/or crash damaged, I`m a qualified mechanic & also do bodywork, including welding & I`ve done full blown, ground up resto`s. I`m not sure what your point is supposed to be about unibody construction, I mean, how many separate chassis cars are there these days? If anything your proving my point about the need for uncompromised structure in the rockers if you want to maintain any degree of structural rigidity, yet at the same time your giving this guy a pat on the back for a good job? I reckon I`d be able to kick that rocker straight through in under 2 minutes..
You wanna die a slow death, bleeding out from your crushed legs in a crash that wouldn't have been serious if the cars structure hadn't been compromised by poor quality repairs, then good for you, enjoy.
And what percentage of people do these shit 3rd world repairs, then sell the the things to unsuspecting people?
Oh, and I`ve not been on a bus or train since 1991. Have a good day..
did the best he can with what he had and looks much better than it was before well done
The thing is that it's a structural part of the car, so this "fix" is dangerous as hell, and people like this should not work on cars at al, because when they fix a spot like that,
then i don't want to know how they fix other things. So no way that i would let a idiot like this come near my car, let alone that i would let him touch it!🤣

I was told I have to use same gauge metal as what I'm restoring but I see you use Bondo too so it must hold better with sheet metal .. I'm working on a 1960 valiant I have to do a piece just like this thanks this really helped I've never done it before this helped a lot
Hi,
Thanks for watching.
This was fast and cheap repair.
If you want good and quality repair you need to use same gauge metal.
But as you see this repair is still permanent.
I'm glad that I helped you with your repair.
Don’t use bondo, it’s cheap but takes away from the cars structural integrity. It’s not designed to cover metal. Hence why when I go buy a car I take a magnet with me.
There's a professional restorer I watch on here. He uses 18 gauge for everything with is thicker than standard body sheet metal. He likes it because he doesn't have to worry so much about grinding through and it's easier to weld. My Honda is mostly 22 gauge which is thin as paper. I used some 20 gauge for my repair on the Honda.
its a great video - he took out hte rust and replaced it with metal and grinded it and expoxied it i dont know why there are so many haters

Very poor bodge, this is a structural part of the vehicle, and needs to be fully welded with the correct gauge steel.

On this part I was repairing the threshold on the car. By all I know it is not a structural part of the car. The structural part of the car is a chassis that I did not repair here.
I put a gauge steel what i haved and repaired rust on that part.

Wouldn't pass inspection in the UK. Regs here state that repairs like this must be continuously welded.
That would not pass inspection here in Canada either!
Nope . . This sloppy done "repair job" would not pass the inspection here in Sweden either . And a limited budget has nothing to do with a sloppy done job , you can do a proper job even with a limited budget .

@@MCTutorialsOnline what kind of welding is that?
Lol, you missed at least a few good inches of metal that isn’t even welded. Any flex or stress placed on that area is going to immediately snap that bondo, then you’ll have moisture and junk going inside of your rocker panel.

Hi,
Thanks for watching.
In this repair I used galvanized sheet metal.
I used tiny sheet.
Use at least 0.8mm thickness.
@@MCTutorialsOnline thanks for that. It is very usefull to me.
Please do not repair an old vw like that. You need to weld all the way round for a start.first you should cut all the rust out in a simple shape like a rectangle make your repair piece slightly bigger than your cut, make it the right shape if it fits on a bend etc, draw round your repair piece over existing hole, trim hole to properly fit the new piece. Then use magnets to hold piece in place. Weld tacks at a time going opposite each time and get the metal in line as you go along. Do not run a bead as the metal will warp and you will blow holes. When finished gently flat the weld with a flapper wheel. The only thing this guy did okish was clean the steel to weld to. It must be very very clean and free of paint and especially sealer anything that can burn will ruin any chance of a proper weld very little or no filler should be needed once finished a car is steel not a plaster cast 😂

Looking at the rest of that panel it all needs work .
Once you have finished fixing it up fish oil or petroleum jelly the whole inside of it so it doesn't rust out again .
Your technique was good but the metal you used was too weak. You should've used steel from a junk car. I still liked the video because you did a good job with what you had.

I certainly don't mean to ask a dumb question and I'm definitely a layman about this stuff, but given the other rust below the driver door wouldn't it have been faster to just replace the whole rocker panel? In my mind's eye it seems like it would have been about the same amount of welding and cutting, but still easier. Again, I'm probably wrong, but I'm interested to know why.
If Alfred Hitchcok would have been a sheet metal fabricator!
I'm no expert, nor have I ever done this or even used a welder on anything under eight inch plate, but from other videos I've watched you should fill in all the welds and sand them down, then sand all the metal and some surrounding paint to touch up the metal, primer, then Bondo and then primer again paint and clear. I think you spent more time and effort with your Bondo than it would've taken to fill in the welds and use less Bondo tbh, but for a cheap repair on a car that is probably worth nothing aside from its ability to drive (I'm assuming that based on the rust) it's not really a big deal.
Now there's a man who gets it. Keep the cold air from coming up from the Flintstone floorboards, keep the quarter panels from falling off or creating drag at speed, and get that jitney on down the road, there's $$ to be made and no time to waste lol

That is a great lesson in not how to do it !!!
I think he did a great job considering that probably this was he's first repair.
Is nice to actually guide some one by using your experience instead of talking of how much mistakes he made. because now you're a professional but remember your first project? You probably did a worse job
