  • In this video we are going to repair rusted through rocker panels on this 2001 Honda Civic Hatchback (EP1) with 1.4l 66hp engine. This is quick repair that hides big rust holes by welding new metal pieces and adding automotive body filler on top. Its important to add cavity wax in inside of rocker panels to prevent corrosion from coming back quickly.
    Similar MIG welder to the one we used: amzn.to/3kLtOno
    Makita cordless drill (12v) we used: amzn.to/3i4OPs3
    Quality angle grinder: amzn.to/3GzRgw4
    Angle grinder wire wheel: amzn.to/3GbVI2y
    Wire wheel set for drill: amzn.to/3QoidX3
    Rust converter: amzn.to/3jPbuJ6
    Glass reinforced body filler: amzn.to/3WGxgxg
    Standard body filler: amzn.to/3Cd0Cvd
    Body filler spreaders: amzn.to/3jPbNne
    Quality rotary tool kit (Dremel): amzn.to/3G8skdO

    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, 👍🏻

    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.

    • @joemyler2958
      @joemyler2958 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      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.

    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.

  • @joemyler2958
    @joemyler2958 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    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.

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    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😊
