Congrats on the MOT pass! You truly earned that one. That must have been very rewarding for you. Excellent series with some superb tips, tricks and humour to educate and entertain us. Liked and subscribed 👍
Thank you so much for that. I do try my best to create videos that help others, I put useful above entertaining.....or is it I struggle with entertaining haha
Well done Mark. It galloped on a bit more than when I last watched it. I think you used some decent gauge steel. Plug welding is the safest and I seal over it some state using seam sealer and clamp/weld. But you have achieved what you set out to do, it runs and it’s safe. I must get one of those bleeders- more convents the easy bleed I had that needs a old tyre air supply.
Thank you Patrick. I have since injected wax oil into the inside of the sill and under the car to try and keep some rust at bay. I remember the tyre bleeder lol, I had one. This pressure one is fantastic. Don't forget I add links to the tools in the video description. amzn.to/43FZB9M
@@CoatsandGaiters That Focus, with a few hours and a tin of black hammerite and wire brush will do someone a good turn. Remember, my Mini was only £400 and over 2 years later, its still my daily run around...although i probably only drive once a week, prefering th bicycle , for sheer cost and convenience!
@@patrickjmorgan I’m planning to keep it for myself Patrick as a way of cutting costs and then aim to probably try and get a diesel mini again with that £20 road tax. This focus is still £240 a year tax I think.
Hi Mark great job 😉 loved watching that press machine working. I have a question though I always thought the outer sills were not structural but the inner sills were🤔. I have just been removing the rust on the rear and the front of the outer sill on my ford c max 2008 . I found that the front of the sill under car is pretty rusty at parts but I was thinking it would be ok for mot as it's the outer sill ?
Thank you Alexander. Sadly the outer sill is structural I believe as every time I had had a small hole it failed an MOT and needed welding. I think my Fiesta had a small inch square hole and it was immediately failed. You can hide it like many do with fibreglass and filler but if the MOT guy clocks it he will probably fail it.

Congratulations all the hard work and perseverance has paid off 👏🏻
Thank you. Must admit the rust was getting to me at times.

Thank you. Was a challenge but once oil change video is done I can move onto new stuff to video .

Well done Mark, congratulations!
I'm still impressed with your fabrication skills, it's rare these days.
ps nice thumbnail 👍
Thank you Lukas. I’ve injected wax oil into the sills and underneath and just need to do an oil change next week. Then I’m a feee man again lol
@@CoatsandGaiters I've been looking forward to that Sandero engine ever since I saw that short. Hint hint 😜
@@lukas0846 that’s subtle lol
Brilliant 👌 I have a 06 plate focus that’s going to be needing some sill attention this year 😂
Good luck. It can be done just watch the wax oil and fire. That was my biggest concern.
@@CoatsandGaiters will do. Thanks 😊
Got there in the end with it mark.
I had every confidence it would pass
Thank you. It was one hell of a ride, think It gave me more grey hair though.
@@CoatsandGaiters still love a Ford focus though lol
@@jasonmassey805 I'm rather excited to start driving it. It's comfortable and the parts are dirt cheap.

Hello my from marocain good job and good Luck
Thank you
Evening Mark,
I'll say nothing but I told you so. #freddyfocus
Haha I guess it came good in the end Alan.
@@CoatsandGaiters I do believe I was the only one who had faith in #freddyfocus
@@GrandadPunchy What's your predictions on life expectancy lol ? I'm thinking i might need to hose her down a lot underneath come winter.
Jesus never seen a mk2 focus that bad
Haha have you seen the previous episodes as it looked even worse when I first started on it earlier this year.
