Great repair as always. And thank you for letting people know the difference between repair and restoration or if the car is worth it. It cost a lot of money if you gonna take the whole car:)

Love that i found this channel. I have a 93 mx5 that i had bought with a body kit on, after removing the skirts it hid some horrors that i thought was beyond repair but after watching your channel theres is definitely still plenty of life in it 😁.

Love watching these videos, i find it strangely yet deeply satisfying repairing rust with sheet metal and welding. I'm looking to get an MX5 soon and expect to find some level of rust.

I did some weld repairs on my old MK2 MR2 years ago which I was anxious about but the satisfaction of building the metal back after cutting out the rot was great.

Thanks for sharing your repair videos, giving valuable tips and encouraging DIY'ers to give it a go at home! Keep up the great work.

I really appreciate the advice at 14:30. This is starting to seem doable!

My favourite rust repair was done on my dad's old van. He used to have a retired bus mechanic weld up his old Mitsubishi van before every MOT. In 2012 the L300 failed the MOT despite the old chap's efforts. In Austria there's a four month courtesy period for expired MOTs so my dad continued to drive the car until he found a replacement. One day after some heavy summer rains I walked past the car and noticed something off in the sill area near the sliding door.

Upon closer inspection the old geezer had patched a sizeable rot hole with corrugated cardboard and filler! A lick of paint hid that quite well until the carboard got damp and started peeling. Needless to say he didn't get to work on any other family cars.

Remember doing repairs like this years ago as a mobile welder. Fantastic results.

Your explanation on this job was great, just confirming how and why you approach the job. Fantastic job! 🇦🇺

Muy bueno tu trabajo. Yo creo que el dueño intentó disimular el defecto en su auto porque tenia algún evento, como una fiesta o algo así, entonces preparó ese parche improvisado para "salir del paso", como decimos en Argentina.

I did my first weld repair the other day on my van doors id bought. It had the typical drill holes for the aftermarket locks. I just want to say thank you for the guidance over however many videos I've watched. Been a great help. Cracking business you have.
