    👍💪 it needed 2 more bolts 🔩 than I've got laying around the garage! Would've had to make another trip to the hardware store! 🤬

    Estonian man can fix/fabricate anything from a hunk of rusty metal and sweat. Foiled by headlight and rubber grommet/gasket. LOL j/k You do amazing work! Keep it up!

    Just a heads up. Since the haul is made out of fiberglass, if any of the through bolts/nut holes are suspect bad, you can always use polyester resin and fiberglass mat (CSM and/or 1708 or such) to build up any enlarged hole. And even reinforce the holes to make them more solid and hold perfectly. Just an idea... Thumbs Up!

    1:27 I would recommend putting a metal strip behind, which runs over the full length of the plastic piece, so the load can spread better to the plastic - and if you put pressure on the plastic railing, the metal can support it.

    I have one suggestion - because you left the negative cable so long, it can short to positive side of the battery when someone will unscrew the negative terminal

    On that railing repair; It seems another piece of tubing, even pvc, inside the faring, instead of washers, would have increased the strength and rigidity, especially if it ran full length of the affected area. Thx for sharing the project

    You can clean up the rusty stains inside that Battery box with Watered-down Acid meant to clean a swimming pool, or Full-Strength Vinegar, or tub and Tile Cleaner for a bathroom - it will take all the gross orange rusty stains right off the black Plastic or Gelcoat Fiberglass

      Sideways, feeding in the seal first on an angle and the pressing the lamp in. Super fiddly operation. 😀

    Nice progress! That's an impressive key you have there. Someone really must have wanted to get it started.
    My guess is 92 bolts. (If I'm right - which I doubt - let someone else have the plans, I'm just guessing for fun).

    'Only' 86 bolts for the circumference. I'm wondering how can you have the patience to deal with the rust episode after episode. And how come haven't you cold welded any of the stainless steel hardware.

  • @jannes6974

    I like to watch all of your projects and like the rest I've enjoyed this one too. Especially when they get you to go to silent mode. Does that mean you are using words that are shouldn't be heard? My guess for the nuts and bolts used is 144! Nice going you're doing well rebuilding the Argo.

    Love your work. Thanks for the great content! I never knew I wanted an Argo until I saw your channel. Lol! That Argo strip sealant looks to be identical to 3M butyl strip caulk. Also, why not new fuel line?? 😮
    I guess 86 bolts.

    • @DonnDIY
