Hey Nigel, the comments like yours make the channel worth while honestly 👍 I’ve started to earn a couple of quid from doing it but the comments and support and worth more so thank you for always taking the time 🙏
@@YTDTETV Exactly what's happened to me last month when I needed a repair doing. The bloke who did it came recommended too. Just goes to show how people's ideas of a good job differ from each other. I had a bad feeling about it from the start. Should have gone with my gut feeling lol.
@@matttaylor1372 your right some people’s good jobs are alot different to others, I’ve learnt to ask if I’m unsure on what type of job they want straight away that way pricing can be different and most importantly a customer isn’t unhappy when they collect there vehicle.
Hey bud thank you really appreciate the comments and kind words 👍 I’m keen to get into the T5 to, there’s plenty out there just a case of waiting till you find the right one.
One of the best sill repair vids I've seen for the typical Golf Mk5 sill issues. I have a mk5 TDi 4Motion and both of mine are pretty bad. I was shocked there was a clear golf ball size hole when you pealed the underseal off, goodness knows what mine are hiding. I was very pleased you sprayed some zinc and wax in there after you were all done, that was always going to be my plan as I was aware of the large hole under that plug from previously removing my liner. A job for the summer now :) I've been going back through your vids and I'm impressed, a local Kent lad too (I'm from Faversham).
Hey bud thank you 👍 only some of them seem to go and most don’t but I guess they are getting a little older now. Yep gota get something to keep the rust at bay after paint so a little bit of zinc and wax in there, oh blimey you ain’t to far away at all 👍👍
Love the way you work and act Lewis, a proper gent who does things properly, a VERY rare commodity nowadays, keep up the good work mate, I think once you get really discovered on utube, you'll take off.....🚀🚀🚀
Hey bud thank you I really appreciate that 👍👍, LUCAS was my late sons name unfortunately he passed away a few years ago but that’s another story. My name is Nathan 😊
loving the projects. your tutelage is second to none. so a bug thankyou. im also in the early stages of a t5 build so i can WAIT to see yours take shape. aaah yeahh!!! 😄🍻🍻
Hey bud thank you appreciate that, yes I’ve seen so many welding jobs grow massively when cleaned off I was lucky on this one. The problem with so much stone chip is that when water gets in there it can’t go anywhere except cause more rust.
Nice repair that mate, do you know if when you take the rear arch cover off a caddy, is there any space to get something to push out a dent near rear lights ?
You repair like you do it for your own car. I have to do this on my car, but it would have an additional problem. The thresholds are blocked, they were hit in the middle and are blocked in such a way that the threshold lightly touched the bottom of the door and this scratched the paint on the threshold a little. The rust is tiny and is located exactly at the end of the threshold. Do you think that the clogged part of the threshold can be repaired and brought to the front?
@DTE TV don't worry about replies, eventually there's too many. Content on mk5 golf is nowhere to be found, I got a 4motion BKD I'm trying to restore so anything mk5 related is gold dust
@@VW25 thank you I try my best to reply to everyone, you take the time to message me so the least I can do is reply. Ooo a 4 motion one I’ve been thinking about getting one for track days as mine went like stink but just span up on the corners I can image the 4 motion would fly round.
@DTE TV I had disregarded the 4 motion as extra weight, extra drive train bull shite, all the above, but saw a project car with it and all the retrofitted parts I wanted and thought f it.
Thank you for the video Nathan. Nice job you did on the sill repair. Sad to Golf go, but as you rightly said you can't keep them all. Looking forward to the T5 build - ah yeah. 👍
Hey Karl thank you as always mate really appreciate it, 👍 if I had a small plot of land of my own and a few more pennies in the bank I’d keep them all but this one frees up some monies for the T5 and the black golf. I’m keen to get on with the T5 👍👍
Hi just discovered your channel after buying a cheap mk5 golf to fix up. It needsthe sill welding but im struggling to see where the outer sill is welded to underneath. Is it welded to the verticle flange with the jacking point?
Another furfectt unist job as usual Nathan all your work is and someone will be getting a good car with all the jobs done so will not have to worry and hopefully trouble free motering for awhile I'm looking forward to the golf GT keep the good work up as useual
Hey Martin thank you, it can be tricky trying to recreate stonechip as manufacturers lay it on really nice and thick and getting a similar consistency from a shutz gun. Appreciate the comment 👍👍
Hi Anthony thanks for the comment appreciate that 👍 that’s my Nissan elgrand, very similar but the jap version. If there’s enough want for it I’d do a series on it I love that bus.
Nice job that. I think back to some of the patches I had done on old escorts, fiestas and novas back in the day or welding I have seen on sills and floor pans - looked like patching up the hole in the side of the titanic using old RSJ’s and Road plates LOL. Your repair on that is invisible and it will last. So who was the cake maker? Pav?
Hey B-RY thank you mate 👍 yes I’ve seen some awful plates just lashed over the top to. Yes pavo used to be a cake maker, I didn’t believe it at first but yep OL cake baker.
Firstly Nathan just want to say I love your videos and you are very knowledgeable. I'm subscribed ! 😊 I just wanted to ask you if you think it would be a big job to convert my 07 plate mk5 gti to a bkd 140 bhp diesel . I have a donor gt tdi for the conversion. Also Is this something you would be interested in doing ?
Hey Steven so sorry for the delay, I really appreciate your comment and glad you enjoy the channel. Yes a BKD would go straight in there would just be a case of fitting the engine loom in with it. It’s not something I could take on at the moment but appreciate the offer 👍👍
Great video 👍 came out perfect. Great for those just starting out on bodywork. Did you see those Plasma Cutters in Lidl recently, apparently work very well.
Love the video again mate you are getting much better at the videos you are really good at paint work can't wait for you to paint the t5 going to look sick
Great attention to detail and a well prepped job Finish looks very clean and smooth Im about to tackle the same job. Someone else will weld What did you use to clean out the inside of the sill
Hey bud thank you always appreciated 👍, the mrs is super she has everything she asks or needs for and I’m always there at the drop of a hat but.. since the boy had to leave I have to do my own thing and try to be happy and that for me is playing with cars sort of keeps me sane.
Not a bad repair , I wouldn't class this a permanent restoration to OEM . The problem will soon reappear as filler was applied to bare metal , no weld thru primer used , no etch primer. This was a repair not a permanent fix.
Hi bud thank you, if you have a machine mart near you they sell a stone chip and the bottle goes on a little gun thing. You can also buy it from eBay, stone chip and the gun comes as a kit 👍
Nice repair. I'm doing a load of sill repair on my elgrand currently. Small rust section turned into the entire rear quarter and sill needed cutting out. Shaping the metal with basic tools takes hours. Is that an elgrand in the background at the end of the video? Also what cavity wax is that? Did it come with the 360 degree nozzle?
Hi bud thank you 👍 yes it’s an elgrand 😊 3.2d e50. Oh man rust does grow sometimes and yes your right shaping the metal does take some time. My elgrand needs a few patches here and there to, I did look for repair panels but with no luck. I can remember the brand name but yes it had a 360 nozzle, I’ll check brand name tomorrow. Thanks for the comment appreciate that 👍
@@YTDTETV yeh mines a e50 3.2 too same color too. yeh me neither. Supposedly bongo sills are somewhat similar but I didn't wanna risk it and I already bought a big sheet of 1mm steel to make my own patches anyway. I've been recording most of it so plan to make a video one day. Thanks for looking, I was just gonna spray the inside of the sills with motor oil, as I've already got a 360 nozzle I put on a garden pump sprayer. What's the story on the elgrand I ain't seen any videos about it on your channel.
@@ratgreen the 3.2 is the best engine, I’ve seen 2 of the 3.0 ones and they where both broke. I didn’t know that about bongo panels being similar 👍. Ye why not make a video, is good for history of a vehicle and keepsake. I had a Tranist connect and I accidentally spilt loads of oil in the back and I had oil dripping out the sills for weeks after but it never went rusty so it does work 👍. I have mentioned it in one of the early videos but I havnt made a video on it, I will when I weld it up 👍
@@midnightrider6985 no worries yes me to, a few people have mentioned water pumps. Soon as the engine is sat on the floor I’ll be tearing straight into it 👍
@@midnightrider6985 hey bud had a few weeks off but T5 is in the workshop and I’m ready to go. Sorry for the delay thanks for checking in appreciate that 👍
Bit weird how some rot and some don’t, I had a Tdi 4motion on 200k and it was like a new car underneath yet I’ve seen other with less miles that are rotten.
Hey bud you are so right some stay absolutely mint and some rust. I wonder if some shells where made in a different place or some where made with a different metal.
Its unbeleivable how many garages have stopped welding cars i needed 2 plates at the rear off my sills at jacking points on my Bmw E38, I rang 7 garages untill i found one willing to doo the job 2x plates cost me £250 ,a lot of the other garages said it time consuming and not cost affective thats why they stopped.
A lot of garages just want to plug diagnostics machine in and change a sensor or knock out services. They dont actually have the ingenuity to do this sort of thing
@@mrwhite3094 when was the last time the fuel filter was changed? I wonder if the injector seals are slightly leaking. It will be really black inside the fuel filter if so.
hahaa legend thats good enough for the girls we date ;p love the videos love the weilding my mate has a 2008 1.9 gt with 242k on it still going strong love theese german cars man :)
Haha I love that sayin and Derek from VGG is a top guy, oh man the vag cars from this era are so well built a lot better than the newer stuff. Appreciate the comment thank you 👍👍
@@Elloellogames i havnt done it yet but I’m curious after seeing him do it so many times 😂. T5 video is next I’m looking forward to getting the engine out to 👍
Hey bud sorry for the delay, your so right that’s the 2 main spots front wings and rear sills, strange that because the rest of the motors normally stay good.
@@YTDTETV Just replacing the WHOLE sill on a 2007 Jetta. There is a gap at the bottom transition of the sill. Mud collects there and it rots. I've bought a new sill skin, but I'm fabricating the ends myself. Galv primer, then etch primer, epoxy primer then a coat of "Epoxy 121" from RustBuster. That stuff sets diamond hard, but stays flexible. Do all of that and it will NEVER rot again. One more tip, buy some 36% Hydrochloric Acid and paint it on the "clean metal" BEFORE you start work. WEAR A MASK. If it turns yellow, it is killing intergranular rust (rust which is already IN the metal that you can't see). Rinse, dry, repeat until it doesnt turn yellow anymore, then rinse well, dry and paint with "Zinga". Do NOT paint over the Zinga immediately, spray some water on it and leave it for a few days until it turns dary grey, then it is "weathered". I live 20 feet from the sea and EVERYTHING rots, but I've had a piece of steel outside for 5 years which has been treated like this and endured salt spray, rain, hail...NO RUST! PLEASE can you do a vid on how you rolled that edge? I'm scratching my head trying to NOT destroy the panels I buy. Thanks Brother.
Yes Nathan, another quality repair from DTE, you go into so much detail, as said before your channel should be global.

Hey bro… one delay after another my end. I like to have all the bits to complete a job/video. Nearly there sorry mate.
@@YTDTETV all good can’t wait for the next one, wasn’t moaning just in high spirits for the next video. Can’t wait 😜
Whoops, sorry LUCAS, not Lewis 🫢🫢🫢
No worries bud 👍👍
Bloody VW ALWAYS rot at that point, front wheel arches and under the back of the front wings.
Hey bud sorry for the delay, your so right that’s the 2 main spots front wings and rear sills, strange that because the rest of the motors normally stay good.
@@YTDTETV Just replacing the WHOLE sill on a 2007 Jetta. There is a gap at the bottom transition of the sill. Mud collects there and it rots. I've bought a new sill skin, but I'm fabricating the ends myself. Galv primer, then etch primer, epoxy primer then a coat of "Epoxy 121" from RustBuster. That stuff sets diamond hard, but stays flexible. Do all of that and it will NEVER rot again. One more tip, buy some 36% Hydrochloric Acid and paint it on the "clean metal" BEFORE you start work. WEAR A MASK. If it turns yellow, it is killing intergranular rust (rust which is already IN the metal that you can't see). Rinse, dry, repeat until it doesnt turn yellow anymore, then rinse well, dry and paint with "Zinga". Do NOT paint over the Zinga immediately, spray some water on it and leave it for a few days until it turns dary grey, then it is "weathered". I live 20 feet from the sea and EVERYTHING rots, but I've had a piece of steel outside for 5 years which has been treated like this and endured salt spray, rain, hail...NO RUST!
PLEASE can you do a vid on how you rolled that edge? I'm scratching my head trying to NOT destroy the panels I buy. Thanks Brother.
