Cool to see a craftsman doing the stuff I do as a hobby and hear some thoughts about why you do it that way. I like your content and find it both entertaining and I learn some stuff. Keep doing what you do 😊👍
Good job. I have to repair a rear hatch on my 2003 MK4 jetta wagon, its mess but you can not buy a rear hatch for these cars anymore or I would buy a new one if I could , cant get used ones that are any good either. I did get the glass out without breaking it with some 100 lb test fishing line/leader. Worked pretty good with a few hiccups , found that by sea sawing the line back and forth and pressure it cut like "hard" butter lol.
Very nice job! Even though it's a mustang with tape on stuff LOL JK it is a nice looking car. And again nice job you did. You make it look simple and no big deal, but for anyone with any sense of what it takes you'll know it's not that simple or easy. Proper fixes like that at the early stages will help the car last a LONG time .👍
Another great job! Never seen the old motor oil trick, definitely going to be trying that one day. I wonder if there is a way to emulsify it a bit to make it less viscous so it drips a little less
Nice work! I also own a white Mustang (2014) with bubble rust on the quarter panel - basically a few inches from that door corner, just on the other side of the gap. I asked a local body shop for a quote, they send me home saying I am better off drive and let it rot, because it would be too expensive to repair. It rusted from inside, cause the bubble showed up under the paint that was otherwise intact. However, I hate the idea of letting it decay (I like to care for my cars till the end of their life). Which $ ballpark are we talking about for a fix like this one? Mine would also require to cut out a big portion of panel and re-weld, but it should be a flat panel...
Always hard to say without seeing, but If I remember correctly this one was around 1500, unfortunately these days they’re not really body shops anymore, they’re all only set up for collision repair
When that car rust away the door will be the only thing left, Nice repair Jon
Now that's great craftsmanship .... Hard to find people that only specializes in that type of repairs...

I'd be very satisfied with that repair !
Thanks 👊🏼
It's almost like it was never rusted to begin with lol
Nice video, cool trick clamping and welding the new piece over the old,then removing the old piece
Thank you 👍🏼
"Cut & butt" is what it's called😊

The undercoating gun does a aerate it, but it can certainly make a mess. I find after a couple washes you don’t see it coming out anymore though
@@Johnnymidnight Couple of washes is definitely easier than rust
Keep it up… 2 in uni can be spends
Nice work!

Looks like it never had any rusting
