God bless Australia for not having snow and salt.
I love seeing people restoring mr2s!!! Keep it up man!!!
This sort of work brings back so many memories of my busiest garage days, it always ends up being much worse than expected.
Forming of the sill shape was awesome, a big help
the inner inner sill is made from some seriosuly thick steel its the outer sill and jacking point reinforcements that are a bit....thin
Looks familiar 😄 I did one rallycross mr2 shell, and it was imported from germany to Finland, so it had never had any protective wax inside sills/chassis legs. It took almost year to "restrore" it, before actual modification was possible 😄
Fair play for taking it on getting it sorted!
Nice work on the sill repairs 👍
Also get the guard on the grinder!
Cheers jim. Haven’t forgotten your shout out. It will be in the fuel tank episode. This one was ahead of schedule 😎. Keep up the good work mate 👍🏻.
@@Resto.Nation thanks! I just appreciated your help, just dont go chopping your fingers off!
😂😂 might have to invest in one. No worries 👍🏻
Just been researching rust repair, found your chanel! I'm going to invest in a mig welder and gas, looks like it is well worth it, instead of a bodyshop throwing a load of filler on it and sending it back out
Take your time and cut off small bits at a time. practice your welding off the job and get comfortable with it before you weld the car.
Who says there is no cure for cance👊
Haha i just bought a 1989 white tbar as a project car 3 weeks ago
Perfect! Good luck with it.
@@Resto.Nation im gonna be watching ur vids as its my second project car and im already learning a lot from just the 4 you have now
Cheers mate. Fuel pump will be bench tested and new tank will be fitted tomorrow so should have another video by weds all going well...
@@Resto.Nation awesome cant wait
Thanks for sharing your videos. I found them very useful and informative to watch. I am currently working on my project mk1 MR2. Looking to repair rusty sills (so much fun).
Could you please advise what thickness sheet metal you have used? Do you know what the thickness of the cars original sills?
Thanks
Ayman Elkady thanks mate. Glad they were helpful. Haha so much fun indeed 😂. Umm from memory I would say 1.2mm? I would cut away until you get to solid metal and then use that to measure from to make sure it’s right. Good luck, any questions along the way just fire a comment over 👍🏻
