    The paint thing looks like someone's painted acrylic on 2K. Easy way to check is to get some terps on a rag and see if any paint transfers. 2k shouldn't, acrylic will. I've got some sanded but slightly damaged front doors you can have if you can figure out how to get them from central coast 👍

  • @ericjohnson6802
    @ericjohnson6802 7 місяців тому +2

    another good reason to sand it back to base is the likelihood of a reaction with the new pant causing bubbling later on. Yes, it happened to us, some months later. Argh!

    This channel is what built not bought used to be about before he went stupid on his channel. Great content mate.
    Can I put forth a suggestion, could you perhaps film a bit more of the "boring stuff" and include it in the videos, doesnt need to be crazy long just a 20 or 30 second piece. Maybe just choose a little spot that "needs boring" stuff done to it and film it as an example of what has been done to the rest of car where needed. Your a "content creator" doing a video series on restoring an old beater. I'm sure not many of your viewers would ever restore a car in their life, but enjoy watching the processes and steps taken to achieve such a feat. You find it boring cause u have done it many times, I'm sure the rest of us not so skilled viewers would find it educational. Either way you have hit that sweet spot of putting out a video that's easy to watch and yet at the end leaves us wanting more of it. Personally I look forward to seeing each upload u do.

    I had a GQ with the same sun roof and it also leaked, I ended up putting compressed air up the drains and it had a gum nut blocking the drain, once I blew the drains out it never leaked again.

    • @RoamLyfe
      @RoamLyfe  7 місяців тому +1

      Oh really! I honestly think there’s a rubber missing around this one? Where does the drain come out? Is it at front windscreen?

    • @seanyc89
      @seanyc89 7 місяців тому

      @RoamLyfe. It was 10 plus years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was down around the rear bottom of the front quarters and somewhere around bottom of the pillars between the doors, it was a clear hose, maybe look near chassis rails. When you get it open have a look in the corners for the drains holes. I remember the gum nut popping out clear as day.

      Short of, there is a plastic cover hiding the rail, so pop that off and you will see the nut. I just had a look at my one and there will be three each side. Then you just lift the glass out, i used a plastic wadge to hold it open. It will make it so easy to sand the roof. I wish I figured it out before painting my shorty. Now I have to repaint the roof LOL.

    I am going to be polite, the rust repair you showed on yout channel on the sill and centre pillar, is really far from good. The sill panel is a box panel that runs the length of the side of the car, which is part of tge car structual integrity. You basically cut the rust, you should have cut the lower section of the pillar off to repair the sill properly, this is a 4be, so with body flex etc its not a safe repair. The centre pillar sits on too of the sill panel and welded to it. Not a safe repair. Its good your giving it a go, but at least do it right.

    • @RoamLyfe
      @RoamLyfe  7 місяців тому

      I do get what your saying but I think it’s going to be fine, I’ve seen Gqs at glasshouse with the whole bottom sill rusted out and they still don’t move 😆 not saying it’s good but I can’t see how that little section cut out and welded in is going to effect the car in the long run. It’s a lot better than leaving the rust there and bogging it which 99 percent of people do these days!
      May not be perfect but I’m confident in the repair
