- In this video we are going to repair rusted through rocker panels on this 2001 Honda Civic Hatchback (EP1) with 1.4l 66hp engine. This is quick repair that hides big rust holes by welding new metal pieces and adding automotive body filler on top. Its important to add cavity wax in inside of rocker panels to prevent corrosion from coming back quickly.

Glad you actually did the repair the proper way and not just hid all the damage under body filler like some people do. Good work
I did a repair something like this back in the early eighties on an old Monte Carlo, the repair lasted eleven years, and then I sold it. Great job!
The end result is excellent!
Everyone has their own style, and different levels of training.
If you want to complain then post a link to your video on how to do it better.
Well said!
👍
Revolting lil humans love to knock others to prop their ego.
Nice work! There’s always that guy that criticizes everything, if you don’t try you don’t learn . And welding is not something you learn from one day to another. Same with bondo and sending it . Awesome job bro
Professional body men love watching and critiquing home videos.
So true!
Yes, shocking. People love to give constructive critisism so that the video maker and others can learn and improve. How rude...
We're all here to learn and improve. Good video nonetheless!
For those who don’t understand why he did the tape the way he did for the paint coats, that’s for feathering and stuff for the actual color. It helps blend it to the original, 👍🏻
As first timer and quick repair on an old 22year old banger with 1.4 engine &66hp . it does the job and looks good in my screen so thumbs-up 👍 and well done 👏 ✔ 👍 another few years and it will be scraped or for parts so the job should last till then 👌👍👏💯✌❤☘

Nice job. It’s tough to weld thin rotted metal. With an older car this isn’t a job that will last for years. He has taken care of the gaping rust hole which was the problem. But it is a repair that will last several years with slight surface rusting through the paint. You just have to keep touching up the light surface rust.
amazing that it can still be jacked up :D
He will have to weld that aswell
It was already jacked up before he started.
Good enough!!! 👍 No need to be a perfect job but more than good enough to be around people and neighbors where you don’t have to be embarrassed. Thnx for sharing 😊
Nice job! Probably would have seam sealed the larger panel inside before welding smaller patch to prevent rust
Thank you for sharing looks better than it did before great job for a DIY 🏆
Excellent ❤
When I had rust holes on my vehicle in 2010. I first sand it with a sand paper until I saw silver mental on the edge of the hole, than I used rust protection spray, than I filled the hole with a wire mesh, and I applied fiber polyester on top of the wire mesh, than I sand it down with sand paper, than a applied primer paint and than finally painted it. It was my weekend hobby which only costed me about $50 from Walmart and safety gloves, mask and glasses from the dollar store. The final presentation was okay on my job, but this man job is excellent, love it ❤, thank you sir.
Always good to primer before body filler. Moisture can seep behind bodyfiller I’ve seen large patches of rust form under body filler
You can primer before body filler?! What
primer is porous, won't stop moisture
You have to apply a special primer before you cab apply body filler. Body filler is really only supposed to be used over glass, or bare metal. Fiberglass is water proof, and is stronger than standard body filler.
Filler can go over etch primer - not normal primer
I remember jacking up a vehicle like this. The car stayed where it was, and I saw the back seat getting higher and higher. I was told it only needed a small patch welding on the outer sill 🤣
Lol
You jacked it up from the floor not the pinch welds
@@JohnnyBravo02 Nope! Jacked up on the rear Radius arm mounting point. Give us some credit to our knowledge!!😂 It shouldn't have been on the road. It was slightly more extensive than the owner realised. They only see the rusty patch on the outside. It had rotted internally along the whole inner sill rail to the rear wheel housing. It had been covered in years and years of bitumen underseal to stop the water getting in and soaking the carpet! They didn't realise, at the same time, it stopped water and condensation from getting back out. The car was condemned. It was badged as a Triumph Acclaim in the UK ( Honda Ballade elsewhere )
@@harvymckiernan93 I mind o them rusted from inside out lol ok one year and death trap the next engine's was good tho lol
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌️
😂
It was a pleasure to watch the progress of this work Thank you
That's a lot of work you put in. Looks great.
Great job -- great skill, and looks fantastic.
This guy did a fantastic job on it!!!!😊
I am not a pro welder and i dont have a exclusive car.but i do have a old car that i want to fix up.thanks for sharing your way.👍
Me: " Too bad I cant weld. So I cant do this.'
7:15 "Oh hey! neither can he! alright! I guess I can do this!"
lol
Everyone starts somewhere. We see you start with your mouth blow hard expert
Very satisfying to watch thank you so much excellent job God bless
Great job as always Jason ! Those panels look great 👍
No .. very bed ..
Excellent job. Highly skilled and professional work.
I love that youtuber's think it was a professional job
Great job and perfectly explained 👏👏👏
Anyone who shows their welds on youtube is a braver person than I lol
I have to do this on my Civic, exact same place, tanks for the tips, just need to learn how to weld now..
A friend of mine told me the guys use to put diff oil in the sills to protect from future rust; great idea
I always use a cheese grater file, when the body filler is the consistency of rubber. This reduces how much sanding down of the filler I have to do. Once the filler hardens. I always machine sand, then block sand the area to eliminate any machine marks.
My mother and Grandmother did this to our mini van.
Wow. That's really impressive.
That’s incredible! You do EXCELLENT work! I have 2007 Ford E250 with rust like that and my body guy said he can’t fix it.
Change a guy😁😁😁
Wow nice job man ! realy cool video !
Amazing job, no way I could pull this off.
Finger Bondo spread in wheelhouse shows experience and the easiest method... good job..POR 15 is amazing on rust prevention.
There's a UA-cam video called friends shouldn't let friends use por 15. Its actually not that good of a product.
great work! nothing will ever beat hand skills. amazing result sir!
This is just one of the many reasons I would never live “up north”
A lot of work, but the result is amazing ! 👍👍👍
Very Nice work!
Proud fan am I you did a very good job buddy thumbs up,you will always have criticism,take it positively and do even better,don't be discouraged.
Absolutely brilliant
You did a good job! 🔥👍🏾
Nice work. Cheers!
Good perfection and patience
To me it's a really good job, congrats!
That's amazing work
Excellent video. Slow and steady is what is needed. I could have done without the music, but I am an old man.
I liked it actually
"we are going to do a quick repair job"
Ends up doing a a better job than my local auto body shops.
Your local body shops must be rough as a bears ass then!
As a lifelong bodyman I have to say that at best that process might serve as a temporary fix for a home shop to get your car through one or two state inspections , but is not a quality repair. the life for that car is very short so i would not advise putting much money in it .
actually i replaced my whole body with cardboard and bondo and its been just fine soooo
Have to say your wrong. Honda civic is one of the longest lasting cars on the planet. Much better than anything made in America
I can attest. I have a 2010 manual Honda Civic. That car is a beast. Im gonna drive it until it finally dies. Im sure it has a few more years left on it and yeah I have done many repairs and maintenance on it.
@@volcom05345 2010 is new civic lol i still drive 5th gen 1993 sedan lol
The quality of workmanship matches the age and the condition of the car.
Great work! I don’t have many tools but you showed me that I do not need a whole work shop to accomplish this!
Great job
Good job bro. I’ll do this to my ford f150
Amazing work
I like every video from zero to hero
Beautiful!
I would like to learn this kind of work/job...Nice work!
I have this exact spot of rust on my 2002 Civic hatch, the video makes it look so easy😭
Awesome job young man
The last hole, I would have welded that, not Bondo,. Way better than having a rust hole. Thanks for your approach.
It was a slap job. Slap it together, who cares how long it lasts.
Why didn’t you grind the welds smooth? Why so much body filler?
Nice job!
Very good work
Super perfect and great job A A A +
Good stuff, very satisfying to watch. Inspirational even. Have moat of the stuff in the garage to attempt this on the old 89 k1500 that could use a lil cab corner rocker attention 😅
I could have shit out of my ass a brand new car the time it took u to do this
Awesome job!
On my Chevy van big rust on lower under doors I got some ABS black plastic 6 in and ran it through a table saw cut it in half. Two pieces the length from tire to tire. Drilled out resessed holes in top and Screwed in self tappers.. Black Caulk the top. Underneath I bent 5 bolts connected to anything. It's ugly Rusty mess but it worked and it will never rust there again.
Oh I forgot I used old engine oil in a spray bottle mixed with some paint thinner and sprayed all the underneath before I started.
For other projects, If you want free metal just find a commercial metal shop dumpster. If you get lucky you'll find the primed and painted with the plastic film overlay.
Excellent job
Amazing bro
Ditch the Dremel, get a Katsu 3" mini grinder. Awesome bit of kit.
This whole process reminds me of my 1st "truck", a 1962 Ford Falcon Ranchero. Or the "Rusty Bean Ranchero" as everyone called her. Yes, if i moved the carpet square i could see the road and the rear wheel wells, on the outside body panels, were rusted out. I always wanted to restore here but my dad nixed it. Want to find another one and restore it. With one "minor" modification. Drop a 302 BOSS in it rather than the 289 it came with. 😂😂😂
So when they said rust modifier, does that just mean Naval Jelly?
Very nice work!
Good work for 3 months. The rust will be waiting for the ouner under putty. 😢 Large problem for the cars from winter territory.
DAN i hear you and ditto to that . I use a marine grade filler , totally water proof and a lot stronger . Now i dont use it everywhere but in areas like that it is sometimes a blessing although harder to sand out . I have once had to repair a front fender and used 304 stainless for the lip , then blended with marine grade bondo on my old dodge truck . That was a 91 Dakota . That SS is still there , 400,000 plus . Canadian salt on the roads .
@@klausjensen9150 If I good understand you used marine grade filler with epoxy ?
I often put epoxy on the rust and then only paint or putty.
Thanks for info ;)
Really I wouldn't of never have guessed it hmmm 🤔🤔😅
Good way to fix and flip real quick
Remind me to never buy a car from you
Wow! You make it look easy, but way beyond my pay grade.
Take time to bolster up your knowledge and your skill level yo dude what 😮
Very and very satisfied this hard work is very awesome ❤
Excellent thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
You forgot to grind the welds smooth before you started putting the bondo!
Very satisfying
Muy buen trabajo
Excellent.thank you
Perfect!
Great repair man!
U Srbiji to limari neće da rade jel su monteri a ne limari. Svaka čast za video.
Welds look like mine 😅 I like that 🤝 I would grind the welds more down und apply 2 light coast of Epoxy 2K Primer before the sealant. After the 2k Epoxy it's protected from the outside.
Never paint on bare metal !
He makes it look easy it's not this is a very skilled individual also I wonder how many people have all these tools that he uses for a repair job like this you did a good job but this wasn't his first rodeo he probably works in the body shop and does this routinely or he works on his own side but he's very skilled and he knows what he's doing the average shade tree would have a very tough time pulling this off and specially going out and buying thousands and thousands of dollars worth of these tools it's almost probably cheaper to take it to a body shop then to buy these tools for a one-time fix but I do give him credit he's an expert in his field of body repair very few people have this kind of capability😊
Good job well finish
Nice! 👌🏼
Great job thanks
A perfect work 👍
Nice job 👍
Perfect job.
Excelente, así está mi Renault9 muchas gracias
Some bad chad going on there ...nice job
EXCELENTE TRABAJO BENDICIONES DESDE VENEZUELA
Μπράβο ρε μάγκα πολύ καλός
Good job
I think it came out great!
Well job!👍
Idealny przyklład jak Nie powinno się robić..
Rok dwa wytrzyma . To i tak lepsze rozwiązanie niż pianka w progi i inne patenty.
żeby tylko blacharze robili lepiej, to by było idealnie
To samo widzę....chujnia na rok
Good stuff 👍
Great job 😊👍
