The reason people paint it on is because it will rot your whole car out in 2 years. So enjoy the car you spent ages on for a limited period. 🇬🇧👁 you are sealing rust into it.
Euro Kevin I’m an Englishman that has owned Golfs (rabbit) for years, VR6’s and 8valve and 16valves, I love the patina look and totally appreciate your flow, I hope you’ve got a trick up your sleeve to stop that rust in its tracks, because it’s a shame when the looks overlook function, you can have both. I’m watching with interest. And yes, I was a little triggered, strange how we try and defend cars and objects isn’t it, we are indeed a complex race! 😎👍🏻🇬🇧👁
Is it possible to undo this down the road? I'd worry about the rust spreading to the point where its eating through... Not my personal taste, but i do really love this build
Tyler Rogers yea he’s right once it’s sealed it will stop rusting and if I just took a grinder back to it it would go back to bare metal it’s only surface rust
I just don't get it, all that hard work on the arches that look awesome. It's like you smoked a spliff after the arches and thought f#@k it cant be arsed.
Alan Whitehurst 🤣 lol well I don’t talk about it much but this was my dads last project before he passed and one thing we bonded over was rusty he’s so it’s a tribute to him thanks for watching though 🤘🏻
If you’re replacing the glass anyway, like you mentioned in your response to @Rustyparrot, you should make a one piece back door glass for it. I think it would make the back look more sleek, and be confusing to people. You could also loose the rear window regulators if you’re not using any of that anymore, and just make it a solid rear glass.
I was going to suggest plexi glass, but I didn’t know if you wanted to go that route or not. I really like the “riveted” plexi look myself, but either way it’s going to have some people scratching their heads at first.
Here in Brasil the air is so humidity, then it's naturally become patina over time. Nice job works perfectly, but, i prefere that colour without rust!!!
I've watched multiple videos on creating your own patina, and this by far is the best one. Great job! Thanks for posting it!
It’s looking ridiculously cool Kevin! I love watching the progress.
Trayia Beals thank you I miss you guys Jax was just talking about Finn today
looks great... you need to preserve that in a good 2k clear... where are you located?

I find the patina from my car sitting on the driveway every day! soon you'll call me Fred Flintstone when my feet go thru the floor boards.
xr500t 🤣🤣🤣
I used water based polyurethane. I wiped it on with a rag. I also added brown and black craft paint. to darken up my finish.
Mark Sweeney hmmm this Sounds like a good idea do you have any pics on IG or Facebook
m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10217560359979892&id=1204253407
This was inspired after a little fender bender
Mark Sweeney I think it looks awesome
Just discovered you, obsessed with this build
I plan on doing this to my mk4 gti, shell is already a little crusty, and I've always wanted to do it! Thanks for the insight and wish me luck bro!
Peter Taylor awesome if you have any questions hit me up on Instagram
What did u use for grinding down to bare metal
Junior Kirk a flap disk
Thank you what grit
Junior Kirk not sure it was a random one laying in the garage but it doesn’t matter too mich
2k clear should work perfectly, really durable
Duane Bowers yea I’m not into the idea of gloss on rust though maybe matte clear or some sort of oil
Is it possible to undo this down the road? I'd worry about the rust spreading to the point where its eating through...
Not my personal taste, but i do really love this build
Yeah specially since he sealed it to stop it from spreading
Tyler Rogers yea he’s right once it’s sealed it will stop rusting and if I just took a grinder back to it it would go back to bare metal it’s only surface rust
lol yeah, commented before finishing the vid like a fool
keep it up man, love your channel
Tyler Rogers no worries it’s a valid question thanks for watching 🙏🏻
You should tape your glass up with paper or something so you don’t get grinding splatter in your glass
Rusty Parrott most of it needs replaced
Хорошо получается)
Looks dope. You can seal it with Penetrol.
Linseed oil works but you’ll have to refresh with oil every few months. Or just flat clear coat
Noah McKinney That actually might be the method I go with I also found this spray clear coat meant for patina I’m try that as well
Noah McKinney thanks for watching
Looking good bro!
Ag Vdubs thank you 🙏🏻
Sweet
Sons Rc 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
nice :D and hi from germany
Deno 1310 👋 thank you for watching
great work man. I think the MCM guys did something similar a few years ago. Might give you an idea on how to seal it?
Ronan Gallagher you know what I remember that video were they poured beer on the mk3 I will have to re watch it
@@eurokevin Im pretty sure they clear coated it (could be wrong though mate)
@@eurokevin they used urine also haha
I use white vinegar to remove rust on tools that are old and neglected
matdowdall nice I use vinegar to make my car look old and neglected 🤣🤣

Robert Febur that’s 100% what I’m going to do I’m just gonna use plexi glass your the first person to catch onto that 🤘🏻❤️ thanks for watching

Robert Febur exactly what I’m going for im actually gonna do a riveted Windshield as well for weight and cuz it’s 400 for a new windshield 🤣🤣
Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see this thing done. The interior is going to be a fun one to watch.
Robert Febur interiors gonna be a hard one to learn lol but I’ve got some ideas thanks again for the support 🤘🏻🤘🏻
