Thanks for the feedback man, will try to do but need to get motivation to get through the paint work prep stages 😫 congrats on the 1000 subs!

Yo hooded, thanks man I appreciate it 🙏 definitely getting there, off this weekend so hopefully can get a good start at getting it in primer

I like the fact that you show your dodgy welding. It makes your video's good.So hard learning to weld and then having to do it out of position is not easy. We have all been there. Do you use 0.6 wire and cut the tip of it when it balls up so not so much heat is imparted to metal? I have used 0.6 and 0.8 on sheet metal and the difference with 0.6 is amazing. Improved my welds no end.

@@garethmillar6685 Hi Gareth, the point of this channel is to be honest and realistic coming from a beginner point of view. I have always used 0.8 as advised from a friend of mine who is a full time metal worker, not really sure why think it is more so that it can tackle thicker when needed. I cut the wire if it is sitting a while because of contamination reasons not so much for heat dissipation. Might have to give 0.6 a go next time around then!

@WeeJinterz Try it, you will be amazed. O.6 lets you away with so much. Quick fast hot weld with good penetration. I felt like I could hold the torch on forever without blowing holes the first time I tried. My son, who welded professionally on heavy stuff, also thinks so. I am also in the beginners' class like yourself. 0.8 good all round but 0.6 the dogs cohonnas for what we are doing. Could be a good utube vid for you to do?

@@garethmillar6685 definitely could be gareth tbf, I have recently been speaking with a fella from back home that restores classics full time and asked him and he said 0.6 and nothing else 😅🤣 I'll give it a go! Maybe I will do the front pass sill after all!

oh yeah definitely it does, and its legal because no sharp edges. Definitely could have paid more attention to the masking but can still cut and polish

That's the goal to be a realistic amateur channel 😅🤣 and show the good and the bad

Primarks finest PPE 👌

Thanks man appreciate the comment 🙏 it's an uphill battle for sure!

I did I really did 🤣🤣 appreciated 👌

Hey thanks for your support btw ❤

@@WeeJinterz yessirrrr 🫡

Hey awesome man I really appreciate 🙏 slowly getting somewhere but it's hard coming from a desk background 🤣

Hey thanks Philip! I'm starting to learn that the rust is the easier part compared to paint! Aha will have a couple of videos up this week if you fancy learning from my mistakes, I'll always do my best to be as transparent as possible!

Hey thanks for checking out the more recent videos, I appreciate it! I think this is the last video before I have the action cam for pov shots as well 🎉

Not sure what drill bit you are using for the spot welds but you can get a specific one that might make life a little easier, maybe also a couple of welding magnets to help hold parts in place and give a bit more space in place of the clamps. That’s some proper mansplaining from someone who hasn’t tried it….. 😂

​@@bernardtrainor7077I have magnets 🧲 but I find that they are good for larger pieces with more surface area, they are such a pain because they get covered with swarth 😂 yes I'm using spotweld bits as well 😅 both types actually the circular cutter bit and the ground stub drill bit for marking it just is that much of a pain lol thanks for watching Bernard I'm glad you are enjoying my struggles 😂

In an ideal world, still need to spray on my MOT in a can lad ahahaha

We are getting somewhere eventually 🤣 it gets worse btw!

Quite the opposite ahahahaha

I'd rather have a bigger place and a two post lift first 🤣🤣🤣

absolutely Oran, Its actually hilarious how much of a headturner she is ahaha

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Alright lad! Really appreciate your comment and the kind words. Yes mate I'll do my best to keep uploading and try to do it more regularly. I love the shape of the mx6s proper rare car now though 👌v6 from the would be cool in an mx5

A wee minter jinterz. Health to drive! That's a long boat journey back if you came home on the ferry. You never seem to get by the Isle of Man. I bought one of my imps home that way on the day ferry. The micra has 8bhp more than the imp. You have a flying machine! Get the Mazda videos edited and online. Whatever you do with the micra is grand.

Don't think i'll be home for a while! I would love to see a hilman imp really cool and unique wee cars, I wonder what would weigh less aha I would say the micra is probably down 10 or so bhp lol, I will get on the mazda videos, thank you for your comment it really means a lot.

New video is up on mx5 bro I'll have another one up by next Friday!

Hi Gareth, Just letting you know I have two more videos up on the Mazda since the Micra video,, cheers!

£150! Absolutely minty as well. Chasing another one 20db quieter thats 150l for £120, if I get it I'll do a video on swapping the pressure switch. If I keep this I'll do an enclosure with pc fans for airflow and sound deadening

I'll start recording again then 🤣👌

First video is up on dealing with that side, sorry for the delay

Plenty of filler hai 🤣🤣

Hi Peter, thanks for the advice I'll definitely give it a go when I'm back on the car.

Thank you man! 😊

Hey man thanks for the advice will definitely take note, sometimes as working by myself it can be a right pain to set up time lapses and try and get more dynamic shots but you're right I need to try and cut down on the talking head shots and get more action shots. Thanks for the kind words and support 🙏

Hi Michael, I have been trying to incorporate more action shots recently and less talking head after your advice, I've put up a couple videos recently allbeit more mx5 welding then anything else, but take a look!

Will do Bernard! That and some rap encapsulator aerosol with a big long nozzle as well before cavity wax

Thank you man appreciated! Been sanding last couple of days 3 hours a day! Ill try and get a video up in next day or 2 on the arch fitting!

Is 20/20 not perfect sight? Wish I had that lad 🤣🤣 50/50 means sometimes good sometimes bad 🤣🤣

@@WeeJinterz 20/20 because you looking back on the situation with perfect sight mate 😂

@@mattmccann2359 yeah that makes perfect sense in hindsight 🤣🤣

Thanks! Appreciate you following along Bernard. Got myself a proper audio setup yesterday so hopefully that will get better! I'm actually just welding the inner arch to the outer ATM then we'll be on to prepping for paint 🎉

@@WeeJinterz next stage where it’s more finished and visible will be good. Keep it up!

Ah we'll see! Should have the video on the sill uploaded tomorrow hopefully, just got the arche in today so need to figure out what cuts are needed for overfenders!

Mate no it just failed honestly, fronts were not even an advisory

My daughter bought a MX5 that had been sitting for a while so the brakes where done. When I took the wheel off one side fell out…. Other wasn’t far behind. All good now thankfully and they even got painted. Nice job on the Leon.

@@bernardtrainor7077 thanks Bernard, it was a nice change of pace from the cutting and welding that has been consuming my life recently 🤣 its a bit terrifying how they can just fall apart like that isn't it, guess another reason why miles are good got a car 🤣

Hey Kasey, appreciate your comment. I have a cheap air hammer with a scaler attachment but it's stuck on! Any advice? I finger sanded with 36grit to bare metal with the milwaukee and checked the underneath to bare metal. Gave it the old go ahead and covered with rust converter and sprayed with zinc phosphate based aerosol. I would love to get my scaler working properly I'll definitely need it in the future. Hoping to get some 2k epoxy as well to brush on the insides soon. Really appreciate the comment man, thanks for watching.

@@WeeJinterz if your air hammers is air and not battery ( witch duh, it’s an air hammer) get oil. YOU MUST USE OIL WITH EVERY USE!. I don’t know how dry it is in side your gun. It may be cheaper to buy another one from harbor freight, which being from Ireland you most probably don’t have one. So try the oil first

@@WeeJinterz if the rust is to thick that stuff won’t matter

@@kaseyvaughn5963 I overestimated it, went back to bare metal pretty easy with 36grit on a belt sander

@@WeeJinterz oh inside that lil area where you couldn’t get? Good for you

Honestly just winging it everytime, maybe once I get enough interesting stuff I can make a real intro! Appreciate the comment man!

I think so too!

Whats wrong with it!

😅😅

Thanks 🙏🙏
