Rust repairs using simple tools on my Austin

- More rust repairs on my Austin, all repairs were made in my garage from 1.2mm steel sheet. Grinder and snips were used to cut the steel. Cardboard templates made as a pattern for the repairs. I could buy the repair panels but it is more fun making them.
Looking good Lee!!
Let local garage loose on my van and now a shame to drive around in it in case somebody thinks it's my welding.... :(
Sadly instead of making panels that fit or even buying the panels which would have been cheaper they just welded flat strips of metal on top when I say welded I mean some pigeons were cooing nearby....
Right next to the patches are two big holes as well... But apparently that passes the MoT...
I realised I should have done it myself now.
But I just thought it would be quicker if they did it... It took them 10 minutes apparently...
But it took 6 hours to polish the headlights....
To be honest before I took on this retirement project I watched loads of CZcams videos. Yorkshire car restores and Fitzees fabricator they are both fantastic to watch but have different ways to repair, however they both gave me confidence to have a go myself. Both always end up cutting the rust out, and show the issues when someone welds a plate over the rust. It does seen quicker to at least try to do the repair properly. Thanks so much for youe comments...All the best ..Lee
@@PastimeClassicCarRestorer that's great to hear Lee!
No problems it's always best to repair it by cutting the rust out!
I have just started the back corner, the rear of the chassis fell out with a small tap with a screwdriver...............video will come out shortly......................lee
Doing a cracking job, you need gloves tho👍
