In this episode of the MX5 Rust Repair Challenge, we tackle replacing the driver side sill! We'll disassemble the area, clean things up, and prep the metal for welding. You'll see how I battled cutting and hammering to perfectly fit the new aftermarket sill for some strong, decent-looking welds (we'll learn together!).
If you're just starting your welding journey like I was 8 months ago, this video will give you valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of DIY car repair.
Thinking about tackling your own rust repair? Watch this series to see the entire process and decide if it's right for you!
Comment as well if you have any questions or queries about challenges and difficulties that I faced.

Keep up the great work! Its coming along really well
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!
