I always use the 'Murphy's Law' factor to all of my automotive endeavors. 'Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong' and old Murph showed up in today's episode. At least you caught it and are going to deal with it. If for some reason you ever decide to part with this car you have full documentation of all the work and corrective repairs that were done. Brilliant stuff...keep up the great work man!
Oh absolutely lol. Just sucks to find this, but... ill fix it all up and push on!! Your right, be pretty hard to be this much documentation hahaha. Thanks as always for the positive comments!! Appreciate your support as always!! Cheers
Damn, that is a "find" you would never wanna be found... But onwards and upwards.... Not gonna lie, it has made the build even more interesting...
You are very right!! Thanks so much, Appreciate the encouragement!! Cheers
No biggie you can get that rocker fixed! Keep it up !
Thank you, appreciate the encouragement! And yes, will keep moving forward! Thanks so much!!
Nice to see an old Record Vice in use there man 👌 bought myself an old Record 74 AutoVice, dated from 1929-1949 😎 always bondo somewhere on a 30+ year old veedub.. found on both my mk2s, one in plain sight, other on on a rust free arch 🤷♂️
The new intro is nice! got sauce!
Hahaha Sauce! Love it!! Cheers! Appreciate it
Nice work, these cars sure have there hidden secrets! Keep it up
Thank you! Ya this secret was an unfortunate one for sure, but I’ll get it sorted! Thanks for watching! Cheers!!
You're an inspiration brother... fortunately my mk1 had no rust before paint. Keep pushing along!!
Thank you! Thank you! 🙏 I wish! No rust in these parts is hard to find! Thanks for watching, much appreciated as always!! Cheers!
I'm from Chicago...so rust is definitely a real thing. My mk1 came from Indianapolis IN. But I was really lucky.
Ya lucky man for sure!! I lucked out too with my white one, but hard to come by for sure! One of these days im going to open a "Viewers Rides" section on my website.. I would love to see everyones rides, yours included! www.mysterygarageshop.com
I'd absolutely show her off brother... hopefully I'll see when you open the rides section.
Make sure u use some cavity wax behind them welds, in places u can’t hit with paint. 👍🏼
Never mind u por15ed it lol
Oooo cavity wax? Tell me more!!
Must of took a fair whack on that side to damage the inners like that, but that new "rocker" or sill as I would call it in N Ireland should sort it, like your homemade jacking beams might do that myself👍
Ya agreed, fair wack for sure! Yes! They are so handy. Thanks for the comments as always! Cheers!!
Nice work! What type of sheet metal are you using for patches?
I use 2 different types depending on the job. For smaller area and ones I can access the reverse side I use an expensive coated metal product that I buy packaged. The coating works to prevent oxidization in the future especially if I cant coat or access the reverse side. But for larger and accessible areas I use just plain Sheetmetal from a metal supermarket, much cheaper and easy to source. And since i can coat it myself, does the trick perfectly!! Thanks so much for watching, always appreciate the comments!!
Going back through and watching this project from the start. I just got to this episode today and I shed tears when I saw what was hiding under all of that filler. 😢😢😢
Hahaha thank you very much, i apologize for the much earlier content lol you hopefully can see quality improve as you progress. The amount of work I've put in over the last 10 or so months is fun to look back at... Continually learning and trying to improve the content but i appreciate the support very much, thank you!! And YES that was a very tough day!
@@MysteryGarage The content is getting better and better with every episode! And I LOVE the newest intro, super-cool!
Keep it up my friend, you’re motivation has me motivated to finish my mk1 gti👍🏻💪🏼.
Need some advice from you, can you contact me at badbreedracing@gmail.com Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Thank you!! Yes get out there and finish it! Good luck with your build and thanks so much for watching!!!
Really nice project !
Thank you! Appreciate that!! Cheers
Great work, I am just about to start looking at my rear arches and found your content invaluable. Thank you for sharing
I would love to do what you are doing to your Mk1 to mine,completely renew everything,too bad its my daily,love your videos and keep it up👍
Hey daily’s need love too!! Little bits at a time, everything adds up! Thanks for the comments and really appreciate the follow! Good luck with your build! Cheers
@@MysteryGarage,True and i always give her some love...thank you and keep it coming and blessings with your channel 👍
Nice job on the repairs and at least you found the big issue now while you are in the body repair stage. An extra day to make it right will be worthwhile. Why is that rear pan section on both sides of the mk1 rust prone? Is there no drain hole for moisture to escape? How would you prevent that on a clean factory car that doesn’t have it yet? Drill a drain hole and spray some rust converter/protector up there maybe like Eastwood frame spray?
Ya exactly! It’s just prone to catching road grime, water from the roads etc, and unless cleaned often will eventually lead to rust. Rust converter and maintaining this area I’m sure will definitely extend life for sure! Appreciate the comments!! Thanks for watching!!
My S-10 build ran into a lot of similar issues. It looked solid as a rock except for the driver's floor (expected, they always rust through) and the rockers had some bubbling. I ended up having to build (from scratch) both inner rockers, and use 2 rockers per side to reconstruct the inner structure. Glad to see you're fixing it right!
Ya sucks lol! So does rust but we'll get it fixed up for sure! Thanks so much for watching! Appreciate the comments too!
👍
Thank you!! Appreciated as always!!
Man too bad that mounting hole was toast. I could use the mounting hole in the back, both sides, to do my 3 point seatbelts in the back.
Considered it, but To be honest, i may not use rear seats in this build, i haven't made up my mind on that one quite yet. But even if i do, rear is lap belts in this one anyways. Always appreciate the comments! Thanks so much for watching!!
Yes they are lap belts in my 81 westmoreland rabbit, but on your rear panels there is a threaded hole for a belt reel, where mine does not have those. On the rear left side you actually have more metal. The piece you cut out with that black "screw" is a seat belt reel mounting point.
oh absolutely, i knew what you meant, ps. 81 westy! Nice!! Love it!!
21 min for this rust ? God.... but thanks for share
Lol there’s more than just rust in this one! Appreciate the watch! Thanks so much!!
Hi, do you weld in braces when you do rust repair on your cars at all? I personally don't think it is necessary if you take off the suspension. Shouldn't be a lot of stress left in the chassis?
What kind of stand are you using to have the car up in the air?
They are steel heavy weight saw horses, then I welded pickup points. If you visit my instagram @mk1build and search way back you can see detailed pictures. Or dm me, I can send them to you. SUPER HANDY, Cheers!!
@@MysteryGarage may have to consider it! It’ll benefit my MK1
Liked the video but didn't like what you found. Glad you are pushing through it.
Thanks man! Ya I’ll get this one sorted, and keep pushing for sure! Appreciate the comments!!
