@@keithm6117 I can’t understand why people jump to simple off the shelf products in your local Halfords. I agree this is far superior and fit for purpose. And it doesn’t cost much more! By the way kudos on the 71 Transit, I would love to have an older shape original Transit. You just don’t see them anymore.

Hi Simon. You’re welcome. I would say Definitely S50 over Electrox as the latter would be better on a restored surface which is completely free of corrosion. S50 will cover existing rust (converted of course as would be better in the long run) and heal itself if compromised. Also you’ll get some cavity protection with S50. Also Bilt Hamber do a rust converter which i’ve used and it’s pretty much the same as Kurust 🤙

Honestly i reckon 1 tin will do it BUT i would buy 2 just to make sure. You can do inside your doors, your boot and bonnet aswell but be careful with the stuff dripping out. I did my doors and i left them open overnight in the garage

Thank you so much Trev really appreciate it!

If there is rust already there, i would always advise grind back, rust convert, re-paint and then treat. BUT i’m a realist, if you’re just trying to prevent further rust but don’t want to do a full restoration/repair then yes rust convert first. I’d at least spray some primer over the affected area first though maybe?

Spot on still a good thick coat. Haven’t used car in wet much so i’m guessing this helps. Really happy with it

Thanks man 🤙

Yes if you can but i’ve seen it last longer so could go every 2 years. Depends on how often you use the vehicle.

Would you use the same stuff for all the arches aswell, clean all the dirt of ect and apply? Thanks for the advice you gave yourself a new subscriber

@@blade8768 thanks bud really appreciate it. Yeh i’ve just re-applied on my other car and i cleaned all the old coating (and dirt) off and started again. I did all the tubs and even the shockers/springs aswell (can’t hurt to coat everything to be fair)

@@carrevival8200 how did you go about cleaning the old coating that was applied off? Is it a messy job or does it comes off ok

@@blade8768 no not that messy mate. Just used some old (clean) rags and brake cleaner or degreaser. Comes off really easy. Wipe it all off and make sure everything is clean and re-apply. Really easy mate.

Yes Dintrol ML with a long straw spray attachment. At the end of the straw is a nozzle which sprays 360•

Thanks Barry. Yes i had to have this colour as it’s the colour i first saw a GTE in when i was a lad and it stuck with me. Hope the Saloon restoration is going well i’m sure it will be a lovely car when done as they don’t make them like this anymore. Time warp cars !

Thank you very much Jamil i really appreciate the subscribe and the compliment. Pep

Thank you so much Diarmaid. Yes it was a journey but so worth it! Honestly didn’t think i’d see it through to the end but glad i did

Hi Simon. Can i just say thank you for giving advice without being offensive. It’s nice to see people giving their experience in a constructive and approachable manner rather than just dishing out abusive comments. I’ve been watching Tony’s Refinishing but i have on your recommendation watched quite a few of Brians videos already (particularly on his bumper/plastic paint jobs) He’s really good at explaining everything and somehow makes me feel more confident about taking on the different stages. Absolutely bang on regarding Flex additive. I’m popping in to the paint shop this week and picking some up. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated and respected considering you’ve been where i am now. I’d sooner listen to someone with experience rather than make mistakes because i’m too set in my way. Also thank you for the compliment as well really appreciate it buddy. Pep

Hi pep Yea I like Tony’s refinishing learn a lot there. Like you I enjoy doing salvage cars and the satisfaction you get when it’s completed. We all make mistakes when we are learning and we learn from the mistakes we make and how to fix them . I’m sure you will grow more confident and challenge your self into more difficult repairs. You have a great work space and you will collect the tools you need to do the job as you go along. 👍

Thanks Mark i genuinely appreciate the criticism as i have noticed this myself and need to action it. Apologies for this. I can only put it down to the fact i’m really nervous. I will make sure to take notice of this in future videos as you’re absolutely right. My Mum watched this video and said exactly the same as you!

@@carrevival8200 you do not need to apologise confidence will come from experience. good luck with your channel and regards to your mum!

Thank you Alan i really appreciate the subscribe and compliment thank you.

@@carrevival8200 that’s a cracking fiesta you’ve turned out ( gold )

I honestly couldn’t tell but the car still didn’t seem to sit right after replacing it so i changed the hub carrier and hub as well to avoid any risk. Could be that it wasn’t damaged but i left it on anyway just in case the original was slightly damaged.

cant have done if hes sold it and made £1600 profit

@@dave280585 Paid way too much for it when I get home from Copart for £1000

@@JasonSmith-oc8ov your getting mint, mk7.5 autos home for a £1000? ive been doing salvage from all the top salvage companies for 15 years and by the sounds i need to use what depot you use, you might get a pre facelift high mileage manual for that, watched synetiq today and £650 plus feed for a damaged 09 plete with 114k, you cant compare a mint low mileage auto as they arent the same car, he made £1600 profit on it is that not enough? it sold within first week and was the cheapest on ebay by £500

Hi Julian. I bought a genuine colour match wing for the Qashqai (other video) because it was available and the car didn’t need any other paint so was worth paying extra for the wing rather than buying an unpainted one that’s cheaper and painting it. If the car needs paint in other places then i just buy unpainted replacement panels and paint them as i can warrant buying the paint etc if that makes sense. It always works out cheaper to buy new unpainted panels if you have other parts of the car to paint. Also it’s hard to find undamaged panels in the correct colour sometimes.

Thanks buddy. Yeh i worry that anything you cut corners on or try to bodge will have a potential devastating impact on future owner. Not worth the risk. Do it right do it once, do the best job you can is how i was always taught.

Hi Steve. Thank you for the compliment. It’s nice to have someone here with your experience as i have no doubt along the way that i might make the odd mistake and need some advice! Not as easy as it looks this trade but so rewarding to put good cars back on the road to be enjoyed by someone in need of them. Wasn’t sure about the price. I honestly thought it was correct myself at first but because of the way things are at the minute, i’ve had to reduce it. Could partially be down to it’s a limited audience with it being an Auto as well. Thanks for the Subscribe really appreciate it. Will keep the content coming. Just trying to cherry pick another project atm. Taking my time but pays off to end up with something nice that will sell easier than a rough one. Thanks again. Pep

Hi Charlie. Thanks buddy, yes I learnt my lesson from the last one and spent ages in the paint shop matching it up. I have also learnt that the colour can change depending on what air pressure you paint at AND how many coats of clear you put on can also affect the colour. My process now is to use spray out cards trying multiple pressures/coats etc to find the best method. I’m a fan of the colour as-well i think it suits the car.

Hi, the bumpers come pre-primed. I spot prime if there’s any rub through but other than that they’re good to go.

Thank you Nai, really appreciate the compliment 🙂 Pep

Hi bud. Thanks very much for the compliments, massively appreciated! Will stick to the formula and keep them coming as quickly as possible. Thanks again. Pep

Hi Lawrence, thank you for the compliment 😊 Primer - Devilbiss FLG5 Base - Sagola 3300GTO Clear - Devilbiss Prolite with T110 (1.3) I am not sold on the Sagola so will be swapping it out for a Devilbiss DV1 fairly soon Hope this helps buddy. Pep

Thanks for the tip mate. I need to write a list and invest in more tools i’ll add that to it. I’m using a lot of Halfords Advance and Clarke atm but contemplating signing up with Snap On as that’s what my mate uses. Night and day compared to the tools i’m using!

Yes buddy. Lincolnshire not far from Lincoln 👍

Hi Zac. Thanks so much for the compliments buddy really appreciate it 😊 I’ve been using IAA so far but i’m currently trying to expand my reach into Copart so i have more options when sourcing another one.

Thank you very much. Really appreciate the nice comment. I’m currently sourcing my next project and will upload asap and keep to the current formula.

Thanks mate 😊

Thanks so much Sean really appreciate the comment. I’ll do my very best to keep the content coming.
