@@abhithakur90 I think they are as it’s a unibody with no frame

yes they are 100% structural they are the main support under the car that connects the front to the rear but you can get by driving without them. The car will sag in the middle and it will flex a lot going over railroad tracks and stuff but the car shouldn't break in half as long as you have a roof. Convertible is a different story

I am south of Minneapolis mn about 30 miles

You mean on this video or on KZbin?

I think at that time I charged 1000 it would need to be more now as the costs have gone up , probably 1200-1500

ive repaired rust on 2016 trucks, yes, its crazy but part of living in the rust belt

I know, way too many years smelling paint and bondo fumes, they’ve taken there toll, lol

Yeah it seems the state of charging in the US is shockingly bad unless you have a Tesla, they basically have a monopoly. Completely different story here in Europe. Tesla network is pretty slow compared to Ionity, most Tesla chargers are 150-250kw whereas almost all ionity chargers are 350kw. So if you have a Porsche taycan that can take 315kw to 60% and 290 until 70% then you'd want to avoid charging at Tesla. That said, the new polestars can take around 200kw, old ones take up to 150kw and so can the Tesla network is fine, but I'd rank Ionity as #1 due to the better speed and then Tesla a very close 2nd. Also Tesla uses CCS 2 in Europe just like every other car, not sure about CCS 1 but CCS 2 supports auto pay and a lot of networks here in the UK now support it. Even older polestars now support it, so you could just plug in a polestar and it would automatically start charging and bill you without needing any authentication. Just like Teslas do. Charging has changed so much in the last year, let alone 2 or 3 years

@@iambenmitchell especially in france ! there's a law that says there must be a fast charging station anywhere there's a gas station on the highway ! Also all the prices are way less high

I’m in Minnesota, a part of the rust belt

I’ve heard of places charging that, I think I charged this guy 1200, is that just to do the box or rockers too?

@@hazelwoodgarage just the box.

I also saw a sign that says a poor man has 1 dog, a damn poor man has 2!

I am south of Minneapolis, I have put many patch panels on over the years

@@hazelwoodgarage ahh I’m in Maryland, a little far for me. Hope I can find a solid shop that can do the work in my area. Thank you though!

Oh, well, I aim to please lol

100% agree it’s pathetic. My 14 drivers side bed is rusting

Yes, but I m full for at least 2 weeks , I think this type of repair and paint the box sides would cost 700-800 depending on a few things

I’ve repaired a few rusted out strut towers, it looks harder than it is, it’s patch it up or send the car to the bone yard
