How To Fix Big Rust Holes On Your Car | Honda Civic 2001

[@kunalbaug9105]

I see men of culture appreciate a skilled man’s trade. This is a work of art!

[@alexandrhrouz666]

Glad you actually did the repair the proper way and not just hid all the damage under body filler like some people do. Good work

[@Stevespecs]

I did a repair something like this back in the early eighties on an old Monte Carlo, the repair lasted eleven years, and then I sold it. Great job!

[@AmberRobbyMann]

Excellent ❤ When I had rust holes on my vehicle in 2010. I first sand it with a sand paper until I saw silver mental on the edge of the hole, than I used rust protection spray, than I filled the hole with a wire mesh, and I applied fiber polyester on top of the wire mesh, than I sand it down with sand paper, than a applied primer paint and than finally painted it. It was my weekend hobby which only costed me about $50 from Walmart and safety gloves, mask and glasses from the dollar store. The final presentation was okay on my job, but this man job is excellent, love it ❤, thank you sir.

[@pinepaul9920]

Nice job. It’s tough to weld thin rotted metal. With an older car this isn’t a job that will last for years. He has taken care of the gaping rust hole which was the problem. But it is a repair that will last several years with slight surface rusting through the paint. You just have to keep touching up the light surface rust.

[@Pharaohscrown]

That's a lot of work you put in. Looks great.

[@joselouru]

Nice work! There’s always that guy that criticizes everything, if you don’t try you don’t learn . And welding is not something you learn from one day to another. Same with bondo and sending it . Awesome job bro

Always good to primer before body filler. Moisture can seep behind bodyfiller I’ve seen large patches of rust form under body filler

[@ireallyreallyreallylikethisimg]

You can primer before body filler?! What

[@halleffect1]

primer is porous, won't stop moisture

[@joemyler2958]

You have to apply a special primer before you cab apply body filler. Body filler is really only supposed to be used over glass, or bare metal. Fiberglass is water proof, and is stronger than standard body filler.

[@SwiftRIBSAust]

Filler can go over etch primer - not normal primer

[@w05apple22]

Nice job! Probably would have seam sealed the larger panel inside before welding smaller patch to prevent rust

[@rpj1320]

Good Job. Did the same repair on my old rust bucket about 5 yrs ago, almost the complete sill from front to back and into the wheel arch. Tried to seam weld it but was just blowing holes so stiched it like this chap. I didn't mess around too much with the filler. Just enough to cover the welds and the hit the entire sill with Black Jack. The other sill should be getting done soon, along with the wheel arches. Black Jack again. It's an old car. What do I care what it looks like. If you want it to look new.... buy a new car. Beggars can't be choosers.

[@joemyler2958]

I always use a cheese grater file, when the body filler is the consistency of rubber. This reduces how much sanding down of the filler I have to do. Once the filler hardens. I always machine sand, then block sand the area to eliminate any machine marks.

On my Chevy van big rust on lower under doors I got some ABS black plastic 6 in and ran it through a table saw cut it in half. Two pieces the length from tire to tire. Drilled out resessed holes in top and Screwed in self tappers.. Black Caulk the top. Underneath I bent 5 bolts connected to anything. It's ugly Rusty mess but it worked and it will never rust there again. Oh I forgot I used old engine oil in a spray bottle mixed with some paint thinner and sprayed all the underneath before I started. For other projects, If you want free metal just find a commercial metal shop dumpster. If you get lucky you'll find the primed and painted with the plastic film overlay.

Good work for 3 months. The rust will be waiting for the ouner under putty. 😢 Large problem for the cars from winter territory.

[@klausjensen9150]

DAN i hear you and ditto to that . I use a marine grade filler , totally water proof and a lot stronger . Now i dont use it everywhere but in areas like that it is sometimes a blessing although harder to sand out . I have once had to repair a front fender and used 304 stainless for the lip , then blended with marine grade bondo on my old dodge truck . That was a 91 Dakota . That SS is still there , 400,000 plus . Canadian salt on the roads .

This whole process reminds me of my 1st "truck", a 1962 Ford Falcon Ranchero. Or the "Rusty Bean Ranchero" as everyone called her. Yes, if i moved the carpet square i could see the road and the rear wheel wells, on the outside body panels, were rusted out. I always wanted to restore here but my dad nixed it. Want to find another one and restore it. With one "minor" modification. Drop a 302 BOSS in it rather than the 289 it came with. 😂😂😂 So when they said rust modifier, does that just mean Naval Jelly? Very nice work!

Welds look like mine 😅 I like that 🤝 I would grind the welds more down und apply 2 light coast of Epoxy 2K Primer before the sealant. After the 2k Epoxy it's protected from the outside. Never paint on bare metal !

[@crazyantny9161]

One thing i learned as vette man. Fibwrglass doent rust. I dont for the life of me understand why so many people go ahead and use metal again on rust pron vehicals, espeially when they have a perfect template. Even body shop repais. The rust is back with a bubble in under a year and rusted out in a few years, tops. The only time to use steel is going into a pinchweld simply because of strenth and integrity. Id still dink that in and put mess over it. What most people dont understand saying use primer or paint the underside is that the weld melts it and immedialy starts rust as it cools

[@mawa01]

Hmmm.... This reminds me of my early days in sheet metal repair. Nowadays, the sheet metal is properly fitted and adjusted. I haven't done stippling in a long time, the weld is ultimately continuous and as a result I also only need minimal filler. How many kg of putty have you applied now? Believe me, you can do it with less filler. You haven't done yourself any favors in the long run. But the result is impressive. 😉

[@My_Old_YT_Account]

What should be done for a long lasting repair?

[@mawa01]

@@My_Old_YT_Account Well... Not much, really. Basically, he did almost everything right. Only the execution leaves something to be desired. There are three or four points that I would criticize. 1) The wheel arch consists of two parts (the inner and outer wheel arch), or the inner and outer sills. However, only one panel was made to repair this area. Okay, that's complaining at a high level. 2) The repair plate seems very thick to me (I think it is a 2 mm plate), in contrast to the one used at the factory (the factory plate is 0.7 mm thick). Furthermore, the sheet metal was only roughly pre-formed and finally shaped with a jack. This in turn leads to the sheet metal being misshapen and thus to the use of the filler. Note... The cleaner you make a repair panel, the less filler you have to use! 3) A hole was drilled to seal the cavity, which was then sealed with filler. Filling compound is usually water-absorbent, which in turn leads to corrosion in the long term. 4) The sheet metal was only spot-welded, which means that there is no full-surface connection with the rest of the body. To put it in a nutshell, if the repair panels had been properly preformed, fitted and welded over the entire surface, you would have saved yourself a weld seam that could rust again due to condensation. Which brings me to closing the hole in the wheel arch for cavity preservation with filler. As a rule, a rubber plug is inserted there. Only a layer of zinc stray was applied as rust prevention for the repair panels. Generally, however, a welding and epoxy primer is applied. This would then ensure long-term rust prevention. As I said, I'm complaining at a very high level here. But the procedure is okay for a hobby repair.
