deffo use that welding mask

[@TheOtherStuff]

Sorry mate 😅 sometimes the gap between the floor and the car was soo small to fit my Fat head and welding mask under so just improvised, will wear it the next time 🫡

[@barryrodgers7519]

You can buy welding goggles/glasses for the right atleast. Not as good as a mask but better than nothing.

[@barryrodgers7519]

Tight areas*

[@TheOtherStuff]

@@barryrodgers7519 Thank you mate! I've taken a look and ordered some for the other side of the sill, can't say they are the most stylish things in the world though 🤣😅

[@kitwong9650]

Actually didn't look half as bad as I was expecting 😂 great job and excited to see the rest of this build 👍

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate! I do appreciate that alot you know! The outer sill, was pretty disgusting looking, but it does the job! Alot of people giving me tips to improve the next side which I'm grateful for although most of them are slating me, tough love i call it 😅🤣❤

[@anointed2012]

Thanks for sharing bro. Love what u do....very inspiring to see u sort the car out yourself. Looking forward to the next vid. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheOtherStuff]

Thank you for the comment mate! And really appreciate it mate, Most people if not all people would of just sold this on or scrapped it, I'm glad, i've kept it on the road for even a little longer!

[@petpan74]

Impressed considering its you're first time plus saved a chunk of money👏👏

[@WillBrownCars]

Love the video bro! Can tell you're putting a lot of effort into the storytelling and production! Keep it up! 😀

[@dilligaf3429]

Hope you disconnected the battery before you started welding 😂

[@TheOtherStuff]

Can confirm I did, luckily, or bye bye electronics 😅🥲🤣

[@da-mazing8500]

Loving the MOT approved rubber mallet! Rust friendly way of checking. Good video, excellent editing yet again

[@TheOtherStuff]

I called it the Mallet of death because it took half of the car with it 😅😅 Thank you for the support brother ❤❤❤❤

[@damiantopola9326]

You're a good lad tbf, alot of people give up on mx 5s as soon as the sills go through

[@robkneen7546]

Well congratulations numpty you welding without a mask will lead to you burning off your uv protection layer off 😂😂

[@TheOtherStuff]

I know mate I'm sorry 😅 I can't lie, wish i saw this comment before welding, my eyes hurt for a couple days after welding 🤣😅😅😅

[@trippy_boxer_dog2170]

i have seen some bodge welding in my time and i must say that that was not a bad attempt for your first time. well done!

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Nice work Mike, certainly a saving doing it yourself.the left hand side is now rust free and looks pretty good.i would invest in a mask though.M7.

[@tempo1912]

im not the best of welder fabricators, but by the looks of it, id switch the welder into the 2nd mode, and up the wire speed a bit to make the welds come out more flush, easier to grind, dont put either too high as you dont want to burn through the metal

[@Osedread]

Gotta say, you’re a f***ing legend for giving it a go, mate. Looks mint

[@Simon-sv6qe]

That seatbelt anchor point is dangerous, in a crash the rust will just crumble needs the whole anchor point cutting out and replacing not just the nut being bunged up with weld

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate!!! I have a new bolt and nut coming tomorrow to weld back on! But the area around the seatbelt seems more then strong enough, but I’ll take your comment to account and check this before I put the new nut and bolt in! Thank you for the comment mate! ❤️:)

[@matthias12345654321]

You could weld a metal bar in and attach a harness to it haha

[@georgedrummond1111]

hey fella much better than they daft POV drive videos, keep up the good work.

[@Jahmed5635]

Fair play man, I spent £355 on welding for a car I bought for less than a grand, it was for for the scrap but decided to just fix it

[@ryanlight9481]

Gotta rate it. First attempt at welding and looks good. I’m just about to have an exhaust fitted to my fiesta so hope it goes well 🙏🏻

[@donovan22]

Bro, i was like... Just throw the car away... After i saw you do all this welding without any experience.. all I can say... Great great job!!

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate! Thank you for the comment and your honesty 🤣🤣 Most people told me to throw the car away, and they wouldn't be wrong, although its not perfect, i'm super happy with the result! Just hopeing it stays in one pice in the next video when I try and jack it up 😅

[@kkeennyyboii]

you will have to go back to your repair job and create holes for the water to drain out of, if its fully welded with no holes it’ll be carrying water and you’ll hear it sloshing back and fourth when you drive. Good job👌🏻🫡

[@ClassifiedXI]

Hello mate great video. i have a tiny bit of rust showing on the rear where both my wheels connect to, but its nothing as worse as yours just to stop the rust from spreading what should i do use lanoguard?? If anyone could help id apprciate it

[@jamessmall6826]

Put some harnesses in the mx5 and get rid of the seat belts, problem solved 😂

[@streetcodeonly]

Fair play mate this was a good video. Getting your hands dirty is where the real funs at! What track will you be going to first?

[@sugar-3-Danny]

Done a better job then most welding jobs I’ve had to have done. Well done mate

[@Marvooo74]

makes me happy seeing how far you've progressed bro

[@djsiuk]

Great video. Use weld thru primer next time. You could have got the complete sills cheaper. I’d weld a new sheet for the seat belt unless you have tested and it’s only surface rust.

[@jacksharpe5176]

M7!!!!!😅 Brilliant job😅 n the sill mate, class video can’t wait to see more on the MX5👊🏼💙

[@ljfrang0686]

Love the Mx-5 vids, brings me back to the corsa days where you haven’t got a care in the world if it looks a bit botched 😅

[@Alex_Fella]

Good job Michael. Im thinking of doing a welding course as I'll need to learn to weld to keep my old Ford transit on the road 😭😂

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate! Thank you, really appreciate it! And I definitely would, I might have to join you on that one! Welding is such a cool skill and can save you so much money, and even further, if your good enough, it can make you alot of money!!!! GOod luck mate! ❤😎

[@CarefreeCFC83]

Well done mate, always satisfying to do something yourself, and was worth a try after those quotes! 👍

[@jayacourt8282]

Fair play on diy welding matey, not too shabby for your first crack at it 👌🏻

[@TheOtherStuff]

Thank you mate! Really appreciate it! Definitely not the perfect finish, and i definitely see there are professionals out there for a reason 🤣😅

[@missionquasar1429]

Impressive for someone doing things on the drive, and you are getting out there and doing stuff. Outer sill looks pretty damn good. Inner sill should be made right tho as that is structual part, it has holes and bends along the way to reinforce the plate and therefore the chassis.

[@TheKsharm]

That was excellent as a result. Well done! But please for the love of your eyes get a welding mask. I'm going to be looking all over mine now🤣

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate! Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! Yeah, I definitely will mate, thank you for the comment, my eyes were hurting after this video 🤣 What car do you have?

[@TheKsharm]

@@TheOtherStuff I have an NC too, with an old man brown roof. 😁 But I think it goes with the brown leather and black paint. That or need my pipe and slippers. But yeah your work on the welding was brilliant, I'm sure it was hard, but you made it look very doable.

[@robquattro5419]

Should have got some cavity wax or under seal or even a coat of primer under there bud, cover all the bare metal before the outer skin goes on. But otherwise, kudos to you man, for a first timer you’ve done very well 👍🏼 fair play for getting stuck in, most people 💩 when they see this type of thing

[@Astragtc1770]

Did you treat all the rush that was left behind if not your new metal will rust

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate! Yeah I used Primer, Tiger seal on the weld joins and Underseal? Is that ok for it?

[@shizz7le489]

​@TheOtherStuff use Hammerite either black or white paint great stuff.

[@Ellis.d22]

Please get a welding mask, and re do that seatbelt anchor area bc that weld will just break under enough force I.E. a crash

[@johnc9228]

Makes you wonder how the hell did it get through its last mot with the sills that rotten

Make sure to wear your visor when welding even just for tacks cause you’ll regret it once you feel ark eye 😅( known from experience😂)

[@hspetrolhead863]

What welding machine did you used??

[@robs_rc_cars]

Make sure to seal them side skirts properly so water salt of the roads and dirt doesn’t get behind them .. main cause of the sills rotting.. but well done for tackling the job yourself bro.. but ffs wear a welding mask them poor eyes 👀 lol 🤦😂

[@andystewart7086]

Definitely put some cavity wax oil inside sill to help stop future rust nice first attempt tho

[@TheOtherStuff]

Hey mate! Yeah I should of done that before it all wend back together 🙄 But I'll try and get some up in there somehow! Thank you for the comment mate 😁

[@DJRS9045]

where is your welding mask 😭😭😭

[@racingwithbrad]

Dude. You cannot do any decent weld bead without looking at what you’re doing. Did you check you got full penetration on that thickness of metal on a test section before starting? (As this is your first time using I’m guessing you’re not that familiar with the power settings you’ve got to play with?) You want to get it hot enough that you almost burn through but obviously don’t. As someone who’s only just been getting into welding parts for my NC like the Nielex clutch bracket gussets. I cannot stress how important prep is for a decent weld. It’s why welders can charge what they charge because most of their work is prep and ultimately any monkey can use a MIG torch. Especially if you’re going to grind back the welds. As long as you got good penetration that is the most important thing. If you can’t get under the car with a welding mask then I suggest you jack it up more on axle stands. The only time you can get away with not looking and closing your eyes is doing a quick little tack weld. That’s okay. But if you ever have weld spatter get you in your face or clothes you’d know about it. Get yourself some proper thick MIG gloves. As for welding to rust that’s almost as useless as a chocolate tea-pot mate. When your grinding back welds it’s important on thin sheet metal that you cool the weld down with either compressed air straight away or with a damp rag. This stops the distortion in the panel. Weld through primer can be used in certain areas too. I suggest you take a look at “Make it Kustom” Karl Fisher has excellent MIG welding tutorials. I suggest you watch his videos on fabrication it’s quite good. I’ve read most of these comments and most of them are Yes-men. Hopefully you might actually be able to get better with the info I provided. If you haven’t yet. Get a cheap Hyundai or SGS air compressor and air-duster/gun. Probably cost you £100. Dollars your tyres with it too etc. In regards to anything structural mate, I suggest you over-engineer it and if you see anything is at all rusted to bits after a fleece wheel on a grinder then it needs to be totally cut out and repaired. I’d speak to Alex or Tom @PerformanceLink as this is what they do day in, day out. That seat belt anchor defo needs some proper work. Also you could have just bent the 2mm thick or so mild steel in an old Record branded vice with some cheap Amazon Draper soft-jaws. Or even blocks of wood. Wood is good.
