Welding The Quarter Panel on my R32 GT-R Restoration pt. 37

[@KalvinMalli]

Everyone be sure to thank stacked exports in the comments for suppling these brand new Nismo quarters! Hope you guys are enjoying the content! Happy Saturday! -kalvin

[@simonrushen2484]

looks amazing bro well happy for you

[@gateaccess818]

i felt this, i had to chop and swap the rear quarter on my 94 Z32. those panels all interlace like the gtr as well. and once that panel was being attached for the final time. hollyyyyy talk about stressful! wanting to ensure all the body lines, panel and parts aligned perfectly. while praying all the seams and welds looked as oem as possible. just not wanting to hack or slack on anything is def stress. but once it all went together. and looked as it should. the weight just dropped off teh shoulder. felt unreal. years in the making. legit. bro. you did amazing work!!!!!

[@SasukeGarage55]

MENGA MINT!!!

[@Ledface117]

Bro you’re at the point where you’re actually building the car up. It’s literally all up from here.

[@SavageInstinct1180]

Seriously bro this has been the best build to watch on youtube! Edit: Homie I was tearing up when you put the panel on! 🤣

[@mr.cangieter8758]

We saw you holding back those tears Kalvin. But we are happy to see them.

[@Superdimensional]

You hear a lot of people tbrow around the term “build” and it always irks me when it’s just a car with some bolt ons, wheels and suspension. THIS, is a BUILD!! 👏👏✊✊

[@carrevive]

Funny how I was just thinking the same thing 😮

[@A_T88]

You’re finally at the build part! The tear down and replace obviously was super draining and demoralizing, but YOU COMPLETED IT! Despite everything, such an accomplishment. And now she gets to come together and I’m definitely here for it still!

[@TomBudin]

11:48 the music hahahahahahah brother we are all with you play the same music when you get the drone shot of you driving up the mountains and it cuts to a b roll of the car

[@ScoobyDoobieDoo555]

This is quality content, if it was easy everyone would do it. No one else doing this right now

[@Skooby59]

Loving the progress and the amazing work your putting in. Wonder how impressed Nissan will be with your finished product

[@Hobidee]

Thanks for keeping us amazed! Amazing content, this will turn out one of the cleanest if not THE cleanest r32 GTR in the world! Keep going!

[@ToPGam3r13]

Subscribing years back is my best decision. Real car builds with entertainment and amazing skills. Keep grinding.

[@trevorsmith9251]

What an awesome achievement, you’ll look back on this moment and smile 💯

[@volourondonut74]

You've come a long way my guy, congratulations. Not out of the woods yet but at least you have a lantern.

[@MrJman967]

These past few uploads got me motivated to work on my S14

[@garagegnomes]

Great work Kalvin. This is a huge moment!

[@abrahamrobles9584]

After so much sweat tears hard work say hello to your rust free GTR ❤ congrats bro

[@lahnie95]

Bro the amount of motivation you give me to go work on my stuff is criminal. Honestly i see you thumbnail sometimes and i lock my phone immediately, go out to the garage and play your video while i work 🥲👏🏾 thank you sir

[@carrevive]

This is the style in builds I like!!!

[@dusterpl6093]

now that's a proper milestone in the build. it's mad to see it finally taking shape, looking more and more like a gt-r. can't wait to see more progress!

[@joaovilasboas4002]

How does the video only have 600likes if 4000 people watched. Cmon guys why u not liking the videos if ur watching. The videos are constant and the qualitiy is amzing. Show some love man🫶🫶🫶

[@mickc8738]

I really love the attention to detail and your ability to still have such a great attitude and get pumped about sections of the car you have completed it really shows how much work goes into a restoration of this calibre. Love the channel keep it up sir!!

[@JoshD10]

Great job bro. Let’s finish it off strong 💪🏽

[@JDMRightHandDrive]

Dude, I am totally so happy for you. I can feel your joy and how proud you are of yourself. I am beyond excited for you Kalvin and how far you have come on your GTR restoration journey. Love the content, keep the videos coming brother! Best of luck with the rest of you rebuild

[@austinmears6481]

[@kanenstuff]

[@DubaCavazinT]

Literally the cleanest GTR in the world, so happy for you!

[@Werewolf-Future]

[@johnnyghia]

Such a great milestone. Rust is now really to a minimal.😂 well done😊

[@klunker289]

Kelvin you turned a shitty situation into Victory. Be proud, congratulations👊

[@KingZekt]

I love seeing your progress on this project!

[@swaylowe9x]

Wow bro the vision is there man i cant wait to see you finish this car you have to take it to a big show event and stress that rust is to a minimal😂

[@christopher88719]

The only way to do things right is to do them yourself!

[@slackerzsincity8822]

Lets go, everyone should be pump, overwhelmed with body do the motor just to keep the progress going.

[@Sendludes]

So awesome to see. Been watching for years waiting for this moment. Maybe almost as much as you lol.

[@Xhistt]

Amazing work, it’s come so far

[@christiangarcia8888]

Hooked on the progress! Looking forwards to more videos

[@EVADE.editss]

Thanks!

[@jayreel4626]

Watching since the rb20 days actually even earlier than that when you got your first shed and when you were working from your parents garage , I too bought a rotten heap of shit JDM nugget have thought many many times of cubing it , watching you fix this car has pushed me throught to save my own , sick to see how far you've come deffo one of the best channels out there,love from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@antwnhsnas2889]

Well done kalvin! It's sure, a big monumental moment for the built! A well deserved one! So much blood, sweat, tears and lot of soul, i' ll add, finally paid off my dude! Keep going strong my brother!

[@geoffduckworth8044]

Great work! Loving the progress.

[@azeemali6919]

Perfectionist right here guys, love it and keep it coming bro.. make sure to kick back a little in between bro.. can't wait till it's all done and out on the road 👏👏

[@clapinskas1]

Looking good brother!

[@wademullins7326]

Awesome to see panels going on for the final time! Definitely going to have this completed this year! Good work bro! Have totally enjoyed this build from start to now. Can definitely say it has minimal rust now!

[@joshuakelly7608]

Proud of you bro!🎉

[@1carlsworth]

It is true I've been drinking, but I'm gonna say it anyway. This is my favourite build on KZbin- wish it was a 24 hrs stream I would have added dynamat to inside the quarter panel

[@TotallyNotRoadkiill]

Fuck yeah! Its good to see panels being officially reattached my guy!

[@Wangan280z]

Nothing like a hand built GTR❤

[@anasamla]

The general rule of thumb for adding strength via spot welds is every 1 inch. Which will overheat the panels if you just continue in a single line. Yes 1 inch seems like tight spacing but it is what's required. Spread yourself across each panel of the car, you're looking at over 10k spot welds to compete with a roll cage.

[@akdragonpc473]

Incredible dedication, man. Well done!

[@Ray-om6oi]

Keep it up man, you're doing amazing.

[@foxumall6542]

Congrats Kalvin it's looking good the only way is up baby 👌👌👌👋👋👋👍👍👍from a friend in the UK 👌😊

[@Deg8666]

She's looking good mate

[@dohmarau]

Very happy to see this happen. I had to replace both of my quarters too, not so much for rust but the fact the japanese owner had repaired it by using a tonne of bog filler... Your car will be a work of art when its done, I just hope you're able to find a place that will insure you for a decent amount! Mines insured for $130k AUD

[@vee950]

Great job Calvin this is an insane amount of work the average Joe would bother with but that's what makes you a real car builder guy you don't give and you don't half step 👍🏾 keep the content coming

[@nicholassmith787]

Congratulations, this must feel soooo gooooddddd, and bring in some positive vibes towards the gtr for you.

[@d1mitri697]

W spot welds, they do look like youre using a pro spot.

[@catchmeonblampied4021]

Love sitting at my desk, cup of tea in hand and watching your uploads. Much Aroha (love) from Aotearoa (New Zealand)

[@amarramsingh9594]

Congrats bro i been waiting a long time to see you reach this far

[@XLoad3d]

nismo makes a "under floor reinforcement bar". theres a trunk strut bar. You can buy crossbars aftermarket but yea id alot of cross bars wherever possible. yea look up "do luck rear cross bar r32"

[@bluetwirk300zx]

Anything 😂😂😂😂 Keep killin it big dog!!! The best is yet to come!!!

[@MrHianga]

I'm fxcking here for it brother.. Let's fxcking go, persistence and perseverance is paying off.. 💪

[@1127csk]

[@tylerwalsh4254]

Hitting your strides now mate.

[@BoostedDC5]

Working with the Larry June in the background 👌🏾

[@Riekertvv]

Love it man! Just love it! And awesome find on the tig "spot welding". I'm waiting on my mig's gas so I can start tackling my datsun! haha

[@fallofthezombies1379]

I love this content. Good job. I cant wait to see it done.

[@Shoota211177]

The pain must all be worth it now to see it all coming back together!

[@Mexirican16]

The doubles spot welds reminds me of a scene from Wangan Midnight when he added rigidness to the Blackbird Porsche🔥🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@its-skippee8579]

Letsgoooooo kalvinnnn, man if you were here in Nz I’d get you to do my kingswood project panel work for sure ! Your the best man much love dude. GDR gonna be together in no time

[@huvadub]

Looks good man awesome work

[@rickqueen65]

I'm glad to see you're officially back consistently, along with the GTRs' amazing progress. She's looking great.

[@nismofisch]

One word comes to mind and that is - awesome! Super happy for you man 🤙🏻.

[@RiideWorthy]

Crazy how it’s just coming all together now!!!

[@NoBiggieProductions]

So so happy I was gifted your Zupra build video by the algorithm all those years ago, keep up the amazing work and keep your head high! You’re one of the best out there!!

[@jason240sx1]

Music was on point!! Congratulations Kalvin

[@zehlersan]

Yeah Sprayway is the best I have been using it for 20 years

[@heerolupin]

KAL. IT'S OFFICIALLY A CAR AGAIN. CONGRATS MAN YOU FUCKING DID IT. WAY TO STICK IT THROUGH.

[@Folkert123]

Great work man! keep it going!!

[@jerrellrice3413]

We're at the point of assembly! 💪🏾👍🏾🫡🤘🏽👏🏾👌🏽🤙🏾

[@simonchristyjohnston4365]

Amazing progress bro!

[@StebanJeyathas]

Made till the end, have a good weekend

[@Reiken2007]

There you go buddy. Now its the fun part were you can slowly "see" a car again

[@DubsieWubzie]

So happy for you to get to this point dude!!

[@elegymusic]

from your video of when you bought the welder to now your welding is sounding better and subsequently looking better

[@JRod206]

The GOAT of restoration

[@santiagoestevez623]

Congrats Dude. yeah its a big moment. we all want to do thing in our own way and this is one of the best examples, just dont forget the sound deadening, on the panels so its a nice place to be. keel it up!!!

[@Alissontw]

Great work Kalvin.

[@Philosophy546]

Nice work man!

[@Crazian.07]

I’m curious how installing the roof panel will be like. Usually that goes in first since it’s a lot harder to place compared to the quarter. I envy your skills and dedication and hope I can achieve something similar with mine

[@mikethejake_BM44]

The attention to details is impressive!

[@ChinitFxt]

Keep up the good work bro

[@reversemotozuki]

Man great job! I wonder if for that 3 layer part you could weld on the outside then go weld on the inside. Just a thought.

[@micahortiz2598]

Sweet man, keep it coming

[@KalvinMalli]

Thanks! Will do!

[@7MPower]

I'm very proud of you my man! Are you going to stitch weld around the strut towers etc? I can remember watching a video of Tsuchiya's AE86 being stick welded in all the critical area's.

[@twistotv5777]

Awesome stuff bro

[@Dice_weiss]

From rust to race car. Let’s go!

[@XLoad3d]

also look into "R32 power braces" you might be able to replicate that and fabricate it yourself. reinforce the frame

[@ryanwolfe911]

You went way overboard with the spot welds lol. And also on the outer wheel house where the quarter sits against it, seam sealer is supposed to go on that flange, not panel bond, but It didn’t hurt that you did. Nice job Kalvin, I bet it feels good. 🎉

[@KalvinMalli]

Nah, I explain why👍🏽 and there’s nothing from factory that goes there. No seam sealer. I wouldn’t recommend seam sealer one bit there bro!

[@kitvexed8229]

YAH Kalvin!! YAH!!!

[@vbain9167]

There's no turning back up only one way to go now and it's up 🎉
