Learning to Weld: Almost Gave Up on VW Golf 3 Sill Repair

[@KeidiandCars]

I stumbled on some rocks so you woudn’t have to. Would you try welding now? P.s A welder himself said: “Impressive.” 😀🤓

[@Pynoxim1]

I've been working on cars for almost two decades now and I still can't weld so this, to me, is a major accomplishment. Well done!

[@KeidiandCars]

Thank You!☺️

Not easy to learn alone! Great job! Kiss from France 🇨🇵

I've welded a lot of cars and i went from "omg, she needs help" to "wow, nice!". Learning to weld on a car (and doing minimal grinding and bondo) takes a lot of practice. (my welds sometimes still look aweful after years) You are a fast learner and show a lot of confidence. One tip, use a spot weld drill to remove old panels. They mostly are a pain to work with, but if you use a punch it's ok. Keep up de good work and keep the content coming!👍

[@KeidiandCars]

Yeah, I actually did use the spotweld drill, but only usable when can reach both sides, but I was so happy when I could use that, so simple.🤩 Thank you, yes if someone shows, I will pick it up very quickly. I’m confident in trying at least yeah.🤓 Thanks, will do!

If you're planning on doing more panel repair, look at this guy's channel (Fitzee's fabrications). He does something called the "cut and butt" which makes doing butt welds waayyyy easier. I hated doing repairs before finding that guy's stuff, but it's not a big deal now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYvSZq1mgdukd9k

[@KeidiandCars]

Thank you! Been looking Make It Custom channel, brilliant. I will look your suggestion up too.😊

[@dubCanuck1]

@@KeidiandCars Just keep at it. After a few times, it'll be easier and easier. I have MK4s, so I've had to do like 6 rocker panel repairs now. With the cut and butt method, it's pretty easy for me know.

[@dubCanuck1]

Oh, and if you can get some copper or aluminum to back your spot welds, you'll blow less holes in the spots.

[@KeidiandCars]

@@dubCanuck1 yeah, I had those. Unfortunately couldn’t get to the back of the spots where I most needed them.😀

[@archiebaldock5488]

Great job, i need to do my mk3

[@KeidiandCars]

Go for it!💪🏼

Hi. I accidentally found your channel when I was watching videos about Corrado. I have been helping a friend of mine restore his 1990 Corrado for two years now. He bought it in a deplorable state and decided to restore it and make it better. You are very beautiful, and you have an angelic voice, and the fact that you love cars and know how to repair and restore them is amazing 😍👍. I subscribed to you and will watch your development as a car restoration master. You are a super girl, it's a pity you are far from me, otherwise I would help you with cars. 🤍🤍

[@KeidiandCars]

Welcome.👋🏼 Thank you for kind words! And good luck with the Corrado!💪🏼
