As a Minnesotan, your rust bucket is our "rust free" marketplace deal😂

[@anonymous5072]

Lmao fr used to live in Iowa and they are heavy with the salt. You can’t find a good car under $8k and if it’s any lower it’ll have heavy rust

[@PheejiWata]

Facts!! Mn problems

[@Spencer2low]

Ayyy MN gang and that that’s realist shit ever

[@OgMooMan]

Agreed 😂🫡

[@sierraandnick]

i can't wait for you to hit 1million no one deserves it as much as you brother raw and natural car content 🙏🏼

[@christianpishchanetskiy4975]

Facts

[@MrJuice315]

Sir thats not rocker panel, once you're on the inside of that pinch weld...thats the floor. Also you'd never put 1/4" plate there. Order inner and outer rocker panels and patch whatever else needs patching.

[@UnWrecked]

rubbberized undercoating in your area will be fine but I avoid it up here in PA. Once it gets compromised, it traps dirt, salt, and moisture under it and makes things worse. We use WoolWax black, it looks nice and never fully dries. salt can't get trapped underneath it.

[@syzeification]

Brother if rust makes a hole you need to cut out a lot more than just the hole to make it good metal again. For the xe10 chassis there's repair panels for exactly the rocker panels, the rear arches and the floor in the boot. I am doing exactly this on my car right now, it's a lot of work but definitely recommend it so that it can be really rust free

[@abhissmalizard8732]

Hey man do you have a link to that?

[@2jneex]

YES IS300 VIDS ARE BACK

[@Andy4543]

Let’s get Evan to 1 million subscribers this year boys!!! Everyone subscribe!!!

[@Copebro603]

A needle gun every surface sailors arch nemesis 😂

[@1993Revhead]

Its refreshing seeing evan do his own work for a change.

[@lucky7th331]

I keep forgeting it is a wagon now, cause it still has the red front 😂

[@juanceja4140]

Fellow sportX owners was worried about rocket panel rust on mine and I enjoy seeing how rusty yours is because mine is nowhere near as bad so it makes me feel better about the condition of mine

[@kjstewys]

Aye W sponsor timing!!! I just got my Midnight Luxe yesterday (from your code/link of course) and that sleep last night was 🔥🔥🔥 wayyyy better than the mattress we had before.

[@Barry.ONeill]

Watch some of Fitzys Fabrications for rust repair. We only used that needle scaler on the chasis of vans and trucks not sheet metal , you need a wire wheel on and angle gri der and cut all the rust out once you see where it stops .

[@NotHome]

My Sportcross is lifted up right now doing the same exact same thing here, continued luck to you man! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jbabbsgarage1225]

I love watching you on here building. It seems like our heads work kinda the same and seeing you out here doin that, all of that lol just makes me think that I can do it to. Your a inspiration to many. We need more people like you in this world for real man. Keep doin this work dude. You are doin great!!!!

[@ondrejbrendza7678]

Hey Evan, have u thought about doing some kind of voice-overs of timelapses/cinematics of your work ? Like describing what u doing, why u doing in the video ? I think it would be interesting to see why u do what u do.

[@nickmanchesi4795]

Keep the is300 videos coming please every week!

[@Pazzzur]

Posted 20 seconds ago and i'm here already 😎😎

[@jessewilliams57]

It’s sad to see your views so much lower than they should be. Makes zero sense and is disheartening as a viewer who’s been with you since your college days. Much love from me. Hope KZbin can figure their stuff out like they said they would

[@R19Robbin]

The red rust bucket 😂😂 She's gonna be sick when the build is finished 🔥🔥

[@swervinjr7420]

Uploaded at the perfect time!

[@MistaE]

Harbor frig sells some pretty awesome tools i love going there

[@ethangee96]

Had one of these chassis, but the saloon version here in the UK and they rust to bad on the sills/rockers, apparently what causes it is the sun roof drains over time get blocked at the bottom and the water has nowhere to go and just sits inside the sill, Over here if you find one with no rusty rockers then it's either super low mileage garage kept or its the rare non sunroof model

[@TheAlexdylan97]

that shell is ready for the scrapyard

[@turbogears900]

I like this sportcross and the content

[@dobie25fan]

Another banger! Love this car and what it is turning into. #lexusgang

[@bol___6878]

keep the wagons alive!

[@horizonnp5153]

Welcome to everyday life of a car guy living up north🥲

[@jaidedeye]

Brother, I love your drive and content but you need to buy the proper replacement panels to weld in. 👍

[@zuvora7597]

I gotta do this to my civic but man, ignorance is bliss like you said 😭

[@justinwalsh8512]

Try dry ice blasting

[@kyleramdial4973]

I felt rust in my eye watching this

[@trevorboice9946]

Update on the stang??

[@syprasx3286]

Ive got a manual altezza gita

[@spencer9325]

Ahh yes the infamous needle gun. Will vibrate your teeth out. Great tool

[@RobertBlacklit]

🔥🔥

[@christian.x6796]

my pinchwelds are dust also 😭

[@Bull1175]

Call jimmy Oakes and see if you can borrow Spoon for the repair.

[@ivanfigueroa2828]

❤❤❤

[@karlsteev]

Don’t just paint over the spots that had rust. It could come back if not treated. Of getting as much rust off treat the area Por-15 rust converter and it shouldn’t come back.

[@dannygamble7033]

Dont just cover over the rust you need to cut the rot out then replace with new metal then seal it up or it Will just continu to rust from the inside out bud

[@Matt-g9z]

Bro my rockers are so bad I can’t jack it up

[@kouvang5963]

Wheres the mk3 supra!!!!!

[@Garage533Ohio]

Looks like an Ohio car, you live in Texas you definitely could of held out for a better chassis. Pretty sure the old one didn't look like this underneath either doesn't seem worth it for the wagon

[@dripperformanceandlighting5459]

Ooooofffff

[@jamespetefish5432]

yeah bro sell it and buy another one, I have faith in you but why?

[@pinoyboimikey]

Yikes. The rust is pretty bad. I would’ve sold the car.

[@wrider2]

Nice job, but too much talking.More working..

[@J2calladito]

Comment your favorite car vvvvv Also your least liked. Favorite, anything but wagons.
