REAR QUARTER PANEL WELDED UP - 89 CLASSIC MINI RESTORATION

[@patadamson4005]

That air gun trick works a treat mate. Good to see some more mini action 😉

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks Pat yeah it definitely seemed to work well. Cheers for watching 👍

[@graemew7001]

Well worth the time and effort to keep the panel distortion free, saves time in the end and produces a better end result.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks Graeme it didnt go to bad for sure. Guess what I have it all over again to do on the other side 🤣

[@MattGreenWorks]

Nice collection of new panels there

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yes mate nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks buddy 👍

[@mikeuk1954]

What gets me with all these repairs on old Mini's is how do you know the car is staying square and true. Always wondered that 🤔

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Loads of measurements and praying I think. I guess we can only do what we can 👍

[@mikeuk1954]

@@SimpsonsClassics thanks. Really appreciate anyone who is keeping these cars on the road. The work involved is unimaginable. Great work.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks Mike I appreciate that. I guess we all do what we can. Cheers for watching 👍

[@GT.Bugger]

Nice repair, ive stayed away from using air to cool the welds, heard it can add moisture. Not sure how true it is but kinda makes sense unless you run filters etc.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy, I have never heard that. But I guess unless you run a filter it’s a possibility. Lucky I do run a water trap. Very valid point though mate 👍

[@shovelrickshovelhead8713]

Thanks

[@tobymiddleton6763]

Love your work. I've got exactly this job to do and as usual you're showing me how to do it! I wasn't sure how the stiffener was meant to fit so it was good to see that. Can you tell me where you source your nightfire red? Is it a good match?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Glad to have been some help buddy. It was all new to me and took some fitting for sure. I get this stuff from Halfords it’s a decent Match only been using it for all my closing bits but it’s nice to know it’s all sealed up. Cheers for watching 👍

@@SimpsonsClassics you're very modest. Looking forward to seeing more 😀

Which rust remover/converter do you use ?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

I have recently changed to using something called Fertan which is being covered in tonight’s video buddy 👍

[@isaacdenston-flynn3577]

Thanks , I’m doing up a 1996 mini equinox so just looking at what is best to kill off a lot of the rust , appreciate the reply

[@SimpsonsClassics]

@@isaacdenston-flynn3577 no worries buddy hammerite kurrust is decent but this new stuff I am trying seems really decent very impressed with it so far.
