Rebuilding the Wheel Well & Trunk on my Salvaged GT-R

[@BisforBuild]

Before too many crazy comments come in let me explain a few things i should have in the video. 1. Its just a wheel well and some trunk sheet metal, were not working with frame rails here. 2. Although this might not look the cleanest (you'll never see it anyways), the OEM inner panels to replace everything would cost thousands of dollars and then to fit the widebody id have to cut most of them in half. So that seemed like a giant waste of time and money to me.

[@caseyn720]

Well I’ve been watching this channel for a while and I need to say I just can’t take the hackery any longer. I have seen so many things that have just made me cringe. The corner cutting just to get things finished quickly is irresponsible and unsafe. Now that you have chosen a fairly quick car to “build” I would have hoped to see some true workmanship. I liked how you put the heated seat elements into your new seats. But leaving out the airbag sensor just because you put camera gear on your seat sometimes is highly irresponsible. Use the trunk. Also I feel like since that left rear wheel well has the strut bolted to it it may need to be stronger than how you’ve made it in this video. A lot of force is focused to that strut mount area. And even if it isn’t structural and nobody will ever see it, take some pride and build it as if everybody will see it. That’s what separates the pros from the amateurs. Im not trying to bash this channel but I read a lot of comments from younger people who are probably just getting into vehicles and messing around with them. Why not show them the right way to do things. All the best but I am unsubscribing.

[@ericzochowski3749]

I agree,it doesn't matter if you cannot see it, it must look good. You won't be able to sell that car to anybody looking like that under the wheel arch. Sorry B is for build, that is how I feel about that inner fender bit you did.

[@armandssakne1868]

Those spot welds will start break one by one. Body is flexible. That is why it’s spot welded. You had to fully weld that inner quarter panel to the car. Slowly, with the compressed air. Instantly cooling the welding spots. 3-4 spot welds, filling. And so on. What you did, is wrong. You have to take sealer off, weld everything properly.

[@stuffdo_er]

Chris, you are the man. I love all your builds and how you edit. I really think you can do better when it comes to that metal work, really should of been one rolled piece for the basic arch piece. You can buy 4' x 8' sheets of cardboard to use for templates. Look into the cardboard, I use it for car audio and it allows me to make templates as big as I need.

[@SCOTTCOD4]

I’m no body work / fabrication expert but would it not have been better to rub that wheel well out with 1 sheet cut and rolled / bent and then full seam weld? While I understand nobody at all will see it, better to do the job once properly, than having to redo work again later? What’s the benefits on spot welding it to full seam weld?

[@estxcrew]

You can't really weld metal that thin in one go without things starting to bend. To get a full seam effect you'd more or less have to do bits here and there until you cover the entire seam. What you see here in the wheel well is more of a tack weld than a spot weld though. Spot welds are very strong if done correctly (as is displayed by his inability to drill out factory spot welds with a regular drill).

[@SCOTTCOD4]

estXcrew Thank you for the reply. I was thinking maybe heat and warping would of been an issue. Would ‘tubbing’ out the wheel wells been a better option? Like you see in some race cars! It would look a lot neater and less ‘breaking points’ should it ever come into another impact or something?

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

If one vent is enough,why did it have two?

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

bobbiesmulders oh I get it,two doors, two headlights ,two rear lights two seats etc etc all because of symmetry

[@begalbrew5572]

james goodwin because the designers found it easier to mirror that 3-D model, and so there wouldn't be any chance that the trunk would bounce back open before latching due to inability to evacuate the air volume inside the trunk. removing all vents would possibly cause this to happen when closed quickly or hard. One should still be plenty sufficient to vent air when closing the trunk lid.

I need to do this to my subaru 2.5rs which wasnt in a wreck but just has rust EVERYWHERE. your videos are so inspiring.

[@BullyGovJ4F7775]

Why rush the weld and fix on your year quarter panel?

[@RealCapricousCavy]

If you have some really rough surface connects, use expansion foam meant for wider gaps. I used that stuff on a winter beater Legacy that required a bunch of welded-in supports to the rear strut in place after it broke (car is too good of a runner to just junk it and only sees snow usage a couple months of the year) clean-free and had rough gaps from rust and outright missing metal. That stuff completely sealed the entire fender liner area out, sealed some big holes, etc. and the hatch area is bone dry. Can be trimmed and used sparingly, but works 100%. If used on inside seams/joints with gaps, it'll help a bunch. Can be trimmed and sealed over, painted over, etc..

[@xjrrider6710]

Wow... I would not want to be in that if it’s wrecked again. I appreciate budget but those “jiggly shapes” in each panel add a fair bit of strength. Please buy proper panels. And you do need the extra flap in the trunk area. I know you’re keeping it but... wow Can’t wait to see this finished though!

[@chrissearle7054]

It's so awesome to see you take something beyond repair and make it work. Keep up the great work and videos.

[@CryMoar_]

Omfg that wheel well are you for real xdddd

[@bmw53and85]

I work in an automotive manufacturing plant. Most of the time a repair like this is ABSOLUTELY fine. Cars are manufactured with overkill engineering. Way more spot welds than needed,sealer and adhesive as strong, or stronger than welds etc.. This is perfectly repaired.

I love to read the comments below from all the Arthur Tussiks!

[@benjohnson2183]

All the metal work on the 240 for sure prepped you for this part of the build

[@TPRPTech]

That’s not the right way to do body metal work I hope you never sell this car

[@jarsky]

hes right though, thats patchy as hell. I thought he was going to tack in those scraps to build a template and then use that to cut out proper panels

[@Norrr3]

macabru koaie big wow why does he have to be a negro?

[@ddhmc8908]

where i am from this repair would not pass inspection to go back on the road.

[@jarsky]

@@ddhmc8908 same in my country, it would require an engineering certificate which it would fail

[@infiniti37G]

Now I know. B is for BUTCHER,

[@erikmcgavin1950]

Glad you didn't get welding slag from stick welding in your eye. That's what happened to me. It ended up burning into my eye, after I got it surgically removed I was good as new :). Yes I was wearing a helmet and saftey glasses. I was working over head and it bounced.

[@RatherBeRestoring]

I'm scared to see how you are going to attach the CF fender to the home made inner fender...this build/repair definitely puts the "B" in backyard fix :)...My fav part was definitely “these seams are looking much better after they’re all sealed up”...as you then do the rapid camera movement where nobody can focus clearly on one “completed” seam...clever trick

[@geosylla7604]

Good job my friend! You're doing the best you can for save this super car from the junkyard! Be careful when you use the welding machine! 😜

[@shawnlandry1636]

Just amazing how far you skills have come from the plan A BRZ

[@fredjay1531]

Shawn Landry for better or for the worse? I hope you mean the latter

[@WarpDriveM]

To connect the wheel well with the quarter panel use windshield glue! That's very hard and flexible at the same time and it won't be affected by water!

[@asusreviews]

It seems disrespectful to me to rebuild a $100K car (when new) with a hack job wheel well job. Just because no one is going to see it isn't an excuse to do sloppy work.

[@Drev222]

That was a great episode, I was really interested in seeing how you would fix that damage. I was impressed with the way you re-manufactured the damaged sections. Can't wait to see the next one!

[@martynasgabdankas987]

Arthur Tussik will not approve this repair....

[@bobroberts2371]

Kyle Specifically what repair vid?

[@bobroberts2371]

I was looking for the specific technique he employs that you feel is unacceptable.

[@1gt4dude]

Pretty cool what you're doing with rescuing wrecks on your own in your own garage, can't wait to see it/hear it shake down.

[@christerc3969]

Wow man why didnt you use prefab parts!!??

[@GaryEISINGER]

Incredible job !!! I wouldnt bet on this part when you showed thé car for thee first time, and you did it !! Nice job !!! Congrats
