Rust Repair Vauxhall Astra MK 3 Sill

[@Cavalier_Steve]

You done a very nice job there, jobs like this can easily become overwhelming, especially as you say when you start cutting you always find more rust than you first anticipated. I enjoyed the video and it’s given me a kick up the backside to do more on my MK2 Cavalier. The Astra is definitely worth the save it looks really good over all, I’m biased anyway firstly it’s a Vauxhall secondly it’s in petrol blue one of my favourite colours 😅🤦‍♂️. I will find part 2 and see what you finished up with. Thanks again, have a great weekend. Steve.

Thanks Steve for your support, this is the only Vauxhall I have owned and it’s done us proud. It’s nice to pay back its good service to my family with a bit of my time and see it back on the road where it belongs 😀. Check out my latest video after part 2 to see the happy ending. Hopefully your Cavalier will benefit from the inspiration 🔧. All the very best Steve .

@@stevesclassicgarage9464 Cheers Steve, I’m in the middle of watching your energy usage one, I pretty much agree with everything you’ve said in that video, I have a modern everyday car which I intend on running until it dies or worse… I would replace it with an older car very highly likely another Vauxhall maybe a Vectra B estate. I’ve subscribed which I thought I done yesterday, I will look forward to watching your next instalment. Cheers.

@@Cavalier_Steve thanks for the sub much appreciated running any car on a budget these days whether it’s old or new is very hit and miss so I just hope mine continue to behave themselves for the coming months of hardship we are all facing. One foot in front of the other one day at a time 👍

I got a 1997, 1.6 16V that looks just like that! Nice cars!

Hi Alex yes such a shame you can no longer keep modern cars running indefinitely like these old things. Reliable and cheap to run what’s not to like 😀

Where are you?

That looks like a lot of hours.im looking for another gsi after years away but seen seen absolute shockers

Hi Andy, luckily the rust had not spread to the inner structure especially at the rear. I feel you would need to remove the tank and rear suspension to even get to it which would only make sense on a high spec model, which would have some value when your done. Your right to spend your time looking for a better car rather than welding up a rot box 🚘🔧👍
