Rusty CAR BODY Restoration. I used MMA inverter (Stick WELDER) + Paint ROLLER

This video shows the entire process of restoring the rusty part of the car.
I performed metal welding with an MMA inverter.
The painting was done with a construction roller without professional equipment.
This car two years later (3 winter): • Restoration with Stick...
I'm happy with the result! Thank you for watching.

To me it does not look easy. But it is presented clearly and systematically and so provided the job is approached with the correct preparation and tools and working environment it could be done by someone with affinity for mechanical / construction / DIY. But I have done many jobs just like this and it is indeed a LOT of work. What is always frightening is how much worse the (rust) damage usually is behind the visible section!

Man, no matter how many people say it's impossible or you'll ruin the metal. The skill decides

[@billgwilliam1263]

I did a lot of repairs on my old cars years ago using a 90 amp stick welder running 1.6 & sometimes 2 mm rods. It can be done at low amps if you tack & don’t try to get “runs” having said that I progressed to a mig later- much easier. Getting the right shape on the patch panels was the key as was good access.

[@ratgreen]

If you can afford to, get a gas mig. Flux core leaves acidic residue from the flux on the backs of welds where you cant get to them to clean them etc and makes them rust out faster, as well as being very messy and splatter going everywhere. I nearly did my repairs (check my yt) with flux but I'm so glad I didnt.

[@lebecky_restoration]

Thanks! But i'm a newbie))

[@darkfactory8082]

You nailed it. The electrode could be a 1,6mm, but it works also 2mm with a bit less amps. If you're planning more of those repairs, I suggest you invest in a mig gas shielded machine, not a big one, as you usually use 0.6 to 0.8mm wire. It gives you the cleanest weld possible and you can control it precisely. Other than that, who never did some DIY crafting!? =) Cheers.

[@lebecky_restoration]

Thanks for your advice! Of course, I want to buy a mig gas shielded machine, because my mma machine is not designed for such work) It was quite difficult to do this restoration))

[@darkfactory8082]

@@lebecky_restoration No problem, you're welcome. I checked a bit and you can get a decent 150 amps mig for 250E, which is a combination of MMA/Mig, and a brand new one. Also a used is a good compromise. Anyway don't aim for the absolute cheapest machines, as those usually lack real power. I had an opportunity to test out a small, cheap 180 amps MMA machine (some "pocket" version) which was 130 or 140E, I don't remember exactly, although it was claimed 180 amps it was struggling with a 2,5mm electrode. I have a pro 200/160 ac/dc tig/MMA and it goes ok with a 4mm electrode. It also depends on the electrode. For ease of use and start it's better to use some rutile electrodes, otherwise for stronger, better quality and cleaner joints it's better basic, but also depends. If you start with a hobby rutile you're golden! =) Cheers.

[@lebecky_restoration]

[@StewSims]

Nice video. Back in the day people used to weld their cars with MMA all the time. Of course MIG welding took over as it is much easier. But it is possible to weld panels as you have here. For structural strength you really need a continuous seam which is very difficult to do without blowing holes. The smallest electrodes and a lot of patience will help! Ultimately for thin body panels it just makes a lot more sense to use a MIG welder. But MMA is a great skill to have and for heavier gauge parts like chassis cross members it will work fine. I haven't done any welding in a few years, but I really must brush up on my skills. It's great therapy working on a car if you have the time!

[@dont-want-no-wrench]

yes, everyone should be able to get usable results (though maybe not on sheet metal, that takes some extra skill) with an AC stick welder.

[@malachy1847]

@@dont-want-no-wrench If If you haven't that skill, Plug welding may be the route to go down, as for an AC plant if you can push out the boat a plant with a Rectifier gives a more stable arc but it all depends on your funds...

[@lebecky_restoration]

H ello Mark! Thank you for your feedback. I am very pleased) Really, I am not a professional welder. I don't have much experience. Before this, I only welded metal fencing for the house (3 days)))) In this video I used 2.0 mm welding rods, but I think that 1.6 mm would be better (I could not buy 1.6 mm) My advice is to use thicker metal standard. The standard panel was 1.1 mm. Those parts that had to be made again, I used 1.5-1.7 mm. The outer panel was less than 1 mm. Such metal is very difficult to weld. But I did it too and I think it’s good enough) This video was filmed at the end of 2021. More than 6 months have passed. Everything is fine! p.s. If I have made mistakes, please forgive me.

Very well done, but you need to increase the surface area of the weld tacks. Until you can buy a MIG (gas or gassless) if you lap your patch, point the tip of the electrode down onto the shoulder of the lap and keep a really close arc length. FYI, Amazon are doing an instalments offer to buy an inverter MIG. Again, very well done!
