Rusty Car Sheet Metal Repair… Car Sill Repair/BMW E46 Jacking Point Welding for MOT

Bmw e46 330d rusty front jacking point repair/sill repair.

[@DARTraderMediaProductions]

Nice job, I bought a Nissan Vanette off a mate years ago, only needs a patch on the drivers floor for the MOT he said. I spent 6 weeks under that thing welding, just when you think your done screwdriver finds another hole. Made a decent van in the end and made good money out of it when I sold it, couldn't keep it cost too much in welding wire and gas, I swear the bloody thing rotted faster than you could weld it up. 😀😀😀

[@PeteBeardsley]

That's J tin for you dude! 🤣

Chasing it round with a welder, like chasing the Forth Bridge with a paint brush.

Took off my side skirts on mine today a tiny bit of rust on one side but alot on the other side where yours is ..need to have a better look..thanks for uploading your video, really helps.

@@dRew-something luckily the sill covers are plastic and hide all the shit underneath 😂

[@LopacGaming]

Cheers dude!!! Impressive. I’m in the same boat with my e46. Do you jack it up from the point you repaired now? Thank you!!!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers mate. Yea the jacking point is decent enough to use now.

[@leighturner9303]

Nice work - it was like watching a video of how I've been repairing my shitbox.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

What shitter are you welding up?

[@turnerscarsUK]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos it's a 1999 Ford Fiesta! It's a first car project (not for me 😂), but the sills are rusted and it's the first time I'm welding

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@turnerscarsUK good luck, make sure you have a few spare reels of mig wire…

[@tomthompson7400]

a strip of metal tacked behing that to edge before you started to weld the patch in would have saved you a lot of grief , works as a backing strip ,,, in NI we have to seam weld all repairs and leave bare for inspection ,,, the other thing i would suggest , no no no cavity way ,, go google ACF50,, does the same job , only better , seriously better and wont burn , if its good enough for helicopters , its good enough for cars ,,, it even smells nice .just needs a squirt again every couple of years ... I do lots of this sor of work , usually on Range Rovers l322 at the moment , same jack point only a lot rougher to fix on rears ,,, petrol ones its tank out , drop rear subframe , full exhaust , side steps inner arch liners and sill covers etc etc etc , its brutal work , and no decent repair panel , complex compound curves and double skin , and make the parts your self ,,,,,,,,, still , it paid for my audi.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

MOT rules are same here, but if it’s originally spot welded like where the sill joins the floor then you can spot it, other than that it has to be welded all the way round. We sell ac50 at work, good stuff.

[@widgetty22]

Well done! 👍

Great video got the same thing with a e91

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers. What year of e91? My dads got a 2009 e92, and I’m hoping I don’t have to do the same on that any time soon!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@shanemartingreenan fair enough, what engine?

[@shanemartingreenan]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos n47 2.0 ltr diesel engine is still going strong the alternator went the other week and when i took the old one off it was still on the the oem one

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@shanemartingreenan that’s because on a 2006 it should be an M47, they go forever. If it was the n47 the timing chain would have failed by now 🤣

[@Gourmondise]

As long as it is pass the MOT then it is good!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

That’s the one.

[@alandhbstard]

How did you get the plug out of the jacking point in the end? I’ve tried prying with a screwdriver but I’ve just destroyed the plug.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

I just pulled the centre pin out of the plug, then the plug pulls out. It’s like a big plastic rivet/panel clip.

[@alandhbstard]

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideosthanks, followed your advice and it came out. Legend!

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

@@alandhbstard sweeeeeet

[@4x719]

Nice workmanship! What thickness steel did you use?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Cheers. Just 1mm like the stuff that came off

[@michaelsmith3017]

What can I use to stop bubbling and rust ? I see also rusted bolts any ideas ?

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

If I had the answer to that, I’d be a very rich man. All you can do is coat/seal it as best possible tbh.

[@mrjoe5661]

BTW I got a new phone so I can now comment on your vids instead of having to use Instagram! 😆

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Nice one! 😊

[@600raficrow]

gotta do similar on a citroen c2 lol .. maybe i should video it lol

Why not? 🤷‍♀️

Disappointing video dude. Very disappointing. No glassfibre, no body filler not even any fire. I may have to reconsider my subscription.

[@StupidBlokeStupidVideos]

Sorry about that, I’ll try to do better next time.

While it's got a full ticket, sell it! And buy a volvo. 🤓
