VW Golf IV project car! Welding the rocker panel and painting for the first time! P5

[@stp_m]

you've just saved a golf from scrap yard! it looks perfect! good job!

[@rwthomas1]

Nice DIY repair. As these cars a age they don't warrant the cost of pro repairs. You repair is about the best possible result using the basics and attention to detail. My only suggestion is fog the interior of those rockers with an anti corrosion oil. This will greatly prolong the return of the rust. Great job.

[@Carfanatic-kt8rr]

now that you can weld and paint you can start doing "rebuild" series! that's the trend on internet now! you've done really good on this golf!

[@Mike-anic]

Word of advice, when painting a car. You need to account for "Blending" .... so what that means is that you will "overspray" onto an area that has already been previously painted, but it'll be a 'light' coat. This will help blend the new colour into the old. As the old colour is UV damaged and age damaged you can't get an exact match. I'm not a bodyman, I have just gained experience from Bodymen. Either way, great job, just minor mistakes, nothing that I'd ever worry about as a DIYer over all, but blending is a very important part of the job as it'll hide any 'differences' in colour! This is especially important for metallic paints as the metal filings in the paint from the can will be entirely different than those from the factory, since it's all usually either "DIPPED" or Multi-arm sprayed

[@markd3z]

Wow, I'm impressed....good job!!

[@WarpDriveM]

I'm impressed myself 😂😂😂 maybe I'm gonna try to do this kind of work for the next projects

[@mybengalcat87]

Congratulations!

[@firevortex8312]

Dude this is perfect vid thx...just picked up a mk4 with similar repair needed on the side.

[@Fros002]

I love it, congrats on the repair. Amazingly done with no experience in welding and painting! :)

[@jonnymiller6173]

This looks great. I’m getting ready to do this to my jetta. Thank you for the video

[@stevecooper6653]

Nice job young man 👌🏻👌🏻doing the same on my old BM 535i V8 1999 msport.but fitting FULL BOX SILLS TO BOTH SIDES.

[@a17des]

Great work for a first time at welding we need to do this soon both sides.

[@WarpDriveM]

Thank You and good luck 👍

[@Dbbs3bg]

Wow, a dude who does this properly on KZbin with no foam at all... insane

[@WarpDriveM]

Ha ha...I know, the foam is becoming a trend....or it is already a trend! Thx for your appreciation 👍

[@Hendrie1975]

Nice job, can is ask you what you use for that texture and protection?

[@HcHeerenveen]

Nice fix! Good job man

[@bravarijastrbac9822]

On 10:29 you mention you can’t use your hamd like factory. Next time get the small roler 5cm and after applying that protective texture go very very slow with roller and you will get those results.And line I think you know that use the yellow tape. You done a very good job on that golf. Greetings from Croatia.

[@WarpDriveM]

Thx for watching and for the tips! 🍻

[@iplaybose]

thats excellently done brother! i need to do this to my golf 5

[@dorel9647]

That's impressive!!!!

[@dontworryidoit8798]

Well done mate! Looks awesome Just about to start my own 😍

[@daneru]

I guess if the lifting points are collapsing, i have to strengthen the inner panel too.

[@dajazu]

Hi there, thank you for your video. I would like to ask what size welding wire are you used 0.6 or 0.9? Also what settings on your weld machine i think i have exactly sime weld parkside machine. Thanks

[@WarpDriveM]

Hi, I think was 0.9 welding wire, the exact setting not sure now but test on a metal with the same thickness before you start welding

[@dajazu]

@@WarpDriveM thank you for your quick reply

[@03056932]

​@@WarpDriveMwas this a stick welder or mig? Did you just weld it in several places or did you seam weld it?

Very nice. Love it

[@powerpower1797]

very well done.

[@georgebayley8093]

Great job. Question, where did you buy the rocker panel, and how much?

[@tonedcos]

Nice job, you can stipple the paint with a roller or pad.

Great job i have exactly the same problem on the same side and i also want to fix it myself i'm a welder so thats nobproblem but can i just ask you where did you order the part my friend I hope you reply soon, thank you

[@tohuss]

where did you get that rocker panel piece? i can only find the whole piece for the front and back

[@WarpDriveM]

As you can see in the thumbnail I bought as well a hole piece front to back and I've cut it to length.

Thank you 😊

[@mybigbackyard741]

is the pinch weld still usable as jacking point?

[@WarpDriveM]

Yes. It is part of the under structure. I didn't cut in there. The rocker panel is just the exterior part.(shell)

[@rianismaili3430]

On what website did you buy the rockerpanel because i have the same damage on my golf thanks man you did well btw

[@WarpDriveM]

I think on Ebay

[@kristofferkorneliussen893]

Very nice work for being ypur first time welding. I would definetly not get the same result x)

What kind of welder do you use in video? Flux core or gas shielded?

Flux core. Something really cheap but works just fine If is set right.

how long did the whole project take start to finish? I'm about to start this lol

[@WarpDriveM]

After I had all the parts I've cut the bad part welded the new one, use some epoxy and waited till next day to dry out. After that bondo and paint all in the 2nd day. But if you want to do it all at once you will need at least 6 hours and nice weather to dry the bondo and the paint.
