You are a real master, Mike.

[@michaelboisselle8590]

Mike i freaking love you lol, when you started working on the ghia you clearly said that you were just going to weld the panels on and you didn't have interest or time to mess with it any further, and I knew you'd never let that ghia leave without finishing it lol you're the best, keep up the great work and keep posting

[@johnfreeman1189]

I like your reasoning on the rust repairs. The car will probably be pampered this time around. The car will still be around for another 60 plus years!

[@msmith1736]

I can’t believe how lucky I am that folks like you and CT make these great videos just I am digging into my 68 Ghia! Thank you!

[@martinharris5017]

I'm sure the owner will be very pleased with the workmanship on these repairs. Hopefully this car will now be around for many years to come being enjoyed and admired.

[@stephenhenion8304]

That " once over" wash job really elevated the looks of the car. Great to see your progress and great to watch you attack the body work!! Thanks again!!!

[@guillermonieri4203]

Very practical. Thank you.

[@samperras]

Good job mate

[@michelecrown2426]

Getting closer to getting back to your own project 😁

[@donalddenning2383]

ROI is spot on. Surprising to see rust to ready transformation.

[@jagnuts1]

love your work I have just been doing my door shuts on my Karmann Ghia

[@rustyr-garage5667]

Bravoooo Mike 👍👍👍

[@HubertusSchaper]

Hi Mike,No body will ever no it`s hidden behind the bumper anyway so what?? I think it wass the best solution to do the rust repair.Great padgework.Greetings-Hubertus.🇺🇸🇳🇴Norway salut^s you.☮️👍🏻

[@mikelove9832]

Thanks !

[@LakesideAutobody]

Great video Mike - I like the honesty throughout the video. Looks great and I think will last a long time if you add the drainage holes - without the sitting water, it'll be fine for many years. Have a great week :)

[@williamtanner1372]

I'm amazed each time I see these repairs. Tack it on, trim it a little, whack it with a hammer, and ta da, factory perfect. The axle nut pin is different. I'd like to see you actually mix AG47. Maybe make a short vid of how and what you do to mix glaze and filler.

[@DismayingObservation]

I’m always amused about your “good enough” comments. The end result is fantastic. You’re right about there not being many left. There are a couple of “late models” out my way. It’s fun to see them.

[@garymallard4699]

It wasn't deserving of a better patch repair anyways...it has hundreds ( thousands probably ) of hours of repair/prep work to make it worthy of perfect panel repairs.....it is what it is...and won't get done most likely anyways....looks neglected and sitting too long

[@redshirt-scotty]

nice. the work and the music. (silent music is the best)

[@FIGGY65]

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how you get stuff DONE in the world of reason !!! Cool repair Mike. Thanks for sharing as always. Looks like an original pearl white or light gray car??

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

👍👍👍👍

somebody LOOK, facebook market place, 1969 Volkswagen karmann ghia, Listed 3 weeks ago in Newport News, VA

[@vayabroder729]

I recall you could get those replacement panels many years ago; not sure if they’re available nowadays. My first car was a ‘69 and it had rust in the same places. They all rust exactly the same. Those pockets are a good place to spray Rust Converter.

[@Mikefngarage]

yea I did that too.

[@vayabroder729]

@@Mikefngarage This car is going to last; especially if stored and driven appropriately like you said.

[@Mikefngarage]

@@vayabroder729 for sure.

[@garymallard4699]

You can spends days in one area when they are that rusty....there is a point of no return if you get too fussy ...one extra repair leads to 10 more around it....CT should get a look at it?? He could tear it apart quickly!! 😆

[@Mr.-Wint]

But you are never the less in luck if rocker panels are in good shape, - they usually are notorious !

[@jimmywilkinson9190]

Hey Mike! So what paint color are yall going to use ?

[@vayabroder729]

Original color looks cool.
