XW falcon rust repair part 3

[@poydapoyderson646]

You’re a real craftsmen. If only repaired classics with ‘no rust’ were all done to your standard. Like the format👍

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Beautiful results with that spot welder, looks like it gives your upper body a good workout without the support cable, but well worth it, looking like a production line video but better . Top quality work mate !

[@onedayiwillmakesomecontent]

Time lapse gets to the point. Can watch while washing the dishes! Haha. Cheee-rist, I hope that thing is at least a GS! What a colander! Good job 👍

[@colinmaxwell5481]

Mate you’re a legend! New digs and new energy!! Great work.

[@tonykluytmans5336]

Saw the work on Facebook and now the video, awesome to watch. Doing the XW owner a great service

[@terrenceseymour]

What a bloody machine! And the spot welder. Stunning work yet again mate.

[@nathan2483]

Pretty happy with the new format. Maybe a little more explanation about what you’re doing would be beneficial. Maybe a guide to how you approach the job before you start and a couple of pointers for us amateurs would be awesome

[@xacoupeguy]

im trying to find a new balance in the format i realised i need more talk i may have gone from one extreme to another haha

[@nathan2483]

@@xacoupeguy hey, you’ve got to start somewhere! Even the cleetus channel wasn’t very polished until a few years ago!

[@knight2425]

Wow, that spot welder looks the bees knees, would save heap of time and give closer OEM look. Love the updates

[@markorlando4817]

Absolutely fascinating watching that repair, had no idea there were so many different pieces that go to make that front corner. No wonder they rust. I’d love to be able to do that.

[@erikv86]

Using a lock as a backing plate is a great idea.

[@pnr9730]

Awesome again mate. I do cars up to top up my army pension and as a back yard hack you have helped me learn more cheers.

[@michaelbyrnes7944]

Nice work that’s one way of doing a xw xy I did a older xr falcon in a similar way but I had the car on a chassis rack hand made the inner sill panels put new talk boxes on and new outta sill’s only real difference was I trail fitted the doors and checked the gaps before I fully welded it all together and the bottoms of the pillars weren’t rusted like your one was

[@deerashy]

Your very good at what you do.👌👌

[@trevormclaren480]

Im always excited to watch your next episode very impressed with your work mate ... keep it up

[@wazheamadman6086]

Awesome work as always mate. This is just my opinion I like watching your videos either way . But I’d love it you did some time laps then explained a little about how you went about doing that but then abit more time laps. Obviously doing it this way I guess would take a lot more time to produce I’m tipping. Awesome job as always. I can’t believe some of the t shirts you wear while working some of them are to good for that haha👍👍👍👍

[@tonypuskadjia868]

Excellent work Graham. 😁👌👌

[@earbus1]

Was cool to see so much get done in one hit , very cool the customer will be happy . Could offer a video log of repairs cheers.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Such good work there mr , you get a bit of a work out with that spot welder hey 👍👍

[@xacoupeguy]

Its not too bad if you can use the support beem but without it gets heavy fast haha

[@TigerRogers0660]

Mastercraftsman at work!!!!

[@XEFairmont]

I bet you gave the spot welder a little hug after you turned the camera off.🤣

[@xacoupeguy]

We shared a special cuddle yes haha

[@markwilkinson2689]

Awesome work mate..

[@spotto4l564]

Looks like your having fun with the new toys 👌

[@gregpaterno1446]

Hi graham looks like you love that spot welder 👌🏼🇦🇺💪🏼👍🏽what a finished job unbelievable buddy love the disc gaping

[@xacoupeguy]

it was cut with a disc so it needs to have the same gap to ensure its back where it was. and oh yeah i love the new welder

[@boss351gt6]

Yeah I reckon the time lapses are good. Weekly shop updates are cool too. Also why do all my favourite channels play the same music haha. Good stuff mate

[@xacoupeguy]

pritty much get stuck with the same music as to avoid copyright strikes etc..

[@darrencrebert405]

Luv ur work, would.like a explanation of how to fit panels and things to look out for and beware off. You make it look so easy, im certain it isnt and would luv to learn more. Thanks for the videos.

[@xacoupeguy]

Yeah I was trailing a different format for videos but I can add in some talking again

[@adoodadood5790]

Good work mate

[@carlf8291]

You do good work.keep the videos coming love watching them.

[@kevinrandall6769]

Having that spot welder sure as hell makes up for not having a plasma cutter, I wish that I had one could have used it the other day

[@tonyj4782]

Hey bud it’s excellent to see your dedication towards all your work, and good to see that you are giving a positive light to the industry. Just have a couple of questions, and Please don’t take this as a criticism. when you were putting on the xw sill panel. I noticed that you cut the pillars flush and not staggered. And do a pre-fit with the doors to check door gaps to the sill. Be for you welded the sill in place. Once again not a criticism thanks

[@xacoupeguy]

hard to see but i can 100% assure you all the piller cuts are staggered. and i appreciate all the comments now unfortunately the customer did not bring down any doors but the car has been braced to the tenth degree and alot and i mean alot of measurements were taken from the otherside to ensure everything is where it should be including i deliberately left a smidgen of the old sill panel at the back to ensure the correct height. cheers for the comment!

[@paullang1961]

hey big fella them spots look cold but we know there not ay Graham keep on truckin mate

[@xacoupeguy]

I had it set higher than it should and I do periodically do destructive tests to see if its still working well

[@thebigw3377]

Impressive mate 👍

[@TAVOTravsDIYGarage]

Top job! The spot welder looks very heavy when you’re not using the cable. Just be careful of your back. Take it from someone who knows.

[@xacoupeguy]

The main gun is like 35kgs haha and I had to put it down due too it being heavy

[@brianfarmiloe678]

That is going cost $20,000 in rust repairs, with all that work, but worth it

[@pandrew2081]

so for example once you close the B piller bottom cap to the sill i see you epoxy the bare steel and how will you treat the inside of the B piller now its closed up? Hmmm...theres a thought aye.

[@nathanobrien6875]

Loving it!

[@DP-vh9qk]

Awesome job mate. How much does that spot welder save you plug welding and grinding!!

[@xacoupeguy]

no words can describe the time and money saved not to mention not getting covered in metal filings after grinding down over 100 plug welds

[@DP-vh9qk]

@@xacoupeguy great investment mate. Onwards and upwards. I need a Grahams Restos / XA Coupe guy stubby holder.....whens the merch coming?

[@xacoupeguy]

@@DP-vh9qk merch is a matter of money i simply dont have at the moment as soon as im no longer poor merch will be on its way i promise

[@kerrynball2734]

Very impressive. If you want to do an aside video. Factory Spot Weld vS Your Spot Weld vS plug weld strength showdown.

[@xacoupeguy]

Not a bad idea really but I think it would trigger alot of keyboard heros haha

[@spagooter7901]

A plug weld if done properly would be the strongest

[@turloughoflynn6689]

Hey mate where did you buy the complete sills from? Cheers

[@xacoupeguy]

i believe they were sourced from rarespares

[@richardkearney1989]

sick shit Graham

[@bigears4426]

I'd rather a grinder than that music or a bit off talking

[@xacoupeguy]

Unfortunately due to copyright rules I dont have much choice in music
