Unfortunately, the 48 hour welding challenge did not go ahead!
In this video, we take a step back from the ambitious 48-hour challenge to address a hurdle that many MX-5 and Miata owners will recognize right away (check the thumbnail for a hint!).
We'll be tackling the inner sill and prepping the sill end plate lip mount points and then fitting the sill end plate!
We'll talk about;
Identifying common MX-5 rust problems
Preparing inner sills for repair
Ensuring proper sill end plate placement
Leave a comment below and let me know what MX-5 rust challenges you're facing!
Also this is more of an uncut video with less timelapses, and more discussion while working. Let me know if this is a nice change or not!
Thanks to everyone enjoying the series so far!

Hope you guys are enjoying this cleaner more raw type of video, sorry about my thick accent and mumbling I'll try and be clearer in the future. Anything you guys want to see just let me know.

I'm looking into starting the same body work on my eclipse gsx. Videos like these are an inspiration while I'm taking the car apart to locate the rust. Keep up the good work, looking forward to future videos!

Hey thanks Philip! I'm starting to learn that the rust is the easier part compared to paint! Aha will have a couple of videos up this week if you fancy learning from my mistakes, I'll always do my best to be as transparent as possible!

Hey thanks for checking out the more recent videos, I appreciate it! I think this is the last video before I have the action cam for pov shots as well 🎉

Doing well, still can’t figure out how you make sense of those internal panels but every wee bit makes it look more like a finished job…. Keep it up.

Not sure what drill bit you are using for the spot welds but you can get a specific one that might make life a little easier, maybe also a couple of welding magnets to help hold parts in place and give a bit more space in place of the clamps. That’s some proper mansplaining from someone who hasn’t tried it….. 😂

@@bernardtrainor7077I have magnets 🧲 but I find that they are good for larger pieces with more surface area, they are such a pain because they get covered with swarth 😂 yes I'm using spotweld bits as well 😅 both types actually the circular cutter bit and the ground stub drill bit for marking it just is that much of a pain lol thanks for watching Bernard I'm glad you are enjoying my struggles 😂

hi good work, can i ask what settings your using on your rtech 180 for body panels, im forever blowing through

@WeeJinterz 28 күн бұрын

Hi Paul thanks, I am using around 3-4 on voltage and wirespeed, I can blow through if I don't have a good earth or if the metal is not clean enough. I also use a co2 argon hobbyweld 5 mix and tend to use about 25cuft (i use a bit more gas with thinner material) and 0.8 wire. Could try stepping down to 0.6 wire? And make sure you have a few mm exposed and tip close but not touching.

I am as well but we get better, check my latest video I think there is some photos of my first attempts 🤣 try tacking first and foremost with a 15 degree angle then let off as soon as goes red when looking through lens.
