Thanks for the support and putting our parts to such good use!!

No, thank you!! Without your service/products we wouldn’t be able to help keep these old cars looking great. Excited to try out the shock towers soon! Ive been hand making them over the years, a pre made unit will be great for the customers.

awesome video as always. the rust repair videos are my favorites. so impressive the difference that can be made. I would watch an hour plus of content like this. cole is lucky to learn from someone so knowledgable!

Curious what a ballpark cost would be on something like this? My 07 STi Limited is getting rusty from 14 years in eastern Ontario/western Quebec. Not quite as bad as the one in the video.

as someone who is attempting to restore a car on my own these videos are priceless! Thanks for sharing your techniques with us. What type of expoxy are you painting your patch panels with? Also, have you ever covered fender rolling or how to reconstruct an inner rear fender in any of your videos? Last question, any advice on removing the 4 dreaded rear subframe bolts?

@TheSubieSanctuary 9 ай бұрын

Done lots of fender well repairs but haven’t gone deep into them. I will on next candidate though! We use ppg versolon cre 92x As for the rear subframe bolts, if they spin in the frame, if you can then cut them to remove frame. Then drill straight up through the bolt holes on the frame and into the floor, then with a step bit, make a 1 inch hole and you can later nut and bolt it

I love these videos, really good work. My bugeye luckily has barely any "frame or body" rust, mostly replaceable subframe and suspension. Hope it survives more midwest winters before I can get it fixed.

Cherish it my dude, and get it oil sprayed to preserve 🙌

@ChasePhilport 9 ай бұрын

Dang i wish. Both my bugeyes are completely blown. 20 years of michigan winter will do that... Spray that jawn. I use woolwax on my forester. Even if you don't sand before, anything makes such a noticable difference for salty roads.

Don’t leave us hangin!! Awesome work as usual! Realistically, what’s your lead time for customer jobs? My 07 Impreza is going to be a long project for me, but I’d love you guys to do the paint work.

@kelbywalter2498 9 ай бұрын

excellent work!!! What product do you use to epoxy the insides of the new pannels? is it just epoxy primer not sprayed? also, when affixing the rear 1/4s to the inner wheel-house, do you weld it and seam seal it? Spot Weld? Cavity wax? I've been using 3M pannel bond do do the insides of the 1/4 pannels in lieu of welding to make sure its 100% water tight... this only works if the pannels fit 100% of course. Curious to hear your thoughts

@TheSubieSanctuary 9 ай бұрын

Using ppg versolon cre-92x Ya thats a good method for the 1/4 seam. They are tricky especially if pre rolling fender. I did the seam the best i could then urethane seam sealer. Then yes, I always spray in fluid film into the panels after paint. Its a wax/oil base, does a good job

@dukeofnyd1 9 ай бұрын

Also, after coating everything in the brush on epoxy, i thought youd panel bond them on instead of welding. Seems to me itd be faster, less warp, less burning. Always interesting to see others techniques. Your work looks great, thanks for sharing!

@TheSubieSanctuary 9 ай бұрын

Maybe some stuff would be ok with panel bond, but i just dont trust it everywhere. If using panel bond youd have to plan out your patches from the start. All would need an overlap. All these were butt welded so no turning back after that

Wow... I was wondering at what point it stops being worth doing all this work? Isn't better just finding a base model donor shell in much better condition and swapping over all the parts? Just saying.. Regardless, amazing work as always guys!

@TheSubieSanctuary 9 ай бұрын

The truth is: its NEVER worth doing this. There is zero return in doing something like this. The reason to do it is because you just want to. For this one, a re shell and re paint would have ended up same cost in the end. We have a re shell vs repair project coming up in the fall. Will be a good example

@JuuS0 9 ай бұрын

"Not that bad" *cuts 35% of the car off*. Have you found any downsides of plug welding rocker panels rather than spot welding them?

@TheSubieSanctuary 9 ай бұрын

For the bottom, higher heat for good penetration and As long as welds are covered with epoxy after then your safe. If i had a spot welder id definitely be using it along bottoms
