my mechanics insights's video: Fixing the Wobbling Tailgate on my Datsun 240Z

In this video I'm showing how I fixed the oil can effect on the tailgate on my datsun 240Z. Everytime you push the lock to open the tailgate the sheet will get pushed in as well. At first I thought something was broken off or defect, but turns out it was most likely like that from the factory. The sheet is just very flat there and not solid enough to withstand the force from pushing the lock. The flat support piece on the backside doesn't really help either. I removed the support piece first, then removed all the rust down to bare metal. I applied some weld through primer for rust protection. I made a new support piece out of 1mm steel. To give it extra strength I've bent the edges up and also made the piece longer to support the whole length. To avoid any warping of the outer shell, I only welded it to the backside. This solution worked very well and the tailgate is now rock solid around the lock. I hope you like my work and enjoy the video.
