Basket case?

Cheers mate. Il look into getting one. Not looking to put alot of money into a mig just now, and they seem quite cheap and by looking at your welds they look spot on. If i can get them half as as good as that il be chuffed. 0.5 wire you using ?

Any MIG Welder will be quite adequate Will, its just practice you need! i use 0.6mm MIG wire

wats thee up to lark,looks lark thes gettin ther now lad
few ard trannys for thee to practice thy welding skills on here?

Phyllis, where you been, missed the crack lol no thanks plenty to weld here, just weigh your Trannys in, there probably ahll shite anyway lol

Id agree on the practice mate. Hope you don't mind me asking, but what thickness is the sheet metal your using for most of the work on the car?

Evening all, well done some more graft this weekend, heres a few pics!

Firstly the bottom of the windscreen channel was cut away to rid the rot, flange showing is the dashboard lip.


Next i fabricated two 90 degree channel sections.



Next the two sections were offered up.



Then tacked into place.




When happy, it was fully welded up.



The weld was then ground back and dressed, and a coat of acid etch primer applied to keep the steel protected.




Finally a big thanks to Ruddy for the advise on this part of the job, as this was a bit of a challenge.

Cheers

Daz
