G223's Mk 2 more door

[G223]

The deadlines been set, 28th feburary 2010, at this date the car must be driving on the road again, Ive splashed out and bought a new welder and mask, jack and axle stands and Ive got 4 days booked off work which, along with time off from college, will give me 2 weeks of solid working where I wont be touching any one elses car and just focusing on gettting "Sheila" back on the road.

Its a mig welder, most common welder around it uses argosheild light gas from BOC, cost me £470 + 50 for the auto darkening mask and then another £70 for the bottle of gas.

then I moved on a little more and decided to make up the 1/4 bumpers while I was figuring out best way to tackle the floor

they look good, but if you can get an old rear bumper, you can use the ends of the rear bumper, to make the esds of the quarter bumpers looks like genuine ones.

car lokos good,

in greece we call this welder argon because of the name of the gas it uses

and here it costs the double money..
