Mr Sam Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 its my second evning with a mig i poked the sill with a screw driver, then an angle grinder then got a bit carried away..... i couldnt give a toss what it looks (and there wont be a carpet covering it ) but is it a total and utter bodge? ive given it some abuse with the chipping hammer then the claw hammer then jumped up and down on it... its solid all right ooooooooooh dear what have i got myself into note the small section to the left of the shiney bit,,,crafted out of the foot of some scafolding, the shiny bit is galvanised steel just cut and banged to shave with the surface ground down heres where i am now its a right mess but it aint gonna bnudge what do the pro's amoungst us think?
shortie Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 i thought i was looking at the surface of the moon on that last pic!!
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 what do the pro's amoungst us think? that your mig has run out of gas?
Twinkle Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 what do the pro's amoungst us think? that your mig has run out of gas? thats what i thought, also m8 what were you doing with a chipping hammer? or are you arc welding?
john_3.0s Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 get the grinder on that and clean it up mate, youd be amazed how you tidy things up. Looks like you dont have any gas m8!
over_head_cam Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Flux core wire? Makes a fookin mess don't it If the weld is solid, scrub a bit of underseal over it - JD
MK2STOO Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 Get some brushable seam sealer it hides a multitude of sins
Mr Sam Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Posted April 1, 2007 yeah i was to tight to buy a gas mig but then today realised gasless wire is more expensive and i was using the chipping hammer to beat the living daylights out it to see if it was strong enough
Twinkle Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 take a lok here m8 may be of use http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/phpBB2/vi ... hp?t=19958
Twinkle Posted April 1, 2007 Report Posted April 1, 2007 just get a pile of scrap and weld it together for practice, you might even make a few quid if you call it modern art
Mr Sam Posted April 1, 2007 Author Report Posted April 1, 2007 welded some bits of exhaust together and patched up a cement mixer before attacking the car the scrap i collected i couldnt be bothered grinding the rust off
