So is that why your “designer” was white? Seeing as the body filler was the right colour

naah. white was cheaper because it didn't have any colour in it

[mini93]

ok is that why ur gona buy a GRP shell next? so u can skim it without feeling guilty?

got some welding to do myself but i cant be bothered

[Bean]

I WELDED, I WELDED, I WELDED!!!!!

[Bean]

These are my first ever welds!



And the back ...




And I had a go at joining some




We did attempt to break it, but couldn't!

(I know I blew through the metal, lol )

[mini93]

middle one looks most uniforum looks as tho your hand is speeding up and slowing down, if u just carry on working on your speed and stability you will get it

also want to really clean off both sides otherwise you can get contamination still

[Bean]

Oh, OK - I'll clean both sides! I know the metal isn't brill - But it's all we had (Kenny's old sill, lol)

Yeah, I was speeding up and slowing down - I would kinda get paranoid that I wasn't doing it right and would change!

[mini93]

if your just welding on the flat come in verticaly with about 60-45 degrees lead angle if your lap jointing aim at the middle or ever so slightly which ever piece is thicker material. I take it you use 2 hands to stabalise the torch too?

[Bean]

I did have 2 hands at the torch - One underneath to stabalise t'other!

I'm off to do some more! Whoop!
