Well after looking at all the great pics of everyone else's project, I finally got myself a MIG welder and a cool auto-darkening welding helmet.
Practised on some scrap first then bit the bullet and moved to the real thing. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634533814.1.JPG) Only minor stuff first. Weld up holes in sail panel.

No progress on Thursday - Did this instead <!-- emo&:driving: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)<!-- endemo --> (I'm in the 2nd car in 1st pic)
Basically they throw the circuit open for the day and you get a number of 20 minute sessions (feels like about 5 minutes). Through the little kink at about 140 km/h (80 mph). Trail brake to get the back moving out a bit This bloody Mustang wouldn't move over and let me past. I was much faster through the twisty bits and could even keep up down the straight, just wasn't fast enough to actually pass him. Other cars have caught up now Braking hard into turn 1 from about 80 mph |
