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.

finally getting back into it Group: Members Posts: 223 Joined: 17-June 05 From: queensland, aus Member No.: 4,293 Region Association: Australia and New Zealand |
just checking out ur thread n was impressed with your attitude towards just getting into it ,good work and keep it up there is nothing better and satisfying than standing back and seeing the finished product GOOD WORK lets hope others follow your lead and give the 914 behind the shed a birthday and a new life (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
with the top of the a pillar where you did the plate work i couldnt see whether or not you took the surrounding areas back to bare metal normally this is desirable (just in case) sandblasting or grit is good as you can get almost everywhere clean and the paint will stick good and the rust (hopefully) wont return either way i know how frustrating this process is so keep up the good work |
