I'm going to need some welding done on my car:
Front sway bar mounts Battery tray Hinge support for engine lid. Are there 'mobile welding services' that will come to the car, or should I plan on having to take the car to the welder. If they do exist, does anybody have a recommendation in the Bay Area (Peninsula)? TIA, Richard |

Actually, it sounds like it's all light welding, a 115v portable mig (hobart handler/miller sidekick or 135 etc) would be just fine. You'll get much cleaner welds using shielding gas as opposed to flux core. If you don't want to take the car into a shop, I'm sure you could talk someone into doing it on a weekend or evening. If you want to be ambitious, you could buy the equipment ($600)and have someone come over to help with the repairs and show you how to use it.
They are very versatile little machines, and can be used for virtually any of the welding done on a 914 with proper prep and setup. |
