hi everybody,
did some work on the rustbucket.
Cuted out the Suspension console. No way way to solve the problem with less cutting <_< It was rusted directly to the console, so there was no metal left to weld the new one against.

That is really excellent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) I have my fingers crossed hoping I'm not going to see the same thing this weekend when I delve into mine.

headrage,
wish you the best, but.... no illusions, that cars are over 30 year old and there is no additional coating of wax or something in the longs or somewhere. Expect the worst, and be positive surprised of the condition.

best wishes

Damn - you do beautiful work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
I don't weld, but I definitely need to learn. My '73 needs hell hole repair & I want to do it myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Awesome post!!! Great pics!!! You have no fear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
Now I have got to go to nite school & learn to weld. That really looks like fun. Just curious, how long did it take for you to be able to weld like that???? I've seen a lot worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/alfred.gif)

during study i worked one day per week in an metall shop. There, i learned and practice welding, and some more helpfull skills. But that material was much stronger than the sheetmetal of an car.
You can burn a hole in the metal very quick , so you have to be carefull.
Practise is the key to success, but it is not so hard to learn!!

I like that forum very much, unfotunatly no comparable in germany.

That's no lie! I was practicing on some scrap 26 Ga I had laying around figuring if I could weld metal this thin, then the 22 Ga would be a little more forgiving. Blowin' holes like I was wielding a shotgun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) I've got a flux core mig welder, think I'll have any sucess with it? Or should I start shopping for a gas type mig?

Kevin,

Don't waste your time welding on a 914 with flux core wire, get the gas set up. The G in MIG is Gas, so if you don't have shielding gas then you aren't really MIG welding. You will also have the best sucess using a welder that has infinite heat and wire speed adjustments.
