what technique are you using? stop-start? as those welds look better than factory :shock:

Cheers hombre

Yeah stop start pretty much. Just a spot then let the glow fade and put another one on the side sort of like an audi badge :lol: . we have a fairly rad welder which helps LOADS over the push button £100 ones! Got it off fleebay for a bargain £300 but how many times its paid for its self this last year or so i dont know. Best tool i own without a doubt!

Not done anything this last few week as my Grandad/Boss/mentor/ all round awesome dude passed away a couple of weeks ago so inspirado is at a low at the minute. Plan to drag my arse down there and get my sisters bug ready for MOT cos im sick of looking at the F**KIN thing so that should hopefully be the start of more progress

 

[mysteryspots]

Nice work fella.

 

[dubscum]

sorry to hear about your grandad dude. Cool build !

 

[Grazy]

Chin Up dude , try to use your loss as an inspiration to finish the project for your Grandfather

Best of luck my friend

 

[young_dubya]
