Chassis welding - Before or after dinner

[raveboy]

Hey peeps,

I had my MOT recently and was advised that the previous chassis welding that had been done (tacked and not seam welded) was crap and that I should get it redone. I have no problem with this but can't afford to get it done till next year. Now, not having welded before my question is thus -

When welding on the chassis, do you have to strip out carpets, flooring, general stuff in the cargo area so they don't catch fire ? Or is the heating so localised and quick (gassed mig welding) that I can leave it all in - Only cause I was planning to install all this early in the new year and was not gonna get the welding done till the spring/summer.

Cheers for your thoughts all

Get the welding done before you fit the interior, or it'll all have to come out again.

Cheers Sparks - Thought as much. Maybe I'll bring the welding forward.
