As Intarweb rants go, that was pretty impressive for one of tender years. Keep it up, but do avoid the blue box stuff if you want to stay sane. Your welding's getting much better too!

was one of those rails full of mud?

My dad taught me all i need to know

I'm trying to avoid the britpart crap, in the shipment of parts i just got i've got bearmach,Glyco, Karsons, genuine LR, and i've got some britpart, namely camshaft bearings, oil pressure switch, water temp sender, and air hose.
Not much britpart, shame i couldn't get anything better for the cam bearings on paddocks.
Thanks also, i got a few more nice welds with the hangers today too. I guess all i have to say is thank feck for that lol

Yes, it was, full of mud, acorns, leaves, rocks, rust, metal, just about anything you could think of, was in the chassis rails lol

Would it be bad to say the only thing getting me through the lows with this chassis is phil collins?

Separate leaves or hanger long enough?

Neither

Do you know if welders degrade over time, cos the arc aint doing as well as it was.
Also, do you think a 100amp mig gasless welder will weld 2mm thick steel?

Are the rods dry try baking them in the oven 1st.

That's a good idea.. i'll try that thanks.

It's best to bake the rods dry as suggested, but you can dry them whilst welding by striking them on the work piece or a bit of scrap and holding them there without the welding gap and they soon dry out.

I saw a friend do that once, good to keep that in mind.

Well after 3 weeks all my parcels arrived, as you may have heard. Though, missing parts:
Valve stem oil seals
Gasket overhaul set.
FOR FUUUUUCCCCKKKKSSS SSSAAAAKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEE

ProcrastinatorFraser · Nov 13, 2015

Okay, looks like i have been inactive for the passed week, thats because i have. Sorry.
Other work, school mainly, and sadly close family friend passing away has put the project aside for the moment.
I'll get some more parts soon-ish, so i can get the block and head re-done, but that's all i can promise for now. Again, sorry everyone.
