Cheers guys, looks like my next job is sorted then! I'm considering attempting changing some body panels too like the floor and the headlight bits but I've never welded before. Do you think it would be a good place to learn or just a stupid idea? I'm very hands on (Plumber) and pick things up quickly.
 
If you're capable then mig welding is easy. Soldering has the same kind of skills (managing the molten weld pool etc) so you'll pick it up.

I learnt in about 3 hours. Ok I'm no pro but the car is sorted!
 
might b worth looking on youtube for sum guides, few tips.. allways make sure the bare metal is showing, so have it as clean as possible or it will not weld well, and i weld in a sorta triagle movement, but there's plenty of other ways that work well.
 
Mr Nosiey I have decided to keep my 200 tdi and do some work on it side boot floor panel and rear passenager door arch panels etc one question I like your storkel fitting onto the wing that black thing that molds onto the wing is neat where did u get that from? I have the top storkel bit and some pvc pipes etc but want to make the entry into the wing look neat etc I like your laptop station!!! my gearbox is buggered and the fork too and rear brakes!! fair amount of work. but that is my work planned for the winter to spring!!

Nah, you've got a few small jobs to do there :D

The snorkel is all Southdown mate, they sell the parts on their website too.

Check it out!
 
Hi ian, urm no not got any further on that!

I fitted the washer fluid heat exchanger, but it's not been cold enough to test that, and I unblocked/adjusted my OEM jets which is a 100% improvement, so I kinda put that idea to bed!

So whats the next project you're working on. I know you there is always something in the back of your mind :)
 
Tee hee, no! :D

As it stands, I've got a pair of bucket seats rolling around the workshop at the minute, they need GRP repairs and a bit of a stitch up on the covers, then I am looking at trying them.

Tell the truth I'm a bit 50/50 about the idea, the standard seats do seem to do the job well, no bad back on long runs, and they are easy for in/out.

Either way buckets need repairing then fit or sell.

I'm working on finding the correct wires to speed the tickover up when I turn the winch on. One handy feature of electronic engine control :)

Also am looking to improve lighting all round the vehicle, work lights, beacons and do something with the Sherpa Candlesticks.

Need to take the dash out as part of that job though so that's being out off a bit.

Also the engine rebuild is looming, probably march/April time.

And that'll do.

Just had some engine repairs to do recently so that's been occupying my brain, at the same time as work and part time DJ stuff.

Cheers! :)
