It wasn't me.
Can always blaze a bit of weld over that dodgy bit when we fit the A&B post bottoms.

I know - it looks like stick welding.. Good that I found it tho
No, this is what stick welding looks like
2.5mm 6011 on 70 amps and blaze away
Just ordered some new 2mm & 2.5mm 6013, I'd like to try some fleetweld to see what they weld like but ideally I would need a DC inverter not my AC buzz box lol
Hope you ain't been sneaking off to work on the sly
Any more progress?

Wondered what it all looked like from underneath
That will grind up fab and we'll be able to crack on with a good bit more next week.

Is it worth sticking another hole in the seatbelt mount area and is the one (undrilled) at the back ok for position, or would it be better closer to the Roll cage?
A couple of those holes are right on the inner edge of the sill section.
I would say drill the one inside the seatbelt mount and the last one marked at the back, the rest of the floor will be welded in when we tackle the rollcage.
done
Some more pics from today
First cleaning up bulkhead repair
Showing pinholes
outside bulkhead pics
cut wiring found near fuel access hatch
interesting what you find hiding behind the fuel tank
good news - rear NS quarter panel is in surprisingly good condition
I did find out that watch glass doesnt like either being on the receiving end of grinding sparks or shot-blasting media.
I was going to shot blast the outside bulkhead repair, but will wait till the welding is completed on the repair first.

watch isnt destroyed - just a tad opaque
welding the outside of that bulkhead is a bit tricky to get to.
it appears the D1 and D2 slam panels are both, nominally, the same width - 154cm
ere @dieseldog69 - what do you think of splitting the B post repair section in two, from top to bottom to enable it to fit betterer?

That might work.
panel size is good news.

The only good reason to wear a cheap plasticky Casio type watch ... you clean it under the tap ...

Will the watch crystal clear at all with Autosol or toothpaste ?
I recons he'd need to skim a few thou off the face first, it's possible he was experimenting with the first braile digital watch but I think it just wants to die now
