yeah no probs, yer comin up in the rangie
Which one? The one in pieces or the one falling to pieces? Will bring it up when it's done, think you might have the Austin done by then when you starting on the 90?
yeah no probs, yer comin up in the rangie
il start me 90 when work dries up again, need it 7 days a week now till me tractor log books sorted ,got all me hd lift kit shocks springs and radius arms, just need time to fit it all
####in gasless ! never liked it, try an borrow a murex gas mig ther the bollox , i managed to get a second hand one, gas, wire speed and amp adjustment easily, for tricky stuff iv got some oxy acet bottles, lot easier on thin stuff,
after a few weekends it might look like a rangie again stu !
Coming on there Stu.
This may sound archaic... but I used an old oil cooled electric welder when I did mine. Swapped the lead to the 'thin' metal position.. bought a box of 1.6 rods lowered the ampage and away I went !
You can weld new 1.5 mm sheet, without blowing holes, quite easily... have to be a bit more carful on the original tin though !
I've never used MIG (don't own one) so tried the stick... worked well.. good penetration... and will weld most things once it's struck up
Look forward to seeing your progress with the new welder ! Box sill looks good
Got some stick welders at work, been tempted to use them but one is a bitch to strike at low amps.
The single phase arc doesn't but the 3 phase arc does, but the 3 phase is at a different farm and would be a bitch to get set up. But will have my new Mig in 2 weeks
well it looks like you will be able to find something to do on it in the mean time!
Not much to do till I fetch the welder, so I stripped the front back to the engine.
If anybody is thinking of doing this, remove the front panel and radiators first then unbolt the wings, it's much easier than my way and unbolt everything off the wings before unbolting the wings.
Going to fetch the donor EFI in the morning, now that the boss has found the key to his shogun, wont let me use his TDV8 Autobiography L322 for some reason pics will follow, will be a breaking thread when I start.
