Many thanks think I may have come across that one £500 £600 depending on your requirments? Ill take a look all the same as it may well help any odd hard to get stuff. Thanks again

Cheers John Ill do some search s.

Hi all, apologies first been a while since I added here; currently working my way through the jobs Ive been dieing to do on the Series. Ive just slotted in a new foot-well drivers side and nearly ready to get it fixed in place; also cleaned up the chassis whilst I was there and added some rust...

Many thanks its actully solid bar those two holes but its coming out all the same ;)

Hi all been a very long time since I came on here, sorry for that. Well I decided to take the series 3 off the road last year and begin some refurbishment; for those who remember me I'm a little challenged physically due to illness and so most things take me an age but patience and a bit at a...

When I went to see the details of this model sold elsewhere it stated not fitted with 3 pin plug etc. Which was what made me go through threads and re-read. When you dont know and Supplier states that it kinda gets you questioning. You make plenty of sense and its great to hear the feedback, I...

One more query, I'm guessing the reason no one has mentioned Sealey is because there not so good? I saw this which seems a good offer; providing there an ok machine of course. Sealey MIGHTYMIG150 Professional Gas/No-Gas MIG Welder 150Amp 230V+HELMET | eBay Please disregard this one Sorry :(...

Does welding outside effect the gas shroud to make it really ineffective? I hadn't even considered that :doh: Thanks another helpful tip ;) I guess most of mine will be done outside, guess gas or non gas option will enable me to do either ither depending on where I'm working; yep cool cheers...

Great tip thanks

Every response here is important because its exactly the cross section of info that will help me the most. Pressbrake thanks for the senopsis; I like to read replies as they have taken the trouble to respond; what would you have recommend? for teh novice patcher beginner? Thanks to everyone...

Hi all, Can people who have already got and used various mig welders help me narrow the choice a bit? Makes, models etc. I'm happy to go for new or secondhand, if that gives me a little better machine for the money to make it affordable. Amp 100 to 150 Preferably gas or not option Budget £150...

I'm about to pull mine out to treat surface rust on the top of it and a quick spray; now I'm wondering what Ill find on the bottom :confused:

I had the steal ones on my wishlist for ages at Paddocks; like most peoples list its always bigger than my wallet :rolleyes: I cant even remember how the Galv ones appeared on the screen, when I did a search they didint show; it wasn't until the last minute of ordering I spotted them, glad I...

I confess Ill have to google that and read up on it as I've never herd of it. Always willing to learn: like now I've learnt that that had I bought the steal instead of the Galv it would have been easier and cheaper to protect them :scratching_chin: :pound:

If I was to paint as well which i dont mind doing. Would galv require and etch primer? I'm guessing it would:rolleyes: Only because its the only thing I dont have in the cupboard :D

Thanks to both for the feedback, I will indeed give them an underseal :) Got them out of Paddocks Sam; they had steal but I decided to get the Galv coated: I expected Brit part but they are unlabeled or marked so not sure: They are really quite good quality, good thickness and well made, I'm...

I bought new inner wings for the series 3; I ended up buying galvanized, question is, should I coat them? Guess I would need etch primer then coat of what ever or maybe underseal as an alternative.

Thanks Rattle Ill track ehm down, much appreciated :D

Hi all, Looking to start on some of the body work on my series. She's a Mid Grey and despite being a fan of the blue I really want to ry and keep her original. I've checked paddocks they have limestone but no Mid Grey. Anyone know where I can purchase a ltr or so for a reasonable...

Cheers Boldor All sorted now bought new in the end MOT was 28th. Good news is she passed without any issues. Thanks again
