The bitsa zuk

Post by andyrew » Wed Jan 01, 2014 3:03 pm

So I have this kicking around

Purchased as a mates girlfriend wanted a standard one.
So I started to de modified this one then she changed her mind.
Plan is to use up all the standard parts and spares
I have left over from previous breakers.

Cleans out the workshop and leaves me with a cheap sami.

On closer inspection it appears its had a little nap on its left side
So things need a bit of jigging around the door. Its pretty solid until I found a few holes.
Overall a tidy little motor.

Its current state

This thing keeps getting holy-er

So I cracked on with the bit that alot of sjs suffer with. And its an awkward area To rrepair.
Realistically the body could be lifted off or just up a bit And the area
Plated over. Im not taking the body off and Im not a fan of plating over stuff
And I hate welding upside down. So ive gone in from the top.

Nice and easy really. Centre punch all the spot welds And drill them off.
Theres two underneath in the tunnel.
Then either side is an inch of mig weld. Simply drill round the edge of the weld with a series of
3mm holes close to each other then open them up to 4.5.
