I think this is where i can be some use ferris....let me know what you need and i'll get a price for ya....after all...thats what welderfab friends are for. And if your lucky we may have it in stock...if your even luckier we may have off cuts that may be of use and i should be able to get them cheap as!

Right...me breaks over...back to demolishing the kitchen

[ferris]

All thoughs pictures were taken at a place called gannies rocks in Wick near Bristol. Its a good spot but they are tying to close it.

Cheers Chris il have to measure up and let you know what metal i need. If you need any help/advise with the electrics in your kitchen just let me know.

One more thing.......what thicknes sheet metal should i use for patching in the body work??

Cheers

Ferris...depending on the size of your holes you could reuse.... When i chopped out the sills to do my slider's...i used the waste to patch up my arch's and a couple of holes in my footwell! Just a tip from 4eyemoneysaver.com

I've got plenty of steel sheet lying around too if you need some, used to work for a sheet metal fabrications firm and i still get offcuts for free

[ferris]

Havent really got much done recently as i had a few things to sort out on my other car

But im going to try and get right on it as of now!!

Cut out one of the sills today



Also got some defender arches to cover up my dodgey repair work on the arches.


Should be getting a mig welder this week. So im going to have to learn to weld pretty fast, so i can start fixing it all back together again.

[Edweird]

Don't worry, welding is relatively easy. I do it in school for a start. If acne-ridden teens can do it then it can't be hard.

Jusr make sure you can the MIG set correctly for the metal's thickness and such, otherwise you can get crappy, useless welds the just break off (which you could easily re-weld by the way), or you could melt holes through the material, which is not so good.

I suggest that if you've got no idea what settings to use, then experiment using some scrap stuff of a similar thickness.

Had another go at it today. Didnt seem to get much done though. Im begining to wish i had'nt started

Only a couple of pictures to report......

Cut out the other sill


Took the passenger door off for inspection............think it might be beyond help
