catsinthewelder got a reaction from MondeoBlues in Shitefest Shropshire 12-14th July
Well the loo is booked and paid for so I should probably think about ordering something else.
Telford Steam Railway are open to the public on Sundays at the moment but I could ask how much it would cost to run us a train on the Saturday, perhaps with the North British built shunter (the most Autoshite of diesels).

catsinthewelder reacted to MiniMort in Late registration madness
On the subject of classified ads...
...it seems that some Dacias were sat on the forecourts for a few years.

Before doing any welding whatsoever, I made an extra long lance from 3 originals joined together.
This is so I could arrange it in the correct position for optimum coverage, before putting the panel in position.
I used mini G clamps to hold the 3 layers together.
And here you can see how the holes in the outer panel are lined up with those in the middle layer, which I'd previously only tacked into position and ground back.
This meant I could create a decent plug weld, and tie all 3 layers together.
Once I'd done all the plug welds and tacked the front edge, I ground them all back ready for seam welding in stages.
I was trying to minimise the gap to make life easier for myself when it came to welding 1mm steel. I found that on a current sufficient to get good penetration on the first pulse, by the time I'd laid down 3 or 4 more pulses, the localised heat build up meant I was in danger of blowing through, so I just moved on to another location. And repeat...
Finally, it was a case of taking the flap disc to it, followed by the power sander to flatten out any imperfections. This should still be under the seal, so I dont think I need to use filler.
Then a coat of etch primer to protect while I treat the surface rust which is around the rest of the frame.
Lastly I used my new lance to spray cavity wax on the rear of the weld, which did reveal two pinholes...easily dealt with though. Time for bed now!

In typical fashion today I have another blood letting at the hospital (I am being cremated in instalments to see if I like it before booking the main event) so today is also my new to me dream car is being delivered. As I sit awaiting my appointment in the oncology waiting room I have just had a text saying it has arrived at my friends in Perth. My friend is going to store it for me whilst I make room in the shed.
I am going to ask for a big bore pipe to be installed so I can get out of here and head south ASAP.
Excite!
