I didn't want to look like I was eyeing up a Mokka though so I couldn't make up my mind. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Good chat this evening peeps. Late night topics of discussion were 'Can you do a wheelie in a steam train locomotive?', and 'As a roadsweepers lorry works on the same principle as a Hoover (beats as it sweeps as it cleans), would it be @beko1987's ultimate vacuum cleaner?'. Hope to see you again next week start time at work depending. chaseracer, The Moog and LightBulbFun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the usual car sales ticks were used like just sit in it and a test drive. I imagine he even offered her a low deposit and affordable monthly payments. brownnova, Mrs6C, St.Jude and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A house direct from the 1960's, showing in detail a kitchen with floor tiles made of asbestos, a kettle that pops it's electric cord the moment it's boiled (which was a real thing), next to a sink where the lady of the house is washing up (or was until she was electrocuted by the boiled kettle), with the Invacar parked outside the garage because the long-since dead man of the house is trapped in the Isetta he bought that had no reverse gear.

3VOM Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Picture of the welding. Cleanliness could be an issue so do I just use more Baker's Fluid ? (That's a joke by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That's a joke by the way) Not an expert, but on the existing panel, you should have a good 2/3cm where it's bare metal. The existing rubber/paint will melt and affect the weld. What are you using to make the template? Cardboard? I think the gap on the bottom right would make me think about cutting that out and starting again.

Talbot Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Indeed. At least an inch is needed of clean metal all around the working area. It looks like the weld has been badly affected by contamination and/or a lack of shielding gas. It also looks like there is a fit issue there with the patch. Can you get a photo that shows more of the surrounding area? (IE not as zoomed in). It's not easy to see where this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dozeydustman Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I have no desire to drive an I*****r but I do see them as an important oart of history and making the less fortunate independent.
