DoctorRetro Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 You know, because of the holes... Might as well document the progress. Had a good poke around the side I believe is the worst. I reckon it needs doing the whole circumference of the inner arch on both sides, from where it joins the outer, about 4 inches in. Might be easier to do small sections at a time, although that means more actual welds. chodweaver, Dyslexic Viking, privatewire and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonne chance pal 👍 Totally agree @DoctorRetro has come on leaps and bounds now. Welding to mot standard isn't that hard with decent kit, mostly if you find good steel and prep surfaces well you get a good finish. The aftercare is the one, plenty of seam sealer and of course.... Cold galvanic spray 🤣🤣🤣 yes oui si, Matty and DoctorRetro 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
