New project

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I forgot how sensitive it is welding to suzuki tin foil! Kept blowing holes even on the lowest setting! :pissed:

I did some welding on Tims the other week and it wasn't too bad. I've got a shit load to do on my shell in the next few weeks. Patience and a little bit at a time.

I did up my first SJ which needed loads of welding, trouble is that was 4 years ago and I used a friends welder. Now I have my own but it's not the best! A bit more patience required it think and possibly a smear of filler after to make it look nice! As long as its solid I guess it'll be ok!

Solid and well painted / treated to keep the rust out.
