an update from weekend 5, the impromptu lockdown meant family commitments could not go ahead, so I unfortunately had to spend a fair bit of it in the garage.
Welding is continuing to improve.
I bought new tips for the first time, after getting a serious block.
My gloves looked like a bunch of burn snags, particularly the left hand that I use to hold the gun.
Some clever bloke worked out this, so you can buy a pair of one glove.So I got some 'Lefties'
It seems like you go 1 glory job to every 5 if your lucky.
So this weekend I cut and welded on the front passenger bubble as the fun job.
I used a handheld joddler? /punch from Metal Man tools for the first time. It chomped through the bubble arch easily, but the flange depth of the joggle isnt very deep, lucky if it was 10mm.
This meant the matching spotweld punch whole was corresponding closing to the panels also.
I thought I may blow through being so close, but all turned ok.
A skim of filler, then etch prime on the inside and out.
The crease fold down the hip line needs some work, as does each bottom side of the guard.
