Can anyone here weld or does anyone have access to a mig welder. I've not done any welding myself for about 10 years, but I want to plate up some bits on the car to do some smoothing before the respray.

More than happy to pay but I'd rather my hard-earned goes to someone in the club rather than just a random trader

 

If you don't get any joy from a SN member, give my mate a call at A1 Bodyworks on 0208 2029946

 

Mate try Richard as he mentioned being able to weld a while back to me.

 

hi mate i can weld not a problem but sold my welder when shutting down my car repair buisness ,work has one but can not borrow!!steve

 

Cheers guys, I'm just trying to get it done cheap and local as it is 2 small plates that I need welding in. The gear seems to be the issue - if I could get some I'd even have a crack myself

 

Have you looked into hiring the equipment mate?

 

I'm going to give HSS a bell when they reopen tomorrow

 

Try him I am sure he has a welder he welded the mlr cars

 

HSS want £23 per day plus VAT, add to that the rods, gas etc it'll be just as cheap to pay a garage

Mikee, got your PM - I thought that was the case, but I'd rather someone volunteered because I wouldn't be imposing on them

 

Him who? Who is he? Chinese relative of the man known as Monkey Maybe?

I'm sure jimbob will be able to do something for you...Hon..

 

"HIM...who stalks at night with his flashgun & Lens, HIM who is the master of all arts & fails at none, HIM who appears on here only as an apparition to those whose posts are worthy, HIM who has previously appeared on The Waltons & is known as Jimbob"?
Is that the one??

I think I may have been reading a bit too much of Lord of the Rings this week!!

 

I do welding. if you do it yourself be carefull not to warp the metal around it

 

Might be sorted now, about to return a call and should get a visit later today

 

All sorted now thanks to Stu (scoobystu5779)

 

was you not happy then

 

I think he meant to put "all sorted now" thanks to you

 

Sorry mate, typo, more than happy - edited to correct it. Just refitted the exhaust and it fitted like a glove

 

Here's the work







As agreed Stu stitched in all the plates and I am going to fettle and smooth, although he did finish the exhaust off a treat

 

glad its all gone how you wanted, will be the nuts when its finnished and,
rich has worked his magic,

any more welding just give me a call mate (07864806493)

 

Bit of a slog, but filled with fibre glass, then filler and some chemical metal in lieu of a stopper and here be the finished result

 

Looking good Jon, were there holes behind the WRX badge?

Oh btw Budgie does have some stickers and will be at the next meet

 

No holes mate, just easier to sand the sticky stuff off as it was getting pained anyway - I remember the pain trying to remove the glue without damaging the paint when I took the S U B A R U badge off

 

I was thinking about de-badging mine but may be a job for the summer if it's a pain

 

Just time consuming, and you end up rubbing your finger raw as you try and clean the glue off. Hair dryer and some dental floss in behind works a treat

 

Thanks for the tip mate.

I used to use lighter fuel to get the glue off of previously de-badges cars what did you use?

 

Turps or white spirit but I've drank them all so none left

 

onto the meths next then mate
