How many whiskeys you had when you welded them mountings?

Weld shaming is quite a common thing, I've noticed.

Admittedly not as neat looking as the ones featured in the much missed 'Weld of the Week' series, but functionally they appear fine, and certainly much better than I could achieve unless I was using gas and managed to avoid the heat distortion. I'd say that's an impressively robust looking piece of fabrication Tommy.

I've had a couple of small attempts at using these modern electric welding boxes when making a barbecue grill, and the results were far from pretty, even for a novice. Thank heavens for angle grinders, rust, and wood ash. It's clearly a question of lots of practice and critical reviews, as Young Fifer has shown.

Just being picky, trying to drum up some traffic.

Not enough and I’m not sure what you’re getting at? I followed my book to the letter:

There’s a super busy Facebook group like that. Even the greatest most stunning welding gets demolished by armchair experts. Fair enough some people (me) couldn’t weld to save the hole in their arse but there are some true artists out there but no one is sacred lol.

I’ve pulled the seats out and swapped the pedal box for the tdi one and ripped out the td fuse box too. tdi clocks and loom are in too.

I’ve started hacking up looms now which isn’t my favourite job….

Yes, I follow it on Facebook.
You can't weld for shit, or something similar.

The people are savage.

Anyway, more excited to see a large copper hammer being used for electrical work and fuse box removal. Essential tool.

Haha yeah. The hammer was for chiselling away the previous owners welded up clutch pedal plate. It was sticking the pedal box to the servo bulkhead plate. Got a proper clutch bracket in it now and down to my last one so need to order more again.

No better way of checking the fuses...
