    I doubt whether any new skills will be applied to the van directly but the basics might get me started on my 3" exhaust system.

        R Tech MIG. https://www.r-techwelding.co.uk/mig-...caAvdMEALw_wcB

        That's all you need - at this point. That and the MIG welding forum.

        I put one on my christmas list - it's still on it.

                  It helps when reversing it back into the utility room plus it's still full of Brandy & Baileys cream and handy if you like a secretive finger dip now and again!

                  • Picked this up in the bargain basket from the local Marine chandlers for £7. Ideal I thought for the front panels Cold Intake System. 70mm OD / 57mm ID.

                    • +1 for the rtech mig, excellent welder and very portable. Make sure you buy a decent mask, being able to see what you are doing makes a big difference to your welding.

                        That's it. For years I had an old arch welding mask, then when I got a modern one and could see it was a bit of a light bulb moment....literally.

                          I agree. A friend has the r-tec true colour helmet. Its on my shopping list, excellent bit of kit at a reasonable price.

                          • I appreciate all the feedback and inputs BUT you have to ask is it all worth the outlay? Welder £500, Mask £75, Gloves £30, Consumables £60, Welding Tools £50 .... thats some shopping list for making the odd exhaust as without the "projects" I simply wouldn't generate the competency to tackle complicated manifolds ..... is there a budget system that I can start with perhaps and progress to the R-Tech Nirvana?
