Me thinks we all are.
I reckon Bandit deserves an award for becoming a great welder in fuck all time.
Christ that puts some of my work to shame.
BASTARD!

Post by **Vanny** » 03 Apr 2008

well, i've got a trailer to build . . . perhaps i should just outsource the welding?

docchevron132 · Post by **docchevron132** » 03 Apr 2008

PLAN:
Get your dissertation done.

So THAT'S why the paint is peelin off!!!!

Doc....as ever you have an ace plan.....trailer building FTW! I had a shit day welding last Thursday...was trying to rush it and access was shit in the o/s front. I had more time on my hands yesterday and today so I've not rushed and found things easier!!

W2G, all the metal has been cut, nibbled and beaten into submission from an old 1/2 an oil barrell found in the stream at the bottom of the garden...it's a bit rusty and battered but that matches the rest of the car!!

Here's the latest....panel welded yesterday primed up:

All welded up on the n/s

Inside the bay...not quite so good

Found more rust....not seen it this bad in these areas before..

Cut out the crap and cleaned up...

I cleaned up the sill-end.....still pondering this one...

Still looks all sound and clean inside the sections....am gonna flood the buggers with waterproof goo called waxoyl!
Doc, do you have an o/s sill end and a brake hose flexi-to-rigid mounting bracket on these scrappers?

Post by **Vanny** » 03 Apr 2008

think i'm gonna throw up with envy

see now look what you did. would rather do anything than continue sittang at this desk!

Bx Bandit · Post by **Bx Bandit** » 03 Apr 2008

keep at it mate.........I gave up beer for nearly a year doing my final year and dissertation (well...almost gave up beer...) Once you're done you can weld your knackers off

docchevron132 · Post by **docchevron132** » 04 Apr 2008

Yes mate, I can indeed provide sill ends and brackitry!

Vanny, get your arse into gear and get writing, er, more, you've got the rest of your life to weld rusty shit back together.
Although I must say bandits progress is far faster than mine has been, oh how I wish I had no distractions....

Bx Bandit · Post by **Bx Bandit** » 04 Apr 2008

It all depends on the weather Doccers, if it's raining I'm fooked! But I have had a few good days at it with the missus looking after the kids, so I've had little distraction......I couldn't be arsed today tho' so I went swimming with the kids!

I shall try and see you Sunday Doc to give you a hand flat packing the scrappers.....On Sunday Mathew, I shall be..............Doc's Bitch!

docchevron132 · Post by **docchevron132** » 05 Apr 2008

Matthew actually will be there on Sunday!

Alas I'm proper fucked up at the mo, so progress may be quite slow, but either way both cars will be raped and disposed of this weekend.

Post by **Vanny** » 05 Apr 2008

Raped, Pillaged and Plundered? Oh how society has regressed!
