Welding

Post by Vanny » 08 Oct 2007

One of the boot hinges off my mums AX snapped off qhuite some time ago, father dearest is nagging for me to get it sorted, reckon i can weld it back on with an arc welder, but have never welded to an actual car before so am a little concerned to say the least!

Ok, (Trying to be serious)
Arc welding is a piece of piss. Just REALLY REALLY boring, like going to the laundrette with your gran when you'd rather be at "Mick's" the corner shop buying porn...

Anyhow, get two bits of steel, and practice before going near the car.
AX's are made from sheese, so you wont need MASSIVE amounts of current.
It's a fine line between getting good penetration and blowing fucking huge holes in it.

Make sure theres plenty of Argon / Co2 mix, and dont crank the wire speed up that high.

Since I'm about to spend the next eleventy billion years welding up my valver, Tim's valver and several random old crappy buses, if you wana drive the bugger to Stroud I'll do it for ya.
Alternatively I'll do a "how to not set fire to your car with a MiG" thread?

Oh, and dont forget to disconnect the battery before cracking an arc!

Or just get pissed?

Why would I suggest getting nekkid, no-one wants to see me with no clothes on.....

I refer to getting pissed....and perhaps lots of pizza. followed by some technicolour yawns......

I'd bloody love to bone your sister mate. She's hot as fuck, the dirty cow!

Really, I sooooo would.
I have no idea why the hell she married that dweeb, he doesn't even have a proper car.
She'd be much better off shacking up with me, then I can service her car, and her!
After I get shot of that god awful Micra thing and get her a proper car like...

Off for a cold shower!

Is it the offer of buggery?!?!?!
Or do you just want to meet Smiffys sister now? HANDS OFF YOUNG UN, she's mine I tells ya, all mine!! <evil laugh>

By far and away the easiest way to weld anything to anything else is with a Mig mate. Mig's are the choice of champions.

all this arsing around you do with sticks and shit is FTL...
MiG, because your car deserves better!

Ooh, hello!

Actually, and I really shit you not, Smiffys sis is better looking than that.
I have no idea why it went so wrong with Smiffy! You'd never believe the lovliness that is his sis is related to JD!

I may go kill her husband, then she'll be all teary and need a shoulder to cry on, that shoulder will be mine, then in time she will realise that hubby was a knobhead and she would be much better off with me hip wading through her sushi bog!
