:mad::mad::mad: Took the dam thing back for an MOT for them to say. "oh three little bits of welding on inner sills and two bulbs" Nice I thought. The smallest one I thought I'd tackle first. Started cleaning the area and seen a small but somehow inviting crack on front drivers body mount. (Not...

I had same problem not long after buying it. Mine went on me in the middle of Garstang ford where the water was 3' deep. But managed to get it home by starting it in gear then crashing the rest. But to my amazement, it did it without much fuss. I'd even say I could have drove it like that for a...

I was but then I ran out. Had a full roll of mig wire so I got some argon. welds a whole lot better. I will put some pics on of other welding tomorrow night. Also used a Wolf 140 amp mig welder I bought from amazon. Best £140 I ever spent Saved me 6 times that. Easy to work with aswell.

Is it possible to get rid of the cpu. As I see it I can't really see why it's needed. Back to basics. :D

Well after a bit of time she finally went back for MOT. Didn't pass but to be fair only 2 small welds which I did see but forgot about and 2 bulbs. so should pass saturday.

:eek: Holly cr@p thought I had it bad. Good luck fella

Part 2 Exmoor Trim Discovery Seat Re-Trim Kit Check this out on youtube. Watch part one for everything. There's a trick to getting the headrest off. good luck

take old one off. place a plank on the floor. Place old steering arm on it. Then at each end nail a bit of wood thicker than the trackrod end. to each of the sides. remove the steering arm. place the new one on the plank and adjust the trackrod ends so that its a snug fit. Then fit on car. It's...

recon your engine while it's out. Be like new. Better than buying a second hand engine.

It will pass. ( No choice ) Just got to put new disc on back. so decided to do full brake replacement. new callipers disc and shoes all round. will do that next week. Gone busy at work now this week. Will let you know. Don't sell it if your thinking of doing the work yourself. Garages can't be...

If pedal is on the floor. Then it's gone through.

See. this is what I like about this site people give you great ideas. Only thing is, you want to try them all. Need time for other stuff aswell Like work. :rolleyes:

Looks nice. Whats it like underneath. All I want is a garage like that. with a pit.

:eek: I wouldn't say mastered, far from it. All I can do is Find the good metal cut out the bad. Make sure there's good penetration on the welds and then frap wheel the spatter off. I'm a floor layer and it's not that much different to welding up safety floor. Not sure that helps me. But hey...

:D:D Cheers guys. Not sure if its been in salt water. But I had that thought as well. The car originated from Scotland so I think that corner was open to the elements. :eek:There is some little bits on the sill. I have knocked the hell out of the chassis. every thing else is ok. The welding I...

Sorted chassis out. Happy days:D:D:D

take an angle grinder to it but dont need to cut through. All you want to do is put heat on it. Be careful to only grind the baring. then give it a sharp tap with a hammer it will fall off. Or least come loose. :):)

Finished welding on chassis. Just a small bit to do on sill. Put new breaks on and she ready for MOT again. :biggrin1::biggrin1:

Cheers for them comments guys. I must admit if it wasn't for this site and seeing how many people give it a go I wouldn't have attempted it. I'm ok with mechanics but im glad ive taken the challenge. Watched loads of vids on youtube. took advice off here. bought a load of different thicknesses...

Well once you start. You just want to carry on. on and on. Good fun tho, When you get the time. I got other projects on the go. so I do a bit on each every day. weather permitting. Hopefully will get done eventually.
