Big day tomorrow. Probably going to patch them with a sheet of 1mm



galvo I got at the local DIY for 17 squid 50. The sheet is 100cm x 50cm



so i reckon I can split it lengthways and get two complete wheel arches.



The tricky bit looks around the battery box.



Starting to panic because I haven't lifted any carpets behind the



drivers seat and the MOT is about 4 weeks, oh and the new rear x-member



is still propped up behind the shed, the wobbly rear seat belt thingies



and the rusty brake pipes ..


Sally Gunnel mode .... deep breaths, don't go to soon ....



Wafty uttered summat worrerz funny about:

1mm sounds a bit thin to me... but then maybe I'm just used to working with heavy metal. Be VERY carful welding Gelv. the fumes can kill, best to wire brush the galv off the bit you're welding, which kind of defeats the object on a patch.

May the force be withyou!

need any putting off? No?

aye if its true galvy clean the zinc off around the weld area or expect bits to pop off 1mil is ok as its not a stressed area the inners are not regarded as a problem MOT wise.still waiting for my pipe bender to arrive . Derek
