Its coming along. Dont forget that panels dont always need to be welded. Panel bonding is widely used in body shops. Protects better from future rust and hold just as strong if not stronger that plug welds .
@Badgertronix5 жыл бұрын
I'm sure it is widely used but we have strict rules on repair and that would require certification or a headache at least as it's different from factory. Cheers!

Getting optimistic at the success of this restoration. Also good to see the welder is coping with the cheese that Morris was making its cars out of in 1958.

looking good i put a strip of copper under areas where the metals a bit thin helps stop it burning away also acts as a heat sink to help reduce warping when you go to refit the doors start with your rear door and work forward easier to get the gaps right

Couple of tips, when doing the final trial fit, clamp the new piece in place and cut through the new panel and old panel together, it'll give you a really good edge on both to fit and butt weld. There's also Weld Through Etch Primer you could use. Always nice to see new metal going back in. 👍
@Badgertronix5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the tips. The next panel is much harder to fit and has bolt holes that need to line up. I've painted it in weld through primer already. Cheers
