Broke out the grinder and welder today, okay for a first ever Mig weld

I've had a good bash at Tig when making the manifold, but this was not so easy. I just kept adding spots to make sure I didn't make any more holes

And cut out the shonky bit that I left last time

Onto the other side tomorrow, not expecting any holes form the look I had today.

There's still a hole on the inside which has a bracket in the way. Looking at the subframe bushes it's time they were changed so a trip to APT is in order to sort that, and the other holes while it can be got at

PS Maff, got your screen at home

I'm sure it won't be too bad

Certainly got no plan to do the bushes though, need better access then laying on your back imo

good effort mate, just a tip for chasing holes try striking the weld up on the new metal rather than the old,keep the two materials as tight as possible and use a reasonable thickness to patch with.
