Great video Phil. Interesting to see the plug welding from underneath was tougher. I suppose the alternative is using a car rotisserie to flip the car the other way up but I know from experience this is only good if the car is stripped to bare shell with no heavy components attached. Machine Mart also do a great castellated welding tip for plug welding which I’ve found handy in the past. You hold it against the metal and it makes a lovely pool. Keep up the great work and fantastic videos!!
Thanks! Yes, I was surprised just how much of a difference welding from underneath was and how difficult too! But with practice I’m getting there. A rotisserie would be amazing but I’m short of space and as you say, would probably need to strip the car down even more. I’m keen to try some of the plug welding tips, so will look to get some! 👍 cheers, Phil
Great video watched start to finish.After removing the old floor pans I plan to replace the fuel line with stainless steel.I also need repair to clutch cable conduit tubing.Hopefully I will have access to make some repairs?
Hi, glad you liked the video! I wasn’t sure whether to replace my fuel lines or not, in the end I decided they were still ok but yes, I can confirm that once your old floor pan is out, you should have great access for replacing both fuel lines and clutch cable conduit. Cheers, Phil
Really enjoyed this video. Nice to see the floor pans going in and it starting to look more like a car again. Look forward to seeing more progress in the next episode!
Thanks! I’ve actually been having a but if trouble getting it set up hoe I want it! On the tensioner, it has a spring on it and I tend to tighten it up half way, don’t suppose you have a better method for it? I’ve heard migs are sensitive to how much pressure is on the feed roller but it’s hard to find info on it. Cheers, Phil
@@Tacman556 thanks I’ll give that a try, so in that scenario, the drive roller is pretty tight. Maybe that’s one of the areas where I have been going wrong because I always thought you needed a little bit of slip on the drive in case the wire came against something hard or the earth connection didn’t work right but as you say, worse case scenario, the wire bends. Cheers, Phil
That’s because I’m not a professional! Remember, many of those areas on the firewall will never be seen again because there is another panel that goes on the inside behind where the seats are. However, agree, there are some areas that I’m going to need to revisit and tidy up. Cheers, Phil
