Great video 👍If the welder hasn't been used for a while the feed rollers get rusty and the wire gets rusty and put a new tip in it😊.Tip take some news paper and make a blanket for the wire drum when in use .
Excellent result! When you are welding thin panels, if you can get behind them, use a length of 22mm copper pipe folded up as a heat soak, and it will reduce some of the blow through, and you keep rubbing your face with dirty hands😋
You've done a good job there, its looking like it'll turn out pretty nice. A bit of filler and decent prep for painting she's good! Now you've had your practice run on the RHS, time to attack that rotten LHS, it's coming up nice. Don't forget the "crevice" corrosion protection, fish oil or something with good "wick in" quality. Oh, to keep your face cleaner, stop running your dirty gloved hand over it 😂, you seem to do that a lot. Cheers, 👍👍.
@@gazzafloss 😂 I hadn’t noticed but you’re right I do! And yes I need to get some of the cavity protection paint 👍🏻 I think I will do that at end of both sides!
Absolutely fab! I was looking at mine before starting the body work. I can see that half wings are already fitted following a previous sill repair. Interestingly, it was fitted exactly the way your MG specialists recommended: the top edge was lapped under the trim section of the upper wing and puddle welded. Maybe a joddled edge might be better?
I guess the panels don’t come pre-joddled as each restorer may cut the panel in a different place, but I agree, it would be great if they WOULD do that 👍
I have a Sealy MightyMig the same as yours. It's now 27 years old and has been very heavily used including semi-professionally but still is in superb working order. It has had new liners and rollers as well as a circuit board but for the amount of work it's done that's a small price. The service from Sealy has been excellent too.
My Hungarian friend switched to gas and got terrible results, I told him to make sure the earth was swapped to negative! Every flux machine I've dealt with had positive earth which causes havoc with gas.and make sure you have the correct roller. Easiest and best fix,new inverter welder,better results and less power consumption
I'll tell you why you end up dirty , you're doing all the work, not a team of off camera "helpers", but seriously really great work, definite signs of real progress , keep up the great work
I dont know if you have seen the youtube channel by "Bondo Billy" and his techniques with flux core and car body ? The flux core welds are hotter, but the welds can be flatter than MIG with gas (less grinding) with short pulse stitch welding. He also has some interesting views on the length of "stick out" that can be useful on very thin metal. You are doing OK, we are all still learning something new every day I hope.
Your clutch is probably OK. It should grab at the top of the pedal. If it does not, then you have problems, like a worm clutch disc or air in the hydraulic line.
@@HJRgarage yeah if the mig has been sitting for a long time, you need to replace wire and liner and wire feed roller, I had the same problem with my second hand Clarke mig, replaced whole mig torch with cheap eBay one and new roller motor unit eBay special and new wire, works amazing now cost £30 all in.
@@malcolmchadwick4047 maybe it was like the wire was receding up towards the tip of the welder. But as soon as I increased the wire speed it started to splatter. 🤷🏽♂️ anyway, thanks for watching!
