Did you want us to scrap that rusty Range Rover? Well, not today! We are trying to weld MIG on these repairs and get rid of all the rust in just one episode!
Want to know how to MIG weld? Watch it here: • Everything You Need To...
Check out other videos in our Workshop Diaries playlist: • Workshop Diaries
Workshop Diaries - The series will focus on the practical aspects of Edd’s workshop life, revelling in the detail of the fixes and exploring old and new technologies; covering a wide range of projects from classic cars to amphibious vehicles, tractors and bikes to planes - whatever takes their fancy.
China relishes the upcoming project, which invites viewers into his personal workshop facility in Buckinghamshire.
“I’m really excited to finally be able to bring this project to our fans as it is something they repeatedly have been asking for,” said China. “Workshop Diaries will let viewers really get stuck into the project and the detail of the fixes, and also provide a platform for instant feedback and interaction. It’s an exciting prospect and it’s great to finally get going!”

@jvburnes Год назад

Wow masterclasses on metal work with the production value of Ocean's Eleven. Rare indeed.

@oikkuoek Год назад

Pro tip: Clean the old metal on BOTH sides. Rust is oxidized metal, thus containing oxygen. Oxygen burns your glowing hot metal you are trying to weld, creating pin holes into your weld. When all surfaces on your seam are clean, you can apply more energy to your weld making penetration better thus creating stronger bead.

On stuff like this, i usually go with a beak hammer and tap every little suspect spot. Learnt the hard way that if you think you've found all the rust, the rust will get back at you. Stainless steel patches and lots of tacks. Luckily a good pot and feeder wheel upgrade on the welder makes that easier.

should have primed the oher side with some weld trough primer,gives you a better figthing chance about future rust,also even after an acid bath after the repairs and galvanizing would be good to put a cavity wax on all the inside cavities.

@Yvolve Год назад

Top tip, although it might be mustard after the meal (as we say in Dutch): paint all the layered steel with a weld-through primer like Steel-It. This prevents it from rusting again, as it is all perfectly bare steel. For the bump stops, it might be worth welding the short sides, so water can't get in behind it, if you can reach it that is.

@Gottenhimfella Год назад

I think I remember them deciding they would hot-dip galvanise it, which would burn away any paint, as well as superseding it.

Very detailed close up camera work Edd, you havent lost it, keep it up it's brilliant Bill Ireland 👍

@Iainb1954 Год назад

Surface rust is actually an advantage when hot-dip galvanising, it gives the surface micro-pores for the zinc to stick to. We used to leave pontoons outside in the rain for a while before sending them off. You don't have surface rust where the laser has done its thing, as you've created a very fine 'mill-scale' surface, which is more resistant to corrosion than ground off steel. It may be worth your while to make two large holes in the rear crossmember with a hole saw in line with the chassis legs, skelp the whole chassis with a hammer to loosen scale, then hang by it by its nose to empty sand and rust before welding the holes you cut out back in, and then galvanising. I did than a Series 3, got 4 kilos of crud on the workshop floor... Point to note: Work out how you want to hang the chassis for dipping, then make sure you have enough holes bored to a) allow air out and zinc in and b) allow the zinc to drain out again. (Go suck eggs, Granny!)😁

@eddchina Год назад

All good advice. The interesting thing about the laser is its preservation of the surface and yet the fact that it will need a bit of blasting just before galvanising to ensure and even surface. Hard to think we need even more holes in the chassis!

@stephenvale2624 Год назад

Nice to see old iron coming back to life! 👍

@freetolook3727 Год назад

I'm really surprised that the chassis isn't flash rusting after lasering and having no coating on the bare metal.

@eddchina Год назад

No, us too, we did leave it a long time and somehow the baking of the laser preserved the surface. I guess the ablation (micro explosions) melt the surface smooth and reduce the surface area on a microscopic level.

@clivematthew-wilson7918 Год назад

Nice work, but the British obsession with over-cleaning welds makes the overall job far less strong. Wise restorers leave a ridge over the weld when cleaning it up. This provides additional strength and compensates for any unseen weakness on the other side of the butt weld.
