It was no problem. I've done it enough times and means you can get on with some other stuff tomorrow and not have to struggle getting it out.



I took this pic before we took it out

You did all the work mate, I just watched and learned. Hopefully I'll get a couple of hours on it tomorrow, I need to replace some O rings on a bath mixer tap, but at least that's something I can do

[James_eaton_thewholething]

That's how you helped out. You made brews so that was fine with me. Glad I could pass some knowledge on

I'm going to finish my rear quarter welding tomorrow and hopefully get the dash rails all sorted and in primer along with anything else interior wise so I can get a bit of colour on in the form of a rattle can so I can put the roll cage in and just leave it in to paint the rest of the car

I'll bring you a coffee round then

I'm willing to help out as long as brews are provided haha. You have a pretty decent shell to start with so won't take that long to do

[GT Jimmy]

Just need to pop my welding cherry and all will be good. Just doing a couple jobs in the house today to keep the mrs on side

[GT Jimmy]

Looking good mate, never been one to be jealous but I am now

Don't be jealous yours will be on its way soon. Taken me nearly a year to complete the shell now just need to paint it

Gonna get some bits from the mini fair tomorrow. Won't be long now:-)

[James_eaton_thewholething]

That it won't. Plus once mines done you know il have more spare time haha

[GT Jimmy]

I'd better get some more coffee in then

[GT Jimmy]

Not a real update, but got some scrap sheet steel from James Eaton today, so gonna have a practice at mig welding on Friday before having a go at the GT, so hopefully have some decent progress pics soon, Jim

[GT Jimmy]

Well it's safe to say I'm crap at welding ha ha.

 

Luckily the welder hasn't been near the GT yet

[Vinay-RS]

I doubt anyone was born a great welder. It will take time, but I am sure you'll master the skill :)

[GT Jimmy]

The first welds were awful. But they did get better. Just had a play with the settings

[GT Jimmy]

There you go James, told you it was crap ha ha

Sorry about the rubbish photo. Had to crop one off my phone because the kids hid my camera and the battery was dead
