I have read that somewhere, do little spots with a few seconds in between each one, think the steel I have is .8 thick, would doing spots avoid heat distortion of he metal?.
Right now I managed to find a place near me that has gas (I know there are more places but I can't be arsed driving miles) anyhow they only had CO2 and after reading about shielding gas on here thought sod it that'll do, what a difference, I only had a ten minute play but my god it makes it...
Yes your quite right I didn't even think of cleaning it up :ashamed: that'll be this weekends job hopefully if work doesn't keep getting in the way.
So which car do you want? Cobra, gt350 or Shelby 1000 :clapping::laughing: if only I had a few, I did ask the wife if I could have a super snake...
Good question, I dont know, I assume it must leak while driving but only the front bottom of the engine and sump has oil on it, along with the steering rack & subframe.
As the car doesn't really go anywhere (lucky if it does 1/2 a mile a day) the underside of the car is clean oil wise
I'll try...
I have looked at a full gasket kit 100 & odd £'s, when did gasket lits get so expensive think I only paid £20 for a full kit on my mk4 escort, if I get the full kit I can change the sump and oil filter gasket then if it still leaks at least I'll have the rest of the gaskets.
No :ashamed: but the late great Mr Shelby would have stuck a nice V8 in there by now, tbh I'm a bit nervous of touching the engine in the car as parts are so expensive, ideally (if I had the time and space) I would pull the engine out and fit all new gaskets but am getting lazy :vsad:maybe when...
Hello all,
Bit of a stupid questions but are there any mechanic on here that can offer advice on a BMW E36 1.6?

The car is 21 years old with 90k on the...
Many thanks for your help guys its much appreciated, I bought the welder 2nd hand and the gas came with it, I'll get some argon/co2 gas, the maypole welder I got has a high/low setting and a 1/2 setting, I assume a 1 /low is the minimum current and high/2 is maximum, I will get the correct gas...
That looks weird but fast :laughing: I believe there is more value in originality of vehicles then modified ones (well I hope so anyway as my cars getting on a bit now)
The '90's was a dodgy era in modified car, I hazily remember lol
Hello good people, I have been watching it and shouting at the TV, its trying to be gas monkey but British, what really really winds me up well 2 things, 1, they keep saying "this hasn't been done before" other then ruining a land rover I have seen it all done before and 2, the unreal sale price...
Good evening,
Sorry if this has been asked a million times and your probably sick of answering the question.
I have been playing with practice welds on 1.5cm scrap metal and got some nice beads going, so I thought I would have a go at welding 2 pieces together, I folded some .8mm steels and...
Many thanks for the replies, yes it does have the screw on shroud, I was looking at the tips on amazon and they were saying suits mb25 etc which confused me, I will have to find a local welding/engineering supply place.
I will look for items for other said makes of welders, I have been having a...
