I've been lurking for a week or so now, so thought I should introduce myself properly. My name is Phil, although go by Storm Monkey on most fora. It's a name born on the Corrado forum, after my toy car (Corrado Storm, surprisingly!). So a little about me.....I'm a Design Engineer, (graduated from Loughborough) and currently work for a large American plant equipment manufacturer, based in Leicester, as a structural engineer. This mainly involves solving quality and reliability problems, in cast and fabricated structures, including weld quality.
Personally, my interests include the usual DIY, car maintenance and SCUBA diving. My grand plan though is to build a custom car, from a suitable donor, Lo-cost sort of thin, only better looking and a little more up to date.
As for my welding experience, I can tell you about a good weld, but as yet can't quite get there myself. I've tried with mixed results with my ancient SIP130 (It's older than I am!), but the new MIG is now on order, so hopefully things will improve then.
Anyway, looking forward to hopefully contributing something useful to this forum.
