Educational escort welding vid

[eil]

Noticed that theres been a few MK2 escort welding threads on the site recently thought this might be of interest so get yourself an espresso and watch and learn. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktqxFrJp89k&feature=relmfu

That was fairly educational, was that a cebora mig (red one) he was using? That must of cost a bomb back when this video was made (early/mid 80's)?

I was planning to watch 5 minutes of it as I have things to do, ended up making a coffee and watched the whole thing

Was interesting to watch and I don't feel I have wasted an hour of my life from doing so as I have never really attempted body work to any extent

Video was dated 1989. That Cebora would have been a lot of money back then, probably more than £500.

I can see now why oxy fuel gas welding has been left behind eating the dust!

But being honest, you wouldnt weld like that on a thin car body, it would warp like a banana!

Great Find "eyes" enjoyed watching that "eyes" That took me back as I used to "eyes" have the same colour and model escort "eyes" think I may have gotten arc eye from watching tho

I liked the way he emphasised that it was partly about safety then proceeded to chisel the wing off with his goggles firmly on the top of his head while his mate toused at it with no gloves on

He also welded over areas of paint on the inner sill where he hadnt cleaned back far enough. The film makers must have been short on time and on a tight budget

From what I have watched sofar it's a good vid to point thoses coming to the forum asking "How do I repair this?" or New to welding and car needs......" Maybe worth putting in Links section and point the above to the link?

I was having a bit of a giggle at Johns presenting, but better than listening to Bernie though, they could have cleaned the rust and paint off the metal a bit better though.

Good video, couldn't help feel like I was watching Alan Partridge teach welding though.
