Thanks.... but I have to admit that significant flap-disk deployment was utilised to dress-up my weldsThat's not bad work, not bad at all. Satisfying.
I'll be happy if its strong, but I am trying to make it look reasonable

Actually it's just a tear in my overalls (though there's a few burn holes too )Lol at the burn hole in your trousers....
Was it the grinder?
Mini Pickups now are rarer than Rocking Horse Dung and fetching very tidy money.I built my first NASA autograss mini pickup in a single garage, if I went past the car in a hurry the sound of tearing overalls was common...
Oh I'm happy enough with how things are going so far (& yes, some people have a brass neck with what they pass off and charge good money for).Don't put your self down, have you seen some of the stuff people pay professionals to do?
Keep up the good work, certainly getting there.
Thank you for the support & encouragement. This site & its members are a mine of information, tips and useful stuff (& the catalyst for a dented wallet & a much larger toolbox )Keep going, you've the right approach. And when it's done, invest in cavity wax and anti corrosion. doesn't take much to stop rust if you don't care what it looks like....
interesting and glad you got on well with the flux core , can I ask what brand ,cheersDidn't get the cross-member in.
I did get the Sill plate made and welded in though - but it was a bit of an awkward faff (or could be I'm just a bit rubbish).
Wind got up so I couldn't use gas welding to finish welding the Sill plate.... so I switched polarity on the Oxford & bunged in some Flux Core 0.8mm.
Happily the Oxford welded really nicely with the FC, nice sizzle and could tack the panel without blowing through on Setting 2, wire speed about 3.5.
Hopefully get the x-member sorted tomorrow, then I can look to repair the wheelarch ready to go back in.
Still plenty to do after that.
