Will fail the MOT if I don't fix the floor, sils both sides etc. Well I haven't done any welding since leaving the motor trade 15 years ago, but some things don't change do they? the first time I put torch to metal, I was surprized to hear that purfect buzz of a good weld speed. took me back.... did several shortish lines on a 20g mild steel plate. Full of smugness I take a coffe break and a ciggy... Right try again, Errrrrr what why???? slower...no faster, bugger lost it!!!
