Howdy all.
I've a R-tech 161 i've been trying to teach tig weld with. I've made some brackets and my car(240Z) is now on a spit upside down.
I've got a few repairs to make to the floor(cars from arizona so never welded yet). I can have the car upside down so I can lean on it in a nice position.
Floor and sheet for repair is 1.0mm.
Basically is it possible to get nice welds without distorting the panel? What are the best shapes to cut out to prevent the floor distorting? I've about 4 bits the same shape/size of a credit card to do. what is the best way to hold the repair sections in position?
Also 2 new frame rails where the others have been subjected to dodgy jacking. They're spot welded on, so drilled the welds out to remove. I'm thinking using some cleco's to hold them in position then from the inside creating a weld pool to weld back in position, basically to join the floor back to the rails.... Does this sound like the best way to go about it?
Sorry for all the questions!
