Hey guys,
In this week's episode, I continue with the chassis welding work and off camera speak with E30 garage Norway to arrange a lot of replacement panels.
I'm getting better slowly but surely... I think.
Enjoy!

Hi mate,your doing ok on your welding and cleaning up.I am a welder fabricator by trade I’ll give you few tips if you like.Judging what I can see, it looks like you wire speed may a bit on the fast side and you need to to turn you welding set down a notch or two.Try low and work up,amp wise.when your linershing keep the pad as flat as possible and you could flush your welds off a bit more to leave no trace of welding.Im not running you work down as you doing really well for a beginner and welding cars for a beginner is a mare.The majority of my work is structural ie beams so I’ve got everything turned up the total opposite to you.If I can help anymore just pm me,anyway crack on and good luck.

A bit late to the party but still loving the whole shooting match, and dont knock the welding, it`s a proper art to learn.
It is strong and will not need to be done again so slap yourself on the back Stevie
