damn it GE! you said you wouldn't put photo's up!

good job, i wish mine only needed that amount of work. i finished my welding this weekend too but unfortunatly good old Zoe has eaten me i the process, my back is absolutely caning and to make it worse i have to bike to work tomorrow!


Well I originally thought there was a good chance that my novice welding might turn out to be a complete embarrassment with holes burned everywhere but thankfully I managed to do something half decent

I think I have just been lucky with mine and caught it in time before things got any worse. All the drain holes did have some corrosion around them so it would only have been a matter of time if I hadn't treated the other ones properly and sealed them up. The drain holes in the front footwells on mine look like they are also starting to go as they also have some corrosion around them but not enough to need cutting out and welding (yet). If I do something about it this summer then I should be able to get away with just wire brushing them back, treating them and then sealing them up like I did with the ones on the back that were salvageable.
My whole body is also aching from top to bottom with all the abnormal bending, twisting and scrabbling around under the car over the past two days (I must be getting old) and my hands are an absolute mess with cuts, grazes,and ingrained oil/dirt that I just cannot get off with either scrubbing or chemicals. I'm certainly looking forward to the next few of weekends without doing anything at all on the car
