Well done and easier to follow than the explanations on paper by the Practical Classics Magazine experts on bodywork from panelbeating to welding. Pictures and video's together form a worthwhile experience, but also a warning on what one is up against if the choice is made to repair bodywork sections instead of buying prefabricated repair pieces...
I actually love that idea! I'll have a think to see what sound effects I can come up with! Maybe one of the large doors in Star Trek! Any visible welds will be ground back, filled and sanded when the panels are fitted to the car.
Hi Ross. I see you are using 0.9mm flux core wire. Have a look at Fitzies Fabrications channel. I think a thinner wire may produce better welds. Less heat and less height to your puddles. 0.6mm flux core is available. I just bought some to try.
Invest in a couple of feet of heavy angle iron easier using clamps in a vice for folding your metal. Also try spot welding , drill 10 mm or so holes along your new piece and weld into the drill holes and grind smooth , easier than a butt weld if it’s possible to do. 🖖
Great progress!
Thanks! I'm happy being back working on it.

Great job mate 👍🏻
Thanks very much!
To cover the squeak when you open the helmet, you should edit in an epic sound effect like a castle portcullis being lifted 😂
At 18:40 will that weld beading show through the paint, or will it be filled and sanded first?

In darkness, you can shine a light and look on the opposite side for any pinholes which you can reweld.
That's a great idea! I never thought of that. Thanks!
Sweet
It's going to be a seriously cool car when it's done!
Soup Classic Motoring restored his Range Rover (the rustiest vehicles on Earth) with a gasless welder from Aldi. You're in good company!
Cheers! Yeah I think I can make it work for me.
Nice work. Looking good 👍
Thanks! Yeah we're getting places now!

Yeah I need to sit down and watch through his channel. A lot of people have suggested him.
Love your work mate. Keep it up.
@@stevelintern9428 thanks! Will do!

Thanks! That's good advice.
There's potential for absolute carnage learning to weld (regardless of equipment) and you've avoided all of it and gone straight to a solid repair.
Thanks! I actually impressed myself to be honest!
Another great progress video on the MG, did you manage to get rid of the squeek on the welding helmet?
I capitulated and lubricated it. It still squeaks! First world problems, eh?
Going well!!! Put some silicone spray on the helmet!!!
I reckon if I do that it won't stay up then.
Well I've seen a lot worse welding than that, well done fella..
Thanks very much!
Sorry I can't watch any B stuff . I rebuild a 66 B and never again
Why?? What did you not like about it?
had so much rust was really a parts car but the lady I bought it off begged me to restore it so I did .
Huge effort turned out great
@@kev.fwestofireland334 Well then you should be proud of what you did! Plus, any future projects will seem like a doddle by comparison.
In the middle of my 86 t25 very slow
Keep at it! You'll get there in the end!
