    Welder sounds so much better than it did, not that I know anything about welding but it sounded slow and lazy, now it's way more sharp, great work as usual, can't wait to see all the cleaning and rebuilding of all the parts, just spent the last few months doing that on my Peugeot so will be nice to see someone else go through that pain 😂😂

    I'm going through parts of the same process with my Mk1 GTI 1983. Welding new floor panels and sills. This couldn't be more of a coincidence. Bought the panels from oldtimer-werk.de because heritage parts centre were out of stock. thanks a lot, I'm learning a lot from you! . Regards from the Netherlands.

    Doing a great job Dan, When plug welding push the weld pool around the outside edge ( it’s effectively a lap joint) and finish in the middle, obviously you need to work quick with sheet steel but if you start blowing through just reduce the amps/ wire feed accordingly. Glad you got the joggler mate it’ll make a difference👍🏻

    • @DanChambersDAC
      @DanChambersDAC  3 роки тому

      Thank you so much for the comment and for watching bud! Yeah I tried a few way's and this way seem's to work the best. The smaller the hole the easier/better it is too. Joggler makes the perfect hole to weld!

    Was thinking you need a joggler and low and behold you had one, certainly faster then drilling holes.
    Like others have said Halfords? Really lol
    Every other restoration I watch use what you are now, so plainly the best for the job.
    Good to see progress in a head scratcher area on the car.
    Keep working hard and look forward to the next instalment
    Nice one Dan

    Hi Dan love the detail and all the work you are putting into the car. You said about the welding gas and I wondered what amps you are running your welder on for the sheet metal you are using as you don’t seem to get any burn through but you are getting good penetration. Which I’m struggling with.
    Thanks

      Thank you so much for the comment and for watching Neil! I only have setting's on my welder. For 1mm gapped butt joins I am using setting 1 - Minimum and wire speed 8. For Thicker or plug welds I am using setting 1 - Maximum and wire speed 8. Hope this helps. I spent a while with some scrap to find the right setting.
