While I watch the out takes laughing , I wonder why you bother seems to be a lot of pain involved, but great job mate love watching what can be done with very little equipment and time. Cheers Ian
Nice work mike I reckon you should make a vlog of all the fuckups at the end of your vids I think it would be a classic carton of beer to get threw love it mate. And your work cheers, shaneo, nelson, nz 🍺👍
You're a man after my own heart Shane. I was thinking of doing a 12 month anniversary every year, making a compilation of all the fuck ups and one liners. 😂
Nice work mate. Geez ya aint scared to have a go. Ever considered some weld through primer in the bits that you wont be able to access afterwards? Check out the feed roller bearings for the welder. I'm fairly sure that one is no good. cheers.
How so, regarding the roller mate? What should I be looking out for? I'll be getting the entire shell dipped and stripped, so not fussed about anything in between, or surface rust etc.
@@shellberightgarage Open the side cover where the wire goes in. See a smooth roller and one with a grippy line ground into it. Remove them and pinch between fingers on the inner race and spin the outer. Feel if there is a tight or flat spot in the bearing. If there is, it will give an uneven feed and cause the inconsistency you are getting. Or it could be the inner lining of the gun hose. There is something going on there. It should feed / weld better than that. Or could be a poor ground. cheers.
The roller feels sweet. I've found that if I don't have the settings just right, it sounds inconsistent due to the wire melting too soon. I'm guessing that may be what you are hearing as the fluctuations sometimes?
@@shellberightgarage It's not only what I'm hearing but what I see in the welds themselves. I notice sometimes you hold it too far away and that won't be helping either.
What a master class in restoration. Just stunning work
Watched the later videos, now catching up on the early ones. Amazing work and attention to detail.
Mate, keep it up. You are showing that almost anything can be repaired, and you make it look easy.
Good to see you getting into the Landau, been waiting to see this old girl come together, nice work mate
The only thing I've see with less rust is Port Hedland !!!! What's next for you ? The Titanic ? Great work buddy !!!!!
Another great display of your craft. 👍
You have some awesome fabrication skills. Anxiously awaiting the next video.
Nice job, that was a lot of hole.

Another great video, keep 'em coming mate
Another exciting video. It was interesting how you used Tec screws to hold things in place as you weld.
love watching your work must be so tedious. you make it look easy but i know its not great job
Nice work. Luckily my xb coupe isn’t as bad but the inner sill also has the weight reduction option

You must really know those cars.
Spent the last 25 years playing with them, back when they were worthless to most people. Lol. Cheers.
i have to this to my xc to
That landau is missing lots of steel!! It is getting better with every weld!!
It's putting on weight!
Great work. Do you treat all those hard to get areas with rust preventative?
Not at this stage. Once the shell is dipped and stripped, I'll access it all and treat everything knowing it's perfectly bare steel.
@@shellberightgarage fair enough. Love your work!

Actually, from memory, it's only the smooth one you need to worry about.

This is so, so cool. I guess its got to be a ford, holdens don't need that much work.
Lies!
