Welding upside down is interesting

Frankenstein exhaust bracket. I can tell now the weld is cold here but for tge bracket it should be ok.

 

[bbbmmm55]

Scraped and chipped away the crap from the under floor of the boot strengthening area

 

[bbbmmm55]

Some protection for the time being till it can be cut out.

 

[bbbmmm55]

This weekend I was on the hunt for more holes that needed repairs. Hammer and screwdriver found these.

 

[bbbmmm55]

More lurking below the surface

 

[bbbmmm55]

Things went well on the plate sizing

 

[bbbmmm55]

Few pin holes to fix. Think there was something under the surface as a few of the welds bubbled up like little volcanoes

 

[bbbmmm55]

My next speed hole

 

[bbbmmm55]

Just a bit wobly

 

[bbbmmm55]

This area is one that was underneath one of the side step supports so had been rotting away secretly

 

[bbbmmm55]

Chop out the magic triangle

 

[bbbmmm55]

Even though a bit rusty the inner skin was solid. So cleaned it up and a bit of zinc spray

 

[bbbmmm55]
