im not the best welder either, i bought a welder from someone on here i think for about £40 its gassless though and ive been told the one that uses gas is better as it runs cooler or something

i was pretty poor when using cheap gasless welder (90's and 110's) did the job i needed at the time but a decent welder with gas makes a load of difference im on the look out for a newer decent welder at moment i need to do fair bit of welding inc sills.

im a pro at the fisting now lol

at somepoint there been a dent in fron of the rear arch, musta been pushed in 1-2 inches and instead of pulling it out it been fiberglassed and filled

i was choking with the dust coming of it grinding away "hoping" for some metal behind it all lol
