aha!! pm on route
If you come over one night this week if your not working ill weld the rest up and get that tray plated for ya bud shouldnt take long then we can seem seal it up and prime it once you have cleaned and keyed the engine bay paint may as well give it a fresh lick of paint. What about wires? :confused: :thumb:
Tonight? I'm off today :) what about wires? I'm colour blind remember so I don't deal with the electrics. Wait, how are you even online? Your laptop died :confused:Quote:

Then him and Danny made a plate up for the battery tray while I sanded down the hole where the loom comes through, which was then blanked off, plate

it smelt fresh that is all lol
Update without pics though as I forgot the camera again. Me and Gareth picked Danny SP up at about midday and went to get some welding wire and proper welding gloves, sandpaper smooth and rough, body filler, and three tins of primer (2 hi build and 1 red oxide)
Gareth finished welding the plate in the battery tray which I then filed down with the power file top and bottom (on hi power it just put holes in the car and on low power looked like pigeon poo and left snots on the underside under the dash bit, but its done)
Then some body filler was applied around the pass side strut top to hide the welding and make things look a bit smoother, it needs more on it but I can see the big difference already, also going to apply it down the welds along the chassis legs.
And between that and Gareth and Danny putting Gareth's engine back together, taking a break and dropping Danny back home it took up most of the day, although getting around Middlesbrough was fun as there was some street parade going on.
Although I'm sure I've missed something.
Putting filler on the bay seems will just crack? Hence why benns has plates iirc.
Good effort anyway bud.
Today was a semi productive day, after helping Danny SP with his car I got some work done on mine, all was going well til the sound proofing caught fire, thank **** its a slow burner eh
So there we were, Gareth welding away at the battery panel plate and I'm watching for fires couple of little ones and some sparks here and there quickly extinguished (or so I thought, hard to tell with brazing goggles on in low light) Gareth and Danny were hungry and it was my turn to pay so we got pizza and sat in the house and ate it, came back out and opened the garage to be met with alot of smoke, bad times, ripped most of the sound proofing out but it had spread quite far so had to use an extinguisher.

Cant see any damage and I doubt there is except maybe to the paint but the carpet will hide that, gonna have to sweep the dust up to find out more and thankfully it didn't catch the interior that is just plonked in as I had just bought some panel wipe and thinners and Gareth's Nova is in the garage next to mine, its fair to say I was quite annoyed/upset by this
this not finnished mate lol, PNG law states pictures or GTFO lol
EDIT Ah crap i posted to late and by **** your a lucky sod, it'll clean up and could have been a shoite load worse.
open your bloody eyes lad!
