welding cast is fine so long as you get it really hot, you need a welder with a decent amount of power, dans welds look really good, plenty of heat there.

Today I continued the project, first off all I finished off the down/up pipe.
Welded this onto the end so it now lines up with my ashley system.

I also welded some M8 Nuts onto it so I could fit a heat shield.

Then disaster struck and I ran out of welding wire.....
This put an end to the welding for today :(
My friend Ryan made him self useful and DA'd the back panel then primed both the back panel and N/S inner arch.

Pulled my finger out tonight and rubbed down two more wheels, they're in front of the fire now drying as I used Wet and dry. Will prime them tomorrow, and hopefully have them painted by the end of the week. Then Lacquer all four next week hopefully!!
