Well I called by today to see how you were doing, but apparantly you're off shagging again! It's not gonne be ready for PVS like that is it now?

been looking at a sip 150 turbo what you reckon?

I've got a SIP 135 turbo and it's a horrible welder. It's not smooth, the wire snares up at every opportunity, and will not produce a proper weld on anything other than brand new clean stock. Mine is banished to the back of the garage, never to be used again

will give that a miss,i have a old clarke 150 turbo and to be honest its seen its days and it wont hold a constant weld and forever losing its pattern settings so thought id try a sip but i may now get a new age clarke

I've got a 160TM and love it, anything 151+ Has their better wire feed on it iirc, that's used all the way up to their 4 figure industrial gear.

Well Yesterday I started with this...



Notice the lack of floor and chassis leg....

So first of all I removed the rest of the leg.



And the offending item, notice this part is completely rot free.



Once all that was done I cleaned up the metal and clamped in the new leg I made last year.



I then tacked it in.



Made a cardboard template for the floor.



Then used a piece of 2mm to patch it up, I did clean up the other side before welding it in btw, and I cleaned the top side when it was welding in.



After a grind down and a wire wheel I gave it a quick coat of primer,...



I welded the underside, then got bored and went 'shagging' as Lewis kindly put it!

I would try a clarke one, very good value for money imo

[Lewis.]

floor looks good mate. yesterday was certainly the better day wasn't it?

[Balley]

Yes certainly was! thanks

[Benn]

I dared to cut the sill off today... lmao rot box!!



So i cut the top edge and down the sides to have a quick look.. OMG



Then ripped that all off..

Yumm



and the front



First hole...



Cut out



and another hole cut out



New piece



Welded in, and then I ran out of gas



So I spent ages sanding, grinding, wire wheeling the bay so I could zinc prime the seams

any way here is the results, just need sanding now ready for filler
