How fucking good is your welding

Agreed x 1000,000 Three cheers for the welder indeed .

I am VERY impressed.

I've only ever seen two other men weld like that.

One was a competion car prep man, who specialised in cages. The other is the chap who i've been going to for 14 years, who does nothing but welding and has been doing it for over 20 years.

Thats exactly what i am mate! Although im not coded, im self taught over last 10 years since i was 16 when i started messin with cars!

Thanks for all the good comments!

Well managed to get a day on the van today, started about 11ish, started with removing the bulk head sound deadening then giving the front a steam clean, then put it back on a ramp to strip the front end down to paint under the bonnet!
