Hurricane Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 yeah i did mate, its not that hard just cheap playing around and ya get the hang of it, mig or a tig is the go, mig is a lil easyer though :P then ya just got to take your time with panels and that, can only tack weld stuff, can't just get in there and weld it in one go :D as it will gte so much heat and warp the panels or burn hole all over the place. went on a cruise up around the back of melb today with my bro so didnt do alot on the rolla....... AGAiN!!!!! but i did still do a lil work, more or less found more rust, found some in the left guard, so i started to fix up a nother one ive got hear, just got to nock some lil dints out of it, strip it back and paint it. then there was a lil bit in the right guard so i cut that out and luckly it has only gone through one fold no both so will come up good as. then cut the rust out of the sill almost, just tryiing to work out how i will go about making the front half of it as there are some folds in there that will be hard to make. also found that some one has took to the rolla with in axe or something on top of one of the guard??? why i have know idea theres nothing hear but good steel!!! WHY I ASK???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Posted February 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 welded in some other patches today, had to do some major shaping to get it all right, as I'm goin for the NO BOG aprotche. had to make a crazzy bend in one of the spots, made it on the dolly with a panel hammer and although ya can't really see it in the pic it took me 2 HRs to make it right and fit.

Jono Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 going good mate, you are a real craftsman with the anti rust mission! i pulled my battery holder out and thought that i should also take out the plate that it bolts to so i could clean up the rust underneath it. it was a bastard to get out - i kept missing the spot welds with my drill. anyway after i finally got it out there was SFA rust under it anyway, dude i had the sh!ts.

jamesrolla Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 if you can't be bothered spraying it with the gun, motors holden has a paint mixing thing in most of there spare parts stores and they can mix up any colour for you and put it in a can so it matches your car, doesnt come up to bad, i know a fella who did his whole rear gaurd with it after he welded some patches in and you didnt even notice it against the normal paint, but i don't know if they do it on the mainland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 i got a can made up in sydney at Cars Plus, they just look up the paint code in a book. My ke20 is the same colour as Dan's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
