Saturday 21 May

seems like a long time:
The new welder welds - yeah! first day of seam welding the chassis - some nice welds some not so nice - only one additional hole in car - hit some rust down on the off -side inner wing....probably another day - day and a half on the top side of the car including the inside - then we have to go underneath - I think I will tip the whole thing on its side to do this, including stripping the blasted underseal.... I am not looking forward to this - mega headache from the burning underseal today although the New auto welding helmet works a charm.
need to get some 3m rust and paint removing discs to clear the seams out - Fiat used a nasty seam sealer on these bodies and it screws up the welds no end (blobby blob)- Next time I am getting the shell dipped! (next time - madness - must be the fumes)
