for two weeks you weld great

[@air_cooled_andy]

Thank you! I was very surprised and happy! 😁

[@franswijnands4022]

acetone to clean your steel and extend gas shut-off time

[@air_cooled_andy]

Yes I’m cleaning everything with acetone and now have post-flow set at 8-10 seconds 👌👌👌

Nicely done Andy! Pretty impressive welding regardless of lack of TIG experience. Really like how you tucked the exhaust up in the cavity. 😀👍👍

[@air_cooled_andy]

Thanks bud! 🤩👌

[@datbuild]

Extremely well done mate. Great to see the video against the pictures you threw up. Top job.

[@gordyl9247]

Fair play to you Andy ,very neatly done as usual ,looks great and sounds fantastic .

[@air_cooled_andy]

Cheers Gordy. The flange is a bit of a bodge. I’ll revisit that down the line! 😆

[@Andy5c]

Great to see another upload had gone quite for a while.

[@air_cooled_andy]

Yeah, it was all about the TIG practice this month Andy 🤪

[@backnunAndy]

nice work! one day I will learn how to weld and create my own as you did!

[@air_cooled_andy]

Great fun learning this bud, get stuck in! 🤩👌

[@shaimonmirzadm_]

[@air_cooled_andy]

Thanks! 😊🙌

[@brianweekes1]

Great to watch, I’d be very impressed if I cold so as well as that, in such a short amount of time learning. Quality work

[@air_cooled_andy]

Thanks Brian, you might surprise yourself! 🤩👏

[@dadoscz6834]

The car is amazing! You're an excellent builder. Do you know where I can find a shell like yours? (I'm not planning on building it, but I just wanted to ask.)

[@air_cooled_andy]

Thanks bud. 🙌 They’re quite rare anywhere but the UK. They only come up for sale here now and again.

Hi just started watching you're working progress and I got myself a mig /tig welder but been worried about trying to tig as never tryed before but you made it look easier than I thought so getting some argon soon and will try stainless but what about alloy I'm watching E 22 at the moment do you do any alloy welding Paul plymouth 🎉

[@air_cooled_andy]

Hi Paul. It’s all about the practice at this stage and sticking with it. I’ve not tried alloy yet, that’s a different beast altogether, a lot more tricky but will give it a go soon!

[@air_cooled_andy]

Don’t cheap out on the welding helmet either mate. I’ve had fairly good helmets from screwfix but the latest second hand miller digital elite blows any cheaper stuff out of the water and makes the learning process far more enjoyable.
