MGA 1600 MK II chassis rust repair begins

We start the rust repair process on a MGA 1600 MkII chassis by cutting out a section of rusty side rail, making a patch panel, fitting it and tacking it in place. Unfortunately lack shielding gas on my welder prevented fully welded it in

I'm interested in the fabrication stuff Rob!

This stuff just fascinates me. I have always had great respect for fine craftsmanship.

makes it look so easy! 😁

if it's just as effective to close the eyes, why are so many fusing with their helmets? although, i suppose for something longer than tack welding they could be useful.

It’s actually not quite as effective to close your eyes. The biggest reason for me in this case has more to do with the downward angle my head was in to do the tacks. A helmet usually doesn’t quite stay in place at that angle, if I could’ve got a better position on it, I would’ve been using my helmet
