Thank you for sharing. You could in hindsight drill out the spot /plug welds to help separate the two panels. Then fill / weld the holes when new panel is in place. It stops distortion too. I'm no welder but have done similar DIY in the past .

Joel's Stuff fortunately mines a low mileage van that only needs the very bottom where the rear arch meets the sliding door. I say that, I may well cut it out and find a can of worms!!!

just wondering why did you decide to weld it in the V grove rather than cut it to where the new panel size?
@JoelsStuff
@JoelsStuff 4 жыл бұрын
Good question. I thought that the V groove provided an easy way for lining it up in the right place. Also I didn’t really want to cut good original metal out if I didn’t need to.

Good informative video, it makes me more willing to attempt this job. What size welder are you using as in its power. I am considering buying a welder but not sure what to go for and haven't done much research yet .

My welder is a Wolf 140 mig welder (I think it has a 30A - 135A power range), although I’ve never used it above about 60% power. I would be more concerned about wire feed issues, as some of the cheap welders can struggle to smoothly feed a wire through the torch as you are welding (mine is pretty crap). It makes it much harder to weld and harder to learn. Make sure you read up some reviews and get one better than mine. Good luck!

Completely new to this and never welded before or used an angle grinder and suggestions what welder did you use?
@JoelsStuff
@JoelsStuff 4 жыл бұрын
I’m not the best person to advise you - this is the only welder I have used. I’d recommend MIG welding, and don’t go for a mega cheap one. It’s important to make sure the wire feed is smooth and consistent to get a good weld, and the cheap ones can suffer from poor wire feed, which makes them harder to learn on (the welder I have is actually a nightmare so don’t get mine). Good luck!

Hi mate I've just fitted my driver's side arch then noticed the inner arch is about 1 inch away from the new arch and it's fitted perfect,did you come across this
@JoelsStuff
@JoelsStuff 3 жыл бұрын
Hi. The whole arch is made up of 2 pieces - inner and outer (confusingly the “inner” sits nearer to the outside of the van, and should fill a gap about an inch or two thick between the “outer” wheel arch and the exterior panel). If all three pieces are set correctly there should be only a gap of millimetres at the most which can be filled with sealant. Without looking I couldn’t say. Good luck!

Don't prise panels apart like that , you will distort them. Drill out spot welds, to prevent distorting the flange of the panel, there are special drills for this that just drill one side out, or if you have to drill through , then use a piece of 'non ferrous metal' such as aluminium or brass, behind when rewelding. The weld will only attach itself to the steel!
