HR Holden gets Floor number 2

[@GregsGarage]

You're getting there Ziggy! Welding on top of that rusty stuff is difficult!

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers Greg...Yeah I'm finding that out the hard way.!!

[@Tanoble69]

Looking good. Nice work.

[@ziggassedup]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RustyGlovebox]

Stay after it Zig and you will have that floor looking good mate. That rusty metal is hard to work with - Going off like a frog in a sock. Cheers

[@ziggassedup]

It's looking worse than was expected Lloyd...Cheers mate.

[@snocrushr]

You're a brave man welding in short pants and flip flops ZIG! 😂 Great work though.

[@ziggassedup]

Safety 3rd and stuff.

[@RamblinAround]

Yeah, we usually take the flappy disc to all the metal around the patch. The cleaner the better. You're getting it done though, going to be way better than it was! Have a good one Zig!

[@ziggassedup]

Thanks for the tips!

[@rockerpat1085]

Welding To Rusty Metal Is A Pain!!! You Will Always Chase The Weld!!! Just Part Of The Job!!! But You'll Get It!!! Remember This, "Metal Health Will Drive You Mad"!!! Keep Rocking It Out Down Under Ziggy!!!

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers mate.

[@thewholls7176]

Good job mate, keep going….!!!!! Looks like thirsty work

[@ziggassedup]

A bit.

[@rockerpat1085]

Yeah Mechanics Are A Impatient Lot Aren't We!!! Cause Metal Health Will Drive You Mad!!!

[@ziggassedup]

Yep.

[@Thegaragefiles]

Looking good zig, cut out that cancer

[@ziggassedup]

Yes sir.

[@BILLZ62]

your mig sounds like it’s blasting out way too much gas.use 0.6 wire and tips for car panels.both metal parts must be shiny silver with next to no gaps for best results.use more tacks to limit burning through points instead of holding on to trigger.im far from pro was like u but learned a lot from others giving me tips.loving this series from scotland👍

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers mate.

[@victorbitter583]

Hey Zig. Have you got my number in your phone? My house phones batteries went shit and I got new ones and no longer have your number stored. If you have it, please give me a ring as I have some workshop machinery / little gantry and other assorted tools for sale that you or one of your mates might be interested in. cheers mate.

[@wtbm123]

Cool .

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers

[@davesweet7061]

Gas off happened to me a few as well

[@ziggassedup]

It's a bugger mate.

[@petergoodwin2465]

That little mig sounds good, seems like a decent machine. What brand mate

[@ziggassedup]

It's called "Full Boar"...I know the wire is a bit big for this stuff but it's what I have..9...I'll get some 8 soon...Should be better for the thin stuff I recon...Cheers mate.

[@petergoodwin2465]

​@ziggassedup try to get .6 mate. Perfect for cars. These modern welders are great .

[@fredjones1238]

a lot of boogers mate

[@ziggassedup]

Yeah mate...My first time at this...Any tips.?

[@fredjones1238]

you will get it the more you do the main thing you are giving it your best shot nothing wrong with that mate keep it up@@ziggassedup

[@blowngemini2031]

You need to slow it down. Also blow cold air with a air gun otherwise you will warp the metal. TAKE YOUR TIME.

[@rockerpat1085]

It's A Freaking Floor!!! Warping Is NOT A Concern!!!

[@fredjones1238]

yes but its just good procedure to get into the habit when welding other panels @@rockerpat1085

[@ziggassedup]

I'm not fussy how it looks as long as it's sealed...Carpet will cover it all up...

[@Buckswoodshop]

👍👍

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers Matty.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Fastest way to clean the caulking compound is blow torch and wire brush, you say mechanics dont have patience to do this . Panel shops just bog everything ha,ha, i used to be told off doing it properly. Problem is sometimes the customer's return and punch the idiot owner in the nose for wrecking his car. Factory 350 statesman, supposed to cunt the rust out of the quarters . I start cutting, idiot says silver tape and bog. 6 months later its even worse . The guy belted him and i had to change the whole bottom anyway. Great work mate , this will be a good car . The old red motors go really well.

[@ziggassedup]

Cheers Pete...I don't know how you do it...
