Appraisal of the front valance and cross member condition and solutions on the repairs.
Previous version of this video had sound issues.
You can’t go forever and keep on welding the little holes in the weld up - inevitably you remove more good metal when you grind the welding back and make it thin . Seal it with epoxy primer and then fibreglass filler over before normal filler - and then epoxy over again to fully seal it
Indeed that will be true going forward, but they were my first two jobs and it was handy ‘training’ for my first time welding.
Actually I often find brushing it on results in better adhesion anyway!
Time to change the wailing back music please Shelley! Something less painful to the eardrums if possible from the year of the Cortina maybe?
Nooooo, thats my theme tune! But point taken. I may introduce a special one-off tune for the next episode ;-)
@@ShelleysCortina it’s bloody awful
Hi Shelley just remember you can use any handy shaped lump of metal as a dolly, in the past I’ve often used the face of my club hammer, the end of my small sledge hammer and also the back part of my large axe, (that has a nice right angled oblong shape to it opposite the blade end). Nice work buddy 👍
Good to know!
7:34 😧 take it it’s a small cheap mig…slow the wire speed down and try it..
may have to go up a notch on power possible..
tack as your doing but you shouldn’t get those lumps that don’t look like they penetrated the metal properly…
coming on bud,i used a tank like yours but it kept blocking so i made my own cabinet and feed system,but i still have to make sure the moisture is out of the compressor two or three times a day,the panel you asked what it was is the radiator support panel.
Hi Ret, another tip regarding water in the line is to have pressure- proof glass water catch tank bottle in your air line (just after the compressor tank outlet) that you can see all the time and just bleed - off at will.
@@philtucker1224 so would that be between compressor and tank?
@@ShelleysCortina No, on the outlet side. The spray gun hose leaves the tank and runs up into a pressure proof glass optic with a little brass drain tap underneath so when you see water has accumulated in the “jar” you just drain it out before use.
Aha. Yes I have one on the inlet but I’ll do this aswell Phil. That should sort it.
I’m surprised how nice that car is underneath Shelley I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as tha if I’m honest so that’s brilliant, lot of hard work but every minute worth it just imagine driving it down the road for the first time gonna be so cool 👍
Yep the floor/underside is good. I’ve just finished some small welds around the tunnel and also the join to the inner sill. Apart from that, it’s fine. Shame the same can’t be said about the side areas!
Is there a trick to refitin front door and hinges?
I've not yet come to that part Tucka, Pete C's videos may well contain some techniques to that @cortinacity
@@ShelleysCortina thank you
