Tony - thanks to your detailed threads & explanations I've managed my own first invisible repair on a door skin. My boss can't teach me anything - but you can. And I want to thank you for that! Keep on doing what you do! |

Sorry for the delay guys, bit of an update, but not a huge one Brian Dropped these off yesterday  New floor bungs for the rear floors, which was timely as i'd just stripped the sound deadening pad off  Decided to take a break from the welding and pulled off the rear strut  So I could get in to clean the last bit of the inner arch  Also discovered this hiding on the strut tower  So out with the powerfile and the Bilthamder Rust converter  Then a skim of filler on the sill joints, rear one needs a bit more work   When I had been doing the rear arch, I noticed some filler in it already, decided to explore this a bit more, looks like its seen a bit of action here before also, filler went all the way back to the petrol flap  Will try to knock some of that out but will need to skim it again |

Top work Tony
I see you remove loads of spot welds, I'm doing the same on my Manta but I'm getting frustrated at the cutting ability of my presto spot weld bits!
They seem to go dull after about 10 welds. I have 6mm and 8mm drills
They are brand new. I tried to resharpen one on the bench grinder, that didn't work.
How do you keep yours sharp?

incredible work as usual, genuine old school craftmanship. in isolation from your fabricating its really interesting to see the anatomy of cars, like internal bits and bobs youd never see unless on a production line.

Kev You do need to keep the drills sharp, I did a peice back on the Victor thread about how to sharpen them retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=readersrides&thread=65793&page=5#922975 |
