Help needed with rust
« on: June 14, 2010, 08:23:14 pm »
As per topic title.  I need some help fixing up rust in my hatch.  I have no welding gear...just a grinder.  Also havnt welded in years and the only stuff ive done is arc on 6mm iron.  So im pretty sure id just make a mess with thin sheet.

If anyone is handy with a mig and some sheet metal - id love to hear from ya!

i think 4wd burnouts are pretty much the coolest burnouts. imagine if you had those colourful burning tires? a different colour on each wheel. it would be like a f***ing tropical smoothie tornado

Might be worth flicking a PM to Xlr8 ben. Hes a mate of mine in Wangas, currently broken (leg) but very handy with all things welding and fabrication.

Might be keen on helping you out if you can get the car to Wangas.
