Crikey, I wouldn't trust that "chicken shit" welding.

In fact it looks as though that particular chicken had been on the vindaloo the night before.

Even the roughest welding can be smartened up with a bit of grinding, looks like they couldn't be bothered to do that.

Very poor on a "show" car.

Cheers

Chris

It does look pretty awful, but the others look reasonable. I don't in any way want to defend that but could it be they ran out of gas on that last weld and didn't have time to get a new bottle? Just giving the benefit of doubt ? But it does look pretty crappy.

no, most of the other welds look just as shite to me, just dressed with the grinder afterwards!!!

When you looked closely they were all absolute crap!

Porosity was evident in nearly all of them, as was grinding away of a lot of the tube near to the welds where dressing had been done.

I am just disgusted because there are people being paid to put that car there.

I am looking to work/set up a business in the automotive engineering area (hopefully) and know I would be bankrupt in days if I EVER attempted to show somebody work like that!!!

DISGUSTING





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning
