When welding goes bad
Guinness - 29/8/09 at 06:56 AM

Spotted over on Pistonheads, someone doing a bit of welding at 2pm for an MOT test at 4pm.

Linky to PH

Do we think it passed?

Dont think he will have, looks like one of his rear lights was out.
Same thing happend a few years back my father welding my uncles car, when my uncle decided to come in and get a warm and a cuppa. My father came in a few minutes after picked up the phone for the fire brigade, my uncle thought he was joking untill he could see the flames, good job it was only a hilman avenger.

Yikes

Then again, my Clarke90 is so woefully underpowered I'd love the opportunity to set something on fire. It doesn't even get the metal I'm welding hot enough to weld let alone the rest of the car Hehehe!

Truth be known that's one of the reasons why we're scrapping the missus's ford ka, she doesn't know it but we had a small fire last year welding up the sills, I did have a hose pipe ready so put it out easily but did scare me when I looked up a saw the cabin full of smoke. The otherside failed big style and I didn't fancy doing even more. If I did I would ave soaked the area first as I think it was just dried out debris on the inside.

Does make you think though doesn't it.

Cheers
