    I need alot more practice with adjusting the welding settings . I'm too embarrassed to put the final product up here. I thought I had it sussed but turns out I was full of shit , pretty gutted to be honest but as the wife put it ... were u expecting it to go super smooth ? Back to the drawing board..

    Welllllll, I tacked it in nicely.. Started welding it in in different spots as per normal. Turned down the welder abit as as blowing holes left right and center... oops too cold now... finished it up and ground back the welds wayyyyy to far. Rookie mistake now metal way too thin and holes appearing. Time to take a step back and reevaluate what I'm up too. Fucked it up completely , had a bourban and a couple of beers to drown my sorrows. Look at it again in the morning and figure out what im going to do... #weldingnotaseasyasIthought. FUCK

    Wow , so it's been a long time yeah ! Sooooo I brought myself a welder to finally start on my escort again ! I've become motivated again and have started working on the pannel van again. Tonight I spent a long time making a patch for the left hand side inner wing pannel. I enjoyed it too be honest and not putting any pressure on myself to get it done... no rush = good job ! Anyways here's some pics !

    So went and picked up my bottle, got it certed and filled , all the right bells and whistles fitted .... Some $253 dollars later , but it will only cost me 90 bucks next time for a c02 fill . Now just need some welding wire !

    Ok , another question for you lads. What company fills up argon shield bottles around Palmerston North ? I hit buy now on a gas bottle that came up on trade me , Its a 1.5m3 supagas bottle. Also any idea how much it costs to recertify if it is due. Couldnt resist it and thought it might get snapped up..

  22. Jusepy82
    Hey has anyone used a c02 fire extinguisher as their bottle for welding as a gas setup ? Im about to pull the trigger on the cigweld 185 and need to start thinking about a gas setup. Ive noticed bunnings has a bottle scheme ...
