Right, im after some help!!
Need to get the carlton back on the road, and the way its going, it'll never get dont before billing!! And after the 4 years of it sitting doing nothing, bout time i got my backside into gear with it!!
So a couple of guys off VODC have offered to come down and give me a hand with the welding, so thought we could turn it into a joint barn meet and get as much done as possible! food and tea/coffee will of course be provided lol!
Date: Saturday 7th Februaury
Location: 5mins from Milton Keynes
As much help as possible would be appreciated!
So if you can make it please stick your name down!!

I dont think you can as welder's will be earthed to the car and if they are mig, that's a lot of current going through if both are used.

Yes. Just make sure any ECU's are taken off the car before any welding is carried out. I know there's people saying that it's OK not to, but I've seen the inside of a few that have been left on.It's just safer and only takes a few minutes.  |

Cheers!! Didnt think youd be able to use more than one at a time, should deffinately get her finished if thats the case though!!  Dunno why people think that, as it's only a lump of steel, innit! I've worked on various vehicles with probably 6 or 7 mig welders going at it and two mig welders on one car shell at any one time - plus a tig. |
