Old Leafsprung Land Rovers

I welded up my 80" tub not long ago. both wheel arches had been munched by the tyres because of **** springs.
Is it a proper synergic ac mig set your using or are you just putting ali mig wire in a normal mig welder? You will want 100% Argon gas not argoshield universal.

I've also welded up my front wings because good 80" wings are none existant.

It welds just like normal aluminium.

I'll see if I have a picture.

Right, I'm not sure how good that will be as I've never tried it but I believe it's do-able. I suppose it's not really that important to get a nice looking weld as it will be sanded off won't it, you just want it to be well stuck.

I've a couple of pics here, a bit **** but you get the gist...


This is the wheel arch, you can't really see but it is just a raw edge that's been worn away by the tyre, you can see where I've welded down the front edge aswell and sanded it off.




This is after I've welded a strip on the full length of the tub.



That's a full weld along the flat bit at the back, up around the arch and the little flat bit at the front.

Cut them holes out and let a piece in flush.

It will be fine 

going to need more offcuts of old panels then

will have to find other mig  at work so i can **** about with it then also have lots of spare paint test pannels from sprinters to play with cheers both
