tidy i thought ,this guy must know joe lol ,,he says im a bit nutty ,hes worse then me lmao ,hes just scared of welding petrol tanks …………..im not ,,,lol

lol,  hes gettin old, lol

i welded an old bedford cf fuel tank once i was well prepared tho washed it out then lowered the bedford on the ramp onto the petrol tank so it didnt go anywhere then sporting a leather bike jacket and acrsh helmet proceeded to weld it dont what people are worried about tbh  :mrgreen:

apparently if you hook a petrol tank up to the exhaust of a running car and fill it then its safe to weld.

i however am not brave enough to try it!

havent tryed this ,but if the cars on a cold start then ud have overfeul from the exhaust pipe ,,i reckon theres would be a nice fir on the go… 8O

small update
only had a hour free,this isnt the best of pic ,but it the inner side off the pedle as this bit of weld usely breaks from factory ,so beefed it up ,,saves having to buy a new slave at 120/vat lol

then quickly drillede and bolted in place

hit a small prob on the bulk head ,,nothing major ,so nipped a bit out ,as i wanted the hydrolic pipe in the rail,,

job done ill sort a fluid bottle later …

just warmed the bendy steel pipe ,and bent it straight,,,you can just see,

You certainly live up to your name!  8)  good work looks awesome!

lol

i wasnt happy with the rear arm as it was catching the dam spring and hitting the subframe so decided to alter it ,,this sorted the buggar out
fits and clears better


then start on the shorting the drive ,as i thought this may help incase anyone wants to try it ,
first cut the drive shaft to size and make it in to a pencil point


then once grind out ready place both halfs flat agaist the angle iron ,and mig tac to hold it in place ,then just give the centre a quick weld in the centre ,




once thats in place ,u really need a stick welder ,ive a 150amp one useing 2.5 rods ideal for drive shaft welding

right a little bit done this after , ,but dam rain ended it ,
so first it was time to start filling the drive shaft with  stick weld ,lol

then grind it up,no sleve required



thats what i call spot on ,,,,so lets see how true my idea with angle iron
too short videos,,
first the angle test
View My Video
then on the car

next thought due to getting a nice shock of the welder lol
thought ,

chuff the welding due it raining all day
so thought ill sort the clyinder head out
rocker removed

head removed and cleaned etc

checked all bores etc and cleaned plus decoked pistons ,

some nice copper spray to seal everything on the block

then split the std  3 layer gasket use the down part first

then another coat of spray and fit the head spacer to lower compression


another quick coat of spray fit the top part of the gasket as the middles not used  and bingo job done ,
and did a final check of the timing as i dont want valve nicely wacking pistons etc lol

final pic of the head spacer ,somert else out of the way lol

mate that welding on the shaft is a work of art ?   i take my hat of to you my frend ,lovin the build ?
