Today's job: seam weld the subframe
Took alot longer than I anticipated as you really have to spend a while getting all the years of dried out oil and road grime out of all the little gaps you're trying to weld up. Queue a couple of hours spent with the wire brush, flap discs and plenty of thinners to try getting the grease off. If I was to do this more regularly I'd get it shot blasted first lol
End resultlooks good though, just need to get it powdercoated now along with another box of parts I've been gathering
