Anyone know of a mobile welder who could come around while I’ve got my zeds guts out

 

[ZedHead]

Had a closer look at my welds today and i recon its a priority with the poly bushes going in . . .hence the need for a mobile welder!

I would agree, also clean and grease that brake pipe too.

I agree, to the point I’m replacing my brake lines, was an advisory on the condition report so got the tools, need to learn the skills!

 

[ZedHead]

Do you think the fuel lines could be cleaned and painted? Got quoted loads from Bmw new lines so I’m going to leave them if I can . . . Approx £260 for 3 pipes?!

Some how only just bumped into this thread
Making for a great read @ZedHead and great work done on the car

So, got those bushes in using a strap, bit of a mission but got there in the end. Aluminium painted the back of the diff and played with the arbs.

[ZedHead]

Oh wait . . . 1 step forward 2 back...the brake caliper red paint did not like the clear lacquer, started going soft ....

[ZedHead]

Moving swiftly on, got https://s-jones-mobile-car-repairs-mobile-welding.business.site/ welding guy coming tomorrow to price up the boot strengthening, i would love to hear from you guys what the price should be!

I also have another issue ill have to get around to. When i took off my exhaust from gathering exhaust manifold i had to cut the nuts and in the process have messed up 2x of the bolts. Are these fixed, parts list shows them to be separate but a lump hammer suggests otherwise? I’m planning on doing the manifold upgrade and wonder if these are fixed and I’ve . . . Then is there an upgrade? Great to hear some feedback on this.

@ZedHead .... great write up and pics... a huge resource for some of us that are not mechanics and offering a little hope that we too can get some of these jobs complete without paying huge labour bills
