Default This is taking longer than I thought possible!

Blinking heck

Grinding away the welds on the underside of the other chassis leg went well



The holes I´ve made in the other end however are not playing ball. I like the controllability of TIG welding but in this case it is proving not to be a good method of welding as the inside of the chassis leg is full of waxoyl / rust proofing goo...

...rust proofing goo in the big scheme of things is welcome right up to the point when you want to weld (!)

I´ve resorted to arc welding (which is taking a long time but getting there)...
