Finishing off that lower-outer guard I started yesterday, with a donated arch piece from the busted blue guard Brett gave me a few weeks back. Bit of a fiddle but got there in the end. Just starting to realise, too, that jeez I love welding 😍 #TheBomb #thebombproject #rustrepairs #tinwork #weldlikeaboss #hrholden #hrute #holdenute #myfirstcar #restorationproject #restomod #ironlion https://www.instagram.com/p/CHUPPHTATFW/?igshid=kswwuzvxyfql

Well helloooooo Stanley! 😆👉 Over at @divadpers place helping out with his #HRHolden project car. So far we've pulled the engine out and I'm about to start welding shit up #weldlikeaboss #hrsedan #holdensedan #ironlion #thebombprojectgoeswild #notaselfiepro https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJSYRWAjjy/?igshid=579gjwc9vza6

Cut up a bit of the new steel to practice my panel/seam welds this morning. With expert tutelage from @lord_e_lord I've noticed an improvement again, cheers Lordy 😎👍 I'd like to get this as right as I can before I put the mig anywhere near the original panels on #thebomb coz they won't take much to fuck up, I fear 🧐 Btw the last one with all tacks is the "proper" way to avoid warping, I know. But dragging it to make nice straight furrows is SOOOOOOOOO satisfying 😫🍒🍆💦 #migwelding #weldlikeaboss #bossweld #rustrepairs #restorationproject #HRHolden #hrute #holdenute #thebombproject #myfirstcar https://www.instagram.com/p/CEqTSUMA3SD/?igshid=q1hf9iinv4jn

It wasn't until just this minute when I ground down the welds binding these two little scraps of 0.6mm steel together that I actually started visualising being able to finish @thebombproject 🤪 Before this point it has all been conjecture and wishful thinking. . . MIG welding is fkn awesome! Almost as fun as polishing stainless steel was a month or so ago. . . It's going to be a steel-town kind of weekend here, I guarantee 🤘😎🤘 . . Thanks again, Lordy! . . #welding #rustrepairs #migwelding #weldlikeaboss #bossweldmst185 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBmy7p3gkoY/?igshid=1pya84s2uw2rd

Well I've sparked up the new #migwelder and despite never having used one before I've managed to not burn the house down AND I got a nice #sunburn on my mostly bare feet 🤗 . . Been having a bit of trouble getting the wire feed to work consistently, and finally found the nicest arc on this 5mm mild steel at 160V (?) and at 15psi on the gas. I think. Regardless, it's a shit tonne easier than arc/stick and it even sounds like Finnegan and Tony on MotorTrend when I'm popping along 🤘😎🤘 . . More practice tomorrow, but as you can see I've written my name so I must be a pro-welder now 🤣 . . #thebombproject #weldlikeaboss #bossweld https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhxkKrAHJn/?igshid=e2zsc3vcivdd

Watch out! 😁 Thanks for the assist @lord_e_lord 🍻 #weldlikeaboss #thebombproject https://www.instagram.com/p/CBhorxKgeBs/?igshid=1kdocdipzrb0m

Tiny welds I do for these make that help most of you get drunk;)
