Turbo Mini Forums

in the kent area. i need my arches tubbed and dont really want to do it myself. welding and fab skills not up to it

so anyone in the kent, essex area taht could maybe come give me a hand. give me a price :)

have you read the thread I think Jimster posted about this? it isn't too hard if you can weld a bit

yes i have and no way have i got the confidence nor skill to do this! id rather pay someone to do it

I can pop down at the end of the month & have alook. Got a link for tubbing you require?

i want them jsut like jimster did on his. and the miglias do. im tempted to try myself but a hand from someone whould be great

Had a quick search, anyone got a link?

Cheers Brett :)
Looks easy enough............

i think it took me 3 hours for the first side and an hour for the second side,
the most time consuming part is rewelding to the rear quarter to stop it warping i got one blob of warp but luckily it fell right on the line where the lower quarter repair panel went,

Main tip to stop the quarters warping is patience, weld half an inch, leave it to cool right down. Weld another half inch further round the panel. etc etc.

i did a couple seconds of weld, maybe 1/8th inch then skipped 3 or 4 inch and another 1/8th inch, i went all the way around the arch then back to the beginning. The next shot went next to the first, worked well

i think i may try it. cutting will be the scaryest part i think. idealy like someone to be there helping but worst comes to the worst.

Ill do it for you James, you big girls blouse.

If you can get the car to me, I'll do it for you, bit of a treck for you. I have a mate in Kent, I'll ask him for you
