cannabolics hachi...

nice project man. I think you dont need to show the welding you did when the car finished as they are under the car, nobody going under the car to look on it . I would be proud for myself if I could patch/weld my car as you did. good work man and finish it soon!

[rooty]

It just shows how precise and accurate cannabolic's work is. That's a big plus as these welds will last him forever. Someone just might learn the lesson from those photos.

Great stuff

[cannabolic]

Thanks for the kind words
appreciate it a lot

I'm not happy with the first result ( look a lot worse up close), but like I said, hopefully it'll get better.

Manage to spot weld the "middle" reinforcement.



Cheers!

[Jan Pedersen]

That doesn't look bad at all! And you are doing things the right way

[cannabolic]

Thanks Jan

Finished that reinforcement today.




Promised myself this is the last time the welding looks like this

Hopefully I will have some more update tomorrow

Looking very very good man! This is some serious fabrication youre doing, kudos!

[cannabolic]

Thanks a lot Apolan!

Started with the rear today. Was a lot of rust above the exhaust.

Cut it out, cleaned it and sprayed with phosphoric acid.





This is how it looks inside for back to the front.

Oh my, my car has even crunchier looking rear chassis beams.. Will be following this thread with interest.

[robokill]

great work. nice panel beating to recreate the shapes.

[cannabolic]

Yeah, but those welds make it hard for me to sleep at night

...so I'll probably deal with them later.

Meanwhile I started to make the rear. First, I thought of bending/shaping a u-profile, but that was to hard. It's 1,5 mm 2 mm thick and I don't have the equipment.
I'll just make 4 pieces which I'll weld together.




Will make two new ones and replace the two first.

Thanks robokill It's the first time I'm doing this kind of stuff and I'm enjoying it a lot
