What sort of welder are you using on those joints.
You seem to avoid the splatter that comes with mig, and they look too beefy to be tig, are you stick welding?
You can avoid lots of spatter, by using the correct gas mix, and using anti spatter sprayYou seem to avoid the splatter that comes with mig, and they look too beefy to be tig, are you stick welding?

another day on the suspension mill, got the top a arm completed, fabricated the start of the bottom shock mount, lots of work on the lathe with fiddly bushes spacers etc. for the various mounts, made two of everything so offside should go quicker, stripped it all down for the full tig welding.just as an aside anyone in the district wants to have a look at the car as it proceeds just haul on by kettles always on.

not quite so much accomplished this week had to fit another engine into my old 200 disco which i have upgraded to a 300 seems a lot better, so managed to complete the a arms for the off side front apart from welding in the shock mount but another milestone completed, also took delivery off the tillet carbon seat and mounts which is very nice so i can build the mounts into the chassis.
