My MK6 Thorpy!

[Punto443]

Looking good I had a few repairs to do after striping as well,

Good work were you always a welder or have you picked it up since buying the van

I weld at work but i use Tig and stick, so Mig a new type of welding for me, always had in my head that Mig wasnt as good of a weld. But iv got used to it, and i must say if time is taken you can get some great results. Thats my mate in the picture welding the inner arch, as that side was his pride and joy

I am really impressed with my new welder, its a clarke 135turbo gas, its a great little welder with good penetration, and cheap to buy
