Hi all, I was wondering if I could get some advise/help re Welding.
Van info
Transit 03 plate RWD MWB, Duratorq 2.5
It is a camper conversion I have done myself, but it has just failed MOT with Rust issues (as well as other bits!).
With regards to the rust, basically down the passenger side (sliding door side) the inner and outer sills need cutting out and replacing, from one wheel arch to the next. Also the outer sill for the passenger door.
I’ve been thinking about learning to weld for a bit, I suppose with a transit it’s a must! So anyway, I was thinking about buying a Mig welding unit and learning, to aim at doing work myself. I was gonna order the sills online, unless anyone knows anywhere better to get them? Also, any advice on a second hand mig welder unit and mask, would be much appreciated?
But also I’m thinking if this maybe is too bigger job to start with. So I was wondering if anyone who can weld and lives around East Sussex (or knows someone), would like to help me (for a bit of cash), so I can learn first-hand and do most the work and someone is on hand so I don’t screw up!
Cheers Mark
