Tornado Red ED30 - Winter update: Brakes/tyres/Home made valved exhaust
dazza:
The MIG wire has a flux core which forms the shield around the weld to keep oxygen out.
The shield SLAG will need to be brushed off with a wire brush or chipped off with a hammer. The flux will cause some splatter i bought some anti splatter spray which should help to keep things tidy.
Did you build a welding table?

Ahhh interesting, I haven't heard of that before! Hope it goes to plan for you! No I did not build a welding table, I just tacked it all together then progressively welded it up with short runs to avoid it warping from the heat.

Have you got any videos of the exhaust?

The exhaust is off at the moment. I have machined my own valves and I am now putting two valves on to improve flow and noise. I will update with pics once I have have finished, and get you a vid of the sound.

Love this car! It looks so good, I can't believe those springs were just a 15mm drop though!
