Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd share this with you!
I went to work in Mary on Saturday, parked her in the workshop and noticed a weld defect!
The horizontal bar that runs across the car, at head height, that has my rear view mirror attached. At each end it's welded to bars that run behind the windscreen up to the rear hoop!
The weld defect found is called "cold lapping", just have a look
So last night, I set to and ground back the welds, found plenty of surface rust under the welds, so that means it's been cracked a while
Wondering if anyone else has had issues or if its my fault for putting too many horses under my right foot
It's all now re-welded and painted
Steve ;D
