Any thoughts, tips/advice or questions would be appreciated! and of course pics to follow shortly....
Thanks, Dan.
Hi mate, depends on exactly where you are welding really. I would remove anything that could get damaged by the heat (ie something on the other side of where you are welding) and anything plastic nearby that might get damaged with the heat. Make sure you cover up as much as you can when welding or grinding, things like windscreens / paint etc will end up shagged if you get sparks on them, and do all the safety stuff like well propped car, battery off, no petrol leaks etc nearby.
As per the PM mate drop me a line if you need a hand.
