Hello All,
This is my first post on here as I'm soon going to get to the welding stage on my Alfa Romeo. I've had it for about 3 years now and it was always going to be a 'project' car...name an Alfa that wasn't! It was in a pretty poor state cosmetically when I acquired the car and I've spent a lot of time, sourcing and fitting various parts, while waiting for the dreaded 'tin worm' to strike! If anyone is aware on here, these Alfa's have an 'acoustic bag' in the sill that retains moisture and causes them to rust from the inside out.
I've had some welding experience years ago and on the last MOT fail and the quote for a few hundred pounds to do the work..I thought hang on I can do that! So this is where I am now!
I mostly have the car stripped out and on ramps and have started cutting out the offending areas around the sill area. I've got one side almost ready and will tackle the other side when time permits. It's only on the rear end where the work is required at the moment..but maybe the front is a job for the summer!
I'll keep you posted. In the meantime I will keep my eye on the very informative forum/webside and would welcome any sources of inspiration to keep me going! Am I getting too old to be laid on a cold garage floor?? Who knows!
