New from Canada

[RMSCDN]

Hi

I'm new to the forum and new to MIG Welding. My welding is related to a 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S that I've been vintage racing for five years. In spite of a meticulous restoration in 1985 that nicely covered up some dodgy work it's in pretty good shape.

Right now I'm in the middle of a project to make the front end (all steel as required by the rules) removable. There is some unpleasantness in the footwell area and the curved area that meets the floor. A wide oversill was used in the 1985 work and it isn't making things easier.

Looking forward to picking up lots of tips and tricks to reduce my mistakes.

Regards,

Bob

Hi Bob, welcome to the forum.

RMSCDN... I'm guessing, Robert MSomething, Canadian. Close?

Also, Google suggests you might have more than a passing interest in classic cars. Any photos?

Robert M Something .. : )

I'm located in London, Ontario, Canada. My first car was a Sunbeam Minx (Hillman in the UK). Next a 1968 MG Midget. Later another Mini. All destroyed by people behind me who didn't know how to stop.

Pic of my car at Mosport International Race Track.

Thanks

Bob
