This is my welder. My Dad came by and did some welding with it and he says it welds very well. He was able to easily join some 22 Gauge with the flux core and no gas.
Now he says he wants one. LOL
I have been using .030 wire. What difference does it make going to a smaller wire? My welder can use .023. Is that better for the body panels?
I am going to build a welding cart out of angle. That way I can practice AND make something worthwhile.
I have an auto darkening helmet. I also picked up some gloves and a leather apron as well as a hammer and a couple of extra tips.

Still working on building out the benches in the garage. The bench at the back of the garage on the right is the new one. I have a total of 18 bucks in that bench. I was able to use old stuff I had lying around for the frame and just had to buy a piece of plywood for the top.
And here is the latest on the Triumph. I am getting to the point where I really need to start doing some cutting/welding, hence the welding practice.
I am going to do the most critical cutting and welding with the body still on the frame to use as a jig to hold it all where it's supposed to be.

I think it was white. I got it under primer. The underside of the hood and trunk are red but there is white underneath that.
I haven't found the plate that lists the paint code, engine etc. The PO removed it and it is probably in all my boxes somewhere.
The main rust I have to fix is at the back of the B-pillars on both sides. They are spot welded on in two halves. I already have the panels to replace them I just don't have the skill to weld them in yet

I made a trip to Harbor Freight today. Found this "on sale" and couldn't help myself. I had planned to just build a cart for all my welding stuff, but....
Also picked up an ultrasonic cleaner and a vibratory parts cleaner...
And with a little re-organizing...
