First weld done on my BB4

Post by vanzep » Mon Jun 15, 2015 8:26 pm

Sad but true its the first weld done on my lude.
Had to get a small patch plate welded in at the drivers side arch where it meets the sill and about a 3 foot strip in the centre of the sill from the rear arch to the edge of the drivers door.
Only a before pic at the mo but will get a few pics of the repair once ive finished a little bit of painting still to be done and get the sideskirt back on.
