I'll throw down $ 200 for a used welder, I'm sure we can find one for $500 or so, Austin has the tanks so we should be good.

 

how about $80?

CAMPBEL HAUSFELD 115 Volt Wire FED FLUX CORE WELDER

or this one for $480

Wire Feed Welder PRO-MIG 140

 

That's bad ***, **** that gas tank ****.

 

I vote mig welder

 

I have everything but tanks for oxyacetylene....that mig isnt too bad, I think DC found a used Miller for sale. If we are going to consider making anything that requires significant strength on heavy guage stuff that welder will not cut the mustard...I think we should consider at least a 150amp mininum

 

I see lot's of burns in our future,

 

Miller TIG 185......

 

I like that but for $200 more you can get a 211

 

Always halfway up your forearm so you look like a junkie.

 

I can weld. just not great at it. I learned on a TIG.

 

I think we have a few red cars to practice on....mmuuuhhhhaaaa

I am kind of excited to see this damn motors insides

 

I know!!!! cant wait to do the next one ourselves.

 

Yea I was thinking tig I want to weld a whole bunch of **** not just steel.

I think we should practice on the CRX weld a hood scoop on dat ***.

 

I vote to make something like this...

 

That looks totally functional,

 

miller dynasty 250dx and call it a day. Only machine you would ever need for home use and light industrial.

How did the motor end up looking

 

well nothing "catastrophic"....there was 1 sliver of metal, some weird gouges on the outside of the front iron and most importantly poorly cut side-seals.

we shall see what comes of it

 

I just want to know what that marking is! it looked crazy. maybe from things being to loose and not tight enough. maybe enough to let things move around a bit?

 

That is a weird gouge....seems to be right where the housing o-ring grove sits on the iron??

 

Yep. sure is.

 

is it trying to separate?
are those scratches around the intake port?
??????

 

Just browsed quickly...

The pic of the 3 rx8's is super dope.

The CF lava stuff is interesting.. do you have a link for it?

That welded up oil pan is cool!

 

Lava mat was picked up through Jegs.

Quick update. This thread will be turned into SARX builds a BP renny.

 

Woot!

 

If the irons are okay, otherwise it will be another ported renny
