ETS Drift Ute – Wait another day!

If you peaked into my shed over the last week this is all you would see, I’ve been wrapping my body in, around and under every single bar in this 65m+ tube structure. I have learnt a lot this week about TIG welding, starting from the inside out, making sure you minimise pull, making sure the bar your leaning on isnt the bar you just welded and you melt to it. Deffinately a lesson in preperation is paramount. After work ill pour another 5 hours into the welding process and then its off the jig and rolling. Thats when the 30 hours of welding will pay off. Stay tuned!
