AHaidet's '93 1.8 swap with FM kit and MS3x
#62
I had just purchased a TIG welder (another garage toy) for a good deal over the winter. I have had only minimal experience TIG welding on the FSAE car in college. But have been practicing on scrap metal with a friend who is an excellent welder watching over my shoulder.
I wasn't confident I could tack weld the flanges to the pipe with the TIG while laying under the car so I used my MIG welder to run a few tacks to hold the pieces together.
I set the test pipe up on the work bench and began TIG welding the flanges to the pipe:
I feel pretty good about my first attempt to make a useful part with the TIG welder...
Still could use a little practice to make it pretty but I think it will hold.
