Krullibulls Ae86 BEAMS is the only way

[krullibull]

Did some more work this weekend. Really had hoped I'd be fitting the engine by now but there's still time i guess







Decided that it was probably best to remove all the stuff from the firewall before I start welding there. Also found about 1kg of asphalt mats and some light rust under it.

If I feel that I have the time I might rewire the whole car.

Not much left to weld either. Should definitely be done with it next weekend now that I really have it figured out.

It was a huge help! Also found that making a long point on the electrode worked better (think wooden spear).

I have a Kemppi MinarcTig 180. It's in the same range as yours but the only thing I feel it's lacking is a pulse function. The torch I'm using is Kemppi TTC 160S and I would buy a new one in a heartbeat if this one breaks.
