Hi Guys,
Need some help with panel replacement.
1- Are they just lap welded as shown in the pics of my ute? You dont have to make flanges and make it look flush to the body?
2- I have got a Cigweld 135 Mig with 0.8 wire. Will this be enough for spot welding? Please note that I have never done spot welding in my life so would really appreciate if could be given some advice.
3- Any advice with cutting out panels? What is the best spot weld drill bit to use and do you recommend a grinder to cut panels or a nibbler.
4- I am planning to replace the whole panel but a bit concerned if the reproduction panels will fit in properly. Heard musclecarpartsaus make really good reproduction.
5- Do I have to strip the new panels to bare metal and then apply primer or primer can be applied to the new panels directly .
Any comments/suggestion would be really appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Ron.
