A boy and his welder

So, not too long ago I bought myself a welder to learn how to.. well... weld.. Specifically a Yeswelder Flux-135 PRO. Its a nice machine that can do stick, Lift TIG and flux core MIG! So, perfect for a beginner. I tried my hand at stick but I don't have the patience for it. Plus, I kept punching holes through the sheet metal.

A wild Sambar appears!

2000 Subaru Sambar

This is my 2000 Subaru Sambar TT2 from Japan and I picked it up a few months ago. I have always wanted one of these and I finally got my hands on one! So, what does welding and a new (to me) Sambar have in common? RUST! More on that in a later post though. Long story short, the floor panels are a bit rusted and are in need some TLC.

I've already done things to her...

ATOTO A5L Stereo

New stereo

Polk Audio DB652 DB+ Speakers

New speakers

Reupholstered door cards

Fancy door cards

Custom Shitty alternator bracket and replacement

New alternator

(I'm working on a much better bracket)

New Exhaust

So, back to the welder. I wanted a new exhaust and the aftermarket ones for this truck are kind of expensive. They also don't sound the way I like. So enter this fucking abomination:

Eeegads!

Eeegads! Pt Deux

I know, I know... But at least I took some leftovers and made an intake out of them!

Awww LAWD!!

Eventually, I'm going to grind everything down, plug some holes and paint 'er flat black!

Not my Miata gets a new asshole

Fast-forward to today, my buddy wanted to replace the axel back exhaust on his daughter's Miata. This is where I came in.

All welded up

Kelley on the grinder

Anything to get me some trigger time, I'll take it:

Danny-boy welding

Good shit!

Pretty soon, I am going to work on replacing the headers, as I have some ideas.

Stay tuned!
