i just need to know all the supplies i will need...
if anyone has done this to the EG let me know your story/experience and any problems you may have come across.
also i would like someone to help me out by finding a website that will show you the correct way to mig weld. i have never done welding before but my friend has and he could do it if he had instructions, i have searched but cant find anything.
thanks guys

 

its just spot welding. drill out the old welds, pull the old firewall. install new firewall, and fill in the old holes with new spot welds. needed: welder, weldie ha. its all pretty straight foward

 

i know this is a couple weeks old but can anyone answer me this...... do the spot welds need to be mig'd or tig'd? or does it even matter? sorry for the newb ? thanks.

ive talked to a few people and they say tig it. ive heard that its kind of hard to tig weld the aluminum pieces if you havent had much experience, but it can be done carefully. someone i have talked to mig'd theres and didnt like the support it gave so they ripped it off again and tig'd it.

im planning on tig'ing mine sometime over spring break...ill let you know how it goes.

 

thank you kind sir for replying....def keep us updated if you can. im getting my conversion very soon. although im going to hire a welder.....i just want to be informed before i even talk to one.
