On the car welding.

I separated my tail pipe from my muffler the day All & I went to Frank's to look at his mini.

Tonight, I decided to get under the car and fix the u-bolts that had moved. The car sounded like a fvcking ricer, but a cheap "no money" Toyota Celica. I got the one u-bolt off without incident. However, the second one snapped in two. PAIN IN THE ASS! This was @ 9:45, Autozone closes @ 10.

Like I need an excuse to use my welder. :cool: So, I moved the good u-bolt to the front near the LCB and welded the rear connection. My only advice for this project; buy a fucking lift! There's no room under a mini, EVAR! The car was up on all 4 jack stands, and I still had very little room to move. Add a grounding strap, drop light, leather gloves, a jack (to hold the pipes up; prevents sagging), wire feed gun, and welding helmet. I looked like a NBA player in a sushi bar in downtown Tokyo. I did an ok job, good thing no one will ever see the welds. :O The worst part was the top of the pipe. Um, yeah.

I was going to do all of this Friday, but damn the countersinks!!! Even if you think you have read the parts insert, reread it!
