G'day all,

I finally got around to finding a decent TIG at a good price and having
some slavings at the same time!

I got a 200 AMP AC/DC inverter Stick/TIG
plus goodies

Ive done limited TIG and and keen to get into it.

custom, custom, custom creations

To keep this thread going an interesting can you please list up as you learn and put up pics of anything you do. Have seen a rally fabricator near finished pushy frame - you'd swear a robot did it!

I sure will! I've got a few short list of things.
- Replacing the factory ore turbo hose with a stainless item
- maybe a custom header tank?
- add port for air temp sensor in inlet manifold

more to follow

it's like Christmas!

How much did that set you back - aren't they like mega expensive ?
I could only afford to buy a little 140amp 2nd hand mig for $200

I used to know a guy that was a guru on tig welding - did my custom alloy motorbike frame and it was W-A-Y better than the factory welds. Good luck and hopefully you will be as good as this guy one day

I'll be sucking as much information from the forum as i can
