Quick weld job

« on: August 18, 2010, 09:12:38 AM »
Hello all,
We had a nice time at the club meeting. We'll get there a littler earlier next time so I can have a chance to introduce myself and chat.

The lip that the engine lid is hinged to has let go on the right side. I don't need anything fancy right now,  just a tack job to hold it in place. Who do you recommend I call for an estimate?

Thanks
Scott

Scott...

Stop by work some time if you can, and i can take a peek at it.  I normally do the work out of my home, and have a number of others ahead of you right now, but a little quickie tack may not be a bad deal.  I just need to see it in person to see if it will even hold, or how bad it is.

Scott,

If you need rust repair on a Type 2 Volkswagen, Rick is "The Man!"  Find the thread in the "show us your VW" forum that shows the old rusty double cab he saved from becoming a pile of iron oxide . . . well, actually, he saved it AFTER it had already became a pile of iron oxide.   ;D

I drove over to his shop and he's working on a piece to tack up there to get me by for now. Too cool!

The double cab restore is phenomenal Rick. Really.

Thanks
Scott
