welding

Now I must say from the start I am not complaining as I got this frame at the right price and i'm in a position to correct it. ;)
The last owner was David Blunkett who probably welded these struts without stripping the scooter or taking it off the stand for that matter :lol:

Looks like it had originally been welded with a PP3 battery as the power supply for the welding rod, looks a right tidy job now 8-)

Thats a very neat weld there, glad mine are good as I was worried but its the rear of the loop that I am going to have issues with as its been crinkled and diy attempts to uncrinkle it are proving a big fail :*(

The loop on this frame had also been chopped and then another end welded on which was miles out so I had to cut and reposition it which I did twice as it was twisted and the loop was sitting too high behind the number plate. Nightmare is an understatement. Strapped it all up as I was on my own and it kept moving.
