G.I.jonas Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 After pulling a customers 4 runner on the lift for exhaust work i discovered why his exhasut has broken in as few places.He had some welding done somewhere out west while traveling cross country.The pics below show only one of the parts that i saw but wow.Also i think this was a body shop to boot.Just imagine how many cars could be driving around with this type of welding done to the frame rails:shock: .Im not entirely sure how some people sleep at night charging money for their work.1 of the pics is what a custom made exhaust flange should look like that i made earlier,the others are examples of what nothing in existance should look like ever,and yes after taking the pic i burned the part on a cross immediately in my backyard. If the person who did this is reading right now,please shoot yourself in the face at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNeedForZ Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 My 260z is full of crappy welds(and rat feces too) when I took over the abandoned project from a divorced couple...sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Playing the advocate here (no, I didn't weld it), It's easy to weld something that is sitting on a bench where it can be reached. I wonder if this was done, on the car, upside-down, barely visible, and with no movement of the stick, AND it was rusted with oil. I was stuck in that emergency situation one time needing to do a repair like this to stay on the road, and when I think about the gruesome weld I had...

vashonz Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I've made some ugly welds. But then I've also made some really pretty welds (exotic materials, interpass <300F), and tig welding underneath a table, using mirrors, and with only 6" on each side of the pipe.

JMortensen Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It could have been worse... at least it didn't break at the weld... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 It could have been worse... at least it didn't break at the weld... Actually all the other welds did break,somehow this one held up,i think cause there was not much stress on after the others went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
