New to Body Work

[BruceW]

Hi -

Bruce from Long Island, New York.

I have started a "restoration" of a 1969 BMW 1600-2. One of my first projects is welding up some rust holes. The car is already a bit of a Frankencar, so I am not going for pure restoration, just a good runner. I am here to look to tips and tricks for welding, but mostly for panel forming.

I am working out of a cramped one car garage, so space is at a premium for tools and workbenches.

After I learn to weld, I'll be making a rolling tool cart/workbench/metal forming station so that I can make the patch panels I need.

I swear sometimes it is like I take three steps backwards to make one step forward.

Bruce.
