subikid90 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have seen a few people around here that have welded some parts for their cars. I have a lot of thing I have made, not much for my car yet though. Lets get a picture thread going for your welding projects. Post your welding setup also! We can use this for welding help also. I will take some pictures of my projects and post them later. I currenly have a miller millermatic 140, miller tombstone 225 AC and a small no name 110v stick for sheet metal. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

987687 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The only welding I've done on my Legacy is fixing the exhaust. heh. BUT my GL has had some serious welding love... Most of it has been exhaust and body work, but some custom addons. I made a custom rear bumper with trailer hitch http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/89%20GL/IMG_3220.jpg And just recently made a bike rack with spare steel laying around in the garage http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/987687/89%20GL/IMG_3984-3.jpg I also welded 01 OBS seats in, but no pics of the welding there.. Sorry no legacy pics, but you could do all this stuff on a leaggy I won't post any of my body work welding because it's not the best. hah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibob6 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You should modify a Police pusher to fit our cars. It would be way cooler than a light bar because you can hit stuff with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted October 19, 2011 I Donated Share Posted October 19, 2011 You should modify a Police pusher to fit our cars. It would be way cooler than a light bar because you can hit stuff with it! I couldn't agree with you more skiboobs! That is actually a REALLY good idea. If I had one of those, I could push cars instead of pulling them with a rope! And I wouldn't be worried about hitting trees when I go on the trails -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

subikid90 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Built a master cylinder brace today of 1/4" & 3/16" 6061 AL.

987687 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That looks really good! Nice job there. I'd really love to get a TIG some day, they're not practical for everything, but damn I can make some pretty welds with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subikid90 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks! Ever since ditching my Mig machine I have not had a project where I needed it. My machine will stick weld also. The ability to do aluminum and stainless without switching gases or setting up a spool gun sold me. -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subikid90 Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Nope just cut and welded as I went lol To make it worse my jig saw I normally use to cut aluminum took a sh*t the other day so these were all cut with a hand saw lol -Subikid90 1997 Legacy GT 5spd & EJ251 w/EJ25D heads ~10.5CR 1998 Legacy GT Limited waiting for EJ22T hybrid swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomistopheles Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 That CAI is on my frankenmotor now Subikid90 also made me a single port header. Doesn't wrap around the front like most UELs, but unequal enough to make the car sound like a subaru again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
