In this episode, I remove three-lap welds carried out by a previous owner or a welder that was contacted to do it. Although I'm not a welder, I've always thought butt welding was more superior to lap welding but I don't know if this true or not. Either way, I like the idea of the repair being invisible once the job is done so I went with butt welds.

Next episode I have one more butt weld to deal with and then a lot of bad metal to cut out in preparation for E30 garage Norway's amazing panels.

join me next time as I slowly but surely make progress on the coupe.

Thanks for watching!
