Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.
At night the ice-weasels come...

I know. I couldn't resist the Ken reference, but that is really not how
to restore motors.

Maybe the Ken Reference was a mistake, but I couldn't resist. Having a
bit of a dark mood day.
Shows how apparently "restored" cars can be a total heap of poop and
weird ideas.

How can that much rust not see a torch? Even some bird poop gas weld on
a bit of old road sign would have been stronger than pop rivetted copper
sheet surely?

Simple. No MOT-equivalent...

Now go and say several thank-yous to your nearest MOT man.

Oh I've always spent money on getting welding sorted before the MOT.
I've even in the past been surprised when what I thought were going to
be fails scraped through. So much that I had told my "welder mate" I
would be if he wasn't busy, then been surprised that they past.

Shame his workshop burned down taking three local businesses with it.
Don't know if he has moved and setup else where or given up.
He lost a two post lift, all the general tools he used for the general
mechanicing he did, a very big looking Cebora MIG, and very large
compressor, or the spraying gear for when he was doing proper rather
thank "MOT pass" standard work.

Yes, but you got it welded because you KNEW that it would need to be done
within the next year for the MOT.

Remove the MOT completely, as in the majority of US states, and YOU might
still "do it properly", but I'll lay money that you'd be in a minority...

The French still regard pop-rivets as perfectly acceptible structural
repairs, too, and view our fondness for welding as just another example of
our utter strangeness...

Oh yes.
I've spent more on the welding than buying the car sometimes, because
mecahnically nothing else needed doing and it just happened to be one
week area that was worst than originally thought and needed a second
look at.
