... day 16...

And there I was happily stripping away paint and welding in little holes when all of a sudden my welds started to act up. It was like fireworks. So I started fiddling with my settings, which didn't work. Tried to weld another spot which worked fine so I started to get confused. Then I took a real good look (I was upside down in the trunk) and the metal looked kind of different and weird. After a good long deliberation I took the angle grinder and started cutting away. I took the weird pieces out and..... it was freaking zinc, or something like that. What the hell, are you kidding me....? Well, now I've got a few new holes in my bug to fill. Great. No pics, they depress me :P
