The strut turret was heavily corroded. I cleaned it up and zinc primed it some time ago but now it looks like this: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2012_092929-09-120003.jpg) So at least part of it will need replaced. I set about removing the one from my pieces of scrap shell today: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2012_092929-09-120001.jpg) This one cleaned up much better ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I've protected it with zinc primer (and copper!) for now: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2012_092929-09-120002.jpg)

I've started again. Got on with finishing the car roller this afternoon. Went to take pictures and the camera kept turning itself back off ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) so no pictures. Car work: Got one leg fitted to the second support for the car roller. The Portamig welded beautifully and the Sperian Optrel e680 performed well too. Camera diagnosis: I thought the batteries might be flat (although I'm sure I haven't used it since I last charged them) When I took them out to charge them back at home I discovered three were 2500mAh and one was 1700mAh. I'm hoping this is why the camera kept switching itself back off. I've put a set of four of the 2500mAh ones on charge now, hope this fixes things as I don't want to be buying a new camera.

Well, the camera appears to be fixed (thankfully) did funny things when it first turned on as if it re-set itself or something. No work today but they'll be pictures next time ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Well, first job of the day was to fix my pillar drill. Progress had previously been very slow as when I applied any pressure the drill stopped turning ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) Turned out the problem was this: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130005.jpg) The nut was loose despite being a left hand thread. Tightened it up and all was well again ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Did plenty of this: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130006.jpg) Welded captive nuts on various pieces: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130007.jpg) Welded together: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130017.jpg) Quite pleased with the Portamig welds ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) compared to an example of the SIP welds below: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130018.jpg) So this is where we are up to now: ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130023.jpg) I don't know what's wrong with me but I left my work bench area looking like this ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130021.jpg) ![](http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd520/fiatrestorer/1972%20Fiat%20130%20%20restoration/2013_010505-1-130022.jpg) More soon ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
