Rust on Frame(chassis) Land Cruiser 100

[hsbashraf2]

Thanks i will keep the progress posted here.
Do you suggest painted undercarriage to avoid further problems like this?

Opinion?

picture in post #9 does not need extra ordinary skill to repair.

as suggested by @margallar clean the area with circular wire brush over a drill machine. apply rust converter clean and check if there are any more fractures need patch work.

As it appeared in picture after scrub and rust convert applied cleaned tig welding over the damaged area will resolve the issue. Use marine grade undercoat to prevent further damage.

in USA, GM and Ford chassis are fantastic, I hate the coating GM applies to the chassis though, its a permanently soft self healing coating that will make your skin black if you even look at it. - Its very hydrophobic though.

And both those brands frames dont trap water and are actually very tough built.

For Pk, Nissan safari have excellent frames, so do LR products. but both are "fail teknalajee" in Pakistan hence no use to discuss.

For heavy trucks, Kamaz has it sorted out very good.

I see, also which cars have the best longevity in engine and in body?

[hsbashraf2]

I called them some time ago and they told me they are more into vintage car repairs and focused on body works not mechanical. Any other good shop in karachi for engine and general mechanical work.

Just a story .
I order injection lines for 1HDFTE from amayama and took these to a famous mechanic to instal in Hyderabad and after opening 2 pipes and wasting 2 hours he told me these pipes are for newer “angine” i told him there is no difference in injection pipes for 1 HDFTE but he insisted that there is difference and “Gerari me b farq hy new engine ki”. .
After he refitted old pipes, they leaked diesel all the way from Hyderabad to Sanghar.
Next day i went to a very local shop and they installed all lines in 1 hour and all fit like a glove.
I don’t see any good mechanic in bigger cities. My opinion is mechanic in smaller cities are doing better job.

He also messed up my lower arm control bush. Any one know which brand rubber bush are good in Pakistan.

[Xulfiqar]

I think you are missing the lower rubber damper for the injection lines. Those dampers prevent the lines fracturing.

[dani_kk]

We do all sort of frame repairs. We use tig weld and provide clean finish on it.

[hsbashraf2]

Never knew there are lower dampers also. May be thats why lines leaked. Any idea about the part number for dampers?

Any other good shop in karachi for engine and general mechanical work.

try mr. irshad ahmed at jamil autos 0300 223 7538 for mechanical and for suspension/steering task afzaal saheb 0300 2116069 in lines area

Wish you were in Karachi.

I found someone and he can only do electric Arc Welding/ stick welding. Is that going to be ok?

[Hassan1991]

If he knows what he's dealing with then yes otherwise if he's a " siraf 12 gauge rod aata hai " guy then no.
This is a mig welding job.
TIG only if you can tilt the car and clean the hell out of that metal.

[hsbashraf2]

Thanks Hassan. It is very difficult to find peope with TIG/MIG welding machines and skills. You see all body shop are using some kind of gas welding and rest are using stick welding.
It is very frustrating to find good workmanship in Pakistan.

[Hassan1991]

I agree.
Find a guy with DC arc welding machine.
Ask him to use thinner stick. One step thicker then sheet you are going to weld.
Connect the rod to negative and ground the positive of machine to the body.
In this case less heat will be applied on the work piece.

[dani_kk]

If you are ready, we can share the container expenses.
Already have clientage from karachi. 30-35k is the cost, we will share the cost.

[Xulfiqar]

12 gage ka rod aata hai!!

Proceeds to hole the chassis and then says, “baboo ye china ki gaari mein bekaar maal laga hai”

[Hassan1991]

Then after applying barely 2 spots " bss ab nae jata ya kahien " .
