found this gem when working on one of the utes.
found it leaking right at that rust spot. a mechanic had previously welded it back together after it broke.
even the old man thought it was crap welding.
looks like steel mig on stainless tubing.

problem was my welding gear is stored away due to having the ute in the garage taking up all the room.
fixed the ute, got it out the door, then dragged all the welding gear out, for about 20 seconds of welding.

sorry no pic of the repair of the repair. it needed to be fitted and its a boring little weld spot. tig, 309 nothing fancy.

just annoying having to fix other peoples fixes.

At least it’s fixed and you have the satisfaction of having the skills to do it. Good job!
