Wow that looks like a submarine. You'll blast the car away.
Nice to have the kit though I'm sure.

Wow Phil - that's a whopper! How many cfm is that beast? Does it have an integrated air dryer or separate? It all looks very tidy - great job!
Very nice, could do with that, where did you get it from?
Do you think thicker piping would have benefited you from increased flow?
Hi Ian,
I bought it from RTech Welding who were the cheapest I could find; and I've bought welders from them in the past. Good company IMO.
Regarding the thicker piping; no, I don't think so:
My hard piping is 15mm copper pipe = 13.5mm ID
My Quick Release fittings are PCL XF (Euro) = 8mm ID
My flex hose is 8mm ID
and the fitting on the vacuum blaster is some strange Chinese fitting = 7mm ID
Hope this helps
NB. This needs a 32A supply, so I had to upgrade my garage electrics. I now have a 50A supply with a dedicated 32A supply for the compressor and a dedicated 16A supply for my welder
once it’s running it won’t pull too much. Some sort of sequential start and you’d get it running for a 13amp plug . One hell of a compressor!
Not sure what I want to do about the dents in the floor-pan (I guess caused by jacking the car up on them )?
Give them a few whacks and sort them out!Not sure what I want to do about the dents in the floor-pan (I guess caused by jacking the car up on them )?
Leave them as part of the patina or try to straighten them? Problem is I'd probably make them worse!
What's the common consensus please?
