Well, I need to remove the slag, and inspect each joint for good penetration. I can tell there is a lot of pitting and probably some slag inclusions so I'll grind the suspect areas down and re-weld them until I'm happy. I'll stop grinding when I've removed any pitting, etc. I'll re-weld every joint if I have to but I'm confident most of the joints are good so we'll see.

If all my joints are pitted and crappy, I'll grind them all down and bring the frame to a shop so someone can TIG/MIG them as suggested earlier.. Any idea what I should expect to pay to have someone do that if I end up going that route?

Thanks,

Adrian
