I just drilled through my cat.

Yup, I was trying to gut my cat when the drill went rite through the side. I am suicidal! Anyone selling used cats?

Anyone know if it can be repaired by a welder or should I throw it away?

Re: I just drilled through my cat.

You could also find someone to put a small weld bead over the hole if it's not too small.

The RX has left the building, I have been driving the G for about 6 weeks!!!!

It's not that hard to drill through a cat, but getting it to stand still during the process is the tough part.

Seriously, though, it's not that hard to do so "accidentally". A good weld might be able to make a quick fix in this situation and hold reasonably well, however you might use this as an opportunity for an upgrade-- divine signs?

Re: I just drilled through my cat.

I still have my original cats on there. The one with the hole was purchased used from my350. I just cant see spending 500 on hi flo cats. My neighbor knows how to weld, so I might let him take it to work and try to repair it.
