Were you welding for rust repair or collision repair? I'd like to improve my welding skills.

This car was used in a snowy area. The previous owner gave up on the car inspection due to rust, so I got it for almost free. I replaced all the side sills at that time, but after 4 years, the rear area has also started to rust. I usually don't buy rusty cars, but my wife liked it so much that I had no choice. Luckily all the panels were still available so for the most part it only needed plug and spot welding. Plug welding is relatively easy. Butt welding on thin panels is very difficult. I found some serious rust around the rear cross member lateral link attachment parts, which have a big effect on the rear geometry, so I couldn't just leave it there. Most of the welding is done, just need to add 2 reinforcement panels, seal thoroughly and repaint. |
