Some of the small repairs I have done so far

Repaired the drivers side floor

Underneath the drivers seat runner was rusted out so had to repair in 3 stages
First the floor

Then a reinforcing plate

And then finally the seat runner ready to be plug welded

The dash had the fuel gauge hole cut into a square, so I had to patch it so I can redo the round hole.

Ground back and a swipe of filler to level it up.

This welding does my head in, you think your going not to bad and then you start blowing the shit out of most welds. Have to keep telling myself that I have to be patient and I'm the boss not it!!
I'll keep going with the smaller repairs until I feel confident enough to tackle the bigger and more complicated repairs.
It will get done though.

Moving along Jock..

Any progress is good..

Try slowing the wire speed a little at a time to reduce weld build up..
Only have to grind it off again..

Very awkward spot to fix , not happy with the repair so it will come out and be done again

Had this sitting in the shed so apart it came

Pissed this mess off

Cleaned it all up, patched that hole and gave it a lick of weld through primer

This section I had to make up out of the donor section. It was rusted in similar spots so I took the good metal from up higher to make one good one.

Found the finish welding a bit challenging trying to get it zipped up without distortion but with penetration......distortion won but I can live with that.
