Lexus? Or a Polo?

You know, because of the holes...

Might as well document the progress.

Had a good poke around the side I believe is the worst. I reckon it needs doing the whole circumference of the inner arch on both sides, from where it joins the outer, about 4 inches in. 

Might be easier to do small sections at a time, although that means more actual welds.

Totally agree @DoctorRetro has come on leaps and bounds now.

Welding to mot standard isn't that hard with decent kit, mostly if you find good steel and prep surfaces well you get a good finish. 

The aftercare is the one, plenty of seam sealer and of course.... 

 

 

 

Cold galvanic spray 🤣🤣🤣

Probably not, but @DoctorRetro is doing it with a pile of pig-iron that I rescued from my old's garage, which makes his accomplishments ALL OF TEH ORSUMZ
