Stick welding is not even that hard to get done right. You just have to have the right settings and do the swirls thing. Even my clumsy ass managed.
>>
>>27841101
lmao, you paid money for that? you could've gotten a local high school boy in industrial arts to do it for free, and the results would've been better
>>

sheet metal is pretty thin like <1mm
that's an older car so maybe thicker

anyway stick welding anything below 3mm is hard as fuck
>>
>>27841260
Stick welding on thin gauge sheet metal sucks. Usually you stitch weld it with a mig in short burst so you don't blow through or warp it from over heating.

>>27841135
best investment a $13 welder can make is a cheap,likely stolen, grinder. Good job anon

Wire brush until most of the rust is removed, either manual or electric if you can fit it, then coat with rust converter.

You need to brush it with grease and molten candle wax. I suggest scented because that is very :3
