Welding 101 - Sheetmetal

[ethyl]

I am not a panel beater or welder,( disclaimer)
but I am currently doing quite a lot of rust repairs on several Toranas and all the metal I use to replace/repair comes from another Torana
the reason, one of my customers a high flyer with a welding company said this is the best for forming and welding as the non ferric additives in the metal sections are the same, mainly nickel content
the new stuff these days mainly from china and doesn't match up well
Mig with .6mm wire and short runs and I can do quite a good job, anything serious I go to my son in law a professional welder
