Not much point in trying to fix new metal to rust?
It's been cut back to good.

Oh - it's not easy. Or rather most say it's not. Like many skills.


I started with a Clark 100e on Co2 and replaced the sills and floorpan
on an MGB without any problem, then similar on a midget and Mk1
Escort. I did learn to use an ark welder first, after that Mig, even
with a bottom of the range model IS easy.

I'd love to have seen your first attempts. Most skilled work looks easy
once you have the skills.
