Cleaning up holes in the 1969 VW Beetle Wheel Wells...Still...

I'm still learning to weld. Earlier, I cut out bad metal and fit in new metal. This is my effort at plug welding small holes and welding metal on top of fragile 50 year old sheet metal. I am working with adjusting the heat, spooling wire and etc.

I cut new sheet metal to fit. Drilled holes and welded them in place. 

I will buy some sealer to prevent water from coming in. This VW has lots of sealer in place from the factory. I had to grind it off, but will replace it later.




This is inside the car looking at the wheel well.
