So I picked this thing up for $150:
I've spent the last 3 weeks getting it running ( it does ). Then I stripped most of the parts off the car. Here's what I've got: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Well, my attempts at welding have proved futile. I can't get these stupid spot welds to work. And if I can't weld, then I can't fix this rust bucket, so I guess this is now a parts car. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
The motor runs and the tranny works. Any takers?? |

I promise to drive my car, no matter how much crap is on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) your prep work and patch looks great.. welding is easy once you get the hang of it ... I can stop by and see what the problem is... if the welder your using isn't up to it I'll bring mine over... |
