Today I started welding on my car. I have to say that this is the first time I weld to reallly make something. I am not unhappy with the current result.

I think you should make some more practice in welding before you weld on the car. It takes long time to learn how make some good welds.

Indeed. Practice makes perfect, however there is only one way to learn it quick and that is the hard way. Wink

You're doing a far better job than I ever will. Tongue

You are indeed right but this car is for practice. Its a race car I should not put to much work in it. Because its a circuit car also for drifting. So the welding on this one is a learning process for my restoration propject.

Today some pics of the almost finished left rear arch.

I also think I'll be needing some serious wheels to cover these arches....

Those fenders look nice! Cool
Are you going to widen the front fenders to?

Your welding is getting better too, a bit more practice and its perfect! Tongue As long everything holds together its all fine, even if it doesnt look superb its better than rust! :mrgreen:
