  i know youve probably heard it before, but i cant not say anything any longer. please wear protection while welding. the uv light causes cancer.

  Good stuff, you're more thorough than I was when I was starting off but your welding needs a bit of practice though! The welds look like either the voltage is too low but it could just be a case of angling the MIG torch at 45 degrees so the weld isn't just sitting on top of the steel. Try welding for a split second longer and see if that helps. Once you're got everything dialed in and you've got the "knack" you're there. Came up nice though once all ground down though. Another BMW saved is always a good thing!

  I can recomend CuSi3 for filling up the gaps between your welding points - its much easier and faster to grid afterwards. I used it at my E36, was a very good experience! Contact me for questions!

  @@RestoreIt If you find time they've done 3 E30s recently. They do most of it from sheet steel rather than purchased panels and show how how some of the more complex sections are fabricated from multiple pieces.

  Love the work you put in! You could save yourself a lot of time by getting the settings on your welder right though. I recommend using to pieces of scrap (same thickness as the ones you wanna weld) and just experiment til you find what works best. ...at least that's what I did when I first started as a welder, over time you develop a feel for what works as a starter setting. Keep up the great work, love the E30 and really glad to se one getting a second chance on the road. 👍🏻

  Nice. Try to keep a gap of 1mm between your new piece and the existing panels so you can fill it with weld. Then you dont have to weld on both sides.

  really great work but you gotta work on your welds! I'm not a welder myself but my results are so much cleaner with 0.8mm wire and corgon (18% CO2, 82% Argon). it seems you need more amps maybe? I also tried 0.6mm wire once but couldnt get good results with it. 0.8mm works much better for me! also get UV filters for your camera lenses, cheaper to just replace a 10€ filter than a whole lens ; -)
