Beware.....flux cored MIG welding is a bit limited.....

Plus, the most important thing on a MIG welder is the wire feed....and if it isnt the best, you get poor results

Plus, if its a SIP (possibly Cosmo range) as I think it is.....they are a very poor wire feed.

That was me a week ago trying to load a new reel on my 'budget' welder while tryinng to upgrade my car transporter trailer.  >:(

Wasn't the welder's fault, I dropped the new reel!! Quite funny in a perverse kind'a way watching it unravel itself!!  :'(

When I say 'budget', it was all I could afford at the time and it was still more expensive than Aldi's one!!  ::)

Did you know that Escrote arches modified work for Sunbeams?

Kept jamming while seam welding the arch between the arch and the side panel.

It was my dads and he gave it away in the end - it was SIP

Not until now, but I do know that Ford Transit floorpans fit a mid 70's Ford Mustang Mach1. Not quite the same thing, but I've always enjoyed the idea of parts interchangeability.

I quite like flared arches to suit certain applications and MKIII Escort and MKI Nova arches/wings seem to lend themselves to certain things. (I'm yet to put the theory into practice, but I have plenty of ideas. The hell with originaltiy!!  ;D )

Actually it was a repair panel, and I inserted it between the two layers of the car.

Worked quite well!
