Cool site! I always wanted to learn the skill.

I think more rust repair is done in Europe than US of A due to inspection requirement differences. When I mention "rust repair" here people stare as if I just cast a spell.

I've been reading about welding. (Haynes publication) I'm interested in trying my hand at welding up some parts for my Vanagon engine conversion ( - VC - ) here at home. FWIW, from what I've read, MIG welding seems more user friendly and appropriate for the average Joe.

Here's a great site with excellent images and what looks like really useful info on MIG:

there's even a video of the guy laying down a bead. There is also car restoration pics worth looking at.

Nice site.

Just thought I'd share.

Cheers,
