Thanks Rob,

Il check it out. I spent some time welding today and im really happy with the result. I am just working on scrap at the moment, but after today i think im ready to start on the car. Its still a bit rough for the first 10mm of the run, but i will check the spools not binding up at the start and slowing the feed. Im getting good penatration at least so appearance doesnt matter too much as i will grind it smooth.

Cheers.
