good start...

in places, the metal looks like its been wraped due to the heat caused in the welding process....

what sorta welder you using?
(i work in a welding supplies shop, and personally like the Lincoln SP170T mig welder... they seem to be able to do everything that the home user needs - but im no Boily - never even welded before!!!)

Dont forget to take the leads of the battery of the car.

im a boilermaker old school, and your off to a good start, try not to run the mig at too high in amps and keep with the small tac welds, space them out a bit so to keep the warping to a minimum, once it cools down then spot weld in between the welds you just did.

As long as the alternator is not in the cucuit required to weld there is no need to discconect the battery (but it doesn't hurt to disconnect it anyway). To put this another way, keep your earth clamp for the welder as close to where you want to weld. 8-)

BTW the job looks good mate. 8-)

And don't have the welder parked near the LHF door/pillar. This is where the ECU lives, and they don't like a strong magnetic field being built up and colapsed near them.
Disconnect the battery, for the ECU's sake.

just a tip on the welding part' get a wet rag so after you weld a bit put the wet rag on the metal this will help it from worping
