							iv got some front end damage im trying to fix so i have cut out a front section of another car by drilling the spot welds out and removing whole panels. 
				now i need to weld in the replacements but how do i do that / what do i need?, iv been told the cheapest option would be heating with MAPP gas and silver soldering otherwise use oxyacetyline and mild steel or a MIG welder i have none of these, but i can get the MAPP gas for a reasonable price. also how should i fill or cover the holes where the spot welds were if anyones heard of this or done it please point me in the right direction, thanks  |

							I used a mig. Spot welded the panels back together using a couple small g-clamp to squeeze the panels together with a piece copper behind the weld to prevent the welder burning a hole in the steel. 
				Took me the day to strip and repair with everything I needed on hand. ![]() ![]() P.S. Wasn't bad damage just buckled the radiator support. Was touching the motor.

							where abouts did you placed the piece of copper? 
				Did you place it beneath the second panel with the g clamp holding it into position?  |
