In case someone was wondering, I'm using a Hobart EZ 125 welder with 0.30 fluxcore wire.I can weld dirt with this thing. lol I spot weld on "2" and stitch on "1" Its not a pretty clean weld but it is very low heat and "dabs" really well on thin rusty metal.

Wish I could say it's coming out perfect but there is a few places i'm not happy with but with a little attention should be ok.

Capping off the the old hinge holes, making up seat mounts and steering column and brake pedal and booster asym. Exhaust is so close going to have to set motor block back in before I weld it up to make sure it clears
