I would suggest soldering with a real iron instead. They can be had for around $10 or less. I worry that the cold wire jammed into the liquid solder without any flux would not make the best connectio

No interest, etc, etc, etc, but I was at a local shop today and saw a VERY good MGB project base for sale. It's white, and needs paint, but extremely low rust, bafflingly low for this area. Minor den

You are scrapping the metal anyways, so in the front just grind it away. For the back, drill out the spot welds and peel up the "vertical top whatchamacallit bit" and the inner sill will fall out. Sl

For somebody "new" to welding, the overwhelming favvourite is a MIG. Practice for an hour or so and you'll be ready to start on your car. Be sure to get one that has a gas bottle, the "gasless" MIGs

Be sure to get the inners and castle rails as well, if the outers are gone then so are they. You also need doglegs for each rear fender since you have to cut them off to change the rockers. You bet.

Unfortunately, it tends to be true. I don't know why, perhaps the inners are not painted on a new car? At any rate, the three panels all meet at the bottom, and they all rust up from the bottom. What
