[QUOTE="roy_1031, post: 16674812, member: 122960"] Those welds look like they were done with a flux core welder. It’s hard to get a good bead on thin metal and hardly ever look pretty, but it does penetrate. Looking at those pics it doesn’t look like it has very good penetration. It’s a lot of work to repair those welds and if a shop says they can do it for $500, I’d steer clear of them. They’re probably just going to wash right over the bad welds with a mig welder leaving the bad root pass under. The only thing that car has going for it is it’s color. It’s a lower produced color so who knows how many are left of the 242 satin silvers. If you and your friend can sort out the coolant issue before making a deal and you are up for doing the fab repair project yourself, it wouldn’t be the worst deal ever made. Pick up a cheap welder and start practicing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro [/QUOTE]
