Ive seen a lot worse, Davie.
I was told the skill behind being a good welder is to be proficient with an anglegrinder

I have to say from that picture that looks like a lack of heat (amps) which could be due to a bad earth.
If you have the time, practise on scrap pieces of the same thickness that you plan on welding and then you will get the settings close to right for the real thing.
The art of MIG welding is much like making love to a beautiful woman, preparation, practise and penetration.

the only problem with that, i have found, is that it is difficult to find bits to practice on that have the same proportions of paint/rust/waxoil/underbody **** and with thicknesses varying from 1mm to 5 thou within 1cm of each other that you find when doing it for real.
