I've never really welded before, but bought myself a mig today from a mate. I want to start thinking about getting to work on the bits of tin worm after I've had some practice. As a starter I want to sort out the inner arches at the front. i pulled some of the plastic arch liner trim clips and away came the metal as well as the plastic. I've attached a picture to show the rusty bits on the arch and also the hole near the battery tray.
As a novice, I'm just seeking some opinions on whether it would be easier to just replace the part with a YRM panel where it's all cut and formed to the right size? ...or chop the rust out and patch, bearing in mind it's not a huge area. I had the wing off and apart from these annoying little holes it's all pretty solid still.
I don't want to bite off more than I can chew especially with this weather!
I'm guessing its 1.2 to 1.5mm thick steel if I'm going to patch?
Thanks in advance Andy.
