MX5 Rust Repairs – Welding In New Metal. Front Arches, Wing, Wheel Well

My MX5 failed it’s MOT because of corrosion, I could either scrap the car, pay big bucks for a bodyshop to fix it, or I could buy a welding machine and learn how to patch up car panels myself. It soon became apparent that there were many more rust holes and areas in need of rust treatment than I was expecting. The wing/fender, the inner arch/wheel well, crash bar and floorpan all have areas of corrosion.

This is my first experience welding and properly repairing rusty car panels, so obviously nothing in this video should be taken as advice, you are just watching me work on my car.
