Honda Civic Welding, advice please?

A member of the family has a 'S' reg Honda Civic, the bonnett slam panel has become loose at one end (spot welds have broken) seems in the past the car has been in a shunt.......and the mot is due.....

I can I use a standard mig welder or does it need to be mig/brazed???


Can anyone advise me, please.

get a couple of pics up. you could probably drill a few holes in it and puddle weld them.

I dont understand the question really but as said here drill some holes in the top panel and puddle it. Not structural there.

It will not be any special steel if that is what you are worried about, Boron steel is only used in modern cars, not old Japanese clunkers Just use ordinary mig as above, fine for the job.

Thanks Ped, I haven't stitched old cars back together for years, having read here about Boron Steels and Mig/Brazing wasn't sure when the manufacturers started using it................all old cars were modern one day........
