Well, I've been in the garage practising, trying different levels, settings etc. And I now have some welds that I think are ok, I'd like some opinions please. The metal is 0.8 or 0.9 (I can't remember which my boyfriend said it was )

Back:
I did these with short bursts like on the thin metal tutorial.
I would like to know if people think I have enough penetration for me to start welding on my car? I did another piece with four strips of weld, and when it had cooled I tried to bend and break the welds, and the metal bent rather than the welds, and none broke, so I'm thinking it's ok, but would like reassurance.
(By the way, the metal was already bent up due to me being so weak with the tin snips, so it's not loads of distortion!)
Thanks people
