I think it's an inner arch so am guessing when it rains water gets in?Sorry i'm lost here,what leaks,to where?
For a patch over a hole where he did the prep...I'm not going to guess...I know what I would charge a (mates rates) and it wouldn't be a lot.How much(if you dont mind saying) did you pay for what you had done?
I missed that one some howThe OP started another thread, based on his earlier one, about patches.
Which clearly doesn't work too well, as most reply here have missed it .
Hard to see what was actually done from the pictures....doesn't help that its all smothered in various substances. I'm wondering if the fact that you put the rust treatment on made them think you wanted just a patch repair....with a butt repair you'd only treat after the welding.
I mainly do butt welding...for me a "proper job" would be to let in a nice piece of steel....possibly 2 pieces in your case (to keep the factory look). The end result should be difficult for anyone to even notice that a repair was done. Down side is it takes more time....and its harder to do because you can't butt weld 1mm steel to rust so all rust needs to be removed...and that could make the job bigger....more expense..
What you have sort of looks like an MOT patch....is the car a keeper?
yes the car is a keeper I have put a lot of money into this car and that's exactly what I asked for
My experience of using welders was I never got what I asked for....they were always in a rush and it always came back smothered in undersea!
If it's a keeper then you want to have it butt welded for sure....it will look better and last longer.That means finding someone who does restorations or learn to do it yourself? It isn't difficult to do but it does take longer...this is the boot floor on (one of!) my Figaro projects to see what I mean. Instead of patching I "let in" the new steel to recreate the factory joint which is a lot nicer looking than slapping a patch over it.
For me its a hobby....the Figaro was done for a good friend who has always wanted one...if you ca find someone close to you who does it for a hobby I'd use them as they will take their time and do it properly.
