I know I can't justify a cost like that, and my little flux machine does a decent job for what it is. I helped user DasDelphin patch his e30 vert up with it too (pics in his build thread), as well as some fender rot patches on a friend's old Nissan Sentra and a Dodge truck. As long as it holds, I wouldn't think twice... Though I will say cleaning the flux and blobs off the welds gets annoying after a while. Copper backing plates help with the burn through, though, and otherwise it's not too bad or too complicated. Plus, no cylinders of gas to blow up the garage lol. Anyhow, props to you for going against convention and doing it your own way! Good luck with the rest of the car. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk

Just wanted to test out the seam sealer before going for it on the crucial spots so I fixed this little rusty area in my driver's side wheel well. I'll paint it black and then I'm sure nobody will ever know. Also I am wondering if anyone knows what the part is right behind the spot I fixed? I took some pictures best I could, but no part numbers to help me.

The OBC horn is part of the OBC immobilizer/alarm. On original equipment you could set your OBC to keep your car from being started until the correct code was inputted to the OBC. If you inputted the code incorrectly three times the OBC horn would go off.

Tackling the other side of the car (passenger) and I would like this to show clearly why these jack stand should just be removed. First picture is the side view of the jack stand. You can see how the rust found a nice place to party. After removing the plate I found a good amount of rust that will require me to rebuild this corner as well... Blah.

Ok, I cut out all the rust and wire brushed the shit outta of it all. That's always fun. I don't think it is that bad honestly. I will have to rebuild the corner even though I really hoped I didn't have to. It's all fine though simply because the angles are easier this time around. Here are pictures of the holes I cut.
