I would like to say that going into this I had little welding experience. I bought a cheap welder from lidl, expecting it to be a gas mig welder, turned out to be a flux cord only welder. Oh well. Im far from Mr money bags so I had to make do with what I could afford. I hadn't known how to set up a welder prior to this, so I decided to start on the floor pan as it seemed the most straight forward...

​​I had used a gas mig a few times before, but using this flux cord was a different experience, especially as I was still (and am) a very novice welder. Anyhoo this was my first go at flux cord




I must admit the spatter threw me on the settings as gas mig doesn't spatter anywhere near that much and you don't get the slag etc.. so I was adjusting here there and everywhere. But it's in and it does the job.

The next things to weld were the holes left from the heater matrix etc




welding starting to improve 🖒
