You need different goggles to cut out the flux flare otherwise you will never see through it,and aluminium never goes red like steel,keep the torch flame neutral and moving,as soon as you see the aluminium start to move add the welding rod,although I never use rods I use a thin piece of whatever aluminium I am welding.

This came in today 500 SEC bearing in mind I only repair and paint coaches now,used to do vintage and classic cars,friend of my boss could I just spot repair?
I said no as every panel has scab,chips,dent or scratches,I said it would have to be everything but roof.
But considering it is 33 years old it’s not bad outside but inside could do with a lot of TLC

Looks like its still the original paint finish / colour too...and if that 1/4 panel is representative of the rest of the car, it's still in very good condition. Will look very well when finished. Good work,
Jim2
