> hey guys. i know the welding is shit. its cosmetically shitty looking but it penetrated well. lol. it was the different thickness of the metals that really made it shitty. i have welded way better but this a new welder and i was using non gas wire with gas and i havnt learned the settings on this bitch yet. bottom line yes she is a winter car. and its more then half the people on this site have done to their 240’s.  
> this car didnt even move. i dont think people understand the condition this bitch was in. lol any ways thanks for comments. wait till tommorows pics. i will be dropping in the motor tommorow also so john get ur mofo ass over here after work lol. oh and btw my girlfriend backed into a ford crown vic tonight. fucked the rear bumper on my black s13 hatch. and really fucked the vics front drivers corner. so i have to take sunday now and fix this mess too. fml lol

Don’t think I’m trying to start crap with this comment… I’m not.

A,  
Your welds look cold in most places. Which means lack of heat. Therefore, lack of penetration.

B,  
Using flux core wire with a shielding gas isn’t a bad thing. It’s actually far superior to normal MIG and flux core without gas.  
And you always drag flux core. And push with MIG.  
However, unless you are very unfamiliar with the dual shielding set up you just stick to either MIG or flux core. It will be much easier.  
Actually… You should stick with MIG as it is better to body work. There’s no flux to get stuck under the paint and hold moisture.

C,  
Anything with flux core will tend to burn hotter. So it takes more fine tuning to get the machine set up right.
