is that a gas welder? ive welded before…i borrowed a generic one from a guy a work with when i was building my civic…i was able to make a good seal but my welds didnt look that good lol.

I saw your welds, the problem with them was that you tried to weld galvanized steel without removing the zinc from where you are welding, you have to sand it off the area you are welding, then with practice you can weld almost as well as a gas welder, it just takes practice.

You are not ready for Tig though young jedi.
