poo poo, I got a pic somewhere from the '90s of an '80s Civic sedan with a chunk of steel pipe at least that large in the center of the rear.

There's a fine line between insanity and genius.

Good break-over angle, good approach and departure angle. seats 5-6. I don't see a problem.

I also choose to believe there is nothing more when you click "more"

It's just "frame broke, so what"

There's a terrible movie called "Joshua Tree" that prominently features an F40 (and also a warehouse full of Countaches) that was shown to me by a friend who insisted they were all real. I'm sitting there saying "...nnnnnooo, that is clearly a Fiero kit. They are driving it through the chaparral desert on a dirt road and the body panels are flopping all around like they going to fall off"

He was unmoved and still believes. Now I have serious doubts about his ability to understand orders of magnitude in budget numbers

The other night at the pub, my friend mentioned he had a Fiero with no engine and a line on a series 2 L67, and followed that up with "hey do you know how to weld?". I don't.

I'm vaguely curious as to whether or not I would do a worse job than that.

Using a MIG is easy peasy. I am confident I could get pretty much anyone with motor skills better than those of a toddler and a brain capable of vague cognitive thought sticking metal together well in a couple of hours.

Doing thin sheet bodywork though? That's more of an art form.

The difficult bit of welding on cars is the thickness of metal and the positions you have to weld in. Sticking two bits of 5mm steel together on a table top is piss easy. Doing 1mm bodywork while you're laying on your back awkwardly due to access is poop from a butt and the least fun form of welding. Unfortunately as a car guy this is the poo poo you'd be doing most often if you're a fan of lovely rotbox cars like I am. :cry:

*edit: I could certainly have you welding better than those 'rari ones as those ones do seem to have been done by a toddler. Possibly a drunk toddler who was using the old 'close your eyes while you pull the trigger' method of welding as opposed to using a mask.

MIG welding is dead easy when set up right - you can hand a welder to a complete newbie and they will be able to lay down acceptable welds within minutes with a few pointers. Lots of the learning curve for me at least was figuring out how to dial things in. Power, wire feed rate, gas flow, a good ground connection and cleanliness/welder maintenance need to be at least mostly right before you can effectively learn the motor skills involved.
