Hey boys!
Im almost done with welding floors for my 93 hatch! I have never welded before and this is how it came out.
I need some honest input from you guys, are the welds okay and will the car still have its structural integrity when im done welding.
I just have to weld the bottoms shut. All patches were welded without overlap. Heres some pics for clarification!

All painted

So if i weld these panels shut will my car be okay? Im not going to bend the metal and spot weld it like OEM. Im just gonna weld a horizontal piece in and make it shut. Will it be safe?

Use a little bit more heat. The welds you see that are bubbly, means it didnt properly fuse both metals. Not bad at all though.

Thank you for response. That is because i welded in stainless steel instead of regular metal. As i have heard, stainless is more brittle, also the melting temperatures are different for both metals so it was really hard to fuse them together. I did my best here. Anyways thanks mate!

For something that is going to get covered up, I'd be perfectly okay with it if it was my car. Good job for your first time.
