Welding the wheel well was hard , Prep work is a must and a dirty job . Use a dust mask and safety glasses . Grinding the Undercoating wass not fun at all. Before welding , I made sure I had a fire extinguisher handy just in case. As most 240sx owner know there is a shit load of Black tar insulation crap all over the Chassis. This stuff is flamable!Be aware that there may be foam inside the C pillar , Please remove anything inside that may cause a fire.
I started welding slowly , I mean like short bursts and pause for a second and continued .I had my welder on lowest settings , you have to be carefull you dont keep burning through. It helps to put a wet damp rag on inside rear passenger compartment QP. ( behind the surface you are welding).It goes slow but it helps , keep in mind to constantly check for fires.
Here is the end result, its not my best , but its functional. Sprayed with undercoating to protect .
