Hi all.
Have an old mini. Austin type. Not bmw.
There is a tiny hole in the sill not far from where the rear wheel arch starts.
My question is…
Is it acceptable to lap weld a patch (entire perimeter of patch) if appearance isn’t an issue or must a new piece of metal be butt welded?
My reasoning is that if I can cut the rot out myself I can save on cost there and also on fabrication time for the new piece. My main concern is getting it roadworthy. it’s no show car.
Have a pic. It paints a 1000 words 🙂
Oops can’t upload pic.
