In this episode, I carry on waiting for the covering plate right to arrive and get to work on repairing part of the inner wheel arch where the covering plate meets it. This is the first time I have ever welded thin metal like this, so please do not use this as a how-to. This is just my experience and how it went for me. I'm 99% sure the next episode will be the one in which I get to weld the new piece in. Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching.
Subscribe with the bell on to see how I get on welding in a new panel.
