I have 3 Saabs from the '70s that I plan to drive as my daily drivers, but there are a couple of rust areas that I would like to fix, but certainly cannot afford to pay someone else to do all the work, so I would like to know more about cutting, welding, forming metal. The rusty areas are on my 99 and my 900 under the battery where crap collects over the years and causes rust to grow. I need to cut out the rusty areas and then weld new pieces in, but I have no idea where to start.
- What kind of welder should I buy?
- What do I use to cut the old rusty metal out?
- Where do I go to pickup new metal pieces (the correct
type of steel, thickness, etc.)?
- Is there a good place on-line to educate myself on welding?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. These cars are really solid and should serve me for many years. I just want to fix the few rusty areas before they get much worse. Thanks!
