Mild steel patches. Wish I had a spare junk frame lying around.…

Mild steel patches. Wish I had a spare junk frame lying around. I also don't have a few goodies I need to run our big blue box, so this work was done with the little Miller MIG, which required a lot of prep and three passes on the perimeter to get a full 3/16 fillet. I'm still not happy, but even mild steel and mediocre penetration beats air and rust, which is what was there 10 minutes ago. Between the two patches, I only ran into trouble (porosity) in one spot, and it's in a non-critical area on the passenger side, which wasn't as bad.
