advise on this little issue, its the only lil bit in the gutters, there are also a coupla spots on the a-pillar, ist not reall weld-in-a-patch size, but im not that happy about using filler on it.
could it be braised up or lead loaded? or is it too big?

any suggestions welcome...

A good person with a mig should be able to take care of that without distorting much.

usually community courses and the like over here if its just for fun. i brought an arc welder and practiced myself, it just takes time to learn on thin steel. mate has a mig, but has had some traning at uni, but really its all practice and knowing how to set the machine up right.
