Great video, thanks for the upload. 8:30 that weld may need less voltage on the selection switches and/or more wire speed (amps) for increased penetration.....it's always a trade off? .... often the case when using MIGs with too high a capacity for thin bodywork steel, the low end current and voltage is tough to set with too large a step between settings. Older sprung hi tensile body steel maybe thicker but I find it's tougher to weld due to its carbon content. The Internet would have you believe that bigger is better with MIG amps. A 90 amp MIG really is all the power and still then some you need for car monocoques. We aren't dealing with gate hinge gauge here etc. Interesting video. Been MIG welding over 40 years, it gets easier but, every day is school day😊😎
Glad to see you back and well your welding looks good the more weld the better you get good luck with the next part of the restoration take care ben

thank you very helpful video 👍
Brilliant, just bought one myself and this is a great starting point. Thanks
That was a good help to me.....thanks for sharing.
Good video
What wire thickness was that with, Dermot? Thanks for the vid.
I want to buy a welder , would you recommend that Clarke 135 ?? I m restoring a Fiat 850 coupe 1971
