To weld or not to weld.

[RoboCod]

I have a project car that needs a fair amount of work. For one, it needs some patches of welding done to pass its MOT. How easy is welding to teach oneself? Could I pick up a welder and "have a go"? Do I just suck it up and stump up the supposed rip-off cost at a garage?

Has anyone here self taught?

Great thanks for the feedback. Typically, the rusted panels are all out of sight, so doing it myself isn't so bad as if they were all in view. There are some large bubbles of rust around the window and outer edge of the wings though , and I'm unsure how to combat them or to just leave them.

I predict fun times ahead either way.

Yeah, I think I'd find it quite fun too. The car needs lots of work, but welding being the main thing. I think it is going to offer as much fun (and frustration) being worked on as it will be driven
