Your doing a fantastic job on it. Enjoy seeing you save the Volvo
I have never tried welding and don't have access to power where I live. My 240 Outrigger was the same and got welded for £50.
Your job is so much better. Had it re-welded 2 years later as rusted through on welds! Sold car around 2 years ago. Now have a 1996 940.
