    Okay in the US after 25 years old. No worse than some rusty rat rods on the road now.

    Why are those patch panels ugly? The high welds?

    I can see how some of those pictures should use some additional grinding, but my understanding was to leave the welds a bit high so that the material isn't thinned out to much through grinding operations?

    In my opinion, (and I am new to welding) it's not so much the welds (even if I would have grinded them) as is the location and choise of patcharea, the wheelhouse one is right over a seam, and its welded over the cutout, so it creates a rustpocket on the other side. The torquebox is a crooked patch in the middle, with a big rusthole above it, why not make it straight to the edge.... The third one has some bad welding I think, and no one bothered to drill the holes for the heatshield...

    I think the welds are ugly because the welder was too cold; as in the power was not set high enough. Depending on the type of welder and it could be that they were using a stick welder or using flux core wire. The point here is that the weld material (stick or MIG wire) is not being allowed to melt/flow into the surrounding metal so it just stacks up. Welders call this "bubble gum". Normally, you would grind it down, however I suspect if you did on these it would be very thin and would easily crack, break.

    Who give's a rat's Butt hole about that patch work.

    Remove and replace these is what I would do.

    Hack job work is ugly and many here see it when we restore our cars.
