Another weld repairing a factory brace weld in the wheel well area that had pulled apart, pretty big gap. Not the best for TIG, learning how to float the puddle.

Welded up the ends of the gap/crack first. Then did a small spot, skipped some and did another weld. The puddle needed to be big to bridge the gap. Let each one cool. Over time got it all filed in.
