Welding panels
I'm getting ready to repair a couple of small rust spots. What precautions should I take to prevent damaging any of the electronics in the car. Will I have to remove these parts prior to welding, or is it enough to disconnect the battery ground.

Would disconnect the battery and probably the harness from the motor to the connection in the back. On a DME car would also disconnect the computer... that should do it.
