Finished up the welding, ground the welds flat, and put some primer on. Feels good to wrap this panel up! I still need to weld the new bumper bracket on, but I might do that after I tackle the suspension pan.

One thing I’ve realized is that laying down TIG welds when you have perfect access and visibility is like cheating. So much more challenging with your head inside a wheel well. No screw ups but not the prettiest welds. Not important as they were just ground down anyway. The seams visible in the photos are the edges where I removed the underbody coating. The welded seam is not visible.

Grinding took some patience but worked out fine. I also did some work on the inside/frunk to make the weld undetectable. Probably went a little overboard as the underbody coating will cover it all up.

Next up, suspension pan.
