I'm no bodyman- just started doing it for myself recently.
That would not be acceptable had I done it myself- let alone paid someone for it.

he says that's a technique not to bend the sheet metal... the problem is the 2 parts of metal are not melted together...
I'm not so sure of that technique.... please take a look at the whole pics, second sandblast and epoxy primer was done by another shop...

That's the worst welding job I've seen. Two concerns.... (1) What's under the hammered-up patch? Old rusted roof piller, just waiting to grow? (2) After filler, each area BETWEEN his tac welds is an area where moisture can collect and escape (meaning bondo will soon bubble) If you continue on with this type of patch work in the car, I would consider selling it fairly soon after it's painted.

I'm considering to remove the patch to see what's under... it's not a big job putting it back in a proper way

looking close is there still lead on the seam there? If so what are the spot welds on? Can we see the rest of the 1/4 panel? Do not feel bad, I had some work like that done to my car recently, then had the car blasted and done over by a great bodyman. It will get there, John.
all the pics here http://fotoalbum.hotrod.it/
