Its just a tiny hole guys,,It takes about a second to fix this.
Good GOD! There is no need to have 27 post on how to weld a 1/8" hole with a MIG welder..................... remember,,this is AutoBody101,,,not "Advanced Welding Technology".

I have heard of using copper and stuff, but i never really understood why. I figured that the mig would just melt a big hole into the thin sheet metal, and that this tool was designed to handle that or something. Like i said, i was in a high school metal class. Worked mostly with 1/2'' metal, body work is a whole new game to me that i hope to learn soon. I've got SO many projects, this Scirocco is just barely scratching the surface! So now i wont need to post again on another thread asking "how do i fix this BIG hole!"
in retrospect, it was a pretty stupid question, i could have probably found it through a few more hours of searching. I really appreciate your replies!
