I read about all these people having to do loads of welding to their mk5's but i have not had to do any to mine in the 2 years i have owned it just a small bit of filler in the arches

if you was closer id teach you best thing to do if you want to learn is pick up a cheep welder on ebay you can get 1 for under £200 which takes disposable gas bottles then get some scrap metal an practice you can teach your self with a few pointers
