Most of the time a weld is stronger than the metal itself, if it was weaker our whole cars would fall apart sence there welded pieces of metal

You guys make very good points. Our cars are all welds. And racecar roll cages are welded. And they survive hitting a wall at 200 MPH. It really comes down to how good of a welding job was done. When you're buying a car with repaired frame damage, it comes down to the qualty of the work. Unless you know who did it, you're taking a chance that it may have been done by someone who's not very good. Which is why most people avoid salvage titled cars.

It's possible

I've just started welding, so I don't know a whole lot, I guess now that I actually think about it, it does depend on what kind of welding has been done, how big the bead is, etc.

What parts of our frame is actually welded? I haven't had mine up on the lift in some time.

Good luck, always watching to see what is available so you get what you want.....it just takes patience.

Assuming can cause problems even with the best of intentions, good luck with finding the Monte of your dreams!
