Yeah they're pretty good, i found them when i was looking for cars that had inner wing repairs like mine.  I googled "Mk1 golf inner wing weld".... those two threads are the sort of cars where most people would scrap them!.. on that mig welding site there's some amazing non dub welding projects, people attacking what looks to be impossible.
