Learning to weld on the rear battery box

My first mig weld

I think this picture shows for itself my welding skill level, which before this, was none.

After two or three days of practicing on random bits of steel I'd gotten comfortable enough to start cutting out the metal frame lengths for the rear battery box and weld it together.
As i only had an angle grinder to cut the metal, none of my cuts were exactly perfect, but close enough to where i could weld over any small gaps.

The pictures below show the rear battery box being tack welded in place then welded in properly and the batteries being test fitted in the boot to check clearance which was perfect.
