I am struggling to figure out what the point of the welder is as well. Anyone have any tips? I pay 1K and it does nothing to restore body condition or appearance. Sakura Moon.

I thought this was fixed in the latest patch, but maybe it's the next patch. Sometimes the notes get confusing.

it'll only clear rust on parts of the car that can't be removed. If there's rust on a body panel you have to take it off and repair it or replace it to get the rust off

So I did more testing. The welder repairs the body so it looks new (just the frame parts after all body panels are removed). But, it never seems to have any impact on the % condition or restore value. I wish the devs would just tell us what the expectation is here. Is it not possible anymore (compared to previous CMS games) to restore every single car to 100% body and parts now? If not, that may be kind of more realistic and welcome, but I just wish I knew if it was a bug or by game design. It's hard to tell with such limited info from within the game or published elsewhere.

Also, when you get the last skill upgrade that says it "lets you repair body parts", what does that do if I can already repair some body parts in the bench?

The only cars that I have found unable to fully restore to 100% body condition are the cars that only have 1 licence plate. Such as the GTR. That one I can only get to 96% due to it still taking the 2nd plate into consideration.As far as parts go, even from launch I have always managed to get to the 100%. I am guessing that is just a few game quirks. Are you guys using the welder in conjunction with the interior tool? Need to use both in order to get rid of all the rust.

That is exactly what that means. You cannot however repair exhaust, tail lights, headlights glass and some mirrors.
