Hi,
Leave enough of an overlap to give you something to weld to.
Make sure what you are welding to is sound and very, very clean.
A good grinder with very thin cutting disks for cutting the metal, and
grinding disks for grinding out welds, cleaning etc etc.
Take a look at:

for an idea on what you might expect, and what results you can achieve.
Regards
Colin.
