Ahhhh, but what does 16 gauge mean!! 
I reckon JK or Scholly replacement panels are about a mm & VW are about 1.4mm.
Have decided this sort of welding is no good for your mig.....stop, start....stop,start stuff all day long. Must wear it out quicker!

64 thou or just over 1.5mm
I don't think they're anything like that thick to be honest, just under a mm I thought, but stand to be corrected.
