WAI make good machines too
I bought a 150 amp unit a few years ago and it works well

got a gasless 100amp sip mig- heaps of spares available like cigwelds. (just need to pick it up)

i just need cheap and hope it doesnt blow too many holes in datsun body work (has high and low).

levey did his 2 door with his 90amp ozito so should be ok- not great but ok.

i fugure im finally giving it a go which can only be points for tyring.

Basicly it come down to what your welding. if its car pannels you dont need like the big pulse-migs that i normaly use at work.
CIGweld is a good brand, and sip also.
I prefer gas for body work, its a bit more "forgiving" also. Like a small sip welder can be picked up from repco and there gas and gasless and for a few $100 with 12month warranty.
where abouts are you located?

total tools in bayswater do short welding welding course's and they can fit you up with a good welder to suit your style of welding.

i also would/need a welder and to tidy my skills up a bit... can weld a lil but no expert.

what would be the best welder to buy for working on cars and how much to pay for a 2nd hand one?

well ones just a bit of a wrinkle in the front apron which shouldnt be a problem, the others where it seems someone had a bit of a rage at not being able to close the bonnet, so a palm-sized pushed in nose, might be a bit hard getting at the back of it cos theres a fair bit of bracing behind it...

how bad are the dings champ?

Hey Id be keen to get some dings pulled, might have to get a quote as my funds are stretched atm...but consider me interested!

lol mik ill play wit it and see how she blows

Welding isnt hard to learn. and its extremely handy! lol.
i prefer gas over gasless, for bodywork anyways.

grab yourself some scrap steel and sheet metal and blast away. learn how your wire speed/feed works etc etc. you'll have a blast!

ben.

id be interested but will be getting gasless mig soon to teach my self too. but would rather have it done right, cause i wont do it 100%.
