Hi
ive got an old US army jeep that is in need of some panels being welded - chassis etc is all fine
I currently have an arc welder that i have some but not much experience with - everyone tells me this will simply melt / blow holes in the body panels so i need a mig apparently - is this right? mine goes down to 1.6mm rods
Will only get light/minimal usage so am looking at doing it on a budget
everyone i ask seems to have different opinions on migs ie "dont bother with gasless" & "make sure u get gasless"
Questions are
Gas or no gas? benefits etc? (some welding will have to be done out doors
Which gas? How much?
Which welder brand/model? (or which to avoid)
Second hand?
What amp setting do i want to use for 1mm panels & best wire size ?
many thanks
