Hi to all,
I'm new to the forums, I've got a 1973 superbeetle convertible (first car, passed down from my father 15 years ago) and I've begun the restauration process, its not in a bad shape but some areas need attending for the swiss equivalent of the MOT (just moved there from france where its a joke).
Having read just about every line of the MIG section of the website and quite a bit of the forums, I'm looking to buy a MIG welder very soon because my brother has a cheap one that he uses with no gas wire (bimax 150) and I believe this is not appropriate for good gas welding.
The need it mostly for bodywork, nothing heavy (thick) and I'm considering buying a GYS SmartMig 162. I've already found a supplier for Linde Gas (82% argon / 18% CO2).
I'm not looking to branch out too much from car repairs, I work with computers...
Would this welder be a good choice? If not, then which one would be a good choice (staying reasonnable in price)?
Thanks for all the help
Sebastien
