Hi guys
my first post on here and a very embarassing one it is too to admit I don't have a welder and have never done any either.
I am hoping, like so many people, to learn to weld to get on top of the repairs our Beetle is going to need done in the near future if it is to stay on the road.
That is what I need a welder for...the place for welding is not ideal as it is outside as I don't have access to a garage. From what I can gather this limits me to gasless MiG welding or have I misunderstood all the info about shrouding the weld pool etc? Can one of these welders be used to repair car panels successfully or would I be better forgetting it and selling the kids to pay a garage to do it for me?
Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions for hello post, slap my wrist!
