greetings from the sunny banks of Loch Lomond

[duckstew]

Hi there,

I have recently bought a land rover disco 1, there fore have been forced into buy a welder and learning how to use it.
Never done any welding or work on cars before so its a steep learning curve (like the face of a cliff) but a fun and interesting one none the less.
I have just bought my self the clarke MIG welder from weldequip and shall be pick the gas up later this week.

I have found this forum of endless use already and hopefully one day will be able to contribute but for the time I will be look for loads of help and advice.
