This as probably been asked a million times, but i'm gonna ask again.
I currently restoring a 1970 VW Camper and as with most 37 year old vehicles it requires some welding.
I'm currently using a Mates Clarke 130TE Turbo and got to say im impressed with it.
Originally i bought a WOLF 105 turbo, but it turned up with parts missing and the wire was bird nesting inside the lance so i sent it back the day after it arrived!
Anyway i've decided i need my own welder as i dont want to rely on my mate all the time (even though hes lent me his BOC Argon bottle which i paid to have refilled) and i have just bought a new regulator to suit.
Having used his Clarke (and with my Wolf Experience) i thinks its a clarke im looking for. But what size is where you come in (hopefully)
Body panels are only 1mm and chassis work is 3mm so dont need anything stupid, was thinking of either a Clarke 110E (Machine mart £188 incl VAT) or a Clarke 130EN Turbo (MM £200 incl) or a Clarke 151EN Turbo (MM £200)
Which would you go for and where is the best place to buy? Machine mart?
