Hi All,
I have just joined after finding your website/forum last night. It looks like a mine of useful information!
I am looking at buying a MIG to do some basic bodywork repairs on my little toy:

I have been doing some very light resto work and found the dreaded tin worm around the rear axle mounting point. With it already needing rear arch work on both sides, I think it is tome I dived in the deep end!
I have been doing a bit of reading and have decided to go MIG with Gas and have a very limited budget - would like to stay the right side of £200 for the welder.
I have found these which I think tick the boxes, though would appreciate any advice to the contrary?
130Amp-230V-Sealey-S0771
Wolf-MIG-140-Combination-Welder
This Clarke seems a fair bit more expensive, but for no extra spec?
CLARKE 230V 13A PLUG GAS BOTTLE 130AMP TURBO MIG WELDER
I am only really looking to be able to weld car bodywork and maybe the odd piece of mild steel box or tube - I can't see me ever wanting to go bigger than about 3mm, so am I right in thinking 130A is plenty of power?
Many thanks for any replies!
