im just about to start building a mini with a honda vtec engine in it.
Ive goto make a new subframe using the back of the old mini subframe and constructing a new front out of box section to accommodate the engine...
i was wondering what kind of welder i could get for that kind of money with an auto helmet? a clarke one?
il be welding in my garage, and wondered if a gas mig welder is essential, will a gassless flux cored one produce the same quality welds? but with splatter?
i presumed 130amps would be powerful enough as il be welding max of 5mm steel...
I cant weld but ive got 6 weeks to learn and get all the stuff together, hopefully im a quick learner :|.
your advise would be excellent
thanks
