As the title says really, I need something powerfull enough to weld the chassis sections on a Morris Minor yet gentle enough for the wings etc.
I want/need to spend as little as possible, but no more than £250 please.
I want it to be a mig as well please.
Recomendations, or is my wish list impossible?
Thanks.

Re: Need a new welder
Hello Jared,
you should be able to get what you want, the chassis sections are light so don't require a lot of power.
I suggest that you have a look at the posts here :- http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/
There have been a lot of posts similar to yours and there is a wealth of welding specific information there.

Re: Need a new welder
Yes look at the above mentioned excellent site. They will give you two pieces of excellent advice:-
1) Whatever you do DONT BUY A GASSLESS WELDER- you will regret it. Get a proper gas mig.
2) The best value/ quality/ reliable budget welders available are without doubt the Clarke series of welders. Buy the best one (widest range of power) you can afford. A Clarke 90 will just about do what you want but a 150 TE is a nicer machine. Again, make sure you only buy a gas mig welder NOT a gasless one.
