I am using this

Pretty good welding machine. You could be able to weld suspension mounts and body metal if you need.

I got sent a link to a welding setup guide today. I haven't looked at it but it may be of some help to beginners:

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

I use a gasless mig had it for 15year now and there is nothing I have not been able to weld with it
It is so handy as well just plug and play
It is not a pritty weld like a gas mig but would say just as strong a weld
If you are welding thick stuff just get a good root in then a couple of runs along that
My local ALDI were selling gasless wire in there sale and I picked up five coils for 12.50
I like a bargain

Take a look at the mig welding forum, they are a helpful bunch (like us

) and there is loads of info on the various welders, how to get started and a section on TIG

www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/

FWIW, I have a clarke MIG 151EN turbo, which is a gas/gasless welder supplied gasless. To run gas, you have to buy a little regulator and weld gas, then swap the cable polarity over. Does a lovely job with gas, gasless welds are a bit rough, but it works outside

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Thanks, I had found that forum and have signed up, using the same forum name so you may see me on there :cheer:

I only have the outside to do any welding anyway, so maybe gas less will be best, but I will see. My Dad's welder is gas, so I will see how if fares. It was been suggested that I get some partitions to set-up around where I am welding to avert prying eyes which may also keep the wind away so I could go with gas.
