I know it's been done before.. but which mig welder?
Hey all, I was wondering which MIG would be suitable for the purposes of installing the Locktup classic front and rear suspension kits, general automotive bodywork (thin) and making bars like a rear wheel carrier.
Before anyone comments, yes, I am proficient enough in welding (have at least 240 hours behind a MIG). I learned how to use them at school using their unimigs with gas, and hence I'm after one that both uses gas and gasless for outdoor work where it might be windy, but primarily for the installation of this suspension kit.
I've got no idea which brands are good/which models and amperages I should get, only that the unimig I used seemed good enough for what I was doing at school, and might be ok for this?
I have a budget of up to $1500, and I want it to LAST.
thanks for any help you guys can give, this must get really tiring after a while.

trade tools looks like a fantastic site!
even their little $400 jobbie looks like it'd be a lot better than the ebay POS's you find.
thanks for all your input guys, i'll look into one of those renegade ones or perhaps the unimig procraft on there, thanks chunder.
What do you guys do for gas bottle rental? i hear it costs around $100 per year or so for rental and then gas is extra?
