Well I finally took the plunge and bought a welder

Hobart 140 MIG wirefed. 120volt

I have a rust hole in the floor and a few other things to repair on REPU. And want to repack the magnaflow mufflers with stainless steel wool as they've gotten louder.

And install a panhard rod.

Replace muffler on my Amigo. Some trailer work. Other little odd jobs.

Should be fun.

Insurance co didn't give me the multi-car discount so I got about $500 back from them YIPPIE.

Welder

Way to go Brad; man can't own too many tools! You get a little practice with that thing and pretty soon you'll be wondering how you ever got along without one.

way to go brad, thats actually the same welder i have been using, works very well.. just worry about getting the surfaces clean and you will be welding up a storm in no time.
