I started looking into welding equipment for body/hell hole/jackstand repair of my 914. A friend told me that MIG is the way to go for this. My question is what specifications do I need in a MIG welder to get the job done without a lot of grief? Also, what gage steel should be used for making patches?
Thanks |

Here is my $.02 on saving money on welding equipment. I would buy a self darking welding shield only from real welding supply house. I'm not trusting my retinas to a hood made in some third world country.
