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 |

When I bought my first cheap compressor I learned a lesson and replaced it a few years later with an $800 unit. When I went to buy a welder I remembered that lesson. I love my 220v Miller 175 with variable voltage and wire speed. I ended up spending over $700 ($800?) after the gas bottle bottle and accessories were done. I've never looked back...
