Welding advice, Can a cheap flux welder do what I need? Options

[Deusexmachina77]

I have to weld in a new front trunk pan replacing the hole left from an AC unit. I have taken two MIG classes. Beside being a newbie, I have other limitations to consider.

I don’t have access to a 220 line.
I’m inexperienced.
It would cost me $1000 to have it professionally done. And I don’t want to buy a bunch of equipment for one job.

Can I use a flux welder? There a couple cheap units at Harbor Freight (under $150) on sale right now. What don’t I know that I should know?

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I have had the titanium for 4 years now. I have used it on 1/4 plate and on sheet metal. I use aluminum foil to protect surfaces. It will give a very nice weld on thick metal, takes a little practice on the thin stuff. It has been very reliable and worth what I paid for it. No jamming or any other issues. Practice your welds before attempting thin metal work. I was a welder in a previous life (30 years ago) though. Mig or tig would of course be better but I really think the titanium has its applications and this may be one of them. No gas, super cheap, decent quality, and 120 with the guts to make really nice welds on pretty heavy metal.
