For about $250.00-$300.00 you can get a small, portable, wire feed MIG welder
which works ten times better than the little cheap $150.00 electric wire feed
welders. I borrowed one of the cheapy electric ones from a friend and had
great difficulties doing quality welding. Then I borrowed a MIG which worked
great. Welding tip- because body sheet metal is so thin you have to almost
spot weld the entire replacement piece. One continuous weld causes to much
heat and you will burn a hole right through your metal. I speak from
experience.
