tryed that mate, no much going. thanks for help
you will want to spend a few more quid ontop of anything you get btw.
35quid for a cheap autodark mask, 50-60 for bottle deposit and 30 for a fill, gloves, decent reel of wire.
assuming you have an angle grinder, wire wheels, etc
btw have a look at Welding - The DIY Guide forums. if you really want cheap, stick is cheapola.. but is a right bugger to master and you'll burn holes in thin stuff.

Sound advice trax! Mines doesn't have good fine adjustment for thin stuff like footwells so can be a struggle
i don't. but you don't need any of that.
just grab a bottle of argon mix 5% or 15% or just some co2 if you want.
i'm by no means a great welder.. 'good enough' welder for cars.
the most important bit is preparation. to start with, nice tight joints and everything very clean and away you go.
being careful not to set fire or hurt yourself or others
(ie keep animals and humans away from staring at the arc)
having a look, it looks just like a normal argon/co2 mix. slightly higher co2 on the 7.
it really doesn't matter too much until you are good and want to muck about

YRM do a lot of pre-formed parts just incase you didn't know. Always found they fit well and prices not too bad apart from postage costs.
Can save you time bending n shaping bits.
Good luck n mind the pics

YRM sell parts that are preformed so no need to try shaping metal. Hope this helps.
