The Sealey one looks good. Will weld the chassis with ease but if you'r doing a lot of welding I would get a big bottle of Gass and a reg to fit. The little bottles are a rip off.
U will need a auto mask and a pair of welding gloves
 
I swear by my little Clark 135TE. Pretty inexpensive and is more than capable of dealing with most things on the landy. It's just a shame that it's owner is not quite up to the job. :lol: :)
 
Whatever welder you choose get one with a "Euro torch" that uses consumables [nozzle shrouds and wire feed tips] available at welding supplies every where.

I had a 130EN and that is what I thought too. Till I got a better welder. I now use a top end Lincoln and it is just sooo forgiving. Complete novices can make excellent simple welds within minutes.

Cheap machines just don't have the power capacity, nor powerful enough drive motors, nor drive wheel clamping mechs nor power controls etc.
 
I have a cheap and nasty gas/no gas migm from Screwfix. 150Amp but minimum amperage is 50Amps so it blows holes "A LOT" but on thicker stuff it's great I'm sure a more expensive one would be better. But I'm not doing it for a living So I'll put up with the one I've got.
 
Just used my new Millermatic 211 on 220V since I got it, in fact brought it from Miami on the airplane as cargo.

I always advise to buy good quality stuff if you can afford it and intend to use it repetitively, they hold their value and of course supposed to perform well.

Can't get Argo Shield in this stupid place so using flux core and hate it, can't beat a nice clean weld shielded with Argo Sheild. Just made some heavy duty brackets for my HAM radio table, I must say that I am very impressed with the welder.

I will try it with CO2 and solid wire.

Good luck and keep practicing, MIG welding is relatively easy.
