Hello from another newbie.

[Sideboard]

Hi every one, been reading through the site for a couple of weeks now so thought it was about time i joined.

Im looking to get myself a mig so i can start work on my suzuki samurai (its very rusty). Althogh i have only tried welding once before and that was quite along time ago.

My original buget was around £200, but after what iv read on the site i realise i may need to spend a bit more than that.

Any advice on what to buy would be much appriciated.

clarke 160EN, Disconect your battery and if it has an ecu take it out. Suzuki's have given me gyp in the past .... to the point that I price my self out of the job.

welcome, we are all here to help

Yeah the clarke 160en is at the top of my list at the moment, looks like a good bit of kit. Just not sure whether i should save a bit more and get something bigger so i dont have to up grade in the future.

Cheers for the advice. Luckily my suzuki only has very basic electrics and they dont really work at the moment any way.

I used my 160EN for 14 months between my snap-on going tatas and getting my GYS up and running. I put about 70Kg of 0.8/0.6 wire through it. I only upgraded again as I use the welder daily, so going upto 15kg reals will pay for its self

you wont go wrong
