Good choice of welder, i've got the same one it should be enough to do the whole of the chassisand uprights ect.
I didn't feel that my welding was up to scratch so i ended up buying the wishbones and uprights.
Most importantly have fun, there will be some low points and unless you scavange or get really good bargins it will cost more than you think it will |
Location updated.
Thanks alot, I selected the welder from reading mig-welding.co.uk and everyone seemed to rate the 160TM highly as a first MIG and so far I am very pleased with it. I am going to do the same buy the wishbones and uprights. No doubt there will be lows (like dropping the pinto on ones foot - THANK god for steel toe caps) but I sure I'll have loads more fun. Once I get the steel I'll up date this thread with my progress.
I should be ok for parts as I know the guy that owns the local garage and they can get anything, I'm not kidding either hehe for very small cost. So hopefully they can help me out.
