Apolagies but i am a newbie!

[Fourcandles]

Hello Everyone and yes I am a newbie(I belive that is the term).

Background is, bought the original book many years ago, couldnt find a Mk1 Escort so found a DOHC sierra for £25. Then did the usual i.e got married bought a house with no garage and had kids. Then bought the new book which brilliantly is based on the sierra......the story goes on and on.

Anyway I now have the book, the donor and the space and i belive the time although the wife might not agree on the last point.

Next stage welding!!! i did a bit of arc welding many years ago but believe that MIG is the thing now and that i need something like the Clarke 151e?

I know that i am new but could i ask if anyone has or knows of a decent 2nd hand MiG welder that I could buy?

Also anyone got any spare steel that I can abuse whilst i practice?

By the way i am based in Mirfield West Yorks, its near Leeds.

All advice, help V gratefully apprectiated.
