Isn't that called running before you can walk?

I would highly recommend trawling ebay for a couple of weeks to find a 150 amp or higher second hand Mig welder. Then invest a small amount in replacing the wire liner, swan neck, possibly torch etc and you will have a good quality reliable welder. It will probably come with some wire, maybe even gas. Just make sure it works before you hand over any money.

Arc is really best left for thicker metals, and Tig will take a lot longer to learn. As well as taking an absolute age to weld up a full chassis.
