Hi I'm after a mig welder to do work on car body, exhausts etc

My budget is about 150 quid

What is most suitable and does anyone have 1 they would recommend?

I use a miller 400 at work but there about 700 quid new so well out my range

Only need for a few patch up jobs in the garage

Cheers

Steve

Cebora/Snap-on 130 Pocket Turbo can be had for around that price, maybe less.

Great little welders for diy patch jobs etc.

I have a Clarke 151 and it's an awsome welder for the money tbh.

Get it on .6 wire and a decent gas, and it'll be fine for car panels

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
